Aubrey participated in the third annual Lutheran Spelling Bee this past Monday. We spent a lot of time practicing the past week reviewing both the third and fourth grade list of words that were sent home with her. By the time the bee came, she felt prepared. She was nervous, but excited. All of the kids there did great and went several rounds before missing any words. They got down to four children and Aubrey got the word shining, but she thought the judge said shiny. She spelled shiny correctly so the judges repeated the word shining and asked her to spell it. She got flustered and spelled it with a "y" and got out, just missing third place which would have given her a trophy. We were so proud of her, but I know she was disappointed. She got fourth place last year too. The crazy thing is shining was one of the words we practiced and she never had a problem with it.
