I have just had the following conversation with ds (19 months)

[Miaou]

Him: (holding a toy sheep in each hand)

Me: Oooh what have you got there, ds?

Him: Horse.

Me: No they are sheep. SHEEP.

Him: Eeep

Me: Sheep.

Him: Peep

Me: Sheep

Him: Peesh

Me: Sheep

Him: Horse

[Tatat]

Soph that is sooo adorable, really made me giggle lots

DS 2.3 is quite good at talking but does say cute mixed up things
"Kiss" is "piss" which raises eyebrows when he's running after me shouting at the top of his voice "PISS! PISS! MUMMY PISS!" because he wants to kiss me

[PinkTulips]

sice meeting a baby with the same name as her at creche dd has decided all babies are named after her... including baby brother

we've also had the whole
'wabbit'
'no, cat'
'no! wabbit!'
'no, cat'
'NO! RABBIT!'
'no, cat'
'NOOOOOO! **WABBIT!'
'fine, it's a rabbit!'
'nice cat!'

[tribpot]

I've just gone through about four months of intensive work with ds (20 months) to convince him horses say neigh and not quack quack. He was adamant about it. I was reduced to singing "the horses on the bus say neigh neigh neigh" at every opportunity.

Have given up for the time being on the time-honoured question: "squirrels. They're just cats basically aren't they?" as he shouts "AM" (meow) at them in the park.

[ProfYaffle]

Had v similar with dd, she's nearly 3 and still says 'me' instead of 'I':

dd 'me hungry'
me 'can you say I?'
dd 'I'
me 'can you say I'm hungry?'
dd (astonished) 'you hungry mummy?'
me 'no, you'
dd 'me?'
me 'no, I'
dd 'you?'
me 'shall I make you a sandwich?'

[MiaWallace]

I've posted this one before, but I still think it's funny.

Dd wants to take her fuckit and spade to the beach

[PinkTulips]

lol wallace!

that reminds me... after hearing my mother saying pussycat dd now calls them...... yes, you've guessed it.... pissy cats!

[kitbit]

ds had a real problem with the "tr" sound for ages. On a flight home to visit grandparents (therefore cooped up with the same people for about 3 hrs) he kept waving his bright yellow lorry in the air and shouting "FUCK!!! FUUUUCK!! Mummy, FUUUCK! " much to the amusement of the 2 15 year olds sitting behind us!

[TeeCee]

LOL!

[kittylette]

these are my fave threads,

the best was soph's LO's cuddly melon pip

[jollymum]

Not exclusively mine but related..
I teach mucis to kids and we have songs about clocks....

Here goes..

We are aiming to prenounce and say each word precisely..

Tick Tock, Tick Tock..
My Daddy's big clock....

(aiming to teach fast and slow music/rhythms

But my nanny's little clock,
Goes Tick tock tick tock..

Awesome stunned silence on a trip to Spain, OMG 3 hours long, with beautifully anounceiated(sp?) word accompanying the song...over and over again, until Daddy (red faced and squiriming) decides to distract said child. Bearing in mind said child can't say the letter "L" and misses it out. Asks child what time it is, is it time for lunch etc etc and child sweetly announces that in order to tell the time Mummy has to get the
c(l)ock out because mummy can't tell the time without her c(l)ock. Whole plane by now is red faced and trying not to laugh .Dad gives up and just hopes that Jollymum hasn't taught his little munchkin any other songs with l or k in them

[Catbabymummy]

One of my brothers used to say lellow instead of yellow until he was about 7. It was soooo cute! We still wind him up about it now (he's nearly 27!).
Another cute thing dss used to do was say "Uv" which mean "I love you".
My friend's little dss overheard her mum using saying sh!t after she'd dropped a tin of beans on the floor, can you guess what happened next?

[Catbabymummy]

Sorry meant my frien'd dd!!! Typing with my thumbs again

[Twiglett]

DD is my doppleganger .. she's approaching 3

proof

I have been teaching her the 'pardon me for being so rude, it was not me it was her food, it came up high to say hello, and now its gone back down below' rhyme

Last week .. after sunday lunch DD pretended to burp and said

"Pardon me for being so rude, it was not me

It was Daddy's Fault"




ROFL .. that's my girl

[MiaWallace]

Twiglett your dd sounds fab

[Kateaw]

DD (two and a half) says Ephelant instead of Elephant. It's so sweet.

My husband's family still use "lilished" - finished, "eggys" - eggs and "nin nans" - bananas. The youngest child is pushing 27!

[Clary]

Oh these are lovely.

Agree you should write them down. Still treasure first conversation with DS1, almost 2 but not a great talker then:

DS1: Mummy
Me: yes DS, what is it?
DS1: Bye
Me: Oh yes DS, are you going out?
DS: Yes
Me: OK then sweetheart, bye bye, see you later.

It just makes me laugh because my input is so much greater than his one-word efforts! but that's how we learn isn't it.

[thethirdwisemonkey]

my ds is 22 months, I took him to the park last week and we were walking along the side of the pond with grandma. He got v.excited when he saw the ducks and started shouting Awwww fucks, quack quack, fucks, quack quack

[3andnomore]

lol...my ms is asking just now, why I am laughing...lol!

[Cocobabe]

thirdwisemonkey- lol ! yr thread gave me a big cheer !

[Iklboo]

Nephew (now 8) used to call flapjacks "japs flaps"

[wotzsaname]

LOL

'try and use the right worms!' that's what I say when dds get toungue tied!

[staceym11]

we have the whole

no chicken mummy
no its a pigeon
chicken
pigeon
chicken
ok ok a chicken
nice pigeon!

what is all that about??!?!

dd last xmas called decorations deckyraisins, which is so cute, but now she can say decoration!

[kitbit]

we just had i-keem with stawbees and spikkles on for pudding (I'm sure I don't need to translate, but just in case it was ice cream with strawberries and sprinkles on top!)

[podglet]

Am trying to read these out to DP and laughing too hard these are fab

DS is only 4 months so no contributions from him yet (but have made mental note to write them down as suggested)

My baby brother (now 22) used to say "hoogalan" and "psgetty" - hooligan and spaghetti. He also used to ask to go to the "early wurly centre" when we went into town...
