Why is this necessary...in the middle of the night?!!
So, I awoke last night to the faint sounds of little Megan saying, "....potty". I immediately jump out of bed when I hear the word "potty" because I do not like cleaning up pee in the middle of the night. Usually if Megan needs to go in the middle of the night, she goes into the bathroom and lets me know and I help her hold up her gown. She hasn't quite mastered holding the gown, getting on the potty, grabbing toilet paper, tearing toilet paper and wiping, all while holding her gown....So I help her do this.
Last night, I walk in the bathroom to find her with her panties off and her gown up standing next the potty, refusing to sit on the toilet. Keep in mind, she can't hear so everything is done by hand signals or me physically doing something. So I physically put her on the potty, which she wouldn't do, as seen by her bucking her legs back and forth. So I start to put her panties back on. This was all met by much combating on her part. She was purely manipulating me at who knows what time in the middle of the night. I had no clue how to handle this one. I was barely awake and was trying not to let the screams wake up Noah. I tried to put her CI on, to no avail. I left the bathroom and shut the door. Nope. Didn't want that either. I put her in her room and shut the door with her panties to put on. Nope. That wasn't it. Somehow we made it back to the bathroom on the toilet, where I think she finally gave in. I finally was able to put her CI on during her weakness of giving in and told her I was NOT going to play her game in the middle of the night. After she was done, she simply put her panties back on, I picked her up and put her back in bed. That was it...as if nothing had happened. WHAT!!??? ARE YOU SERIOUS???!!!! WAS I JUST MANIPULATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT????!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
I would have loved to just have ignored her and stuck her back in bed or in her room, but I wouldn't have wanted to change her sheets in the morning...
On a separate note: A bit of praise does go to Megan for asking to put her CI on after her bath last night! Another awesome ear moment!
