Thank you all for your kind comments. This was a fun project. When our daughter was this age, he was between jobs and spent a lot of time with her when I was at work. He worked on her numbers, letters and colors. I remember she had trouble remembering the name of the color yellow. She would say, "I can't remember the colors name, but Daddy says it's the color of a banana...!" I think that may be why he felt a connection with this little one. He is a good man and I am lucky to have him.
