1) high tolerance fear factor (for 4) - likes action, science fiction and 'spooky icky things'. Enjoys movies like Star Wars (original 3), Spider-Man(s), Iron Man(s), X-Men/Wolverine(s), Shark-nado. Though she occasionally needs explanation (bad guys, good guys, Mother Nature, just pretend...), she is engaged and entertained. She likes to 'scare the kids' by dressing up as bad guys or having creepy decorations and treats. (She doesn't do the jump out kind of scaring, which I'm thankful for.) She loves Halloween and has not been timid in the past by spooky houses. She's excited to taste her 'sticky icky treats' from the Dr Dreadful experiment sets.
2) physically adventurous - likes to practice her gymnastics and swimming (face in/under water and all). Enjoys to climb and play on playgrounds both big and small. Eager to learn to ride her bike.
3) she's friendly yet protective - she likes to play and make new friends but when she feels that there is an injustice she won't stand for it. When a big kid bumped into lil' sis she told the big kid that they need to be more careful around babies and that they should apologize. She doesn't get pushed around or pressured. She likes to take turns (or lead) play but doesn't tend to feel the pressure to follow. She'll play alone (or 'take a break') rather than being bossed around by strong personalities
4) *note worthy but not new, her love of food and flavors - tho her spice/hot tolerance has decreased, she still likes trying new things and enjoys strong, mild, complex, and simple profiles alike.
I know she'll have her own set of challenges but it's so nice to see that we've been able to help her limit some of our childhood fears/limitations.
Guin is indeed a brave girl, being with her and watching her develop has been a blast! She may have little fear but she makes in up in sass... lol :)
