Fruit Loops and Colors


If you ever ask Lincoln what color something is he always says "green" or "yellow". A few months ago my Dad was in town and he took us to dinner so I decided to play a little joke on him while Linc was coloring and we were waiting for our food. I picked up the green crayon and asked Lincoln what color it was (figuring I had a 50/50 shot he would say green). He answered, "GREEN!". My Dad was VERY impressed and thought we had a child prodigy on our hands and so I proceeded to pick up the red, yellow, and blue crayons and asked Linc the same question to which he replied just as enthusiastically as the first time "GREEN!" to each one... He quickly got the joke.
Anyways, today I figured we would work on colors. The activity was supposed to go from this...


To this...(which it did the first time with LOTS of help from Mom)...


The second time through I wanted Linc to try to do more of it on his own and this is how it turned out...


But how can you correct a face as excited as this one...


So I just let him play...


Pouring cereal from one bowl to the next...





Blowing into the bowl watching the cereal fly...


And of course eating along the way...


By the end this was all the cereal that was left because he had eaten it all...


So this activity has forced me to come to one of two conclusions...
1. He is lazy like his Mom or
2. He is color blind like his Dad's side
Is it a bad thing to hope for number 2? I don't want the only trait he has from his Mom to be her laziness! Either way he is still the cutest boy I've ever seen!

He is #3 probably trying to make you feel better about yourself. He is so cute. I miss that little kid.
