This isn't about the capture and demise of little furry rodents, although that probably still needs to happen in this house. Rather, this is about the manipulation of a computer pointing device.
Why talk about such a mundane subject? Because our youngest, Laura (2 1/2), was finally able to control a computer mouse enough to play a game (coloring) all by herself last night. What an accomplishment! That was the first time she had tried to use Mike's mouse, which is a wireless and smaller than usual, and that is what she needed for her small hand.
Now, this may be a moment of triumph for Laura, but I am ecstatic for another, more selfish, reason. This means that no longer do I have to sit down at the computer WITH her - she can play by herself!!! No, this doesn't mean I'll abandon her to the computer babysitter, but it does allow for some respite in hectic days.
So YEAH for mouse control!
