I know it is just a phase and will hopefully come to an end, but Paige is using "Pee on potty!" as a major delay/stalling tactic. When she doesn't want to nap and wants to be taken out of her crib it's, "pee on potty!!". When she wakes up in the night and needs to say something to get me into her room it's "pee on potty!!" (usually with this one it's because she's peed in her pullup...even though she has already peed I need to take her to the potty or she will lose it). When I try to go get clothes out of the laundry and she wants me to come back it's, "pee on potty!!". During dinner when she wants out of her highchair it's, "pee on potty!!", and when she's overtired at night and trying to delay bedtime it's a spastic almost hyperventallating "PEE ON POTTY PEE ON POTTY!!!!!!!" (she used to ask for water as a stall, but she thinks this is better as she gets out of her crib). Oh--same spastic screaming about the potty when I'm trying to put her in the bath...she doesn't like baths now, and won't actually go in the bathtub without a fight. Also, when we're at the grocery store and she's bored it's, "pee on potty" to try to get us to leave.
It is the same as the little boy who cried wolf. Sometimes she says it so much that I tell her no when she really has to go. And often she has just been, but I have to take her anyway to avoid a total meltdown.

This too shall pass. I know that you have already discovered that everything new DEMANDS attention. The next newest "thing" will be the trip to Edmonton. Put the emphasis on showing Grandma and Booze that she is a big girl and wears big girl panties. Soon she will be "going by herself". Just be happy that you will be all past this by Christmas. haha Love Gramama x0x0x
