As a toddler Mary… Is constantly seeking thrill Loves to rock Loves to be upside-down Loves to bounce Loves to spin Loves to climb Loves to swing as high and fast as possible Becomes distressed about having nails clipped or things in her hair Likes to wear hats/hoods Must have a hat/hood on to keep her hair from flapping against her head when jumping or swinging Hates the wind or anything that causes her hair to move Has frequent temper tantrums that can last 45 minutes Has many mood swings Becomes violent at times with herself (for no apparent reason will start hitting herself on the head or head-butting things) Needs to be wrestled down to have her diaper changed Likes to wear sunglasses Does not stay asleep – very easily awaken Is nearly impossible to get to sleep Is extremely affectionate with people –loves hugs...although they usually have to be requested or initiated by her Likes to sit on different objects – will sit on books, boxes, cans, toys, etc. Sucks two fingers upside-down to soothe self Randomly throws herself onto the floor Is extremely difficult to feed (she is a very picky) In constant motion – when sitting or excited her legs and arms are constantly flailing Bangs or hits her head –not just when frustrated Purposefully sticks her fingers in the back of her throat to initiate her gag-reflex Seems very lazy –if anything is too heavy or too much work she gives up
