he's a speller...

This is a continuance of Bailey's parent/teacher conference. We were sitting in the conference room across the table from Bailey's teacher. She is going over his work examples from throughout the year thus far. They do assessment testing to determine the process of where your child is as far as progress. He tested above average and made his mama and daddy proud in all areas...

Spelling. I pride myself on the fact that I am a speller. :) Bailey has inherited that gift from me as well. Bryan, on the other hand is not so much of a speller. (God bless his heart) Anyways, the teacher is going over his papers and comes to his spelling assessment. They have sight words, which are the basic common words used in everyday language and then they have what they call sound words(or something to that effect). There was a list of 8 or 10 words that she would say and Bailey should write out, the actual spelling was not counted. The idea was to get the sounds right. She begins going down the list of words, and comes to the word...speach. She continues with the list and Bryan says, why did he miss the word speach? I look at him and laugh and the teacher then puts on her teacher voice and teaches Bryan the correct spelling of SPEECH!!! By this time, Bryan is laughing at himself and we are chuckling along with him.

Bryan has a lot of great attributes I admire and love, he has some great traits that I am thankful he has passed along to our children, however, I am also thankful that my spelling gene dominated his! LOL! :) Bryan is a well known facebooker and is the, what I like to call the twitterer facebooker. He has multiple status updates throughout the day. I will be in another room and I hear, "how do you spell....?" So, I yell back the correct spelling to him and that is that. I knew Bailey was me made over when one day Bryan asked, "how do you spell dinosaur?", and Bailey yells across the house...D-I-N-O-S-A-U-R. I laughed uncontrollably and have still yet to let Bryan live that one down. :) So, in the end I pride myself on being a spelling fool, while my husband, well, he is just a fool of a speller! :)

Thank you all for your time. This SPEACH was brought to you, compliments of the twittering facebook fool of a speller! :)

I love you Bryan Ray Pearson! :)
