She has an amazing attention span/concentration for art, creating complex mythological stories, building mixed media block/toy/paper,fabric, household object towerws, painting, writing in her journal, making up characters, listening to symphonies, watching epic movies... <br /><br />Which is why I was stunned when a teacher told me she was unable to "stay on task."<br /><br />Sigh. <br /><br />Thanks, beautiful brilliant muralist, for recognizing a kindred spirit.
