- the ABC song goes like this: a-b-c-d-e-f-geez! ache-i-j-k-all-a-many-pees-q-r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-z-now i now i ABC's, next time won't you sing with me?
- Baa-baa, black sheep, how you doin'?
- eye-browns (instead of eyebrows)
- she calls the Fisher Price village the Bumble Bee (still not sure why)
- hey! wait until me (instead of what for me)
- my two-head (instead of forehead: if Maïa is four years old and has a forehead, then Sol, who's two, must have a two-head, right?)

Misunderstood lyrics and other malapropisms
One of the best things about having a toddler is watching how she mis-hears and mis-understands the world around her. Since her experience is limited, she can only put what she hears into that small context. Here are some of the cute things Solanne says.

Too cute!
So I guess this makes you a 30-head! :-o
One of my clients has a young daughter - she's seven now, but at around age four she became temporarily obsessed with the movie "Finding Nemo" - watched it over and over, had huge sections of it memorized...she could recite whole scenes, complete with character voices. Her inflections were always spot on, but the words often came out kind of garbled because - as you say - she didn't always understand what she was saying. The funniest part, though, was that she thought Nemo's name was actually "Finding Nemo" - that being the title of the movie and all. So if she was telling you about the plot of the movie, it went something like:
"Finding Nemo goes to school, and he gets lost because a fishing boat catches him, and then Finding Nemo's dad has to search for him, and..."
Hee. :)
