Our Charlie is almost 4 years old. She will be 4 by just a few days when we travel to get her. We know very little about Charlie except that she has some sort of vision impairment (cataract of one or maybe both eyes?). We won't know for sure until we get her.
According to the nannies she likes to play games with her friends.
And there you have it. Our extensive knowledge on Charlie. I can't WAIT to figure what she REALLY likes (and doesn't like).
