Getting Sorted

Noah is starting to look much smarter than he sounds. Actually, he is starting to sound a bit smarter too, but his long silence made it tough to gauge what was going on in his head. A long time ago we bought some developmental books from a college student who was going door-to-door. They really are very nice, colorful books. One of them has to do with shapes.

Noah can identify circle, square, triangle, rectangle, star, diamond, oval, and semicircle. When he says the words he does it with the gusto of an umpire yelling "strike one!" It's uncanny how well he can identify the shapes in the book and in the world. He is particularly fond of the rectangle. He also is starting to get a sense of color. He is good with red, but keeps getting green and blue confused. With him being a boy I'm slightly concerned, but I think it's a little too early to be seriously worried about color-blindness.
