CR participated in class spelling bee a week ago and got 2nd place. He lost on the word "liverwurst". The top 3 from the class got to go to the School competition.
Then on Friday he competed against 4th-6th graders. He got some challenging words and it seemed like I was more nervous than he was. But he WON! We were surprised! Not that we thought he couldn't do it. We just thought the competition would be stiffer (he's a 4th grader after all!) We were so happy for him. Now he gets to go to the semi-finals and compete with half of the district. I hope I can handle it. I know he'll do great!
