This morning Whitney was in her school's spelling bee. Each classroom had a spelling bee and Whitney won her classroom's bee. There were 14 kids from grades 3rd-6th competing. She did really well and came in third place! She went out on falsetto by leaving out a "t". =( Chris said she got gypped because he felt like the last couple of words before that were way easier (solvent and newton). I had my work cut out calming him down. You could tell most of the kids were way nervous and I felt so nervous for them. It takes courage to stand up in front of your whole school and spell words! One thing I do know is that she will never forget how to spell falsetto! So many people have told me their spelling bee stories of how they still remember the word they misspelled. =D

Way to go Whitney! You know, I might sound dumb, but I haven't even heard the word "falsetto." I think she also got the harder word out of the 3. Good Job Whitney.

Go Whitney! I can't stand watching spelling bees! Jeran and Megan have both done them. Megan got out on purpose her first word because she was too nervous. Jeran usually places, but has to do battle with the Anderson twins every year. :-)
