Toddler (mis)pronunciations

[Angel78]

Ohhh my. These are fun. so far Kaitlyn's babble is so complex that I can only positively identify the ones that are closest to the original word! but here are a few that she has her own versions for.

Daah-tuh = Doctor (David Tennant only.. never mind)
Tee = Please
ay-yuh - Thank you
ah new = I know
ah doo noo = I don't know. Logically.
Ahh! Ahh! = Caw caw. She talks to crows. My fault. I talk to crows.
MEEEEEH = Moo. Her favorite animal word to date
ai ai = bye bye. Also night night
aooo = hello
Bort bort bort: The Swedish Chef.


oh, and kisses are not only the act, but must be accompanied by a loud "MmmWAH" as well. it counts as a kiss if she makes this sound anywhere near any body part of mine, dad's, the cat, the guinea pig, her stuffies, her blanket.....

LOL -- this is the case at our house too!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!

Here are few I've noticed in the last week or so.

buffo = hippo (he confuses buffalo and hippo)
ahind-be = behind me
fal-ily = family
wacaroni = macaroni... and he can absolutely say macaroni

Angel--ah new is so cute! And wacaroni! So adorable!

B has a new one: dirarour=dinosaur. I even caught it on video so I can remember it forever.

C's newest one is "kiki deedee". It took us days to figure out what the heck he was asking for. He was getting so upset, saying, " I kiki deedee! I kiki deedee!!!!" We were perplexed. So, finally I turned on the TV one morning during breakfast, and it turns out he is saying 'kiki deedee' in reference to this one cartoon he has seen called Jack's Big Music Show. The reason is b/c they have a segment that he loves on one particular episode where these 2 teenage boys play violins furiously, and he is obsessed... seriously... obSESSSEEEED with it. I had to DVR it b/c he now asks for it the minute he gets out of bed and ALL DAY LONG. (I limit the viewing - don't worry.) OH, and the reason it's called "kiki deedee" to him is b/c they say "string sting a ding ding" throughout the show. At least that is the only thing I can come up with....

Sometimes I swear we need an interpreter to tell us what they want. It must be so frustrating to not be able to get your ideas across!

ETA: the hilarious part is that he will pick up any "instrument" he can find, and pretend to play the violin too...at a freakishly fast pace. He has used straws, wooden spoons, leaves (outside), anything he can find. I actually got this on video one day, so maybe i'll be able to show you what i mean at some point....

Aw, how sweet! He just won my heart! (I play the violin)

[HeavenLeigh]

these are too cute.
E's words are
Dak=Darek
Gook Gook=Brooke Brooke *the poodle*
soot=Foot
Nanan=Ethan

Darek's were
Dick=Stick
Bitch=Pitch and ditch
Daredick=Darek

Dad once said "Well, bust my britches" Darek would go around saying "Bus me bitches"

[IUgrad02]

Ha, K! It seems like E's list is a little more innocent than D's. LOL!


Seeing K's list reminds me that C has an odd way of saying "oranges". He loves orange slices, and he wants them all the time, but he says it like "o-shis" which you can imagine comes out mostly like "oh sh*t".

He also dropped his book yesterday and said, "oh cap". I think he has heard me or DH say "oh crap". I think I need to think more about these things before they come out of my mouth.

No kidding. There's nothing like a child to let you know what you look/sound like yourself.

Lol, Megan! Yes, we really have to watch our language, now, and we have had discussions about what's okay & not okay to say. So now if we're out somewhere and we hear, "What the hell?" ds will say, "Why did that lady say 'what the heck'?" Lol! And he'll play little games with us, asking, "is it okay to say ______" just to find out what's okay.
