Pink Exclusion

The second thing that happened today showing that Milton is learning was when we sat by the dinner table. I put three plastic cups with different colours infront of Milton. Green, pink and blue. We haven´t really talked to Milton about colours before so I didn´t really expect him to know which colour is which. It´s been more like, -"Look at the that red bus".

I asked him:

(Swedish)-"Milton, vilken mugg är blå ? Kan du se den blå muggen ?"
(English)-"Milton, which mug is blue ? Can you see the blue mug ?"
Milton looked at the cups, then at me. He looked like a question mark.
I then pointed to the blue mug and said:
(Swedish)-"Det här är den blåa muggen"
(English)-"This is the blue mug"

I then asked him:

(Swedish)-"Milton, vilken mugg är grön ? Kan du se den gröna muggen ?"
(English)-"Milton, which mug is green ? Can you see the green mug ?"
Milton looked at the cups, then at me. He looked like a question mark again.
I then pointed to the green mug and said:
(Swedish)-"Det här är den gröna muggen"
(English)-"This is the green mug"

Now it´s only the mug in the center left. The pink mug. So I asked him:
(Swedish)-"Milton, vilken mugg är då rosa ? Kan du se den rosa muggen ?"
(English)-"Milton, then which mug is pink ? Can you see the pink mug ?"

Milton pointed to the pink mug in the middle and said -"Där (there)"

I´m pretty sure he didn´t know that, that mug was the pink mug but it was the only one I hadn´t pointed at so he must have used the exclusion method.

He looked so proud and happy when he pointed at the pink mug and so was I :)
