Evie's Pronunciations

Evie has some funny pronunciations of words.  On the surface they are cute, and some errors are normal for her age (the "r"'s and "v"'s).  However, being in the field I am in, I worry that some of the errors may be indicative of either some auditory processing problems, or some issues with motor planning of her speech.  The reason being that with some of the words that do not contain any specific sounds she can't make, she still has a very very hard time saying the words correctly even when I correct her. 

- O-du day-u (over there)
- Can we play with our chother?  (each other)
- Pon-kin (Pumpkin)
- Be-surt (dessert)
- Bether (better)
- Ko-mato (tomato)
- Lath (laugh)
- Cwallow (swallow)
- Nilla (Noah)
- Wes-ta-ant (restaurant)
- Yourselth (yourself)

We'll see how things progress once she starts school, and I may have our speech therapist talk to her.
