The YOUNG and the Restless

Layla: So Deuce...since you think you're so smart, How many countries are in the United States?!?

Isley won her class spelling bee. Then she won her school spelling bee!! She was invited to participate in the county spelling bee with the winner moving on to state. It was a total of 32 kids. She got out in the second round on the word alleviate (she forgot an L), but we are so proud of her. For those of you who know how shy she is, this was huge! I know if she had more practice and better help she would have totally won. Here is an example of the awesome help she received from her mom:

Mom: schnecke

Isley: Are you pronouncing that right?

Mom: probably not, now spell it...

Isley: Country of Origin?

Mom: German

Isley: Can you use it in a sentence?

Mom: Nope!

Isley: CAN YOU SPELL IT!?
