Heads up: This post is 14 years old. My thinking may have evolved since then — read it with that in mind.
It rained heavily yesterday morning so I brought extra clothes for L and went to the soccer field. At first he did his usual thing, chasing the birds and checking out the flags. Eventually he stumbled into this big puddle of water, it was deep enough to submerge up to the top of his feet! He stood there for a few seconds, experiencing the new sensation. He moved his feet in the water, first slowly, then faster, until he found out that he could make a BIIIIIIG splash by stomping into it! Boy did he have a great time! I stood there and watch him stomp around in the puddle for over 15 minutes! Afterwards I had to change his clothes before we could go home!
