Toddler names for things

Anyone want to share toddlers' odd names for things?

The other day DS described a miaow as a "cat woof". We also "turn the dark on" rather than "turn the light off".

DS used to call girls “mum-boys” and Elephants were “Womps”, even now at 3 he can say elephant, but will choose to say Womp 8 times out of 10 and I have no idea where it came from!

Kipps - crisps.
Waybayboo- wheelbarrow.

Not DS but as a toddler I used to call Vimto ‘tumty’. This has now stuck for about 34 years and everyone in the family calls it ‘tumty’. Ds used to call all birds ‘cock cocks’. Cue lots of laughter as he ran through the town centre shouting ‘cock cock’ at all the pigeons!
