Hmmm. Don't you think making an issue out of the pink thing is just going
to reinforce it? Make a color chart and show him the other colors in the
family. Have your husband show him how to adjust the color on the computer.
Make some play dough and give him the colors to make the play dough
colored. I would start emphasizing all colors and it more than likely will
go away. Also, think back and see if he has a pattern of liking things for
a period of time in the past.
I had a niece who at 4 would not answer to her name for a year. She was the
wicked witch and talked like her. It drove her grandparents crazy. She
got over it and does not even recall it now.
My guess is that the love of the color has something to do with a 'thing' he
has seen that is pink and the color makes him happy at that moment. Did
you wear pink sometime when he was really really happy to see you? Did
a babysitter who he likes wear pink? Did he have a particular piece of cake
with pink icing or did he go to a party where there were pink candles? I
am guessing the joy just relates back to something in his life that made
him happy. (Like the smell of bread makes me.....smile.)
