Thanks for replying Kish. Our kids do sound alike. I'd forgotten the sneezing thing, that was a real problem for us too her first year. She seems to be over that, but the vaccuum still sends her into hiding in the other room until I'm done, and today she started crying anyway so I stopped and put it away.

Her latest fear is, sadly enough, silence. She said she hears "bad noises" in it. So now we always have background music or talk radio or a cartoon going. I'm hoping she outgrows this one soon.

It's nice to hear stories of similar children.
