Emilee and the Bee

Well, Emilee participated in the third grade spelling bee on Friday and won! She went over her spelling words several nights in a row with me and Delon. We knew that she would do well, but we weren't expecting her to win. I think she was very surprised herself! But she has always done well in spelling and really had a good experience. Now she just waits to find out when the next competition is. Delon was able to go and watch, I couldn't make it, so he called me when it was over singing,"We are the Champion." Very strange phone call, but very good news. We are so proud of her!

Any good potty training tricks up your sleeve? Maybe I'll just send Kylie over for a few. That would be a good VT help! Tell Emilee congrats. I loved spelling bees as a child.

Hey Emilee! You rock! Did you get a trophy or something? I won the spelling bee when I was in second grade, and took third place when I was in third grade. So, I know it is exciting! Fantastic Job!
