Fourth Birthday Interview With Coo

Coo, our little sweetpea, is four!  Her birthday interview this year was so much fun to do.  We had finished our Flower Fairies birthday tea, shared with family and friends, and she'd had her face painted by her "sister Hannah".  It was time to retire upstairs and read her "new" [used from Amazon] Jamela books and put on her "new" nightgown. [created from an old duvet cover, dyed and sewed up by me late one night last week] When she was feeling tired and cuddling her feelie blanket, we tried to do her birthday interview but she was just too exhausted!  It had to wait until this morning, after her rather late breakfast of leftover strawberry shortcake and rice milk.
