I remembered another one that we still use:
lady-tards = leotards

[BMG580]

My DD calls merry go rounds "miracle rounds". I just love that!

Haha! My DS says something very similar, only it sounds more like "dinangnal."

He uses the phrase "at one whole same time" quite often too, which cracks me up.

[Surfacing]

"tai cheese" for tai chi
"papa-yaya" for papaya

[trebleme]

We've had quite a few, too, including:

pinano for piano
lellow for yellow
cucuberra for cucumbers
fock for fork - that one got us into some trouble with people who didn't understand my daughter!

And one of my faves was how my now almost 3 year old used to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep. It went something like:

"Baa baa back sheep, have you many moo
yessa yessa fee bag foo
one fo ma masta and one fo my dane
one fo the uddah one we have lotsa fun
baa baa back sheep, have you many moo
yessa yessa fee bag foo."

Cracked us up EVERY time! : I was so bummed when she actually started singing it "correctly." We'd even stop her sister from correcting her to try and keep that version around!

noonies for noodles

bukie for kombucha

and loonie for luna the moon

so cute!!!

[Picard]

latatek = elastic (band)
krittay = kitty
lalala-pah =cantaloupe
promma = piano

[_betsy_]

When DD first recognized steam coming out of a smoke stack, se called it "Big hot."

She plays Keepaboo (not Peekaboo) with the baby. Adorable!

[peaceful_mama]

Light up bugs. You know, fireflies. Lightening bugs.

DD has "Strawberry BirfdayCake" panties (Strawberry Shortcake)

We eat "sammitches" We watch "Sepame Steet"

And DD learned how to "Wide mine bike" today (she now knows how to pedal her little bike!)

"I goin outside to wide mine bike"

and about 75 times a day I hear "I want canny" "Yes, I NEEEEED canny" looool (candy)

Today she said "I a pwincess, pwincess yike my haiw" (we were washing her hair, she's a princess with nice, clean hair .."I'm a princess, princess like my hair" Hair that eventually had Elmo, Cookie, and Abby Cadabby hair bands holding it in "piggytai-o-s")

Yesterday she had an ice cream cone and saw baby brother going for it "Want some toys?" (grabs armful) "Hewe Zahir-eee, too much toys!"

the way she adds that little "ee" to the end of her brothers' names, like she's baby-talking to them, like a little pet name, the 4 year old hates it, I think it's adorable to both

DD says "lasterday" for yesterday. She also still periodically slips and says "got-for" instead of "forgot" I have no idea why she does that one.

My almost 4 year old says mine instead of my and it's so dang cute. So he'll say something like, "Where mine book?" and I'll say "Yourn book is right here!"

"Lasterday" makes so much more sense! And I loved "restarnaut"!!

Tonight DS said "Mar-balls" instead of "Marbles" (which I think makes more sense!)

He puts -ey on the end of everything - he rides his "scootery" and if he's tipping over, he'll say "tippery!"

He calls edamame "pop-em-beans"

He is obsessed with clocks and will say "The clock is stopped - it doesn't go ticking tock anymore."

[loraxc]

"More muhmayno?" = "More tomatoes?"

"More wah-fuh-fuh-wah-fuh?" = "More waffle?"

"More chewy-ewy-ewy-ewy?" = "More cherries?"

DD is 5 and still talks about being "maked" (naked).

[mysticmomma]

unscuddy= covered up
updeap= buckled up
skoopy= spooky
scopy scopy= scrubby scrubby to get washed

[chrislancaste]

Choppies= Strawberries
BooBoo Nerse= Nursing
Noonles= Noodles
$hit= Sit. That one is still hilarious.
ALL-Keen= ice cream

[borobaby]

Yo-Yo for yogart!
mannymannymanny for Handy Manny!
Dear Dod for Dear God!

[springbabes]

I just remembered one from my son--he used to say "drinky" instead of "thirsty." I thought it was so cute I never corrected him.

[Aubergine68]

Slippily for slippery.

Strawbears for strawberries

Today in the thrift store, ds3 insisted on carrying with them and called it his "curse" the whole time. "Mommy, you gots my curse? I gots money in my curse! Where my curse? I gots a curse like you, mommy!"

[AutumnAir]

Tikky-tak - kitty cat
Doodoo - dirty (but it's the way she scrunches up her face and pouts her mouth right out to say it that gets us!)
And for a couple of weeks she used to say 'oosh' for shoe. That one melted my heart, but it's already gone...
Though it sounds like I have plenty more to look forward to!

[AutumnAir]

Double post - ooops!
