So proud of Elliott today! He came home a little before Christmas saying that he had won the spelling bee in his class, and today he competed in the school-wide spelling bee.
We had been practicing the word list that his teacher sent home for days (I thoroughly enjoyed this because I love all things about spelling/grammar, etc. - much to Brian's relief, I'm sure). He was a little nervous for today, not knowing exactly what to expect and wanting to do well. He handled it really well, took his time and asked for repetitions, sentences, etc. And I was so impressed with his and the other kids' character in encouraging each other with silent thumbs up and whispered "good job"s throughout the competition - so great to see that selflessness.
He came in 3rd place today and was very happy with the accomplishment. He was pretty proud when telling Ethan that his name was read over the loudspeaker at the end of the day along with the 1st and 2nd place winners, too!
So proud of you E!!!
