Oh, the manipulation of a 2 year old

G usually goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00. Sometimes she talks herself to sleep and other times she just crashes. Well tonight at around 8:00, she had been in bed talking when she started saying, "Mommy, mommy." I ignored it at first because there was no crying involved. She started getting progressively louder. Then she started saying, "Mommy, I have a booger." I went up there expecting to find a booger, but found none. Then she told me it was in her nose. I turned on the light and looked. No booger. I even suctioned her nose with a nose syringe. No booger. I turned back off the light and was proceeding to tuck her in again. Then she said, "Mommy, I have to go sit on the potty." I wasn't going to argue with that or deny her because she has never gone on the potty and she has only sat on the potty maybe 5 or 6 times in the past month. So of course I sat her on the potty. We sat, and sat, and sat. All the time she was talking away about this and that. We sat some more. I finally had to give her a 2 minute countdown. She never did go on the potty - big surprise here, but she sure did manipulate me into not going to bed and being with Mommy. What a little stinker!
