Being independent

Ewan's independence is of key importance to us. During his first year we watched his independent spirit flourish and have loved watching him explore during independent play time. Don't get me wrong, he likes to know we are nearby, but loves babbling and dancing and playing all on his own.

A speaker at a sorority convention I attended years ago said it best, "saddle your own horse." While we want Ewan to develop meaningful relationships we also want him to explore and navigate the world alone, knowing that he can and will do anything he wants.
