I agree that letting a child make their own decision about Confirmation is important, since that's what Confirmation is about, saying that you are consciously making the choice to be a full member of your faith. I'm pretty sure Two will chose not to be Confirmed, but I don't know yet about MiniPlu. It's tough to let kids make their own way, isn't it?
And she can always come back if/when she's ready. Remind her that even Mother Teresa struggled with belief for huge periods in her life.
Are there any neighbors who attend your church, or other "regulars" you could make a routine habit to sit with each week?
