Does this effectively hide my thunder?
My favourite at the moment is loos-a-ly for museli.

Miss R could never say 'can't'. It would always come out as 'I c*** do that'

Thankfully she can pronounce it properly now - it used to be quite embarrassing at times. Especially when she'd say 'you can't!'. blush.gif

Bu teh best is his cousin Conor(4) is pronounced as Coc*er - cracks us all up everytime - he is quite obsessed with cousin Conor so says it A LOT - and YELLS it out in many public places when he can't keep up with hsi cousin

Doink!
I complimented DS (2.5) on how well he followed my directions.
I was glad no one was around to hear him attempt to say it, as it came out much closer to "erections"

We were outside looking at the stars as my eldest son (2) has an obsession with the stars and the moon. It was quite early and I pointed to the evening star and said 'that star is called Venus'. The next night when we were outside, DS pointed to a star and said 'Mummy, that star is called Penis' laugh.gif

A duck goes 'f*** f***' instead of 'quack quack'.

He calls his younger brother (Hugo) YoYo. We all call him YoYo now so I hope for his sake it doesn't stick!

He calls my breasts Bobos and the other day said:
DS: Mummy those are your Bobos.
Me: No, these are called breasts.
DS: Yes and YoYo eats them.
Me: Hugo has milk from Mummy's breasts.
DS: No this one has milk and this one has juice!

Oh they are so cute and I don't want it to stop!

We went for a walk yesterday and I was telling DS (2.5) the names of various plants as we passed by them.

I pointed out an agapanthus and he called it a 'baggypantsus'
roll2.gif I thought it was utterly brilliant!

Dd will give almost any word a go, even if it is well above her speaking ability. When she was about 18 months she was raving on about the "bylabm". Took us ages to figure out it was the trampoline.

She also couldn't say sylvanian families. She used to call them syl-byzalin families. Now we call her byzalin to,tease her original.gif. Probably scarring her for life.....

Ds's funniest word issue was submarine, which he used to cal "ass-amine"

My Andrew calls himself doo doo, and I am currently trying to teach him to pronounce Diego, correctly. Pointing at the picture of the mexican looking kid in the book in bigW and saying "dago" is not ideal!
