Must be doing something right

Yesterday, after nap, I asked Chelsi if she folded her blankie back up since she got out of bed on her own.  She said yes.  I asked her again and she said yes again.  I then said "Chelsi are you lying to me"...to which she said "yes".  :)  So I went in her room and asked her to fold it.  Not a big deal, we just want them to get used to doing little things the best they can.  They all have little chores after they turn 3.  This is hers. 

I left her room and went to my room to get ready to go somewhere.  She comes in and says "mommy, I'm sorry.  I lied to you in the living room and I folded my blanket now."  A couple of seconds later she was still apologizing for lying.  She was serious.  I thought for sure her dad had sent her in to do that, but he hadn't.  She knew she was wrong to lie.  At age 3...she knew she was wrong to lie.  What a great girl!
