Ivy MacLean was born with a drive unlike any other. From the moment she could toddle, she followed her older brother, Theodore, mimicking his every move and always eager to help. Their mother, Winifred, often found Ivy diligently assisting with chores around the house, even if it meant stacking blocks precariously high or attempting to 'fix' broken toys with a determined frown. This innate desire to contribute extended beyond her family. Even in play, Ivy thrived on collaborating with others. Building elaborate castles from blankets and cushions was always a team effort, requiring careful planning and execution. She instinctively understood the importance of each piece working together to create something truly magnificent. Challenges never deterred Ivy; instead, they fueled her determination to find solutions. If a tower threatened to crumble, she would quickly assess the situation and rally her playmates to reinforce it, ensuring their shared creation stood strong.
