Colors

Gemma has been working hard learning her colors lately.  Green is her strongest - she picked it up first, followed by red and yellow.  Green is definitely her favorite color, and it's her go-to when she's not sure of a color.  She leaves the final letter off a lot of her words right now and it's so cute because when you ask her to identify something green, she gets very excited and yells: "GREE!"  Red is "rehhh" and yellow is "yeddow."  We have been working with her a lot on identifying colors and she is doing great.  She has a puzzle with 10 different colored fish on it (she has been able to match the fish correctly by color since Christmas but is just now learning the names of the colors) and yesterday she identified 7 of the 10 colors correctly on the first try.  She knew green, red, yellow, white, black, pink, and purple but had a harder time with blue, brown, and orange.  I am so proud of her for learning this already.  It is so much fun when we are out somewhere and she sees a color she recognizes (usually "GREE!") and points it out excitedly to us.  Next we need to start working hard on identifying shapes!
