Recently, S has fallen head over heels for silly rhyming books like Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. After reading one of these books, S will start to play with words and make up his own silly parables. So much so that he will lie in bed at night or at naptime for long periods of time just playing with words.

The other day we encouraged him to make up a poem and we wrote it down:

Sleep and the Leaf
Sleep in the lightbulb
Sleep in a tennis racket
Sleep in the forest
Sleep in the sunflower
Sleep in a bumblebee
Sleep on a camera
Sleep on a computer
Sleep in the restaurant
Sleep in the hot chocolate
Sleep in a jungle
Sleep in my shoe
