Lily's language makes leaps and bounds on a daily basis, like most 2 year olds, but the mistake that I find most endearing is when she means to say 'my' and it is pronounced like 'mine'. So, 'my doll' becomes 'mine doll' which sounds like the German 'Mein' which means, appropriately enough, 'my'.
Overall, she makes very few mistakes when speaking. It's a testament to the programming that allows us to speak that most children can adapt so quickly to such an overwhelmingly complex thing - a whole new language. I'll miss 'mein doll' once her language skills master 'my', something that could happen any day now.
