Today was Skylee's spelling bee. About a week ago she had a preliminary round and got first place, tying with her friend Dylan. She was insistent that that was the final spelling bee but to her dismay they still had another round. We studied quite a bit and did our best to prepare. The thing she was most excited about was because she was a finalist she got a medal and a marker (she got to keep her dry erase one), I think the marker won out on all. But the first, second and third place winners got trophies. She did awesome at the spelling bee and made it down to four students before she missed the word 'serve' spelling it 'surve'. One spot away from a trophy but she was a champ and swallowed the tears down and rooted on her classmates and Dylan won! We were so excited for him. It was tough to not get the trophies but fourth out of her whole class isn't too bad either. I think it was a great life's lesson as well.
Skylee drew this a few days ago. I thought it was cute.
