We couldn't afford one and since Grammy died, she wasn't going to find one at a garage sale for him like his cousins. So a few days later we emptied a big box of oatmeal - and I remembered a craft I'd seen ... so he made his OWN drum. He loves it. Yesterday he told me, "Now it needs a strap to go round my neck." Kendra plans to either crochet or knit him a yellow strap to attatch to his yellow drum. He's very excited. And he's a very careful little fellow, so if no cousins jump on it, his drum should last quite a long time. He's had a sun mask now for 6 months that we made with a paper plate. He runs around singing "Mr. Golden Sun" with it. My 4yo son, Joel, wanted a drum just like his cousins next door.
