Matt's preschool had an Easter party on Wednesday. I am in constant awe of preschool teachers everywhere: if you don't believe in miracles, consider the following:Twenty three 3-4 year old children, hyped on candy and rumors of a visiting Easter Bunny, jostling at the door to the preschool courtyard. The children are supposed to hunt for an egg, take only that egg, and then line up again.
If you have a three or four year old, this is an amazing feat when huge amounts of high fructose corn sugar aren't involved. Add in the promise of neon-colored jelly beans, and maintaining order is a miracle.
The preschool teachers did just that- organized the kids, and had them lined back up with their eggs in about 5 minutes. They walked back to their classroom in a line, and waited to open their candy-filled eggs until after class. They were actually civilized.Preschool teachers everywhere: You are amazing. If someone handed me 23 sugar-laden three year old children, I'd be heading for the hills. You manage to take those

Yet another reason why I could NEVER be a teacher.
They continue to amaze me!
