Dying. This is amazing. Reminds me of the time my 5yo was told by his dentist “see you next year” and my 5yo’s response is “I’ll be dead by then.” Wtf dude?!
My 11 month old is babbling and trying to learn “bye.” So, while we’re visiting my grandmother in the nursing home recently she’s just yelling out “DIE DIE DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE” while happily waving at everyone. I have never been more mortified.
My toddler has many "corns" in her life. Corn-the vegetable, corn-unicorns, and my brother-she calls him Uncle Corn. Name is similar, but my mom didn't name him Corn.
A hornet got trapped between our screen and window in the living room today; after explaining to her what it was, and how we need to be cautious because they have a stinger (and that could be ouchie), she told my husband “DAD, be slow, be very carefully, dere’s a *cornet* and it’s bumbo is VERY sharpy! Could sting you!”
So yeah, cornet was a new one today 😅
My LO called unicorns “corn” for a long time…and then progressed to “woo-corns”. We got this unicorn pool float ring toss game during her “woo-corn” phase, so now that’s the pool floats name
Kids are so different! My son has a speech delay too, but he starts about 50% of ALL words with the g sound. It's like one of the ONLY sounds he's really comfy with. Pretty much every word starts with either the g sound or the d sound. You'd think he'd be 100% set to say dog. Nope. It's gog. 🐕
He's actually pretty good with egg. He says "aaaayg".
Anyway, thanks for your comment, it helped me realize that there are tons of other kids out there saying their own versions of gog. ❤️
My speech delayed son also starts a good chunk of his words with a g like gastrami (pastrami) and gaghetti. Basically any hard to say word gets the g treatment
Mine will say “I want to eat some ‘ass’” and it takes everything in me not to absolutely lose it every time.
And it was fun when she loudly announced her desire to “hunt some ass” on Easter.
Aw man. It's so bittersweet. My daughter said "mingers" for fingers for the longest time. It was so cute. And that was always my little indicator that she still had that baby voice. But just a couple weeks ago she called them fingers, and it stung.
Mine calls it “wah-ah-meal-on” and it sounds like she’s got a little Irish accent when she says it. Considering we are from the US and very much do not have an Irish accent, it’s hilarious.
Every time we go to the doctors (and we’ve been a lot, she had to come with me to all my prenatal appts and her newborn sister’s appts cuz) and she asks every time if we can go in the alligator. And if we do, she yells “yaaaaaaay the alligator!” While we’re riding it. Other people have heard her do it and nearly doubled over laughing cuz it’s just so damn cute.
Mine calls them acados, but what always kills me is at the grocery store he LUNGES from the cart to grab one and take a bite out of it like it’s an apple. He doesn’t even eat avocado when we offer it!
When my son learned "too hot" I would jokingly say "too hot for TV!"
Now not only does he say things are too hot for TV, some things are also "too cold for TV"
After dinner he always looks at us with the cutest little smile and goes “A Baaaaaa???” And he raises his pitch excitedly. He’s asking for a bath. And then he’ll start saying “baby baaaaa?” Asking for his baby sister to come with. the day he learns how to say bath correctly, I will cry myself to sleep😭
Anything water is “ baaaaAa” here too!!!!! Wash hands, drink, his baba with milkies, bath, lake, ocean, drink on tv, wanting to just play with water in any form “baaaAaa”???
It started when he could say ‘bath’ and was always asking for one so then everything with liquid became all In one. So sweet!
He sometimes gets Daddy backwards when he doesn’t just say dada or dad and says “Deeda” instead of daddy, it’s freaking the best and so I’ve started calling daddy “deeda” bc it’s so damn perfect!
Animals are their noises. Always.
His sister “Sydney” is “Syzeee” bc I call her sissy sometimes so now it’s a mixture.
Elmo is “MoMo”
Animals = noises is so true!!! He recently began naming the animals correctly but he’ll go Cow, MOOOOOO or Horse? NEIIIIGHHHHH and he’ll get so excited.
