My wife told me this story ... unfortunately I didn't get to see it unfold myself ...
She took Zoey and Michael to the local Barnes & Noble to play with the wooden Thomas Train Table and wooden trains. She said there were a pair of brothers there, one was about 7 years old, the other was maybe 1 year old.
Each of them was playing with a red train. Wife said there were green trains, and other color trains on the table.
Zoey likes red. Apparently, she toddled up to the 7 year old boy and *snatched* the red train right out of his hand. He was dumbfounded, didn't say anything, probably didn't know what to think of an aggressive ~2 year old girl walking up and taking something right out of his hand. She proceeded to toddle over to the younger 1 year old brother and *snatch* his red train as well.
Makes perfect sense to me. If the 7 year old isn't going to do anything about her snatching his train, the 1 year old younger brother certainly isn't!
Mommy called her out and told her that she can't take things out of other kids hands. This made her angry, and she threw the red wooden trains at the ground.
I could totally see her doing this in my mind. Zoey has a ridiculously fast (and focused) grab. It's really impressive. She knocked a spoon full of food out of my hand before I had any notion she even moved her own hand.
She's also got a really good throw. I've often thought maybe she'll play baseball when she grows up. Even before she could take more than a few steps, she could throw very accurately. She's also good at making her throws come out of nowhere. I've gotten beaned in the head from her tossing something, where I didn't even see her winding up to throw.
It's funny to see she isn't afraid or intimidated by other kids, even ones that are a lot older than her. It's also impressive (? not sure if it's a good thing) to hear about her being so aggressive.
