Wabbits

Elmer Fudd is famous for mispronouncing his r's into w's. "Sshhh...I'm hunting wabbits" is perhaps his most recognizable sentence. Well, we recently discovered that Elmer sleeps and eats with us.

Dominic says 'woof' instead of 'roof', 'floow' instead of 'floor', 'wist' instead of 'wrist'. The mispronunciation is not immediately obvious -- we just recently noticed it. But once you've been alerted, it's pretty clear. I'm trying to get him to overpronounce his r's so he'll get used to them. So far, he's amused by his mispwonunciations.
