I wanna 'nuggle wif you

One of Aubrey's most endearing qualities right now (and yes, at nearly 3 years old, some days there seem to be only a handful), is her inability (or choice not to...see previous comment) to correctly pronounce any word that begins with an 's' followed by another consonant. Somehow, she always manages to drop the 's,' leading to some hilarious pronunciations.

For example:
"snack" = 'nack
"stand" = 'tand
"star" = 'tar
"snake" = 'nake

But by far, the sweetest pronunciation of all is her use of the word, "nuggle." As in, "Mommy, I wanna 'nuggle wif you." I find it so hilarious that I often try to steer the conversation so that she will repeat it again and again. Kinda makes her "I am toddler, hear me roar" phase just a bit more bearable...
