I love this story from Epoh about her (almost) 2-year-old daughter who's learning her colors:
We're working on colors. Everything is blue! LOL. At first, I got her to say: blue, purple, and green. But she insists it's all blue. (I do tell her the correct color and praise her when she gets blue right.) Same thing with hot! For the longest time, all of her food and drinks were hot. Now she knows cold.
Don't worry, Epoh, you're not the only one...
Other CafeMoms chimed in with adorable stories of their talking toddlers:
- PaceMyself: Everything was "wed" (red) with my oldest...I love baby brains!
- Coala: Everything with four legs and a tail is a "key" (kitty). Or it is "pri" (pretty).
- 07lilmama1108: Everything is red in this house!
Did you toddler go through this fun phase? What did he/she always say?

My daughter calls my DH mama. She only says dada when she wants something from him.
Right now everything is yellow--If you ask dd what color something is...its always yellow. lol
We are there now! Every color is "yedow" (yellow), anything with four legs is a "doggy, woof woof" and if it's red and fuzzy it must be "Eeeeemo, eeeemo, eeeemo!" (Elmo). We have also had a few fits pitched because apparently not every blond curly haired lady gos by the name Nan!
:D For a while, everyone older than me was grandma or grandpa. :D Now, all color is 'blue'. And though he knows his sisters name, or will repeat it at least, she is sissy, not Lilith. :D
Hey cool! I got on the dailybuzz! How exciting lol Thanks cafemom!
My 3 yr old daughter calls my DH mama too...and he stays home w/ her during the day!!! We remind her that is Daddy...but she's not able to say her consonants correctly yet. Da-ee is how she says that, and she calls her sister Brittany, Bitt-ee.
She counts to five but always skips two...lol...And when she is singing 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed..she always goes back to 2 little monkeys, even if we're down to 0. Pretty funny stuff.
lol everything is truck to Caleb
Whenever you tell my son thank you if he does something for you..he says thank you back..instead of your welcome..also the dog is Ocky(his name is rocky) and our cat is Mokey(smokey) and his great grandmas dog is Crappy(scrappy) and when he tells him good crappy it is hilarious..and if he wants something instead of saying please, which he can say..I've heard it used correctly by him..he again says thank you...oh yeah and anything he doesn't like is ca ca..including milk(my stepmom got him started on ca ca
My DD is just now getting her colors right. One day it just clicked and we were working on potty training. Well after that special moment she stood up and admired her achievement when she turned to look at me with this surprised and astonished look on her face. With a big gasp she says MOMMY MY PEE PEE IS YELLLLOOOOOWWW. It was awesome!
my two year old knows her colors...just getting to know them anyway..
but alas....she knows red...and blue..and purple..and pink
