Power Struggle

We had the battle of wills with Femi tonight. He has been really picky with his eating lately, and then he got sick and had no appetite at all. Now that he is better he is still refusing to eat unless it is something he wants when he wants it. Well I had enough tonight and made him sit at the dinner table for about an hour until he ate his dinner. Then we were taking a bath and he kept tooting and I asked him if he needed to potty and he said no. Well about a minute later I saw turds in the bath. Can we say YUCK! I had to yank Deji out of the water, and I made Femi sit on the potty even though he kept saying he was done. I probably messed up as a parent doing that, but I really didn't care. I know that he knew better, but he chose to poop in the bath. And the other night Ryan was getting ready to put on his Jammies and he peeped on himself and Ryan. That is what babies do! So I know he knows better, but he is just testing us. And on top of it all we put him to bed at 7:45 and at 9:00 he was still up. Can we say power struggle. Well he needs to know that mommy rules the house and no two year old is going to take over.
