You realise that they are growing up when.....

Years back when I was pregnant the second time in ten months,lol, my parents took care of my son who was starting to say words. his word for plyers was plerts and that baby could use the darned thing. He took the plyers and took his playpen completely apart . I heard my husband swear then laugh and went intto see my baby with his plyers and all the sides of the play pen were down. he just wanted out. lol. no wonder he is mechanically minded and computer literate today. he is a computer programmer and a nerd bar you none.

My 5-year-old daughter often refer to nail cutter as "tsuk-tsuk" because her dad would put sound when he is cutting her nails when she was younger. When she turned three, it was the time we corrected her and she began calling it nailcutter. She also refers to electric fan as e-fan. She still refers to it as e-fan but now she also refer to it as electric fan.

What a cutie! I have always said so. My little cutie created her own language when she was a baby. For milk, she would say, Mook. I think it's because that's the way I say it. I'm southern so I have an accent. She would say, Brr, when she wanted water, cause we have cold water in the refrigerator. She was barely one year old at the time. Now she speaks very clearly. But just before she turned three, she could barely put ten words into a sentence. So, I went online and got her the Reader Rabbit and Elmo learning CD-Roms and within a month she was very fluent. I guess it's all about brain development. Mine is growing up more everyday. She says cute little things like your little one. It's heart warming and heart breaking to realize that every step they take toward maturity is another step away from us! Be well. Have a blessed day.

My son never zipped his pants, he "dripped" them. He didn't eat grapes, he ate "drapes". He also used the F word for truck, but I've heard other little boys say it that way too.

My son used to call a butterfly a "deedle-i", I am not sure how that came to be but I knew what he was talking about when he said it the first time.. But he grew out of it a few days ago when he turned 27.. He will get me for that one, lol.. Children are adorable and parents need to keep these memories close to their hearts so they don't kill their children they get to be teens.. Have a great evening..

I don't have any kid but sister has a one.He is around 3 years old and he is having problem to mention when he want to go toilet.When ever he wants to go toilet he says i want to sing a song.

yes they are like this. i am not married and have no kids.But we have a cute niece and a nephew. the nephew is too small. he can't speak.the niece can't speak well many words. she is now starting to speak them. it seems she is growing up.

They grow up when they mature. Or when they start taking responsibility. Some people remain children all their lives. I know some like that. One of them was the Managing Director at a company where I worked. I still meet him. He's the most childish man I know. He says childish things and reacts like a child. So its not really the words. You're mature when you take responsibility or behave like that. Think of all the grown up children we know. Lots of them - aren't there ?

My mom always picked on me about how I used to say "snow snupe" instead of snow suit, and "aminal" but that's an easy one to mess up. I also said "shicken" a lot instead of chicken. My 2 year old has plenty of words he doesn't say right, one of them is blankey. He says "bankley" it's cute! Now my twins who are 5 are still saying some words wrong, and I'd always been letting it go due to their age, but it's getting to a point where I am trying to correct them because they are growing up and should be speaking correctly. Their biggest thing is putting an extra -ed on anything past tense, like they say "I sleepeded"or "I wanteded".

My daughter is still learning to speak so she has quite a few words that she mispronounces. My mother says I should try to correct her. But it's just too cute. Some of my favorites are "Cha-Cha" for chocolate and "Pur pa" for purple (she always pronounces it like two seperate words).

Oh!gemini i don't have kids, so its not my cup of tea am sorry, i don't know anything much about kids though my co-sister has twins at home. Have Fun! you are lucky to have a sweet daughterTake Care!

I trust this is very funny, baby has s strong desire to speak sth with nature imitation ability, this is language function.

At the age of 21 months, I'm very proud of my son because he's very talkative and very active. He loves to communicate with us and he tells what happens to him. He sees to it that we understand what he's saying.. He likes saying "lola chap" instead of "lola shop" (lola is grandma here in the philippines) he also says "nyumo" instead of "no more" "abyu" instead of "i love you" There are still lots of words he keeps on saying and its fun hearing them. Knowing that he wants to learn how to talk is very happy!

I only remember my sibling, 3 and half years younger, used to call me Dirl. I have a long name and G's were a problem.

Hi there gemini, My younger sister used to call me "daday" since she can't pronounce properly "ate" when she was younger..."ate" in our language is used to call an older sister, and the rest of the family is calling me daday even until now!LOL!

when singing her alphabet.. it used to be h, i, j, k, animal peeeee,q,r,s etc etc she sings it right now.. and i still sing it wrongly lol

I don't recall a particular instance, but I do know exactly what you are talking about. My youngest are now 12 and 13 and even now, it seems that they are changing so much every day that it amazes me and breaks my heart too.

My neighbor's little son, about three years old. He can say many words, and can say some long sentence. But, if he can't say ancle, sister, bother, he say an is the ancle, si is the sister. He only speak the first one of the word. He's so cute.

I don't have kids, and am still looking forward to hearing my little niece's first words. But I know that I always said "psghetti" for "spaghetti", and for some unknow reason, "ketchup" was "sherpa". My parents continued to say "sherpa" for many years after I stopped. LOL

My daughter is also 2 years old and I had this pink silk nightgown that I used to wear and one day when I was doing laundry, she found it and she liked the way that it felt. She started calling it "silky" and from then on she has slept with it. well the other night, I was looking for it before she went to bed and she said..."mommy I found the night gown.
