Coco is a very playful 4 year old, so I'm starting out with her. She cracks me up with how wild she can get when she's playing.

Raleigh at 11 plays less than Coco; at times I've called her play challenged. However, it is a joy to see her let loose and play like a kitten, which she still does at times (maybe more so now that she sees Coco having so much fun).
