Update, u-p-d-a-t-e, update

Yesterday was the final spell off with both 4th grade classes at Gaby's school. She was the 3rd best speller out of the whole 4th grade, and the best girl speller! Unfortunately they are only taking 2 kids to the district spelling bee. Apparently there was some miscommunication the previous night when I was told (by my favorite 9-year-old) 4 or 5 kids were going. If that were the case, or if they even took 3, or 1 boy and 1 girl, she would be going. Sadly that's not the case. I think she's a little disappointed, but I think she did fabulous, and now she has something to work towards for next year!
