Nora used the mouse for the first time the other day on the Mac, with no real promting or help. We were playing "Pick a pair" on "Gruffalo.com", and she just naturlaly started to use the mouse herself to switch between virtual cards.
I was proud.
In a slightly different development, Noodle has not only moved on from having no pillow, but she has also ditched the sleeping bag and hass a DUVET! Albeit a half polyester "Amicore" one from Mothercare (but a lovely brushed organic non-dyed cotton cover! C'mon, you've got to give me some credit for that, surely?). She liked the idea of it but she's going through a bit too much with the old teeth atm to appreciate it, plus I'm realising that her "friends" (the menagerie of soft toys she has been given over the course of her short life) are threatening to take over her whole bed, so I think we're going to have to think about a judicious "Some of them live on the sofa" type event (there's a sofa bed in the corner of her bedroom - although it won'tbe there for long since No.2's going in a cot, & Nora's graduating in to a proper honest to goodness bed (bottom bunk) once His Nibs grows out of his Moses Basket).
But all these changes are interesting and at the same time weirdly sad although obviously I'd never let my feelings about how ace she is as a young child get in the way of her development.
