Plus, when she runs off with something (i.e. a Bounce sheet, a piece of Kleenex, a sock from the dryer, etc.) she knows the sound the container makes when I shake it. She drops what she's got in her mouth & high-tails it to the kitchen for a Cheerio treat!

Ha Ha, that's so funny. I do the same thing with Joey. I keep them in a little tin on the counter and if he get something he's not suppose to have, I just say "treat" and he drops it for the cheerio. So much better than chasing him.
I use pennies in a tin for those times when "No" is not enough. The other day, I shook the tin and the lid came off, pennies flying everywhere. I thought I had found them all, but 3 days latter he still brings me the occasional penny in exchange for a cheerio.
