Last Friday, Matt participated in his first ever Spelling Bee.
We practiced a few weeks prior to the bee. Sadly, Matt got stumped in the preliminary rounds by the word whisper. We were proud of his effort but even more proud when we heard that he had no negative reaction when he was told he was "out". As a matter of fact when he came back to the room where I was waiting with the other parents, he told me he didn't make it because the word whisper gave him trouble but "that's okay". It was like he was letting me down gently that he wasn't going to the final rounds.
Ironically, this week's spelling words include the word whisper.
I took this picture prior to the bee starting ..... Matt was being a little goofy while waiting, no surprise there!!
