He kept saying what sounded like "have a good day" but it made no sense. He was actually saying "elevator".</p> <p>Now, at 5, my son calls the aquarium "the quarium" I think he thinks the "a" is an article. </p> <p>My daughter is 2 and still has difficulty with certain sounds, especially c and k. So chocolate sounds like totlet, and when she says it in French it sounds like toe-toe-la. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/funny-word-substitutes-your-preschooler-makes#post-2539377 Mon, 02 May 2016 22:32:13 +0000 ALV91711 2539377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 3 and was proud that he got his tercificate at gymnastics this weekend.
