Zoey is a very joyful little girl. She laughs and screeches a lot. However, she can get very focused. When we were walking in our neighborhood, she was excited and screeching and cooing. I hold out my 2 index fingers, and she holds onto them for balance and toddles along. It makes her very happy. She was having a great time, but she kept insisting on heading east. I would redirect her, and she would reorient herself and head east again. Finally figured out that she wanted to go to the playground across the street.
In order to get there, we would have to cross a very busy road, during rush hour traffic. So I decided it wasn't a good idea, and kept trying to redirect her, and she would get upset and frustrated, and demand to go east (toward the playground). Once she's got her mind set on doing something, she's pretty focused on it. She's stubborn, also. I guess tenacity and focus are good traits.
