Prize: Everyone will FINALLY know who we are and... a dinky candle.

(except that no one still knows who we are)

Back to School

If someone would've told me that I would be teaching my 5th year of Preschool (and even starting to get used to being called a teacher), even two years ago I wouldn't have believed them. Yet here I am. I think I'm still enjoying it. For the most part I do. I could do without the whining from moms all day or the crying when I make a child do something they should already know how to do, or the standing and peeing all over the floor, or the hands in the pants when there is poop in there, or the bus that shows up 30 min late. So I know what most of you are saying, this is what moms do everyday. Okay, I agree, try 12 kids doing anyone of these randomly throughout the day. What I can't do without: having them finally put a piece of food in their mouths (after a week and a half of school) by THEMSELVES, remembering how to walk in a line, peeing in the toilet, better yet pooping in the toilet, remembering my name, the faces they make, the funny things they say, and just how super cute they are just to look at. I wish I could post pictures just to show you what I mean.

(Jamon got up early to take my first day of school picture)

So here's to another year of stress and fun, most likely FUN!
