Parenting Surprises

We went to Ohio last weekend. We visited with grandparents and brand new baby cousins, but my son was perhaps most fascinated with their Wii. He'd never played video games before.

It wasn't until we got home that I heard him, asking for his very own Wideo games. Instead of any W-W-Wideo games, he's getting phonics lessons.

(Also, I know the commenting is screwed up. I'm trying to fix it, but I feel way over my head. Hopefully the husband or brother in law will help me figure it out soon.)

My daughter sometimes mixes w/v, too. I have no issues with it and anyway I know for sure that things will change when she goes to school.

Are you thinking it's just a normal kid thing, or related to inconsistent pronunciation in the household (as most South Asians I've met either switch them or make an in-between sound for both)?

I'm sure it's related to the way Vs and Ws are pronounced in our house, but I'm not worried about it, I think it's cute. I was just joking in the post, it's so cute how he sounds just like a recent immigrant. It's amazing how he can switch into and out of Urdu and English accents and funny when they bleed into each other.
