My DS just started to pronounce popsicle correctly
My other favorite word he says is "dambaid" instead of bandaid.

My 3.5year old says "catasterpiece" instead of catastrophe. It is the best.
@Alba4: My daughter called popsicles "hapakas" for a long time!

"Cantaloupe" for "antelope"
"Cah-mote control" for "remote control"
We can't bring ourself to correct him
-
That volcano is "interrupting!"
-
My son can't say pattern and says "pad-win"
He also says "pe-cano" for volcanoHe's 5, so there's not many words he mispronounces anymore. It's so cute when he does!
-
My two year old is always talking about "smack" in place of "snack". I love it.
-
Hangaburger for hamburger even now at 4y/o
He used to call strawberries baa-bees maybe until 2.5-3? -
@Alba4: It hasn't come up recently but DD always calls bandaids "band-a". She's also grown out of "po-tail" (ponytail) but it will forever be DH's favorite.
Lately I'm loving hearing "fravorite", mainly because she says it so emphatically
-
@iluvboba637: DD eats "hangaburs" too
-
@JessyMess: that's quite the interruption! So cute!
Mine still says scream instead if screen. Sunscream touchscream
I love it so much! -
We went to Rita's for free ice Day a few weeks ago and my 3 yr old keeps asking to go back to Burritas. Close but not exactly the same...haha.
-
My almost 2.5 yo tells us she has a surprise for us, but she actually says "I have a pah-rize fah youuuuu!" It's adorable.
-
My favourite for months has been "ba-back" for backpack. He's starting to say it properly now most of the time even though I still call it ba-back. Makes me sad!
-
My 5yo has dropped almost all of them but persists in saying squiggles for skittles. It came up this week after her school egg hunt and I may have to buy more for Sunday to hear it again! I miss all that. My favorite for her being 2yo was calling makeup mee-mac.
My current 2yo mispronounces everything pretty much and I loooooove it.
-
My 3yo says "west-ar-naunt" for restaurant. I love it.
-
DS only recently started correctly pronouncing "lunch" instead of "munch." It was my favorite
But my new favorite is "scoop" instead of "scoot" when he needs to be pushed forward to the table
-
Crackers are often crappers.
Purse and Percy are Curse and Cursey for some reason. Something about the pur- sound he says with a C no matter what.
Cannonball is cammenfallllll (like if he's jumping off of something)
Nipples are nickles (as in - mommy you have big nickles)
He says Doc McStuffins like "docky stuffins"My nephew when he was much younger used to call toothpaste "pooptaste"
-
One of my favourites used to be when my 1.5 year said "kah" for milk. I think we emphasized the K sound too much so that's what he took from it.
-
LO1 used to say "I YUV whatever" instead of love. It was the cutest and the best. I miss it.
-
DD says thank you as danka. It's so cute.
-
I love this thread!
@Jess1483: Mine says "yub" for love
My 2 year old has some great ones. Every word starting with T or C is pronounced with an H: hain for train, heen for green. Mac n cheese is monkey cheese, and yogurt is "yobitch"
-
My oldest says "disdusting" instead of disgusting.
-
"Nanana" for banana
"Mook" for milk -
LO now plays chess and she calls pawn a pond.
-
My DD still has problems with the C sound. So snack is "snat". But my favorite is when she does it in French and says "totolat" (chocolate) and "toupay" (couper = cut).
-

DD (4) still mispronounces and I don't correct her bc it's adorable:
Umgwella = umbrella
pack pack = backpack
safety capped = handicapped
quesadeeda = quesadilla
washclub = washcloth
helmick = helmetDS (1.5) is just starting on the words but my favorite is that he doesn't quite say Grandma yet, but somehow he got it in his head that grandma is the same word as mama, but you have to growl it really loud. So he sees a picture of grandma and growls at the top of his lungs "mamaaaaa"
-
I remembered another one. "Kiwi" is "kee-nee" for some reason. Ha!
-
My 22 month old is obsessed with moons!! Loves them, asks you to draw them 24/7! But she pronounces it "h-ahm"...kind of like hum, but with an "ah" in the middle. I love it!
-
Cu ma bar = cucumber
Girl cheese/boy cheese = grilled cheese -
"Tomornow" is our longest running mispronounciation. I love it so much, our 7 and 5 year olds both say it. For a while the oldest also said "lastnighterday" which is more like it's own word. And our youngest called church "turch"
-
Love these! My 3.5 yo still says narbles instead of marbles. And not exactly a mispronounciation, but he's been saying "one for per customer"and I love it.
-
Up until this week, DD said "mulch" instead of "milk"!

My oldest:

But my new favorite is "scoop" instead of "scoot" when he needs to be pushed forward to the table
