The King's Nice Doggie

I actually sing all the kid songs to Ari. He likes them. For a couple of weeks, he has been singing "I had a little nut tree." If you are unfamiliar with this one, it goes:

I had a little nut tree, nothing would it bear,
but a silver nutmeg and a golden pear
The King of Spain's daughter,
came to visit me,
all for the sake of my little nut tree.

Every time I sing it back to him, he says "not sdaughter."
I couldn't figure out what he was trying to tell me. Then he says one day "it's nice doggie, nice doggie"
The king's nice doggie came to visit me.
This makes sense if you consider that he has no idea what a king, Spain, or a daughter are.
