    She also thinks I miss you is same as I love you. It's so cute when she's been with you all day but comes up and says "I miss you mommy"

    My 3.5 turns everything into an adverb. aka "Can I tell you something sadly?" Or "I am so excitedly about that!"

    Forehead=headboard
    Elmo=Elbow
    Backpack =pack pack

    There are so many more but she is starting to say everything correctly and I am so sad

    @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.")

    Omg, these are so cute! A couple that I can remember right now:

    Jupitater = Jupiter
    roller poster = roller coaster (sadly she doesn't say this anymore)
    windown = window (ditto)

    Not a pronounciation, but when you ask DD (20 months) where her knees are, she fake sneezes.

  15. FaithFertility

    eggplant / 11861 posts

    Broccoli = wok-Lee
    Milk= Miltch
    Crib=Cib
    Giuliana her name = Jew-Nana

  16. 2littlepumpkins

    grapefruit / 4455 posts

    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.
