Learning Pronunciation

Owen's learning how to correctly pronounce several words that he's been screwing up for months. It's a good thing of course, but it makes us sad because some of the words were so funny! A few examples of how he used to say things...

"Ready, set.... DOHHH!"
"Budduh-you" (w)
"Dot mom" (dot com)
"Momas" (Thomas)
"Dirt" (shirt)
"Fridge-peter" (refrigerator)

However, there are still plenty of things that he messes up:

"Temp tailor" (tent trailer)
"Wah-ger ah-boons" (water balloons, which is funny because he used to say both "water" and "balloons" correctly)
"Thorts" (shorts)

His pronunciation of Logan's name has changed a couple of times. He still isn't getting it:

"Whoa-yen"
"Whoa-nen"
"Wun-nen" and now
"Wo-gen"

He's getting there. But I hope he takes his time, because the mispronunciations are so funny :)
