Our little pre-writer

During our shopping spree at Barnes and Noble today, Claire discovered the journals section and was hooked. She really wanted one with Hello Kitty on it, so we made a deal: everyday while I'm putting Moo down for a nap, she'll draw a picture and write a sentence about it. She is perfectly capable of writing and, in a manner perfectly appropriate of her 4-year-old self, spelling, but her confidence for those things is really low. I'm hoping this will get her excited about writing, and so far, so good! She was so proud of herself after writing her sentence about flowers. Any guesses as to what she wrote?

Answer: "Flowers have petals and a middle."
