Ok, you ready to get started? (Redundant question since she has been asking when we are going to do this for the last two hours. She has set up an interview couch made out of dining room table chairs and all her best blankets for her to sit on. She has been sitting there waiting for me for ten minutes. Needless to say, she liked the idea.)
