My 2-year old has some of the most interesting versions of words. I was prepared for the all too common alteration of "truck" thanks to the discussions of my moms email list, but I didn't put too much thought into other, uh, modifications. Thanks to the difficulties with blended words, like the 'bl' in blend, I'll offer alternative descriptors to help him communicate. My son calls his A&D ointment "goo", as I suggested he call it. So there are these practical modified words, like "goo" instead of "ointment"; there are "cute" modifications for words due to underdeveloped articulation skills, like my son's pronounciation of "milk" as "gulk"; and then there are the embarrassing modifications, like the all-too common modified "truck" - which thankfully, my son has yet to say. He says "tuck" instead. His R's just haven't developed yet. But he DOES have an "embarrassing" modified word, which thankfully he has not yet said in public. Clock. He simply can't say the L in clock, but sure can say the rest of the word. Luckily, he has only said "clock" in the home, and not when we're out in public or semi-public.
