Fearfulness
This is new. She's become afraid of things she's known since birth. She's been afraid of motorcycles that make loud noise since we went on our camping trip. Just seeing one will make her want to take the long way around.

She's afraid of cows now. She was playing on her play structure when we got home last night. The cows were moving toward the fence in front of us and she wanted to get away from them. She's been around cows forever, why this now?

Then there's the ocean. She never got over it. We never forced her to go back again. When she freaked out at seeing the sound, too, we gave up. Maybe next time. Her fear and aversion is so great that she has renamed items. Her beach shoes are now pool shoes. Her beach toys are pool toys. Even a beach ball is now a pool ball. You know she's got it bad when she argues vehemently that the piece of driftwood we gave her came from the pool.
