If you have ever smiled and nodded while your toddler asked for lipslick or pointed excitedly at a fire wee, you know that children have their own magical language. These sweet mispronunciations do not last forever, but they remain in our hearts and family memories.
After recently watching old videos from my children’s early years, I found myself reminiscing about the many original words they created while learning to speak. That trip down memory lane sparked a curiosity in me — just how many wonderfully creative toddler words are out there?
.
Those precious one-of-a-kind words fade far too quickly, but the memories live on. Did your child/children have special words for everyday things? Children have a way of turning everyday words into something unforgettable. What words did your toddler invent?
I would love to hear from you!
