Forehead=headboard

@JoyfulKiwi: my 4.5 year old still pronounces remote control wrong and we don't have the heart to correct him. He says "rote-ma control" and has since he was under 2. Just don't want to correct him.
Other words which are currently mispronounced are:
Neverland= rev-e-land
Interrupting= dis-uh-rupting

Love these! My almost 23mo has a few mispronounced words I love:
-"traw-be-yay" for strawberry
-"bubbyfly" for butterfly
-"leggybut" for ladybug
-what sounded like "f*@#ing keno" for vacuum cleaner
There are more but I can't think of them right now.

Goldfish = cole-seesh
Ice cream = eye-keen
Ketchup = dup a dup (he's starting to pronounce this correctly but he used to say this because when we were teaching him to dip in ketchup we would show him and say "dip dip dip in the ketchup" so that morphed into dup a dup.")

Stah-beee = strawberry = lo2's favorite food.
The only ones I can think of that lo1 says is "alligator" for elevator and "escagator" for escalator, and she still has a little trouble with the r sound, but she's pretty much got everything else down!

Oh, yeah! My other favorite one is how DD says itsy bitsy spider: "ipsy pido".

I think my favorite mispronounciation has been "na na" for another. He still uses it at 3 years old and it is so cute to see hear a word he used when he first started talking.
He also called escalators "demos" for a while. I had no idea what he was talking about until he finally pointed it out to me. I have no idea why he thought it was called that, but it cracks me up.
He also calls cantaloupe "pineapple" for some reason. This has been really confusing because we have been buying both for weeks since there have been great prices and we like them. I always have to double check if he actually wants pineapple or if he means cantaloupe.
