You say to-mah-to, I say to-may-to

Susanna is starting to develop just a tiny bit of an accent.  When she says certain words we can definintely hear it.  Like tomato, for example.  Every day at school all kids under age 7 are offered fresh fruit as part of a government eat-more-fruit scheme.  Its usually bananas (or ba-nah-nas), apples, oranges, or tomatos.  Susanna was surprised the first time tomatos were served - she didn't realize they were fruit!  Occasionally there are veggies, too - today she had beans.

I imagine that her accent will continue to develop over time as she learns letter sounds, phonics, and reading at school.  No accent for Ben yet...
