Oh, no! The dreaded lying stage! Yeah, they all go through it! It seems to be part "test" and part "lack of self-esteem". Just keep letting them know that it is not acceptable and be sure to let them know that YOU know they are lying and punish them accordingly. If the lying is connected to having done something else wrong, make sure you punish for both - seperately - and explain why.
