February 21st


Well now THIS is more like it. We had a much better Spelling Bee tonight at Cowherd Middle School here in Aurora. They were definitely calling words from the right list. The dictionary they were using was not quite up to par, but don't let me get started on that! Jack lasted 19 rounds and got stumped on ERRAND which he mis-heard and didn't ask for it to be used in a sentence. The final outcome was a 3rd place victory for my little man...and we are just on cloud 9 here at the Russell home. All 12 participants got a medal and a framed certificate, and the top 3 each got a trophy, as well. In addition to his mom & sisters, Jack's buddy Keith came along to cheer him on and his teacher and the assistant principal were there, too. Way to go, Jack!