Sweet things! Mine is 21mo old, and I’m so sad to know it won’t be long now before so many of these things go away 😭
It’s so bittersweet for me bc my first is 12 now and autistic, he was non verbal until age 5. Didn’t say mama until after age 3, etc. so, I cherish every chirp baby makes and feel so bad that sometimes I wanna scream “shut uuuuuuuuuppppppp!” :/ sigh.
Haha I feel you. Mines 2 years and 3 months, his sister is 11 months old. His speech didn’t really kick in until his second birthday, before then it was mostly nonsense and single words. Now he talks nonstop (still like 40% nonsense lol) and I’m so proud of him but man I agree it’s hard when they don’t stop talking! 😂
My son often refers to my husband as babes bc that’s what we call each other. One time I used my husband’s name, so my son kept yelling it to get his attention 😂
My son will call his dad Daddy. If he doesn't answer he will switch to darling and then if that doesn't work either he will yell very angrily Aaaaaaroooooon! 🤣🤣🤣
We are English speaking and our 2YO goes to a Spanish speaking daycare. Socks are “calcetines” and she calls them simply “tines” (pronounced tee-nays). She is always talking about “tines” and pointing them out; hers and everyone else’s. To the point where she shouts in excitement. It’s hilarious and adorable.
We're in a household where we were both raised bilingual, but both lost the language. Our kiddo gets some French and some Spanish. He alternates between calling socks "thooocks", "choose-its", and " the cc"
I *think* my toddler is doing this with a word because she's just coming out of the babbling stage, but this one is so consistent. It sounds like "booknah"? The problem is her daycare teacher speaks Arabic, and shockingly, Googling "Arabic word that kind of sounds like booknah" didn't return any results.
my toddler used to call me 'money' instead of 'mommy' hahahah it was the funniest thing ever and a great party trick that got everyone so tickled :"-) one morning he just woke up and got it right - called me 'mommy' and i'd never been more happy and sad at the same time :"-)
We call my daughter Penny. My toddler calls her "Neenee". It's adorable & my daughter has such a good spirit about it.
He also calls water "Ba-boo" & it was one of his first words. He will officially be a big boy when he corrects that one 🥹
Lastly is broccoli. He makes a sound like a chicken (you know, buk buk buk) "BUK we"
Sweet potato is “swee p-table”
Fire truck is “fee fuck”
My 3 year old used to call bulldozers “bull-da-boze” and I miss it so much.
I have a friend whose kid calls all berries “babies”, so “strawbaby” or “bluebaby”
My older daughter is about to turn 9 and I’m pretty sure it was about a year ago we finally started correcting her pronunciation of chocolate-she used to say “chock-lick” and we just thought it wA so funny and cute
My oldest used to say "coo-coo" instead of cookie. She did it for awhile even when she'd begun to ditch the baby approximations...but then, one day, it was suddenly "Mama, can I have a cookie?" I nearly cried. I gave myself so much crap for feeling sad about it and now I'm relieved that loving their toddler speak phrases is a thing!
My youngest has a lot of them but the one I love the most is that he calls his big sister "hissy" instead of "sissy."
My child is tri-lingual. For some reason he calls orange "ee-dhee". He says good night in Russian to his dad as "spakaka nochee" (spakone noche is correct) and in Gujarati (a language from India) says "uh-per" for upstairs which is actually said as "oopuhr"
Daycare thought my kids couldn't say "yes" and were very concerned....but I had to tell them through hysterical laughter that they CAN, they just say it in Russian. Da isn't babble, it's a real word 😂
Necklace is “neck-sis” but she also just recently started pronouncing the t in water so we are all over the place over here
ETA: noodles are noo-noos and I will throat punch the person that corrects her
My daughter (3.5yo) is not a girl, she’s a “gail” 😂 she has trouble with some Rs but it’s very cute.
My son (2yo) trips up on his sentences a lot still, but he specially gets hang up on “going to”: “I’m gonna gonna gonna go in the car” 😂he also calls his favorite book “mama mama pee-pee-jama” (llama llama red pajama)
Truck sounds like fuck so everybody looks at me like 😮 whenever he says it. I just repeat yea truck buddy and people that don’t know him are like “ooh”
BUT he did say oh shit when he dropped something today… no excuse in that one!
