Undone by the word "humility" in the 4th round, D-man's first spelling bee is over. He was very worried about his performance. But, we were so proud of him for trying. This was a great opportunity to try something new and learn the lesson of slowing down. We practiced this week and were able to talk about how practicing made him better. We were very thankful (Nana, Pop, and I were able to attend) that he wasn't the first one out and had 3 rounds of success. Whew!
For someone that is good at most things he tries, this was a great opportunity to step outside his comfort zone and learn that you won't always finish first, but is important to try.
