Drew came off the bus yesterday just absolutely beaming. He looked right at me and said: “Dad…you’re not going to believe this. I’m in the finals of the spelling bee!” Before we left for Mexico we learned that he was going to compete in the semi-finals, but we’d heard that the word “colossal” had eliminated him from moving on.
Well, I guess he made it far enough in the competition to be one of only two second graders who are in the finals! We’re very proud of him and, yes, we’ll be some of “those parents” on Friday. You know, the kind who are there with the camcorder and digital cameras trying to get 78 photos of their kid as they attempt to spell “courage.” That will be us.
And while we’re on the topic of spelling bees, if you still haven’t seen the movie Spellbound, you absolutely most go out and rent it or check it out from your local library. That’s an order. I mean it. It’s an excellent movie.
