Jessica has hijacked the blog today for a little braggin' on her first born!

The past couple weeks have been incredibly busy at our house. Emma has had dance competitions for the past two weekends and done incredibly well. During all that she has also managed to qualify for the school Spelling Bee. Monday she had to challenge the grade 4 spelling test and get 100% to qualify. She did it, getting all 25 words right. It was very hard and a lot of work for both of us. Today she got up there and did her best. She was out in the second round from a word she's never done (cerise) and was devastated but I'm so proud I can't even tell ya! In all the classes, grades 1-6, there were only 10 kids that made it. Out of the 3 grade 2 classes, only Emma and another boy from her class made it. It is also Emma's first time spelling aloud and was done in front of all the French students in the school. Did I mention she got a gold and first place out of 82 solo entries at Dance Power? It included a dance intensive scholarship, a cheque for $100 and a trophy. Did I mention it's the second year in a row she's grabbed that title? Last year there were 92 solos in her division. Did I mention that she got a gold, a trophy for Outstanding Performer and a $50 cheque at Dance Invasion? Do I sound proud???
**** Emma I am really proud of you and am so thrilled to hear of your accomplishments. I'm so glad your mom wanted to share them all with us. I love you, Anti.

Yes Emma, you truly are incredible! We watch and listen in awe as you execute things that are way above your age level. It is wonderful to watch you on stage as you love it up there and are truly at your most natural. We love how you go over and over your homework because you want to do so well. Your mom has every right to be proud. She works hard with you to help you to the next level but at the end of the day, you have to do it on your own as she can't be there prompting you. We look forward to seeing you again when you perform in Lethbridge in a couple of weeks. So proud of how well you challenged those Grade 4 students. Good for you for having the confidence to even try it out. Just remember to always have fun with whatever you choose to do, that's the key. We love you, are so proud of you and want you to be as happy as you possibly can be.
