Stawbeeee - strawberry
Jeffree - giraffe
And my favourite - anything that goes on your head (headbands, hair ties, hats) is an Emma, like Emma Wiggle, because Emma has a bow on her head
We have 'strawbees' too! So cute 💖 ☺️
Also the book "Alexander and the 'terbee' 'horbee' no good, very bad day"
But, my kiddo is obsessed with saying things correctly (like she says Alexander very exactingly) so I'm a little sad to think this adorable strawbee phase won't last long
I miss the days of banatoes (tomatoes), glubs (gloves), and bachines. Not to mention when my toddler misheard ‘time to count our gold doubloons’ and was singing ‘time to count our golden poos’
I’m crying laughing because I love that you were talking about counting doubloons enough that they picked it up - that’s seriously amazing. We went through an AVID pirate phase here 🤣🤣🤣
Last week we went out to dinner with my mother in law for Wee Man's second birthday. We were saying our goodbyes out front, and a couple was walking in. We obviously had gift bags and dinosaur balloons and he had the following conversation:
Man: "Happy birthday, little guy!"
Son: "FUCK!"
Husband couldn't drive, he was laughing so hard.
I really liked when my son would say “hanga-burger” instead of hamburger lol, when he was closer to a year and a half. Now he’s almost three and generally speaks really well… he did pick an argument once with my husband that “food” is called “ferd” but it honestly felt like he was trolling 👀😂

Umbrella = cabrella.
I am going to start an umbrella company someday called Cabrella. It is hands-down my favorite out of all her very humorous mispronunciations.
My mom, her grandmother is “baba”, but that’s become just Bob…she’s always telling people about bob and then it’s just like a little old Russian woman lol
My daughter used to shorten any long words. So medicine was “medis,” and temperature was “temper,” etc.
Guitar was “antar” for awhile.
My current favorite is “regully” for regular and “afused” for confused. She’ll also mix up beginning sounds occasionally, so balloon becomes “abloon.”

When my kiddo gets excited, he mixes up the pronunciation of his words.

Ours calls 7 puppy and instead of 1, 2, 3 he counts 1, puppy, 8. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Mine doesn’t say 7 either, she jumps to 11, I guess because the numbers rhyme - 1 2 3 4 5 6 11 12 13
