Alex does things like that too. Almost right but a tad off.

Our Alex does the same thing.....he KNOWS the difference but doesn't always 
use them correctly.

Alex has never stuttered but his speech was (and sometimes still is) very

But often if we say 'Alex your speech is muddled' he can clear it up some by 
paying attention....maybe not being lazy with his speech?