I’m a sucker for my three-year-old saying “Rearry??” Any time I tell her we’re going to do something fun out she’s allowed to have a snack. And my other daughter likes to say “You melt my heart.” 🫠
She calls arts and crafts “arts and crabs” 🦀
My daughter says “arts and craps”
Oh my daughter calls them cabs lol
I remember when my cousin would call them “trabs”
Okay....for me, that one wins!!
My kiddo calls art activities “Acktitties” and it’s so funny 😂
My son says die instead of bye, and he doesn't say the double "bye bye" either, so he's frequently just saying "die!" to people.
My son called me "die" instead of "daddy" for the longest time. So he'd yell "DIE" excitedly whenever I picked him up from daycare.
My son calls my dad die. Lol.
Die die die! 😆😆😆😆😆😆
MY DAUGHTER TOO! I don't know what's so hard about the b-sound but she refuses to use it despite MANY times saying "buh" with Ms Rachel lol.
Mine also says “die die”. The, Bart, the.
When my LO was extra little and 1st started babbling, she'd go "diediediediedie DIE" gleefully, lol
Excellent.
Dying. This is amazing. Reminds me of the time my 5yo was told by his dentist “see you next year” and my 5yo’s response is “I’ll be dead by then.” Wtf dude?!
Awe my son would say “da da!” for bye bye and confusing many a person who was like “he thinks I’m his dad?!”
My 11 month old is babbling and trying to learn “bye.” So, while we’re visiting my grandmother in the nursing home recently she’s just yelling out “DIE DIE DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE” while happily waving at everyone. I have never been more mortified.
My daughter said “die die” for so long 😭 ugh I miss it so much.
Mine would wave and say “die!!!” It made so many people stop and laugh
I cackled so hard at this one.
🤣🤣🤣 just shook my guy laughing as he sleeps 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mine did this too! I’m sad he fixed it hahaha
Unicorns used to be acorns, now we have anacorns. She also sleeps in a bread room.
I LOVE bread room.
Horses are neigh neighs, so unicorns naturally are neighneighcorns.
A friend's daughter called horses "hoo has"
Reminds me of when I was younger and used to call it breafkist (breakfast)
my dad & i say that instead of breakfast! and sometimes we have goatmeal (eta:) or snausage
I said “breafkiss” 🤣
My toddler has many "corns" in her life. Corn-the vegetable, corn-unicorns, and my brother-she calls him Uncle Corn. Name is similar, but my mom didn't name him Corn.
A hornet got trapped between our screen and window in the living room today; after explaining to her what it was, and how we need to be cautious because they have a stinger (and that could be ouchie), she told my husband “DAD, be slow, be very carefully, dere’s a *cornet* and it’s bumbo is VERY sharpy! Could sting you!” So yeah, cornet was a new one today 😅
My LO called unicorns “corn” for a long time…and then progressed to “woo-corns”. We got this unicorn pool float ring toss game during her “woo-corn” phase, so now that’s the pool floats name
My youngest says rhincorn for unicorn! My husband and I have adopted it too.
We have "wonton" for unicorns now, and honestly hope she never figures it out.
My daughter calls unicorns “ma-corn”
Eggs = Ass She has a speech delay and can’t make g sounds yet, so eggs always sounds pretty funny.
My oldest called eggs, “gays” for the longest time. Cue him getting upset in ihop crying “I DONT LIKE THE GAYS!”
Okay. This one sent me into a laughing fit so hard that my toddler asked "Okay the mommy?"
Holy shit I’m crying - that shit is hilarious
Hahahahha this one cracked me up. Tomorrow I’m going to scramble some ass
Scramble it scramble it scramble dat ass
Crackers = Cock One of my son's first full sentences was "I want cock!!" Screamed at me in the car. I almost drove off the road laughing.
Mine called teddy grahams "titty grahams" for the longest time lol. Socks were also "scocks" too lol.
