My nephew has trouble with Firetruck.
The “tr” gets replaced with another “f”.
Makes for an interesting time if the firetruck goes by when we are out in public.
I was babysitting a little girl one snowy day when she asked me if she could go out and play. I told her yes, but make sure to bundle up first. She got this horribly disappointed look on her face and cried out, “But I don’t know how to bungle up!” LOL!
My (now adult – how’d that happen?) daughter used to pronoune “downstars” as “stoun-dairs”.
The command “Daddy, fix it!” became “Daddy, fikkits!”. But she was most famous for morphing “helicopter” into “heck-a-top-ter”.
Close enough to be understood!
My mother tells me that when I was little, I would see a large red-painted vehicle used by emergency personnel to drive to and put out a blaze, and I would say, “Avo guck!”
My brother (who later went through speech therapy to remedy this) had a very slight lisp and said “keppets” for ketchup and “losper” for lobster.
I didn’t start speaking until very late (I was way past three) and I skipped ‘baby talk’ all together. My parents knew I could speak, I just wouldn’t. I remember very clearly not wanting to say anything I didn’t know how to say perfectly. They finally stopped feeding me at the table unless I asked for it by name. My grunting quickly turned into speech after that, because no one keeps me from my mashed potatoes.
I went through speech therapy, even though I didn’t have any problems because they figured I would develop them somehow 
by being around my brother, I guess.
My big problems came from being able to read before I chose to speak, so I would misprounounce words that were spelled differently than they were spelled so:
obvious became oh-BIV-ee-ous and moccassian (sp?) became mo-CAUSE-an… those are the only two I can think of now…
Isn’t there an age that kids hit where they start misprouncing things? I thought it was post reading, but I’m no example. 
Many years ago I went by my middle name, Clark. My friends son could not pronounce “L”. Hilarity and embarrasment ensues everytime we went out in public. Imagine a young tot bellowing at the top of his voice, “Hey Uncle Cock, lookatme!”
My ex and I were babysitting a friends little girl. My ex wakes me up in the morning, “Tara wants cherry toast for breakfast. How do you make cherry toast”? My sleepy reply, “Get a bowl and some milk, pour some Cherrios in the bowl and cover them with milk”.
Cheers,
Vega
Sometimes, even now, “similarly” comes out simrlry
My daughter pronounced hamburger as hamgerbur.
My son pronounced diplodocus as dip-low-doh-cus until he was five.
Thanks, TellMeI’mNotCrazy. I agree with you 100%. My parents never spoke baby-talk to me, and I’ll never do it to my kids.
That’s what cats and dogs are for. 
I agree. I NEVER spoke baby talk to my kids and they both spoke early, the youngest at 8 months. I know someone who still baby talked at her kids when they were 7 or 8. Eeewww! Course, now you can’t shut mine up :rolleyes:
No baby talk from Harborwolf and I with our daughter either, but she had some REALLY cute ways of saying things.
Onion- Ungun
Light- Yite
Water- Yader
Basket- Bastik
Grandpa- Bapa
Daddy- Daddin
Once, she was in the bathroom with me and she pulled a tampon out of the cabinet. She asked me what it was, and I told her. From then on, she called them “tantons”
