Cute. Hah.

The self-consciously cute, nasal, high-pitched baby-voice can stop ANY TIME NOW. Emer is three, she knows how to speak such that I don't want to hit my head on the wall.

To be fair, she does amend it when I ask her reasonably, it's only when I'm at the end of my tether she pushes it.

Elena's best friend cannot pronounce R or L - it all comes out W - which Elena frequently imitates. The two of them also have a silly baby-talk secret language they speak together. And Elena's been playing with ideas of regression: googoo, gaga..... When she goes that far, we usually start in with "Oh, it's naptime for babies; babies don't get to go X" (where X = fun thing we're about to do). But honestly, we usually get the best results by saying "Elena voice, please."

I think a certain amount of stupid voices is legit and reasonable, except that it drives me mad. Certainly a lot of children make weird voices for their toys' voices, and so on. I just hate it.
