To not correct my child's cute sayings

[diamondsrforever]

People keep getting on at me for not teaching my 3yo ds to say "I" and not "my", we also have an "armbow" and not an "elbow" and tend to find things "hunder" the table rather than "under" I find all of these really cute and think as soon as they've gone I've got none of my baby left, aibu to not correct him every single time!!??? I like it!! What little things do all your little ones say that make u smile each time

at 'fuck fuck' being a bit embarrassing!

We still have a 'cat nap' in the car (sat nav), a tejavillain that we watch programmes on, squirrels are still known as scribbles and helicopters as 'hepitars'

Dd4 still calls crocodiles crocodoodles. And ds2's favourite tv show is Oyag (Katie morag).

I used to say "nes" when I wasn't sure whether to say "yes" or "no". I think it's quite a useful word and should be adopted into the English language!

I miss my Ds 5 mispronouncing words , Its all part of growing up so enjoy it while it lasts

A few from my Ds -

Bimbumber - Cucumber

Babbit - Rabbit

Bomato - Tomato

Is it bad that I have only just noticed that they all seem to begin with 'B'

DD, 3.3 says 'cappertiller', 'abracajaguar' and 'shark teeth' instead of sharp teeth, which has a Joey Tribbianni, sort of twisted logic to it.

DD3 still calls Christmas 'Missmuss' at 4y

We eat Chinese food with drumsticks and very, very frequently willn't do things.

Honestly, we say the correct word, DD 2.9 says something else.

My son said 'lellow' right up until he could read his alphabet book and found yellow under the ys.

He took some convincing that the book wasn't wrong.

As for his version of marmalade??

My dd2 says chicken yoghurts instead of chicken nuggets and thinks bees don't go buzz they go beeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Also says christnas instead of Christmas. Dd1 used to say everything happened last morning and also had a habit of calling clocks cocks which wasn't as cute!

DD likes the film a little marmalade (Little mermaid) and DS has a really good remembery!

Love it!

I wouldn't worry too much, I'm proof they grow out of it even if you don't correct them.

My parents have several videos of me when I was about three and couldn't pronounce any sound other than "w" and "g" apparently. They made me sing Christmas carols for the video so there's a recording of me singing "Walking in a Winger Wongerwang". They were just sat there laughing away, making no attempt to correct me

These posts are too cute
Little children are just so sweet

Absolutely loving all of these, giving me lots of smiles on this miserable morning

I used to go to university, DS called it my "uni-nursery" :)

My daughter used to call our local cathedral "the princess castle" NO WAY was a ever correcting that!

My ds called diggers (which he loved) "big hands", My little brother used to call motorbikes "muckerbikes". He is now 22 and we all still call them that.

YANBU. They grow out of them anyway with or without correction.

Mine used to go upstairs after their bath to put their flippers on then come downstairs for trumpets. So sweet!

Yes you're not supposed to correct them so carry on enjoying it As long as you're not saying it back to them incorrectly it's fine

DS called puddles wuddles. He also used to say ambleeance and brussels' sprouts were mussel sprouts. He also somehow conflated this word with his testicles. I kept that one. I still refer to them as his mussel sprouts

Both my children have had problems with their hearing leading to some really funny situations.but some examples are carols like the little malteaser instead of the little lord jesus. bamputer, computer.
but the time my dd age 3 told a cinema queue that mummy loves cockporn is a day that still makes me laugh.

Ohh I also remember he used to call eyebrows "your browneye"

(In some parts of the UK "brown eye" is slang for bumhole)

DS1 got given a chocolate coin by 'Farmer Chrismas' at the garden centre last week

all of mine including the 8y old stil think butterflys are flutterbys even tho I say butterfly.

God yes plenty of time to be grown up. I love the cute sayings and can now only say binoclears now for binoculars.

far to much in a hurry to 'correct' kids now.

.

I love this. DS2 is 3 and the other morning said he would be having Chicken Pox for breakfast. He meant Coco Pops

DS1 went to school in his School Unicorn when he started reception. Me and DH said how cool would it be if the school actually had a School Unicorn!

Oh. They make me tear up just thinking about them (sob).

My youngest (nearly 8) still says "accident" instead of "accent" which I love. Particularly when he's talking about an "American accident".
