PEE PEE in the POTTY!!!

So Potty training Emerson hasn't really been a priority at our house.  Lets face it... accidents don't sound like too much fun.  Plus, Emerson doesn't really seem like she wants to and what would I use to motivate the child that already gets as much candy as she could possibly dream of.  Honestly... she thinks the Diego potty is a hat...

However, she has been waking up dry and she is starting to understand the concept so I think I should help her out a little bit.  For Christmas... Grandma Candy gave her tons of Chocolate ornaments to hang on the tree.  She loves them and wants them so bad.  I decorated the upstairs tree with them and put them high enough that she can't reach them.  She asks for them all day long.  I have even caught her trying to get them down with the bar stool.  I think they are so cute and I love them on the tree... I told Tanner I wasn't going to let her eat them... Then it dawned on me... why not let that be the pee pee motivator?  The blue ones are her favorite...
So now... I ask her if she has to go pee pee and she says no... I ask her if she wants a chocolate ornament and she says... "I pee pee"  Works like a charm.  The only problem is that now she wants to pee every five minutes so she can eat an ornament... Oh well, eventually we will get there.  I will not brave leaving the house though without a diaper yet... I am not mentally prepared for that.
