Small children go thru a phase where they try to control their own lives. One of the things they do is say no to things you want them to do, and fuss if you don't let them do something, even if they don't really want to do it.
Another example tonight was teatime when she said she was hungry, and when I told her I was making tea, she said she wasn't hungry.

Yup - that always works. When they don't have to go, when it's not something anyone wants kids to do, they want to do it.
My nephew sulked in the corner of a sofa once having been told he had to come with mum to see me off to the station. I went to say goodbye to him and he asked
"Do I have to come?"
me- " No, of course you don't."
"Oh I'll come then."
I get the feeling it's a deja vu, don't you

LOL - it is so familiar. Been here with the other two. I hope hers doesn't last any longer than theirs did.
