There's a blank space on the top shelf--the jar of frogs fell off and broke, and now little frogs are everywhere. Okay. DH said, "Don't give it to her until she's old enough to take good care of it." I said no that I wanted her to wallow, roll, drag, whatever she wanted to do with her quilt as long as she loved it. I gave him over a year ago for his 60th birthday and he hasn't spent a night without it since. LOL Both are still looking good.
