My daughter Faith hasn't been able to pronounce the letter F.
So everything F becomes a P.
Her name is "Pait" (can't pronounce the th either). She hurt her "poot" (foot). It drove her older brother crazy!
Josh: Not Pait! Faith!
Faith: Pait
Josh: Not P!!! F!! Ffffffffffff. Faith!
Faith: Pait
So I am very happy to share that she can now pronounce her name properly. I knew it was only a matter of time. And she's very proud of herself too!
Me: What's your name?
Faith: Faith.
Me: Very good! Ok, Faith, say Elffffff.
Faith: Elf
Me and Josh: Yay!!! (clapping our hands)
A few days later...
Me: Ok, which dvd do you want to watch? Nemo? Lion King? Cinderella? Happy Feet?
Faith: I want to watch Haffy Feet!!!
Oh well.....

hello mench, gee, i've missed 3 of your posts while i've been helping my Mother. suffice to say i am making an exception for you regarding topics involving bodily fluids and bodily functions. normally i cover my ears and make sounds with my mouth, but just this once i read about warm poops and will simply tell you:
yah, i know...
:)
Phantastic! :)
She's adorable!
Keshi.
So funny! Its soooo contagious isn't it? I find that instead of correcting them I end up copying how my kids mispronounce stuff...
kj,
I know! I'm sorry, I how know grossed out you are about bodily functions. Thanks for making an exception. Happy Birthday again! :D
Keshi,
yeah, she's pabulous! LOL! Never a boring moment.
Pacha,
i know exactly what you mean. sometimes i like listening to them make the same mistakes with words cause it's so cute! of course I know they make it only cause they're very young. Joshua was the same way when he was a toddler.
I missed it all. She is a fabulous little girl.
That's cute. Our maya can't say the "K" sound. So uses T to replace K/C
Cat=TAT
Maya is only 2, so no worries yet!
And she PHLATTERING! :)
Keshi.
Hi Mench
That is soooo hilarious and funny.
Hi M--that is so sweet and cute!
I love when they are at the mispronouncing stage of a word and then they slowly accomplish it. That's so nice to see!
Oh, the phee and ep depect! =)
The kids will outgrow it, believe me. =)
Ha Ha Ha! Hilarious! Pabulous news, Menchie!
Too cute. :-)
came to 'pind' out where u r Menchie :)
Hv a good one!
Keshi.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am still mad about ECLIPSE. LOL. I hope she fixes that mess in the next book. ^__^
Ces,
I won't disagree. :P
Sabinem,
gosh, now I remember joshua had a problem with the L sound. Plate would sound like "pwate". He grew out of it. :D
Kuya,

NP,
yes, I love that stage. It is too funny!
HB,
I know. my eldest was the same. now he's the one who corrects her.
WW,
She still does it. I asked her to say it yesterday and she still said haffy feet. :D
Laurie,
thanks!
keshi,
it was my mom's bday yesterday so i took the day off and took her shopping. :D Been busy catching up with mail. You have a good weekend too!
Mailyn,
It wasn't my favorite of the series because Bella was such a twit she doesn't deserve Edward. I wonder when the next book will come out? Maybe I should read the ending first before I buy it. LOL!
Very cute! :)
Perfect. My eldest had to wear a badge for school because he couldn't pronounce his name. It's a huge moment.
Have a good weekend.

So funny!
Hey Bla! Thanks for dropping by!
Caroline,
It is. :D
Marie,
i know. it still makes me giggle when i think about it.
Kyle did the exact same thing! Until he was 4 or 5, his F's would coume out with the "th" sound. I especially found it amusing when he'd say "thinger".
LOL! She's done a search-and-replace for the letter P!
