And this is a kid with low tone and weak hands! :)<br><br>Louise Kinrosshttp://bloom-parentingkidswithdisabilities.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959253662881047710.post-89530626991644301212010-08-18T12:19:28.000-05:002010-08-18T12:19:28.000-05:00Thank you for this post.
