Devin doesn't "do" colors. I have done every lesson I can think of, read books, sorted objects but when it comes down to it, Devin could care less. He has NO desire to learn his colors.
At first I was worried... is he not smart enough? Ally knew all her colors, shapes, a bunch of letters... she was definitely over prepared for preschool. But one day as he we were driving past the never-ending construction and Devin was pointing out every construction vehicle and naming them I realized something... he IS smart, just not in the same way. Don't even try and try and tell him a front loader is a back hoe, because he will laugh at you. And he when he hands you an allen wrench, don't call it just a wrench. He also knows all of his tools by specific name. So, no more worrying, he is just going to learn what he wants, when he wants it.
He has definitely hit his "terrible two's" though, and where he used to be so mellow and easy going, he can now throw a massive temper tantrum.
He's also really good at getting in trouble.
And while I fall in to bed every night exhausted, I am in SO in love with him!
