We think of Milo as a bungie-jumping extrovert. But he surprises us with moments where he crumbles like an oatmeal cookie. Just this week he:

• Refused to get into the San Mateo park train.
• Refused to let Lucie take him into the water until the very end of his first swim class.
• Refused to un-embed himself from Lucie's lap at music class.

He confines his fears to things that happen to be completely safe. God forbid he'd think twice about running out into a busy street.
