One thing I’ve been thinking about regarding animal noises is the actual animal noise and the not-quite-phonetic spelling of the noise. My slightly late talking youngest son makes realistic animal noises rather than saying “moo” (which I think most children would say). Even now when I think of what noise a cow makes I initially think “moo”, rather than of the actual noise itself.
I’m not sure that actually means anything—just an observation!
Thanks.

I agree on all counts: “moo” is a word, <more realistic cow sound> is a non-word, and my kid like yours can only do the non-word version.
