I haven’t updated Things Fighter says in a while and now I can include Penny cos she’s also starting to talk a little bit!
These are all things that Fighter has said in recent months, and if you read carefully the sequence, you’ll notice that his speech and grammar continue to improve. ^^

I am trying to get him to wear his Woody from Toy Story outfit for a costume day at school. Fighter doesn’t want to. Fighter: Woody outfit don’t need. House clothes not don’t need.
Fighter’s favorite tshirt is a black one with a Christmas tree picture on it. He wears it too much so I normally hide it away. But he suddenly spies it in his drawer.
Fighter: Oh my god forgot!

Fighter: Mommy, you look so beautiful today.
For some reason he says this every day. Even when I’m wearing pajamas with no makeup and bed hair.

Fighter: Mommy, I’m very sad.

Fighter: Because my grandma and grandpa not here.

Penny is having a tantrum for god knows what reason. Normally after a few seconds she finishes and gets up and acts like nothing happened wtf. But when she’s melting down, I worry she’ll hurt yourself so usually I try to hold her. She flails about and accidentally smacks me lightly on the shoulder. Fighter is watching nearby and suddenly his face changes – his mouth turns downwards and he comes to me with his hand outstretched.
Fighter (lip trembling): Mommy pain pain.
Me (thinking he wants some attention and made up an injury so I can sayang him): Where pain? Your finger? Come, mommy sayang.
Fighter (sadly): Baby hit mommy, mommy pain pain. I rub for you. (puts hand on my shoulder and rubs me)

The kids have a chair of their own for eating breakfast and watching TV. One morning, Fatty sat on Penny’s chair.
