While crawling into bed last night, I found this note tucked
carefully under my blanket. Don't tell Charlotte, but my first reaction
was a big smile. Charm and cuteness go a long way toward absolution. In
this case, I consider the necklace somewhat improved by the note it is
taped to.
I may not be teaching Charlotte to keep her hands off my jewelry, but
she is learning some honesty to go with her mischievous fiddling.
That's something, at least.
so cute!!!!
That is my best laugh for the day I’m sure! She sure used lots of tape. I love the fact that her hand drooped as she was overcome with the weariness and anguish of prison life.
Honesty is huge! Charlotte sounds lovely. I love the detail she gave in how she broke the necklace.
Oh gosh, that is darling. Yep, I would be quick to forgive and have a huge smile. I especially love her exclamation point at the end of her note. You know she was so surprised it broke!
That’s one for a scrap book for sure. That is a sweet note. Hard not to forgive such an honest letter. 🙂
So sweet. Honesty is far more important than necklaces, in my book. What an amazing job you are doing with your children. I’m inspired by you on so many levels!
Happy Thanksgiving!
♥ such a treasure of an apology letter!
Wll I suppose the end of the story should read that a little girl who feels realy safe in her mother’s love is likely to speak the truth. Congratulations Mom. Love Crazy Grandma
We’re working hard to teach the kidlets that honesty, even when they think they’ll get in trouble, is better than lying to avoid the potential trouble.
It is pretty darn cute.
Super sweet and thanks for sharing. I hope Charlotte gets a note under her pillow from you that she’ll keep forever too! Happy Thanksgiving!
She pretended it was a person! Ha, my child used to do that too. I love your daughter. Mine would gather all sorts of costume jewelry and play “jewelry friends” as if each piece was its own person. So strange, and yet here your child is doing the same thing. Creative little people!
Good for you, Heather and good for Miss Charlotte too. To own up is huge because it shows she trusts you to be fair and understanding. Well done. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Isaac and all your kids.
Love,
Aunt Muff

This is so sweet.
How totally sweet of your daughter to write such a lovely honest note. Bet she got a big kiss the next morning, how on earth can you stay cross at that…..x
I love this, what a sweet girl.
awww you should frame this!!
That is precious! I could not be mad about such a sweet, sincere apology. I especially love that she tucked it under the blanket. Nice job Charlotte!
That is the sweetest thing!
