Colours
An (only interesting to me and Adrian) update on Freyja's progress with colours...For quite some time everything was pink. Although the very first colour she said was blue, and correctly too, after that everything became pink, whether it was or not. And then she started getting yellow, orange and blue too, though not always correctly - if there was any doubt, not only about the colour but also the question, the answer was always pink. But she's come along quite a way now. She knows pink, yellow (lellow) , blue, purple and brown (bown). She usually gets orange and green (geen) right too. The one she's had most trouble with, but seems to have got now, is red.
The thing is, she delights in giving the wrong answer, waiting for a reaction, then saying 'No!!!!' and giving the right answer - a sense of humour developing, I guess. I've got it now and I don't correct her immediately. She does this with puzzles too. She puts them together wrongly, looks at me, shouts 'No!!!' and gets the correct piece. She thinks it's hilarious. Other things she finds funny are farting and trying to get Adrian to give her dummy a kiss goodnight...

Funny how different they all are in their development. Yannick wanted to know the colours of cars (what else?!) for a long time, so since last year August or September every time there was a row of parking cars he would go 'ah, ah' and point, and we would go 'red car, black car, green car...'. You get the picture. The end result is that by Christmas he knew pretty much all major colours. His pronunciation isn't perfect but we get what he means. I think I need to write a post about this... :))
