More Independence

Friday afternoon Ken and I took Kiva to the park, where she (and we) had a great time. For the first time she really interacted with one of the other kids there...a girl probably around 4-5 years old started talking to her in the sand pit, and pretty soon they were running around all over the play area together. Kiva looked over every once in a while to make sure she knew where we were, (both of us sitting on a bench, eyes glued on our darling) but was happy running and climbing with her new pal. More independence is developing and also confidence which is great. [Joan]
