    Haha, so cute!

    DS calls me 'mimi' instead of mummy - no idea why, but he always has.
    For drink he just makes a slurping sound, and for sleep he makes a snoring sound, lol.
    Yogurt is 'gogo'
    He calls my brother (Daniel) 'Doug' - which we like better and have now adopted!

    There's probably heaps more, but I can't think right now.

    Cute!

    My little girl says her words very clearly and talks a lot so I can't list them all, too many to count!!
    But lately she has been saying "baboons" for balloons...she just can't pronounce it it's sooo cute

    My little girl doesn't talk very clearly and spends a lot of time makng her words up, and talking in Jazz-lish, so a lot of the time I smile and nod and so I can't list too many of them as I am still learnign Jazz-lish

    But I hope these ones make you giggle, since this is a thread about toddler speak
    Jazz calls puzzles "pea-seas" (pieces - like pieces of a puzzle). "Come on mummy, pee-seas! Do the pea-seas!"
    "Stickty" is glue or sticky tape or stickers.
    "Ditches" are photos, or pictures, and this is usually said when she is shoving my mobile at me and wants me to switch it to camera mode so she can take photos!
    She also insists on calling out cat 'Dutchy' when her name is Chunky. This one has stuck, and we usually call her Dutchy now too hahahaha


    She also points and says "No mummy! Stay! STAY!" if she doesn't want me to help her do something. She definitely spends too much time with her dog! hahahaha

    puggles = puzzles
    Wolwy - could mean Roley (from Bob the Builder), Wall-e (the movie) or lolly. We still haven't completely mastered L
    dunk = sauce ... coz you dunk stuff in it! We just call it dunk now too

    Can't think of any off the top of my head atm

    Oh, we have a Harry Potter wand, and many many hotwheels / matchbox cars. Took us a while to work out why DS was looking for his 'sticky car'. We couldn't even work out why it was sticky. Turns out the wand is the stick and is through a car window. TADA! Sticky car!

    OUr son renamed our dog Karma to Marma, and it has stuck!!

    He does the usual fruck for truck and fragon for dragon, jumpy jumpy is the trampoline, but my all time favourite thing he does is if he is repeatidly saying a work that we adults dont quite get, and we are guessing.. we will usually go "Aaawwwwww, ________________ (insert word he has been saying)" when we finaly understand...

    So now when he is trying to get us to understand, he will go "Aaaaawwwwwwww, ______________ " it sounds sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!

    LOL, just thought of another one - Jack will get on my treadmill when he visits and go 'Weady? WEADY?' and that's our cue to look at him and count to 3, and then he jumps (steps) off, and claps for himself. He's awesome!

    My DS has lots of words and he's getting better at most of them so it took me a while to think of one for this thread! It's 'wedishus' - delicious. Soooo cute!
