One day Harmony came home from school and very casually said, "Mom I am the finalist in my class for the spelling bee."
She was very excited. I asked her when it was so I could be there. Once again she was very casual and just shrugged.
A couple of days later, while dropping Ivan off, one of the other Mom's mentioned attending the spelling bee. I asked her what time and made sure I was there. Ben was also able to come for a little while.
I swear I have never been more nervous for her! She made it through 3 rounds and then was one of the 12 finalists. They had to continue on to get the top 10. Harmony got out the very next round.
She started walking over to me and just burst into tears. She was so upset. She kept insisting that she spelled it right. Unfortunatley, she didn't.
I am really proud of her. The 5th grade in their school is huge. There are over 100 students. So to come in 12th was really good.
I can't wait to see if she competes next year!
