@Bao: If my children are any judge, it's a very common stalling tactic! We ended up putting a potty in the room at night, which nipped the issue in the bud.

Totally! She's does it frequently and I still haven't found a solution. She has been trained for about 2 months now.

@Bao: if she just went, we are usually able to talk her out of it.

M has been trained for a few months and she still uses this sometimes! I start by taking her potty right after story time. That way there's a pretty good chance she does not need to. But if she asks I always take her. But if the first time there is nothing and she asks again I tell her she will lose song if she doesn't go pee. I follow through with my threat and the issue mainly resolved itself after a few nights.

Oh yes. He wouldn't go to the potty for hours at a time, but at bedtime he'd suddenly get up several times in 30 minutes to claim to use the potty. Then he'd announce there's nothing in there, delayed in putting back his pull up, washing hands..... ahhh!

I have no real solution, I kinda don't want to discourage his requests of using the potty though so I do allow him to get up and use the potty when he asked to. His bathroom is actually connected to the bedroom, so I asked him to use the potty himself. sometimes he does that but he'd have trouble putting his pull up back on so I'd go in and help him then.
