Tattle-taling

My 3 year old son, just came into the room saying "Elizabeth hit me" in about the whiniest voice he can muster. Now, I do believe him, but I also know the she probably was instigated in some way to do it. So, I asked him why. Of course, he had NO idea. I asked him what he had done. No idea. I asked him if HE had hit her first......this sheepish grin slowly forms on his face and he shakes his head "yes." I explained that no one should be hitting, but shucks - it is near impossible to get mad at such a face! One of these days, he will probably gain the ability to lie about such an event, but I am so thankful for this time. He is a bit more innocent and I love that!!!
