Mimi used to say "fut" (sounds like foot) instead of "put." Like, "I'm going to fut on my shoes." I was kind of sad when she outgrew it.
Rosie refers to blankets as "slankets." I have no idea why, but it's kind of cute. We do try to model the appropriate sounds, of course, but it's still sweet.
My 21-month-old doesn't say a whole lot, but for a while she was saying "bop bop" instead of "beep beep." In response to car horns, electronic beepings, or us saying "beep beep." Then one day, she just switched over to "beep beep" and hasn't gone back to "bop."
Oh, she does say "no," also. (Though sometimes "yeah.")
Reminds me of the time I suggested to Curious Girl that she (after a little tiff with Politica) go say something to Politica that would put a smile on Politica's face. She turned around, ran up to Politica, and said, "yes!"
My kids - likely all three of them - have an inherited speech disorder and so I'm just used to people talking like that now. You mean it's not actually lellow?
Even my six year old can't say some things quite. The three year old gets hung up fairly regularly, but has begun saying (and it cracks me up), "I no know how to name that!"
Yep. We were three around here before we got that word down. I feel sorry for girls named "Yael." They are three before they can say their own names...

"I don't say that word." Is she a textbook toddler or what!?
ReplyDeleteWell, gotta give her credit for extreme self-awareness. And assertiveness. And you? You need a cocktail, methinks.
ReplyDeleteha ha! Smart girl!
ReplyDeletetruer words never spoken. ;)
ReplyDeletesomeone gave me a gingerbread house making kit yesterday, which of course made me think of your post. ;)
That sounds like our house -- my 4 year old say yell, but still insists on lellow. What gives?
ReplyDeleteMy son says "yellow" but always in a very tiny whisper. Other colors are at normal volume.
ReplyDeleteNeither of my children say "yes." Unless the question is "Do you want a cookie?"
My daughter (4 y.o.) still says "aminal". I'm already mourning the day she'll start pronouncing it correctly.
ReplyDeleteYellow is a weird word anyway. Bossy says, Who needs it?
ReplyDeleteLellow sounds like some yummy lemon confection. Perfect description of the color!
ReplyDeleteI love that she said 'I don't say that word." Slays me.
Oh, and my 4 yo still says aminal too.
And that is FINAL! Heh.
ReplyDeleteHa! Perfect. Those little sassers.
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny! What a clever girl.

Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteYou know, lately, I feel like I don't say "that" word either. I find myself saying "no" too often.
Love these little mother/daughter anecdotes.
That's a keeper!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the time I suggested to Curious Girl that she (after a little tiff with Politica) go say something to Politica that would put a smile on Politica's face. She turned around, ran up to Politica, and said, "yes!"
I love little kid language.
Aw. Lellow. I hate when they outgrown those little slips. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteLellow~!
ReplyDeletei say no, too. she's my secret twin.
ReplyDeleteWell you got told didn't you?
ReplyDeleteTo cute, for me. But that is because I am past that stage.
ALL I want to hear come out of my teens mouths are 'I say NO!'

She says 'fadder' for 'father' and I will be sad when she stops saying it.
ReplyDeleteHello mudder, hello fadder.
Long live the eternal 'no!'

ReplyDeleteOh, I love the little things kids say, the ways their little mouths can't quite get it right.
ReplyDeleteShe is wise beyond her years.
ReplyDeleteoh that's classic, very funny!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Classic!!

Yep. We were three around here before we got that word down. I feel sorry for girls named "Yael." They are three before they can say their own names...
ReplyDeleteThe "y" and the "th" sounds DO come late. But the "I don't say that word" shows how well those little wheels inside are spinning...
ReplyDelete'no'...heh. who teaches them that one, anyway?
