''I'm curious what it will be like for Matilda when she's older,'' says Williams. ''To see how her parents met on that movie. They have such an unhappy outcome, yelling and fighting and divorcing. It will hopefully be unlike any way she's ever seen her mother and father.''

After two hours of conversation, Williams bundles up in her gold-buttoned peacoat, preparing for the cold walk home. She doesn't want to miss her daughter's calming nightly routine of bath, book (''Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?'' Williams happily recites), and bed. ''Matilda demonstrates the beauty of first times best—when she rolls over for the first time, when she tries to hang on to something for the first time,'' she says. ''Life is full of first times right now and you just have to be aware of that to catch them and appreciate them.''
