In a discussion about our dogs...
Q. So, what are they? Are they people?
A. No, they don't talk as much.
We've also backfired (already) on our fledgling toilet-training attempt. Apparently if you pee in your big boy underpants, you get to wear another pair! Hooray!
And the boy across the street gets a chocolate chip when he uses his potty successfully, rather than a sticker. My sticker mania is crushed.

I'm not a parent yet, but I think your sticker idea is great. Food is not a good thing to associate with reward.
OH, Gabe figured that out, too - he will bring me the wet pair and then run his naked little bottom into his room and grab a fresh pair of "Spuh Bob pants, Mama!" He is, however, disappointed when we out him back into a diaper and tell him, "If you wet in the big boy pants you go back in the diapers." I have faith he'll catch on ONE of these days.
Raisins are a wonderful reward to use - they're a natural laxative and make the kiddo poop, and then he gets raisins for a reward, so he does it again, and gets more raisins, and does it again...see? :)
