Color Me Happy

Eli has been distinguishing colors much better recently. For a long time now, he'd just reply 'orange' if you asked him anything about colors. I know they've been working on this with him at school, so between there and home he's making some connections. The other day, when we saw the horse, I asked him what color it was and he told me, "Horsey. Brown." I asked him if it was orange? Again, Eli said, "No. brown." Then I caught him listing colors and pointing (correctly) to them on a coloring book cover a few days ago. He didn't know I was watching. As soon as I asked him to list the colors again, he played the 'orange' or 'brown' game.
