5 years old – Little C did her drums well

August 17, 2017 // 0 Comments

Three weeks ago, I added some twist for little C (5yo) to challenge her ability on drums . At first she was worry of making mistakes. But hey, less than 15mins she actually pulled if off so well.

I picked a year at random and ended up with 1996. Instantly, I’m transported back to my high school days… yes, I was in high school in 1996, and all the memories of what I was doing when I was listening to these songs came rushing back!