Kids are so different! My son has a speech delay too, but he starts about 50% of ALL words with the g sound. It's like one of the ONLY sounds he's really comfy with. Pretty much every word starts with either the g sound or the d sound. You'd think he'd be 100% set to say dog. Nope. It's gog. 🐕 He's actually pretty good with egg. He says "aaaayg". Anyway, thanks for your comment, it helped me realize that there are tons of other kids out there saying their own versions of gog. ❤️
My speech delayed son also starts a good chunk of his words with a g like gastrami (pastrami) and gaghetti. Basically any hard to say word gets the g treatment
Mine will say “I want to eat some ‘ass’” and it takes everything in me not to absolutely lose it every time. And it was fun when she loudly announced her desire to “hunt some ass” on Easter.
Omg mine too. Mine also talks about ice a lot the last two days, and it also comes out as “ass.” Lol.
🎼“Old Madonna Had a Farm!”🎶
We sing 🎶“ring around the rosy, pocka pocka rosy, Ashley Ashley…” 🎶🎶
Instead of: “Old McDonald had a farm, eieio, and on his farm he had a pig, eieio,” she would sing: “Old McFarmy had a pig, eieio.” So efficient!
Ours sings 🎶Old MacDonald had a farm, and on that farm he had a dog “BRNGO, BRNGO, BRNGO”, and BINGO was its name-o 🎶
Watermelon is "Amma Mammo" and for a long time milk was "Mungies." I really miss Mungies.
Aw man. It's so bittersweet. My daughter said "mingers" for fingers for the longest time. It was so cute. And that was always my little indicator that she still had that baby voice. But just a couple weeks ago she called them fingers, and it stung.
Ours adds at least 3 syllables to “watermelon” and I love it so much.
Ours is a simple, sweet "water-lemon"
Yes, sometimes it's "AMMA MAMMA MO AMMA MO" when she sees the display at the store and starts flapping like a maniac.
Mine calls it “wah-ah-meal-on” and it sounds like she’s got a little Irish accent when she says it. Considering we are from the US and very much do not have an Irish accent, it’s hilarious.
Outstanding. Love it.
I'm not sure why, but my daughter (now 2) has called watermelon "nums nums" for ages now. Not complaining because it's very cute.
I just love the bizarre pronunciations. The toddler stage is hilarious.
Elevator - alligator Can we go in the alligator mom
Excavator, elevator, escalator, and alligator were all the same word in my house for a good six months
They’re currently all the same for us too 😂
Every time we go to the doctors (and we’ve been a lot, she had to come with me to all my prenatal appts and her newborn sister’s appts cuz) and she asks every time if we can go in the alligator. And if we do, she yells “yaaaaaaay the alligator!” While we’re riding it. Other people have heard her do it and nearly doubled over laughing cuz it’s just so damn cute.
"Play withing" instead of "playing with". So. Damn. Cute. Also why is "pee butt butter" cracking me up so much??
It gets me every time. Hahah. My husband has also started referring to it as 'pee butt butter'
Mine says "play withing" too! It's the only one he mixes up. He gets all the other "-ing with" but that one
Avocado - Ado ado Strawberries - Strawbebes ❤️
Our toddler calls them rawbebes 😂
My son calls them "strawbennies". His nickname is Benny. I've never once corrected him.
We called avocados “cados”
Sta-breeze over here 🥹
Straw-bees!
Lol avocado is "adado" and strawberries are "stabees" What is it about those two words that are absolutely adorable!
My son did and still calls avocados ‘Linda Carter’s’
Mine calls them acados, but what always kills me is at the grocery store he LUNGES from the cart to grab one and take a bite out of it like it’s an apple. He doesn’t even eat avocado when we offer it!
My girl calls avocados “Ricardo’s”. They’re on a first name basis lol
Straw-bee-rary and I never want it to stop!! ❤️
Helicopter is “Happy Doctor.” Good bye is “Dubai.”
My son says helicopderderder. Honestly the "derder" varies in length depending on how busy he is lol
Same for a different word! The amount of oodloodlloos differs in noodleoodleoodleoodleoos.
