Dear Nora,
Yesterday I was holding you and when I put you down, you grabbed my necklace and accidentally broke it. I was pretty disappointed, but didn't say anything to you about it or get on to you. A few minutes later though, you walked up to me and said, "Mommy, I'm so sorry I broke your necklace. I didn't mean to." I gave you a big hug and said it was just fine and thanked you for saying that. It was so sweet that you knew you had done it and felt badly, even though I hadn't said anything to you about it. I'm so proud of you.
Love,
Mommy
