O, Green and Nine

Trent can identify several letters. His favorite is the letter 'O'. He can pick it out of words. He was, for a while, confused about the difference between the letter 'O' and holes. He seems to have worked that out though.

His favorite color is green. Anytime we let him pick out a shirt to wear from his drawer, he chooses a green shirt. Sometimes, when the green shirts are dirty, he gets upset. He likes to pick books off of bookshelves both at our house at his grandparents. He has favorites that he always chooses first. He likes The Northern Lights: The True Story of the Man Who Unlocked the Secrets of the Aurora Borealis and a book about hiking the Appalachian Trail. Both have a greenish turquoise color. His favorite Little People animal is the iguana, which is also a turquoise color.

Trent seems to be able to distinguish numbers from letters. But, all the numbers are nine. I've been trying to teach him to count. I count things for him. Then I ask him to count them too. He can't count things yet. But, he can point to things each in turn and say "Nine!".

Maybe we should temporarily change his name to Oliver; it starts with an O and it has a green connotation.
