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.

DD (2.10) doesn't do words beginning with 'm' well so I am 'noggy' (mummy) and her soft toy monkey is 'nee-chee', she also pronounces 'f' as a shhhrr sound her foot is her 'shhhroot' for example but my favourite is 'fuffer-shhry' for butterfly Grin

DS1 likes 'Norman sandwiches' - 'not toasted just Norman please'.

DD (2.5) calls my bras "booby gloves". Love it!

JuniperTisane · 04/03/2015 22:58

Ds2 calls apples 'bapples'. Its very cute hearing him ask for bapple juice or bapple slice so now we all say it and I haven't the heart to correct him.

Aww love this post! Words from my DD (15 months)

Baboons = balloons, balls, anything round
Guppy = yogurt
Baggy = her comforter
Diddy = her dummy
and oddly when you say bum her only reply is Mama. Hmm!

MitMopse · 30/03/2015 18:22

These are so cute and funny!
Bikbik = biscuits
Blubies = blueberries
Reese = raisins
Chick chick = any bird except ducks
Happle = apple
Bapes = grapes

She's 21 months, most of the words she knows she says 'properly'. Looking forward to more vocab!

DD calls her belly button 'belly bum but' Smile

DD calls my breasts 'milks' as I'm feeding DS. Pretty accurate!

His willy is a 'wee-wee'.

My 4 year old (not quite a toddler I know) advised me Sunday morning that we were going to have hostages for breakfast. Huh? "Hostages mom - dad is chopping up hostages for breakfast".

oh sausages - yes darling BlushGrin

RachelWatts · 31/03/2015 09:05

Ds2 is just two, and we thought he had very few words, but recently realised that he consistently misses out the middle of words. So we have:

Meee - Mummy
Deee - Daddy
Dooll - Daniel (DS1)
Owl - apple
Chows - trousers
Naaa - banana
Yurt - yogurt
Door - dinosaur
Trex - Tyrannosaurus Rex
Tops - Triceratops
And - hand
Gox - socks
Doos - shoes
Crot - carrot
Cron - crayon
Guk - truck
