Anyway, she's been doing well, especially with word-initial /l/ (L's at the beginning of the word... yay linguistics jargon! Use that degree!). Recently she's even started picking up on the /l/ within words... except for her own name. This was a conversation we had this evening:
[Conversation starts with Chaela exaggerating the L in a word I can't remember.]
Me: Wow! You're getting really good at saying your L's!
Chaela: YEAH!
Me: So can you say Chaela?
Me: Ha ha, not quite. Chay-LUH. Llllll. Luh!
Chaela: CHAYA! I did it!
Me: Yeah, good job honey. How about this, say Chay...
Chaela: Chay.
Me: Luh.
Chaela: Luh.
Me: Chay... luh.
Chaela: CHAYA! I DID IT! Chaya! Chaya Kafrin HAIR!
Me: *sigh*
[five minutes later, to herself]
Chaela: Ha ha, Chay-LUH. That's silly.
Me: *facepalm*
