we're working on our colors. he gets confused sometimes, but for the most part he's learning them well. i make him tell me what color his play-doh is before i open it for him. and then he makes me tell him what color his trucks are before i can play with him. and somehow he knew that the orange circle was a circle. i'm still not sure how he knew that because i haven't even tried to start shapes yet. i think he must have learned it from Little Pim because he does shapes and colors. except those are in spanish. but circulo and circle are pretty close, right? or maybe my stinker is a shape learning prodigy. cool.
