Spelling Bee

Misi and Ami were both chosen to be "class representatives" in the spelling bee at their school. In true fashion Misi wanted to study his words and a few minutes before bedtime Ami asked Misi if he happened to being home a 5th grade spelling list so that he (Ami) could study. The next day when the kids came home Ami held up his first place ribbon and said "mom, I won" I replied "oh cool, Ami" and he said "no mom, I won the whole thing...first place in the whole school" (I thought he had won 1st out of all of the 5th graders) Misi had misspelled a word along the way, but was excited because he had gotten a certificate:) By winning his school spelling bee, Ami got to go to the district spelling bee. Which was at a school that was from k-8th grade. There were only 10 participants, but Ami and another boy were the only ones that weren't 8th graders. He made it through 4 rounds and then misspelled hundredth (left out a d) Ami ended up getting 3rd place and was pretty excited to get an actual medal:) and we were pretty proud of him!!

I asked him if wanted me to come watch him and he said it might be too much pressure. I debated over and over again, and we ended up going. I'm glad we did. (Mana begged me to wear this headband, probably shouldn't have though!! Lol)
