Anne qualified as an alternate on her school's 2nd grade spelling bee team early in the fall.

I'll have to admit we didn't practice very much since Anne was an alternate. Two kids had to drop out before she could actually compete in the County Bee. January 23rd came around, two days before the Bee, Anne announced at dinner that two kids had dropped out and she would be competing. I kind of panicked, but I had no need to worry. She did great, placing fourth overall.
She did not get those spelling genes from me!
