Copied verbatim from the paper on which she originally wrote it (after I told her I wasn’t going to sit there and spell a bunch of words for her, which is what she prefers. She’s a perfectionist).
Keep in mind she’s not yet five-and-a-half.

Apparently the lack of vehicle has started to get to her, too. Both stories she wrote with the help of my mom yesterday also dealt with the main character getting a new car.

I freak when I see the things my daughter can do nowadays. She’s been writing sentences too and it just floors me! Seems like just yesterday I was changing her diapers!

She’s quite a girl! She’s sounding things out wonderfully!! I especially like the capital S on she for the new sentence!
Good job, Madalyn!
