Like she wouldn't want to go to friends' birthday parties.
didn't really want to try new things.
Um
She had a nice Girl Scout troop, and that kind of kept her going and kept her engaged.
She refused to play sports.
And the only sport or like physical activity that she enjoyed.
was swimming because she was underwater, so she could shut the world out.
But it you know, con the consequence of that is that now she has an amazing lung capacity, um, and is a really, really great swimmer.
Um, she's really good at holding her breath.
And uh and she loves kayaking.
And I think I mean she must be somewhere, some type of water spirit, uh, but because the water is very soothing to her.
But uh you know, and when she was in seven and a half, uh was she started kayaking and the second day of kayaking she had the kayak like out in the middle of the lake and went like we had to happen another kayak and go fetch her 'cause she was just gone, like and totally happy and content.
