Miracles that occur every day in preschool:

... a small hand that pats your back while you read a book ...

... foam triangles that are waves one minute, and the next, they are airplanes ...

... salami that is so good, it makes your eyes roll back into your head ...

...

what miracles do you bear witness to on a daily basis??
