it's interesting to watch how toddlers' language develops, evolves and grows. Words my 2yo struggled with a month or so ago now come easily to him. He's always watched my mouth when I talk, so if he's having problems saying something, I break it down for him, but I also have him watch me say it while putting his hands on my face (Helen Keller-style, like they portrayed in the movies & on stage). Almost always works, too!
