Yellow Yellow Yellow

Noah is very interested in colors these days. He especially likes yellow... or rather he insists on wearing yellow all the time, and we simply do not have enough yellow clothes to accommodate him. Every morning he now goes through his shirt drawer and picks out a yellow top. If there is nothing yellow he throws a massive fit. This was funny at first. It's not funny anymore. it has been going on for about 2 weeks now. There are other colors he likes, but he doesn't seem interested in wearing them. Specifically, he likes purple and orange, or as he calls it "edgy." Not sure why, but orange is always edgy (because I think he can say orange if he wants to). He has two cylinder shaped blocks-- one orange, one purple-- and he walks around holding them saying "puple and edgy puple and edgy." And if I wear anything purple, he will periodically come up to me, point at me and say "puple." But for him, it's got to be yellow. If I put him in something that is not yellow, he pulls his shirt away from his body as if it is burning him and yells "yellow yellow yellow." It's really not funny anymore.

Oh, no. Does it have to be solid yellow or just have yellow on it? Can you get him a yellow pin or a bunch of yellow stickers? Mia's starting to assert her choice of clothing, but nothing like this yet. Good luck! I'm sure I'll need to learn from you on this one.

It can have a design on it, but the background must be yellow. This morning he's in blue though because all yellow was dirty. He had a fit, but then quieted down. But from time to time he kept pulling his shirt away from his body and muttering yellow to himself.
