A Major Award

I took a couple of school function hours today to see Lily receive a major award at school.  She was the "Koalaty Mathematician."  It was tough for Amanda to get close enough for a good photo, but here you can see her standing up in front of the assembly with her certificate.  We knew that this was coming, but kept it a secret from her.  She looked genuinely surprised, but she also looked very hopeful when they started announcing the names.

Of course, as the dad who plays blackjack with his little mathematician, I couldn't be any more proud.  We plan to use her Mimi's Cafe gift certificate tonight to celebrate.  I would be shocked if Lily did not get pancakes.
