Another District Olympiad

Not only did this darling boy take third place today at the school district Science and Math Olympiad
in Krypto, but he also saw his fourth grade teacher (truly one of our favorite humans ever), after not
seeing her this past year because she became a district math coach back in the fall. Not sure which
one Nate was more excited about, but both of them together made for a really wonderful morning.

Love this boy and his brilliant mind a whole lot. And feel so thankful I got to watch him compete and
then witness his excitement when they announced that he and his partner had taken third place, out of
many dozen fifth graders participating in Krypto, from more than twenty elementary schools in the area.

I don't know of much better than seeing your boy push himself so hard mentally
and then experience that much joy. I just really love being a mom.

Especially Nate Allen's mom.
