Sunday we went to Rose's Berry Farm to have breakfast and then pick raspberries. LB came along so it was kind cool that each of the girls got some 1/1 time. We ate more raspberries than we brought home. It was a really nice day and we all had a lot of fun!
I'm noticing the girls (especially Hannah) becoming more aware that they can 'lie' to get things. For example: The girls get mints after going potty at Pete's moms house. When we came home today Hannah said to me "I didn't get any mints at Grandma's so I need a prize now please." Hmmm...
They're also good for saying that "Daddy said we can _______" or "Mommy said we can__________" when in reality neither one of us had even been asked anything. I know this is just the start of a very trying time and very fine line. I know they're exploring and I have to give them space. But at the same time I don't want them to think it's ok to lie. Right now I'm just explaining to them what they're doing. "Hannah - I know you had mints at Grandma's house today. If you say you didn't - when you really did, that's called lying and we don't do that. Did you have a mint today?" "Yes." "Great! Thanks for telling mommy the truth." Hindsight I probably should have given her a prize anyway but I didn't. I don't know why - I think she sidetracked me with something else lol.
And today's funny comment is (per usual) from Emily. After getting home from being at Pete's parents - I asked Emily where her attitude came from (she was just being miserable). She replied:
"I just forgot to leave my attitude at Grandma's house."
