It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two years since I last documented the cute mispronunciations my daughter would make as her vocabulary expanded. Though now she can talk a blue streak and at times sounds rather mature when she speaks, she still has words and phrases that I want to share so that I never forget the cuteness that’s injected into our conversations.
Mispronunciations:
Percufly – perfectly
Nilk – milk
Meer-yur – mirror
Neminems – M&Ms
Renember – remember
Bunch fries – French fries
Has no idea she’s actually saying the wrong word:
Macaroni – pepperoni
Mittens – oven mitts
Ladies and jungle men – ladies and gentlemen
Lady corns – acorns
Phrases and concepts:
Can I have something of this? – when she wants just a bit of something to eat
But I just already did – to indicate she already did something, but always phrased the same way with extra words
Yesterday – any time prior to right now, whether she actually means yesterday or two years ago

Too funny. Love oven mitts and jungle men.
Hahaha this is SO cute!!
Love these 🙂
Haha! The macaroni/pepperoni one made me laugh out loud! One of my favorites from my little one was “straw baby = strawberry.”
Oh, I love this! I have a 3.5 year old and I have never enjoyed conversation with her as much as I do now. Even with all of their silliness and mispronunciations, she occasionally says some pretty simple things that just so happen to be profound. I love that you’re writing these things down … I keep meaning to!
I am particularly fond of jungle men and lady corn :).
These are ADORABLE! Reminded me of my kids when they were little and how cute those made-up words and mispronunciations were. Savor the moment!
