Speaking Clearly

Ever since Tali turned two, her language skills have exploded. Yes, she's been speaking for a while, but now words that were only understandable to me are now clear to everyone. For example:

blahties is now blanket
darfur is now downstairs
car is now cair (chair)
boop is now book
catid is now cocolate (chocolate)
sow is now snow
snat is now snack
Mata is now Samanta (Samantha)
Ice is now Eloise

And so on. There are some words that H and I work on with her, but most of the words just magically morphed into the correct (or close to correct) pronunciation. Unfortunately, there are some words - like mateo instead of tomato and matawoh instead of vegetables - that we just can't seem to fix. But, as H says, she won't go to college mispronouncing these words.
