Colors

I'm not sure when Bentley learned his colors. It wasn't that long ago since he's only three and half and he didn't start talking much until he was two. I don't remember how long we had to grill him before he was color perfect. It must not have been that long or I would remember, right?

We are currently working on teaching Jake and Viva their colors. For quite some time now if asked what color something is, they will respond with blue? Green? Pink? Red? They don't usually get the color right, but they do list a color. Why is that? How do they know which words are colors?

Viva's favorite answer is pink and Jake's favorite answer is blue. Sunday when I quizzed them on their colors, I thought they were making progress. Viva got five out of six colors right. Jake didn't do as well (four right)--the color purple left him speechless. He never gets green right. He calls it blue.

Today they did less well on their color quiz. *sigh* Neither one of them knows the color yellow. It's not in their recall vocabulary. It's not a big deal. If they aren't color-blind, they will eventually learn their colors. In the meantime, they are quite amusing with their responses.
