Be careful not to judge your kids ability for the future by how talented they are today. Bloom time is different for all kids!<br /><br />So love it your daughter is having a great time!Blue Cotton Memoryhttp://bluecottonmemory.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/a-seed-bag-water-bucket-and-harvest-basket-blessing-for-a-granddaughter/noreply@blogger.com
