Does your toddler have...

[Phteven]

... a special name for strangers?
Last week my cousin Sam came to visit - Yasin thought he was fantasic and he stated calling him Moosh. I thought it was kind of odd but thought that maybe he had just misheard his name. Today we were at the slides in the park and a little girl came and played with them. yasin and her struck it off and I noticed that he was calling her Moosh too.

It's like if he likes someone but doesn't know thier name he calls them Moosh.
Does anyone elses toddler do this?

I can't even work out where he got the name from.

My little man is such an odd-bod sometimes lol.

Not that I've noticed, Matilda will often point to someone and say "Who's that Mummy?" LOL often its to a stranger in a shop & she's pointing at someone's face. I have to say "mummy doesn't know her/him. I don't know who that is."

LOL that's cute!

If DD meets someone and doesn't know their name she calls them "Girl!" and "Boy!" - even if they're my 30 something friends....slightly rude I think, we probably should address that!
