I haven't posted any good tips for my fellow babies (now toddlers) lately. Here are two gems that work well for me:
1) When you can't get your mom to give you what you want for dinner, consider the Hunger Strike. I have learned that political prisoners often use it to make a point and it has been effective in obtaining better food for me. Moms freak out when you don't eat anything and pretty soon, they find the cookies that they said you couldn't have.
2) If you are restricted on television/DVD viewing, strike a deal. It goes something like this: I realize you didn't get much sleep last night Mom and if you pop in a DVD for me, I won't tell that you left me alone while you went back to sleep for an hour.

I think my parents might as well be Communist Dictators when it comes to hunger strikes. They just shrug their shoulders and go on eating.
*BUT* I've discovered my mom has a weird fascination with the toilet. Gross, I know. But I can use it to get cookies out of her without finishing my spaghetti. You just have to know your own parents' buttons to push, I guess.
