to be sad I have to correct my son?

[YourNewFriend]

Feeling sad that DS2 is a big boy at big school now :(

He is 4.3 and just started Reception. He has some lovely, cute 'wrong' words which we've not corrected up until now. He speaks beautifully but the odd mistake sounds so cute and once corrected they are gone forever. As he's learning to read I've had to give in and tell him the right words. :(

Tonight we've had to get rid of 'Humbrella' as we're practising U and the picture didn't match the sound

Anyone else pine after the day of cute toddler mistakes? AIBU to miss them?

DS, 2 and half is massive Peppa Pig fan and LOVES jumping in muddy cuddles....

oh, my eyes are really prickling at these

[lump in throat]

Mine:

bips = grapes
dock-lat big-shit = chocolate biscuit
Fuck Troller = Fat Controller (Thomas-related)
det donwwwwwwn = get down
an Owie = scratch/scrape

my mother is in her late 50's and still says numders!

DH(46) still says chimbley and Birningham !

I cried when dd stopped calling cucumber, cucamumber

Yes, after overhearing her friends witheringly correct her a couple of times I have accepted that my job is to let my 4yo know the real words. No more "can my have some?" or "Charlie and Looola" Although I did let "Trickldy Treating" slip through the net... too sweet.

Fortunately I have my 2yo with his 'fwoffa'(sofa) and 'tumtumber' (cucumber) and 'Here me am!" to amuse me.

These are lovely!

Dd2's version of Pocahontas still lives on in my nickname

Still in use in our house after 16 years - Weetabiscuits, Rice Kripsies and Creamed blind mice (Creamed Rice)

Ohhhh cucumber...

ds2 used to call it "Toomtumber!"

Ooh! Only just seen this thread. DS is 17mo and just starting to come out with some words.

AIBU to really look forward to his cute mistakes?!

DD has 'cumcumber' and one of my favourites, 'boozies' for gooseberries....

DD said "aminal" for a long time, even after she could read the words. She just read it as aminal, lol. Sge also used to call my sister "Menalie" instead of Melanie - think my sister was sad when she learnt to say it properly.

Octopupus
lellow

We are in this phase too. Just the other day ds2 corrected me from "breakus" to breakfast :(

I still remember when ds1 went from "airshadinner" to air conditioner.

For some reason, DD2 says 'complice' for 'police'. She is 5, I can't even remember all the other ones now...[sob emoticon].

DS (4) loves to tell me 'when I was a baby I used to say....' My favourite was 'ramport' for (car) transporter. He thinks these lapses were very funny and babyish. I'm glad he has a little sister to entertain me with her own for a while yet.

DS1 when he was small wanted an Aminal, I miss that but I miss Father PissMass more.

DS2 is 3 and he loves to eat
charne aka chilli con carne
last night my nephew 7 was really excited as we had a "bonfireworks party"

DS1 also loved Christmas declarations

Hey TLES

Hi MCP

Today my 4yo earnestly declared that she loves me "as much as marves"

Who is Marves?

"You know mummy, Marves - the big enormous planet in space".

Dd struggled with the letter F. so Fifi was ceecee, fish fingers were sish singers etc, We tried for months to show her how to position her mouth to say F, she 'got it' just before starting nursery in september. Have to say though was so embarassing walking through town with her in the summer holidays, her brother had made a flag at a summer club and he let her hold it, Dd merrily swing the flag around whilst singing ' I gotta slag, i gotta slag!

Oh and we still have Christmas Crescents here not presents!

my niece gets a mazagine from the newsagents every week.

:) at mazagine!

DS used to called raisins "raynoos" but he stopped.

He still wants to play "Doctors and Worses" though and glue is still "blue".
