Colors

For the most part Spencer seems to learn things quickly. However, colors seem to have taken a while. Todd and I were beginning to wonder if he was color blind. Recently, however, he seems to be learning his colors. A few weeks ago he correctly recognized the color of his towel as orange,which suprised me because I don't think we do orange a lot, and when I was doing laundry the other day he again pointed out the orange towel on the couch. Then tonight as I was getting him ready for bed he identified my shirt as blue,it was probably more a tourquoise but i think it counts as blue, then I pointed to some other things that he correctly identified as blue. I then pointed to some red things and he correctly identified them as red.

This morning when I was getting him ready for church he said he wanted to wear his red socks. After seeing that he had red in his shirt I put on his red socks. He then told me sometime after that he wanted to wear his pink socks. I told him he didn't have any pink socks. He sometimes talks about pink. That's a color that I don't think we've talked about much. I think we mostly do red and blue. Anyhow, at one of his doctor's appointments a few months ago he got a pink sucker. So I'm wondering if that's how pink got into his mind. Any how, it's so fun to watch him grow and learn.

As far as numbers he seems to be recognizing things in two. For example, yesterday we went on a little run/walk and, since we've recently started going on bike rides, I would point out people riding by on their bikes. Sometimes two people would ride by and he would say something like, "there's two bikers".
