Miss Independent


Should I be worried?


Allison is becoming more independent every day.  She often entertains herself for lengthy periods of time, she wants to feed herself, dress herself and groom herself.   Recently she has discovered that by being resourceful and creative, there is really very little that she can't physically reach and/or do.  When she sets her mind to it, she will locate her stool (or use another object in place of her stool), carry it to a new location, use it to position her body high enough to climb on top of another object (i.e. furniture) that becomes just another step towards her intended object of desire, which is usually something on top of the counter.  This girl is focused.  She is determined.  She can climb.  She is brave and resourceful, sneaky and defiant.  We need to find her an appropriate outlet for this...any ideas?
