Colors and "phew"

I have not really worked to hard on colors with Julia yet. We go over them occasionally when reading certain books, but generally I am not pushing it yet. Well, apparently she is picking it up anyway! She has known the color blue for a long time now, but she is now added yellow to the list of colors she knows.

This morning I was getting her dressed. I was getting ready to put yellow socks on her. I soon as I started putting one on her foot, she pointed to it and said "yellow". I told her "that is right, your sock is yellow". I then put on her other sock, to which she pointed and said yellow again. She then looks up at me all proud of herself. Then she saw the shirt laying on the dresser that I was going to put on her. "Yellow", she said as she picked up the yellow shirt.

So we got blue and yellow down. We will just have to work on the other colors. Although she is also getting pretty good with "red".

I have accidentally taught Julia how to say "phew" when I change her diapers. Her poppy diapers smelled so bad, that usually once I opened the diaper I would go "phew". Well, Julia has picked up on this. Now when ever I change her diaper, regardless if it is poppy or not, she says "phew" as soon as I open it up!!

Oh, Julia saw a squirrel playing in the yard this weekend. She watched it intently and kept saying "kitty, kitty". Gavin has a pretty fluffy tail too, so it must be hard to know that a squirrel is not a kitty!! I just don't think that "kitty" will let Julia pet it!!!
