What are you made of...

It was one of those days that asked the question, "what are you made of,..." I run a small montessori school in my home with a 6 month old infant. By most standards it is challenging work but oh so rewarding and I have a wonderful assistant that allows me to feel some breathing room but today I would be tested, my unfortunate assistant had contracted a dreaded stomach bug from one of the children and would not be able to come. Since I was already one child short my numbers would be low, another absence would be reported and the decision confirmed that I could/should be able to manage the day by myself. What could 3 small toddlers and 1 infant do that I couldn't handle????
