A boy I used to babysit would call me "Hiwwy" when he was about 2. That slowly transitioned into "Hirry" and then "Hirrawy" and then "Hirrary." He didn't consistently say "Hillary" properly until he was about 4. I've seen this happen with a lot of kids -- the L and R sounds eventually work themselves out.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hil, you're right. Mom said, just repeat the world correctly and then leave it. The idea is that Annabel will pick up the correct pronounciation.
Mostly what she said, is don't worry about this too much, right now. A lot can happen in 6 months and Annabel is still young.

It's funny, Annabel didn't say her name until she got to a point where she could pronounce it correctly, but other kids tend to start with "A'bel" then work their way through "Abbabel" before getting to Annabel. The middle pronunciation led a lot of parents of two-year-olds to think the little girl in their kids' class with the thick brown hair was named Abigail.

And to break in with MEME news--
I'm starting to see definition in my arms! Not a lot, just a little when I do a bicep curl. But still change and exercises I'm doing are getting easier.

How to really screw with someone's perception
How long did it take you to figure out how they were doing it?

Once I saw that the camera was not being shown, I started looking for differences, and it's almost impossible for two humans to be perfectly in sync.
OTOH? I would have put thicker (if there was any) glass up between them and some "mirrored" items on the counter. mabe a sign stuck to the glass.
Still good for a laugh.

There are days I do not understand my daughter.
Tonight is the homecoming football game, so she is dragging her bf out. She is not a football fan. Also, it is raining. And yet, I just dropped them both off to the strains of some young girl murdering the National Anthem.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Go, you!
I, on the other hand, can lift adult human beings on a regular basis, and yet have no definition anywhere. I hate my body.
