Splash, Splash, Splash - LP's new game

LP (newly 2 and 1/2) made up a game a few days ago.

The steps are:

1. Take a book off the bookcase and bring it over to the open floor space.
2. Place it on the floor.
3. Stand on the book and step up and down while saying "splash, splash, splash!"
4. Repeat steps 1-3

The first day she created it, she didn't want to have quiet time (and that is a nonnegotiable in our home...you don't have to sleep but everyone needs some rest) until I suggested she could splash again after quiet time. And that is what she went straight to --- without ever asking for her usual post-quiet time milk.

She talks about her book-puddles and clearly has a plan of how this should look (relationship of books to each other). Occasionally she invites me or ImprovDad to splash too. She and I also spent some time where I would name a book for her to find and splash on.

Our home has a stream of books running through it. I love it.
