Maybe. When I picked her up from daycare yesterday, the afternoon teacher shook her head and said, "Zoe's gonna be a handful once she starts walking." I said, "She already is," but asked what she meant. She said, "When the older kids try to take toys from her, she stands-to." Then she did this sort of aggressive stance, throwing back her shoulders, in an imitation of what Zoe does, I guess. I wouldn't know. I don't really see her around kids her age regularly. Then she said, "And she's so little!" (Zoe is the second youngest in the class.)
Then the teacher talked about how Zoe is close to walking. She cruises and lets go of things. She also thinks Zoe is close to talking, too, because she babbles a lot, especially it seems, if someone is trying to take her toy. "Zoe stands her ground," she repeated.
It would be interesting to see her around other kids her age. I only see them during the drop off/pick up, which isn't a great time to gauge interaction. Doesn't surprise me she has a temper, though. I always suspected she would. She's going to have all of our best and worst qualities, I think.
