Little White Lie...

Well, it's happened. We had our first "little white lie" tonight with Cy. He was watching Dora The Explorer and wanted to watch one more episode. I told him "no" and to go in his playroom or his bedroom and play or read books until dinner was ready. So, he went to Brad and told him that I said it was ok for him to watch one more show! I was shocked. It is amazing to witness human nature as it is developing. Brad and I took him to his room and had a talk about truth vs. lies and how we don't lie in this family about anything. And, we told him that although he was not in trouble this time, he would not be watching anymore t.v. tonight. He said he was sorry and didn't want to tell lies. Melted my heart. These heart to heart talks that are going to be coming more frequently now (I'm sure) are so sweet and innocent at this age...I just pray that we handle situations like this the right way as we are just pretending that we know what we're doing each time a new situation comes up.
