ok, while we're on this topic, I have two from my older son at age 4,
presumably after he had discovered that flaps were "really" either
/t/ or /d/ in careful speech and and that shwas were 'really' some
stronger vowel when enunciated carefully.
I don't remember if I've ever sneaked these into  a publication:
'recorder' (the wooden flute): recorter (with aspirated t)
'thesis' thesus  (theta-epsilon-s-wedge-s).
