Vowels are such pesky creatures. Diphthongs are worse ('combination of vowel sounds' for those who didn't take Diction 101 for fun in college). Some words are doomed for failure in the initial attempts by small children.
But not TV-associated words. 'Television' and 'movie' and 'watch' were no problem for either of my kids. So I was surprised by the following interchange:
Spiderman: "Mommy! I need more valium!"
Me: "Um... what?"
Spiderman: "Valium! Please may I have more valium? I can't hear it!"
Me: "Right. Okay. Yes. You may have more VOLUME."
Spiderman: "Yes. I need more valium."
You and me both, kid.
