amusing toddler generated names for things

When ds was about 20m he started referring to his blankie as 'fwottie'. I checked many times with him, 'do you mean froggy?'but no, it is definitely fwottie. The blankie has a little elephant on it and he can say elephant so I can only conclude he's just created his own name for it. It makes me chuckle and I'd love to hear your other random toddler names for stuff.

a squirrel is called a squiffel

Weegiemum · 03/12/2013 02:12

My dd1 used to often ask for "hanunu ogrit" - another yoghurt.

I still remember the walk we were on when she said "another" properly.

We still eat ogrits. And bikkits (ds). To dd1, fire engines said "naw nee". To ds, they said "naw".

They don't like me telling people as they're now 13.10 and 11.10.

10yo dd was totally articulate - no funnies at all.

ThomasLynn · 03/12/2013 02:29

We have
Meeyulk for Milk
Tinna for Tuna
Kissmitee for Christmas Tree
