Potty Training MACIE Style

So I have been working on potty training Macie every since she turned two.  I have had little luck with the whole process until now.  The past couple of weeks Macie has been very good about going "tee-tee" in the potty, but she told me that she's too scared to "poo-poo".  Well, I broke down and got a big plastic see through box with "poo-poo prizes" (thanks to my friend Cassie's parents' idea) and set it right beside the potty.  Now, every time she goes "tee-tee" she gets to long for one of the "poo-poo prizes".  Yesterday, she finally did it!  She was so excited too.  She kept screaming, "I DID IT, MOMMY, I DID IT!!!"  So stinkin' funny.  She got her cheap Dollar Tree prize and was super duper happy (sadly it broke 5 min. later, of course).

Well, today she left the room for a while then all of the sudden she runs into the living room screaming, "I DID IT, MOMMY, I DID IT!!!"  I walked back into my bedroom bathroom and she sure did "do IT"...in her little potty and took it upon herself to take on the clean up responsibility as well.  GROSS!  "IT" was everywhere...all over the little potty, HER HANDS, the big toilet.  She was so proud of herself, so I couldn't be mad.  I started the bath water, put her in there, and started to clean "IT" up.  Again, she got her "poo-poo prize".

I'm so glad that my 2 1/2 year old is finally potty training, but I hope this little adventure never repeats itself.  I didn't take pictures of "IT"--too nasty--but I did take some pictures of the "poo-poo prize" box and then Macie wanted to model for me:
