BED TIME MUNIPULATION

Josy girl has ALWAYS had issues with bed time. She has been doing well getting to bed by 8:30 for the last couple of months UNTIL a few nights ago. She has been pulling out all the stops. The older she gets the more sensitive she gets. Anyway she can not stand for me to be upset with her. Usually when she is not obeying me I look at her and say "Look at mommy do you see how sad your actions are making me? I am not happy with you." Well she is a smart little firecracker and she used it against me the other night. We start her bed time routine normally around 7:30 (most nights) and it was already 8:45 and she was still not going to bed. Sophie, our cat ,was laying on the back of the couch where I was sitting and Josy said "look at that cat she is happy I am not happy Sophie gets to sleep with you!!!" UHMMMMM!! Well it was cute but it did not work. She RELUCTANTLY went to bed. Then last night she decided to try something that took me by TOTAL surprise. She was wanting to sleep with me. Darrell and I have been breaking her from this for a while. She starts out in her bed and comes to our bed around 5am. Since she will be going to Kindergaten we want her to get the rest she needs. Well anyway back to the last night scenario. She came down the stairs for like the 4th time and we told her to go back to bed. Well she continued to walk over to where I was sitting and said "I'm just going to pack all my toys and go back to China." Needless to say I was SHOCKED. Where was this coming from? She has been talking a lot about her looking different than mommy. We talk very openly with her about how God made us a family. So I felt certain that she was just pulling my strings. I gently told her that she could not go to China and live because we love her and we would miss her tooo much. I gave her a kiss and a hug!!!! She seemed happy and I changed the subject about how she had to go to sleep if she wanted to "work" with mommy tomorrow. I think she is munipulating her mommy at a young age, don't you? Well this mommy wasn't born yesterday!! LOL!!!
