My wife is awsome and my daughter, lets call her Peanut, isnt even two yet - but she loves to play her drums ; her own cool little drum kit that her Aunt Shelly got her from craig's list. She has a piano too. I really want you to check out AuthorsBookshop.com because you need to know what it's about to know where all of my time goes these days.
