So we have been working on Grace eating her lunch better at school. This is the kid who is completely satisfied to have spinach leave and ranch for a snack so I know she like the food but it's school and there are about 15 other distractions also trying to eat their lunch or not. So today when asked if she had eaten her lunch her response was " I ate all my peas." to which I responded good what else did you have for lunch. By the time she finished telling me she had claimed to have eaten all her peas, and her sandwich, and her apple.
The following is a conversation between her and her father at bedtime.
" Daddy can I tell you something?'
"Sure, what is it."
" I lied about eating my vegetables."
"You lied about eating your vegetables? Well you know that's not good?"
"Well I forgot."
"Grace did you forget or were you lying?"
"I lied."
"Well you know that lying is not a good thing to do and it means that you aren't behaving and doing what you are supposed to?"
"Yes"
" And you know, who is watching right?'
"God, and Jesus, and Santa Claus. Those are the big three."
Good night Gracie.
