Here is a little list for your Saturday.

A list of the brilliant new words and phrases made up by my toddler whilst she is trying to learn the real versions.

The soft toy flamingo = Femelo

Spaghetti bolognese = Betty Bolognese

Computer (including iPads, laptops etc) = Pooter

Days of the week and months of the year = Months of the each

Piano (aka plastic keyboard) = Tiano

Chocolate = chot-lat (said in the style of Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins)

Maggots = the maggins (long story)

Tomatoes = Martos

And my favourite:

Chicken

pox = Pockens

I would love to hear about your experiences of new words invented by the small people in your world.

Who knows, maybe there will one day be a special dictionary understood only by toddlers.
