"are you done shower? are you wet?"

"I'll help you"
"I was crying"
"I making mess"
"Owen/RyRy hit me!"
"I like it"
"can I come down?" (from high chair)
"what happened?"
"I want to go there"
"I don't want that"
"can you push me?" (sitting in stroller, or if his chair is too far from the table)
"I going backward"
