colors have never been chet's best area.
he is amazing when it comes to organizing, memorizing, and figuring out how things work.
he will sort his toys from biggest to smallest and it makes me think i have this genius child!
but he doesn't put much effort into mastering his colors.
me: chet, what color is this apple?
chet: green.
me: some apples are green, but this one is red. what color is this pumpkin?
chet: umm... green.
me: nope, it's orange. what color is this horse?
chet: green.
me: [sigh].
he says most things are green.
except when something is actually green, then he calls it blue!

so i have been really diligent with teaching him a new color. yellow.
chet likes school buses.
so every time we see a school bus i tell him it is yellow.
and whenever we see something else yellow, i tell him it is yellow.. like a school bus.
last night we were painting pumpkins and matt pointed to the yellow paint and asked chet what color it was.
chet replied it was 'yellow, like a school bus'.
i was so proud!
but then chet pointed to the brown paint and says, 'brown, like chocolate chips'.
matt and i laughed.
chocolate chips are my weakness. i sneak them all the time.
but i guess i'm not as sneaky as i thought!
and i guess i should stop worrying about teaching him colors.
he knows his colors, he just likes calling everything green.. probably because he knows it bugs me :)

chet is at this age where he likes to be funny.
he does silly dance moves and makes funny noises.
he likes to make us laugh.
we like making chet laugh too.
his laugh is so jolly lately. it is right from his gut.
it is fun to see what he thinks is entertaining.
i like watching him when he watches a movie.
he gets the cutest little grin when he thinks a part is funny.

he always wants to give holden his bottle, but that's it. he doesn't like to hold it after that.

he likes back scratches, and he has an awfully nice back to scratch.
he is always searching for money to put in his piggy bank.
(we had to relocate our change dish because he stole all the money from it!)
if we ask him to do something he doesn't like, he will give himself a time out instead of doing it.
he likes to point out the temple.
and we can see the temple from almost anywhere in the city... so he points it out a lot.
chet is a very nice boy.
and as he would say, we 'lub' him!
