Bee, thank yew! He has always had incredible fine-motor control - don't know about the banjo, though!**bg** I have encouraged a lot of what I think nurtures his natural abilities. We have art fun several times per week, as well as music going on most times. Most of all he and I play at seeing things differently...clouds as blankets, faces in trees,grandma being a variety of characters as he does also, anything fanciful which gives him a different perspective on the world and nurtures his creative imagination.
