So Clara is, for the first time ever really, fixated on a book. Prior to the past two weeks or so, she went from book to book, and really, the only common thread among them that Julie could discern was that Clara seemed to like books with relatively more intricate illustrations. The book that she is fixated on is one Julie got in honor of spring called Split! Splat! It's about a girl who plays in a rainy, then muddy, then sunny day and includes lots of nonsense words (like "mucha-mucha-chucka-wucka splish splash sploosh!") among the words that take the reader through the rain and mud and sun. The illustrations look like watercolor paintings, incidentally. It's pretty, and fun, and the rain is shot through with easy sunshine so you know, the book is quite a bit like Our Girl.
