My three-year-old is naturally inquisitive. She often asks me why or how or what to nearly every thing I do. But recently, she's added a new level of questioning, and I'm not sure if I should be taking it personally. She has begun to ask if I'm telling the truth. As in, "did you really fill up my orange juice glass? Let me see," and she picks up the cup to check. Or, "did you really buy me apples?" as she checks every bag on the counter.
Now, I have never lied to my child, so I'm guessing she's not really double-checking my honesty. It's probably more of a grasping of truth and promises. She talks about lying a lot lately (due to a situation not too long ago.. or pinnochio.) She's just trying to figure it out. I know that. But I'm still taken aback every time she questions me, but I'm sure this is just the start to all of that fun to come.
