Would it help if other Lojbanists came over often and talked in Lojban?

If you are addressing me, then "yes, but if and only if the guests spoke only lojban (in front of the babies)"I wonder what will happen in a year's time when they are in the English "Why?" phase. Will they use "mu'i ma", "ri'a ma", "ki'u ma", or "ni'i ma"?--gejyspa--