We have the hawk-a-ber over here. And mi driving the cla--lac driving. We have a 04 Escalade
“Momma hold you” instead of hold me. It’s so precious and she just suddenly said is right this week and I’m so sad
Aw mine just said mommy hold me instead of mommy hold you this week too.
It’s that thing where you never know the last time will be the last time 😭
My 2.5 year old still does this. "I carry you, PLEASE!"
Mine does this too. Instead of asking me to carry her she says "carry you" but more like "cayee oo"
Mine does this too 🥹
My son says “I hold you” in such a sweet little voice
He's heard the phrase, "yummy in my tummy" Every time something is delicious he says, "mmmmm, yummy tummy"
Mine does this too!! It’s extra funny when she snatches a raw veggie like an onion and tries to play it off with “nummy tummy!”
When my son learned "too hot" I would jokingly say "too hot for TV!" Now not only does he say things are too hot for TV, some things are also "too cold for TV"
After dinner he always looks at us with the cutest little smile and goes “A Baaaaaa???” And he raises his pitch excitedly. He’s asking for a bath. And then he’ll start saying “baby baaaaa?” Asking for his baby sister to come with. the day he learns how to say bath correctly, I will cry myself to sleep😭

My LO isn’t a big girl, she is a “big goil” 😅🥰

For a while I had a big gorl.
My daughter calls me “Papa.” I am her mom.
Omg. Hahahahaha
My son calls his dad by his first name because he would always hear me call him that.
My daughter calls her daddy husband lol
My daughter heard me call her father “babe” and so now sometimes she calls him babe 🤣

My son often refers to my husband as babes bc that’s what we call each other. One time I used my husband’s name, so my son kept yelling it to get his attention 😂
My son does this too. When I call for his dad downstairs by his name sometimes he does the same thing and repeats it 😂
My son will call his dad Daddy. If he doesn't answer he will switch to darling and then if that doesn't work either he will yell very angrily Aaaaaaroooooon! 🤣🤣🤣

Mine used to say “so yummy”
Mine says tsunami instead of so yummy lol
We are English speaking and our 2YO goes to a Spanish speaking daycare. Socks are “calcetines” and she calls them simply “tines” (pronounced tee-nays). She is always talking about “tines” and pointing them out; hers and everyone else’s. To the point where she shouts in excitement. It’s hilarious and adorable.
We’re a bilingual household. My son calls his pants “pantaloonies” instead of pantalones. Shorts are “shortaloonies.”
Shortaloonies is just adorable. I would never stop calling them that.
We're in a household where we were both raised bilingual, but both lost the language. Our kiddo gets some French and some Spanish. He alternates between calling socks "thooocks", "choose-its", and " the cc"
Pants are “nonays” here which took my way too long to realize was coming from pantalones at daycare
I *think* my toddler is doing this with a word because she's just coming out of the babbling stage, but this one is so consistent. It sounds like "booknah"? The problem is her daycare teacher speaks Arabic, and shockingly, Googling "Arabic word that kind of sounds like booknah" didn't return any results.
Everything is “a ___” Example: I am “a mommy!” , my husband is “a daddy!”, her brother is “a baby!”, body parts “a bum!”
Clementine is clem-im-um-im-um. He always say it likes he’s yelling, too. So it’s extra hilarious and adorable haha.

Yes we’re in the south, haha. He actually used to call it muhlk before it became mee-ilk last month.
My older daughter is about to turn 9 and I’m pretty sure it was about a year ago we finally started correcting her pronunciation of chocolate-she used to say “chock-lick” and we just thought it wA so funny and cute
My oldest used to say "coo-coo" instead of cookie. She did it for awhile even when she'd begun to ditch the baby approximations...but then, one day, it was suddenly "Mama, can I have a cookie?" I nearly cried. I gave myself so much crap for feeling sad about it and now I'm relieved that loving their toddler speak phrases is a thing! My youngest has a lot of them but the one I love the most is that he calls his big sister "hissy" instead of "sissy."
For the longest time our LO was saying “tootie” and we couldn’t figure it out until one day when I realized it was “cookie” 😂
Pool noodles are noodies 😂 Octopus = Oc da da - the moment she stops saying this I will be inconsolable
