My 2yo has been loving the rain lately, because we can jump up and down in "muddy cuddles" like Peppa Pig. My 4yo has been watching Toy Story 3 and pronounces Bonnie with an American accent like in the movie, so it sounds like Barney to me. I have tried to correct her but she insists it's Barney.

I remember 2 of DD1's classics - "oosegower" for screwdriver, and "flapping-ingo" for flamingo, she was not yet 2! DD2 was reading the Hungry Caterpillar and said that he was in a "clitoris" instead of a "chrysallis", DH & I wet ourselves at that one! This post has been edited by zande: 19/04/2012, 09:59 PM

Another one I was reminded of today: "Iffins Uffins" is what my 3yo calls "Ear Muffs"!

Oh! also remembered: jumpaline (trampoline) and glue tack (blue tack) - both make perfect sense to me!

QUOTE (beccaj @ 19/04/2012, 12:03 PM) My Dd is 4 and currently walking around singing "We all live in a lellow sumbarine, a lellow sumbarine" Haha. Reminds me of ds who used to sing " yellow ass-amine". He also used to say "anow" for orange whic strangely dd does too!? We live near a park called Fagan Park and ds would regularly ask to go to the Fa'kan Park

My DD2 called her nipples 'blueberries' once. We still call them that now. Both girls were very excited last year as flower girls when they got to go to the wedding in a stretch 'limbo'.

My DS is five but still has a couple of hang over mispronunciations from his toddler days that we should probably sort out at some stage - too cute though! He says 'aminal' instead of 'animal' and 'hopsital' instead of 'hospital'. He also calls medals 'metals' for some reason and now his four year old cousin does too! When he was very small he called his Grandad 'Daddit' which was soooo cute.

rockadackle - crocodile, I hope nobody ever teaches him the correct pronunciation, I love rockadackle. Somebody taught him that grapes aren't balls, I used to love that when he asked for "little balls"

DS tries to say 'crash' when he bangs his cars together, but it comes out as 'crap'. Makes me giggle every time!
