Ivy's Independence a.k.a. photo post!

Both of Ivy's parents have asked me if I think that she is too independent. 
And it seems odd to me that they would even worry.
I find Ivy to be very curious about her world and agreeable.
She is determined and engaged.
She is also generally easy-going and tolerant. 
She'll try new things and fully enjoy them.
In addition to doing things she already knows in new places.
She can entertain herself but never refuses being engaged by an adult or child that she loves.
I love that new textures intrigue her.
Even the ones she later realizes are a bit too intense.
I think that she is willing to try so many new things because she feels safe and loved and taken care of. She enjoys snuggling and kisses and love more than a lot of the kiddies I've cared for. And when she finds a soft toy that she loves, 
she loves it - 
100%!
