Does your toddler call certain things the wrong things?
T now calls his elbow his rainbow and I can't help but laugh when he says it.
-
Today Chloe told me she was "sooooo drinky!!!!" and it took me awhile to realize she meant thirsty!
-
Swami = salami from The Very Hungry Catepillar. I laugh every time!
-
He says scratch like "f*ck" which is pretty funny. And convertible car is "bubbalee car". Butterfly is "bellyfly". Toddler pronunciations are the best.
-
Noodle: noonles
ice cream: I cweam
Look: wook -
mommy = my
daddy = diewe use the Chinese word for dad - baba and he gets that right. When he was calling me "my" I'm like that's weird what would he say for daddy? and then "die" came out we laughed and said good thing we go with the Chinese version!
-
She says "favor" as "favorite." She asked me if I could do her favorite.
-
Yellow is Lellow. I love when she says that!
She also says "help you!" when she means help me. It cracks me up.
-
@sunny: My daughter also says "help you". I think it's because I'm always saying "can I help you?" and because when we show her herself in a mirror we say "that's you!" So she has her pronouns mixed up!
-
@sunny: My LO used to say help you, too. Haha. It's so cute and funny.
-
My favorite is "yogi" for yogurt.
-
He says "hold you" instead of "hold me."
-
When he wants to be carried up the stairs, he says "I carry you up Mama." I can't bring myself to correct him yet because it's just so cute!
-
Also "I wanna shookada" = "I want to look at the...." Say what?
-
@SeptMomma12: lol so cute. My son also says "mama I hold
You" when he wants to be held. -
@BandDmommy: same!
-
@SeptMomma12: hahaha.. My LO says the same.. It's so cute!!
-
@BandDmommy: @SeptMomma12: haha, same..."hold you?" "carry you?" for hold me and carry me
-
Umbrella sounds like "oh brotha"
The funniest is poon = spoon, as in "Mama eat poon?" when I'm eating with a spoon and I'm forced to say yes.
-
She confuses "twinkle" and "tinkle." "Mommy, I went a little twinkle in the potty!"
-
Also Cindarella is "cindaboolella". Lol
-
@MamaChin: LOL!
-
He yells "quack quack!" at the ducks at the zoo and at the park, except it sounds like "cock cock!", and then everyone stares at us
-
Bug = "Dude".
Butterfly = "Flutterdude".
Music = "Mumulls".
Water = "Glug Glug". -
Milk = kah
Clock = cock
Fox = fock ( sounds like f*uck)
syrop = buh-ba (not sure how he came up with that one)
water = utter -
@MamaChin: haha!!
-
My LO asks to "hold the mama" or "hold the dada." It's so cute!
-
Lilly called chocolate milk chicken milk for the longest time... always made me laugh!
-
This thread is so cute! We don't have too many words to mix up yet, but I'm loving the animal sounds she's working on these days!
What does a dog say? "woo woo"
What does a cat say? "mao" -
@californiadreams: hahahhaha...
-
C calls blankets "buddy". lol. She has a blanket and she's always "Where the buddy go?!"
-
My DD says the funniest things recently. I do have to translate sometimes but it's so cute!
Please = peace
I love you = I dub ya
Give me = gimme baby (she refers to herself as baby). So we're trying to stop calling her baby and just her name now -
My 2 year old also says "help you" instead of "help me" but my current favorite is that say says "no please" instead of "no thank you!" We get A LOT of "no please" these days-- definitely better than a straight up no though!
-
@californiadreams: We have the same thing over here "cock" = clock!
-
MALAMA = "grandma"
BUHBUH = "buddy" our yorkie
He mostly identifies animals by the sound they make even though he knows how to say their proper name.
-
Bussy for Bus and Shooook for her friend Luke.
Oh, and Szzooop for Soup....we may have helped her with that one, though. -
@shopaholic: D will rarely identify an animal by the name, it's always by the sound. With the exception of the sheep at the Fair last week, which he kept running up to going, "hi, cow...moo!" then running off and giggling.
@loveisstrange: I called my stuffed animals my buddies when I was little.
I said this on another post the other day, but it kills me. Our cat's name is Padfoot, but D is *insistent* on calling her Ahwah. No idea where it came from.
Fan/light - bai
Truck - bubut (but only pickup trucks...big rigs are busses) -
Socks are cocks
-
Pizza=poppits
Playgroup=grapefruit
Puffed wheat=hot dogs
Daniel Tiger=daga daga -
@mrskc: Mine says ee-goo for yogurt ... It's hilarious. She says other words so clearly but somehow that one got mangled
