Spelling Bee

Lauren came home very excited today. She is the first runner up for the spelling bee. Which basically means she's the understudy for the kid going to the spelling bee. So if her friend is absent, Lauren fills in. If they go to state and the friend can't make it Lauren fills in. She was very excited. It was nice to see her happy about something for school. It's very hard to keep her excited about school. She's a good student but she usually doesn't show much enthusiasm for school. Now I don't know what the chances are of her actually getting to participate in the spelling bee but I think that's pretty cool no matter.
