Matilda has turned into quite the fan of both The Beatles and VW Beetles. Santa brought her this Yellow Submarine shirt, which is a big favorite lately, and helped cement her Beatles love I think. Tim created her a playlist of Beatles tunes that she requests almost daily. When we are out driving around she is uncannily good at spotting VW Beetles, being sure to differentiate between the old models and new. (Although Beetles were her first love, she will now identify PT Cruisers, Minis and Mustangs - a very random assortment of cars!)We have yet to teach her the punch bug game, and figure that one will have to wait a few years until she can understand the distinction between a punch bug game and an across the board no-hitting-tolerance enforced in the toddler crowd. Not that M has been hitting anyone, but it is increasingly an issue as we've had a few run-ins with other kids hitting her. Last weekend on the playground an 18 month old toddler came up and gave her a swat. She spent the remainder of her time at the playground very wary of him - at one point she was even climbing up onto my head practically in order to escape his reach. It was very entertaining to witness, especially her terror at this tiny toddler walking towards her.
