Felix The Cat Gets The Mouse

Our kids have all got books for recording the date they first did things, such as "situp unaided", crawl, walk, say "mama" etc etc.

I've never seen the space to record what Felix did for the first time this morning though. He used a mouse! Ahhhh, that's ma boy!

Well, I say mouse. It was my laptop's touchpad, but the principle's the same, I guess.

This is something of a godsend for me as it means I don't have to come to his aide every ten minutes when the Youtube Scooby Doo video he's watching is "broken daddy, broken". He can now use the mouse to choose the next one and click to play it.

What next, his first line of code...

    It will probably be about dinosaurs and/or biscuits and will, by definition, be more interesting than anything I could come up with.

    Just thought what his first lines of code might look like:

    if (biscuit.type!="chocolate"){ throw new paddy();}

    Ha - I never thought of a paddy being thrown like an error.

    My youngest (18m) has taken to pointing and laughing when my eldest (5.5) has a tantrum. It's very hard not to join in.
