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

podglet spaghetti is one of the harest words to say, apparently.

When Kirk Douglas was recovering from his stroke he found it really hard to master as his speech returned.

DS1 (7) still says "bisetti" or "sgetti"

[Marina]

Dd says pasketti too (she's 3)
I love these endless toddler brain-frying exchanges. Dd is just growing out of them and this smashing thread reminds me of how much I'll miss them .
We are now in the world of the imaginary friend though. Dd's is called "Eh".

[nally]

ds (aged 3) spent some time looking at his uncle one day, then very slowly said "you have a very small brain". not sure why he said it or what made him think so, but we all fell about laughing

[carol3]

dd 3 cant say spaghetti and has now given up trying and calls it long pasta

[carol3]

ds used to park kark for carpark

[nally]

ds calls spaghetti 'sucky pasta'

[carol3]

dd2 thinks its funny to call me by my first name instead of mummy but she can't do c's so calls me darol

[wrinklytum]

ds to me earlier

"mummy,when DD is bigger will she grow a willy?"

[chipmonkey]

When my brother was little he was unable to make the "k" sound so as we walked along the road he used to say
"teep in, tar tummin' "

[AitchYouBerk]

i've already posted about how dd pointed at me in the bath and said 'teddy', which was a kick up the arse to get the immac out. recently, however, she's started doing her elephant impressions when she sees DH naked. i think he's flattered, the goon.

[hunkermunker]

DS1 wanted to "buy Mummy some uncles at the shops" earlier - he has four uncles and I said I had none [melt]

[AitchYouBerk]

aaaaw.

[MiaWallace]

PMSL at your dd Aitch

[yacketyblah]

Oh so it's not just my DD! She has a toy castle with play figures, including a dragon. So now whenever we're out and about and she sees a church she says 'it's a castle', I say, no it's a church
"Castle"
"Church"
"Castle"
Ok its a castle
"it's got a dinosaur on it".

Can't wait to show her a real castle..

[soph28]

A few months ago ds was in the bath and the conversation went

Me: Where's your belly button?

DS: Pointed to his willy

Me: No, that's your willy

DS: BIG willy!

It was hilarious and he was only 20mths and already a typical man.

We had the whole melon pip thing again today except it was a tiny stone in the bottom of the nappy bucket and apparantly it was a cow! What an imagination!

[Miaou]

LOL at all these stories

A wee update - ds can now sort of say sheep - but obviously this comes out as "shit" much to the dds amusement

He can also say "shut oop" to the dog when she whines (in a great broad Yorkshire accent )

[liath]

My sister has been really dilligent at teaching her ds to say please & thank you. I gave him some water the the other day and he said "Fuck you auntie " with a beaming smile. All she needs to do is work on his pronounciation .

Dd calls squirrels "shool-yoo-yoos" which is so cute.

[MAsMummy]

My 2.10 old has been going through the annoying stage of asking why all the time to the point where it is no longer a question but a test as to how long it can go on for before I snap! I have now come up with a solution which is that she now knows if she is just being silly I will answer "because there are pink elephants dancing in the garden" The other day however she flumexed (is that a word?) me with "why do I keep asking you Why Mummy" Does anyone have answer for that?

[cane]

DD1 (2.9) trod on a tiny bit of broken glass in the kitchen and on seeing blood, asked why she had wine coming out of her foot

[LowFatMilkshake]

In chaging room today of shop looking for dress for party, DD(3) watching me in very loud voice:

DD: mummy why you taking off your jacket?

Me: I want to if this pretty dress fits me

watched me take of my top
DD: mummy take of your top for me

watched me take of my shoes and trousers
DD: take of your shoes, now take of your trousers for me.
Then silence as I took the dress of the hanger

DD: Mummy why you keeping your knickers on?



Glad it was women only chaging room!

[losty]

my ds2 stll has a muyslin - he calls it hsi cow

[totallyfloaty35]

my dd always washed her hams with soak then put on her glubs
Her best one was stickyfoot for certificate,its still called that now(7 yrs later)

[LowFatMilkshake]

carol3, I used to say parkark and barruhb.

When DD was about 2 if it was raining she would say it was minging

And we are a sci-fi household and she used to call Star Wars...Star whores

[boo64]

Ok conversation with ds (20 months) today:
(Ds looking at Des O'Connor on Countdown) 'Daddy there'
Me: No ds that's not daddy that's Des O Connor'
DS: 'Daddy there, there daddy there' - pointing at Des

Dh should be worried about this resemblance I think...
