Tiarnan and the colours of the world

Tiarnan, just turned seventeen months, seems to be absorbing information without us being quite aware of where his information comes from.

Yesterday, for instance, there was an intently coloured decoration beside me. I pointed it out to Tiarnan since that colour is rarely found in the environment: "Purple", I said, to him.

Since we seemed to be in the colour pointing business, Tiarnan had a most apt reply to my example. He leant over and looked behind him and pointed at a bag. "Red." he said. It was indeed, a red bag. Funny boy.
