It's not easy being two

Being two is sooo hard. Poor little boy .. Over the past few weeks he has finally grasped the whole mouse move/click thing, and he's pretty much on his own when it comes to his computer these days. He wants control of the mouse and will NOT move his hand if you come to help him, he keeps his hand on the mouse and you have to put your hand over his and guide it where it needs to go.

Well, he has this educational game that has a duck as the main character, it sings songs and teaches letters/colors/shapes etc.. He LOVES this game and will spend time sitting still just playing with it (and as you know, sitting still for a two year old is hard work). But every now and again he'll click the area to turn to game off and then he realizes what he's done and then the world ends, he just breaks down and sobs.

'Duck game!'
'Duuuuuuck game!'

He's not angry or throwing a fit, he is truely upset that the game is over. Pamela or I pick him up and try to console him, but he is heartbroken. He is sobbing real tears, the world is not a perfect place anymore. We immediately have to restart the game (which he could do, I've seen him do it when he randomly reboots his computer) and sit there with him for a few minutes until the world is better and the duck once again sings.
