Matthew and his tunes

Matthew has this little walkman tape player that my mom sent him a while back. He loves it and calls it his recorder. She also sent him a couple tapes to go with it. He accidentally broke his favorite tape (of Grandma talking to him) so we had to get out another one: an old Brite Music tape of animal songs. He listened to it and listened to it. Then he told me his favorite song was the butterfly song. He was very excited when I showed him we have those tapes on CD, but still preferred to listen on his tape player.

Here he is clapping along to the music. He started clapping and told us, "this is how Grandpa Guptill claps...like this." Not sure what that means.

Later he just sacked out on the couch, still happily listening to his tunes. I'm glad he likes the music. I guess I should eventually get him something else to listen to his music like a MP3 player, but he really loves taking the tapes in and out and rewinding (remember that?), so why mess with a good thing, right?
