Ben has asked to participate in the Valley View Elementary School Spelling Bee held on February 6th. They take the top spellers from each grade. Ben insisted that he was not participating, and I insisted that he was. Needless to say, I went to the Spelling Bee not knowing whether or not he would be there. I was very proud of him for not only showing up, but taking 3rd place and moving on to Davis County Semi-Final Spelling Bee.
The Davis County Semi-Final Spelling Bee, happened to be the same night as the Ute's were playing Stephen F. Austin in the NCAA Tournament. If you thought it was difficult to get Ben to participate in the Spelling Bee a month ago, imagine what it was like trying to get him to go with a great basketball game in progress.
Thank heavens for technology! We were able to stream it live at Woods Cross High School, (where the Spelling Bee was being held), on our cell phone. We gave updates to those parents sitting around us (maybe just Dad's) that had to leave the game for the Spelling Bee.
I'm so proud of Ben! He is such a great speller!
