She does listen

On the weekend we had our first incident of Sydney biting Jason. When I asked her if she bit him, she said "no". I knew she had & asked her again, also telling her that if she wasn't telling the truth that meant she was lying and that was a bad thing to do. She still denied biting him but when I showed her the teeth marks on Jason's finger, she immediately fessed up to her crime. Apparently Jason wouldn't kiss her, so she bit him. I don't think she was trying to be mean to him, I think she just was testing for a reaction- well she got one.

I am not sure if this incident will be the end to her lying. But I do know that she did hear my lesson about telling the truth because this is a phrase she has used a few times in the last couple of days. Yesterday when we were at Grandma & Papa's she was telling her Grandma something & I heard her tell Dale, "that's the truth Grandma!".
