My toddler has a problem saying the 'T' sound at then end of words. So when he wants to get out of his chair he says 'ouc' which we uderstand to mean 'out.' My older sons and I tried repeating the word 'out' while emphasizing the 'T' sound but he still repeats 'ouc'
Today, in an effort to help him, we thought of a word that started with a 'T' to get him used to saying this sound. 'T' like 'Turtle' we said. And he repeated 'turtle'. Then we said 'ouT' But nevertheless he still said 'ouc'
A few minutes later, and much to our amusement, he pipes up and says 'ouc...turtle' I think our plan backfired. :)

We love your blog as we sit here chuckling and agree--these posts should be in a book on parenting. :)
