The girls have been starting to learn their colors. I think it started with Agnes’ mother drilling them with what to call different colors, but one day Eleanor was pointing at the different blocks she was using to build something and started naming their colors. She has also voiced a preference for a particular blue bib and a blue spoon. When we put it on her, Eleanor will say “blue bib” though it sounds more like “bwoo biiii”.
In this video, Agnes is showing Eleanor the different crayons and asking what color they are.

You can hear Miranda also chime in with “yellow” just before Eleanor names the next color (green).
This video was taken about two weeks ago. In the video, I think most people wouldn’t understand what Eleanor is saying without Agnes repeating the color. Both Miranda and Eleanor pronounce their colors better now.
