Anyone tired of potty updates yet?

I always have lots going on around me at once. I am sure you can imagine that with 4 children life can be pretty crazy. My youngest is only 3 months old, and is nursing lots during the daytime. My second youngest is potty training, and that can be extremely high maintenance. I am homeschooling my oldest. My second son is my only non-high maintenance one at this point.

So, the update on Jonathan is a pretty good one. He's completely daytime and nighttime "pee" trained. He is underwear 100% of the time now. Last week I dealt with his iron will and we literally were taking hundreds of trips to the potty for him to just sit there for 1 second and say "all done". Lots of pee-pee dances, and eventually a successful pee in the potty.
NO MORE OF THAT (for pee-pee, anyway). Now, everytime he has to pee he goes to his potty, and pees right away. No more doing the pee-pee dance. He's got it down.
Now on to the #2 issue. Now when he has to go #2 . . . we make hundreds of trips to the potty, and he sits for about 2 seconds (hey that's progress, right), and he gets up and says "all done". Then he dances around, makes more trips, and eventually goes in his underwear. At which point, I am so thankful that it came out, I could care less that it's in his pants. Honestly, the trips to the potty are wearing me down. JUST GO ALREADY! Go somewhere . . . go in the potty, go in your pants, JUST GO!
No, I am not frustrated at all! LOL
We have made a great deal of progress in the last week. He doesn't wear diapers anymore! That means I don't have to spend anymore precious dollars on those paper diapers that we just use once and then throw away!!! WOOHOO! He is completely #1 trained. He even woke up last night at 10:30 PM, and told me he had to pee in his potty!! YAY!!! So, he went immediately, then went back to bed. No accidents. I am so thankful for the progress that we've made. I am tossing around, offering a reward for going #2 in his potty. Real chocolate, for instance. The ghiardelli real chocolate chips . . . are a huge treat to my children, since we don't do the candy thing.
I've never done that before with potty training, but willing to try it. I'll let you know if I resort to that. I hesitate on several levels. Generally, I just wonder if it's a good idea to offer rewards like that for something that he just has to do in order to survive in life. There are many things that I require of my children on a daily basis that they have to do just in order to be a functioning member of this family. They don't get rewards for doing it. It's just expected of them. But I keep thinking that if it would speed up the process . . . I am all for not cleaning up poopy pants!
I'll let you know what I decide. And of course, before I do anything, Rich would have to approve of the method, and I have a feeling that he's not going to want to go that route.
