3rd Grade Spelling BeeMillie worked her tail off prepping for the 3rd grade spelling bee this year and I was bound and determined to go since I accidentally missed it last year and she won last year. I knew it was important to her that I go. In the end, she went out on an easy word that I know she knows and she knows she knows – the word was threw and she spelled throw. It was just a goofy mistake, but one that devastated her. I could see the disappointment well up in her eyes and color her cheeks and my heart just wanted to whisk her out of the room and save her from a future of disappointing spelling bees. When the round ended she walked over to the other side of the room and I…waited. Unsure if she needed to be alone or needed a shoulder. None of the other moms were there and none of the other kids seemed to be taking defeat personally. Nope, that’s a trait reserved for a special few…ahem.

Five minutes later, though, I scooted my way over to her and just popped my arm around her. I whispered to her that I knew she could spell threw and many other much more difficult words and this moment in time would pass and not mean much later. I told her I was proud of her for working so hard to prepare and that she was a spelling champ in my book. I then asked if I was embarrassing her by sitting there. She said no, so I just stayed put and together we watched the rest of the spelling bee.

May 14, 2013

We’re having a cook-out tomorrow night for our weekly small group as this will be our last meeting together before we break for the summer.

May 11: My Six Kids

May 11, 2013

We took the boys to an Oklahoma City RedHawks game tonight. True, it was no Cardinals game, but it was still baseball. They lasted through the middle of the 7th inning and particularly enjoyed their new hats and yelling, “GO REDHAWKS” at the top of their lungs every time a batter took a swing. Didn’t [...]
