We think Anya will be independent. She doesn't seem to really cling to us at all. She just stomps off (or the crawling equivalent) after what ever she's interested in. Then she'll play alone for some time. I don't think Daddy will be needed much longer. In the future I can clearly hear "Dad, can I have the keys? I'm going out. What do you mean WHERE? I told you--Out. Keys please?"
I'm actively trying to build a nice little community for Anya to grow up in. I posted to the neighborhood list I made that I'd be willing to lend a hand and tools to any project in the neighborhood to help build up our social network. No one replied (not surprised). This weekend Amy and I went and volunteered to help build a play ground up the street at the park were I illegally let Laika roam free every morning. I worked out side and poor Amy got stuck watching all the other little folks left by the working parents. Apparently Anya terrorized children young and old by yelling in their faces and hijacking little cars.
The event was totally fun. I'll have to think up other ways to getting to know the other folks in the hood.
