"lella"

Parker officially definitely knows the color yellow, (or "lella" as he says it)! A long time ago I wrote a post where he correctly identified blue and red, but that only lasted for like a week or something and then he couldn't identify them anymore...strange because EVERY time we asked him for that week, he correctly identified them. I guess that was all just a coincidence!

Lately we have been mentioning the color of things more frequently as Parker plays to help him pick up on it. About a week ago, if you asked him what color something was, he would instantly say "boo" (that's blue to those of you who aren't parents yet). Well earlier this week James pointed to a picture of a yellow car in a book and asked Parker was color it was and at first Parker said his usual "boo" but then right after saying that, he said "lella"! This happened a couple of other times this week when we would ask him the color of something yellow! Then this morning I was putting some different colored balls onto his ball pop table and when I pulled out the yellow one, he pointed right to it and he said "lella" once again! :) I'm so proud of my smart little man!! The funny thing is that now when you ask him what color something is he either says it's "boo" or "lella" or he'll say "boo, lella". Oh well, at least he knows one color...I'd say that's pretty good for a 17 month old! :)
