Bedtime stalling tactics

Maia seems to have discovered them. Although I'm not so sure it's to avoid bed, as she does really seem to like to go to sleep. It's so that she can get more milky. Last night she was finished with milky and Todd was putting her to sleep when she told him she needed to go potty - and she peed! She'd told us earlier in the evening too so we were pretty excited by both, especially as we've been getting a bit discouraged by her unwillingness to tell us when she needs to pee or poop. So then I gave her a bit more milky to get her back in the sleep groove. So tonight she tried that again. However, she'd had a very big pee in the tiny potty right after her bath so she didn't actually need to pee. But she definitely expected more milky. So we decided not to give her more milky which was very upsetting for her. Todd said she kept saying "want potty, tiny potty". Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow night. And then Todd leaves Monday and I'll have 5 bedtimes to do by myself. Should be awesome.
