The other night my husband, Matt, was playing on the floor with Riley when he held up a yellow ball and asked Riley what color it was. Riley replied, "Lellow." Matt and I stared at each other in disbelieve. Clearly, we were raising a genius! And then the disbelieve faded away as the following unfolded.
Matt: Points to a blue object, "What color is this?"
Riley: "Lellow."
Matt: Points to a red object, "What color is this?
Riley: "Lellow."
Matt: Points to a green object, "What color is this?"
Riley: "Lellow."
So, maybe not a genius yet, but this mama is impressed that he even recognizes yellow as a color at this young age. The rest will come soon enough!
