All done
Isabelle's newest word is "all done" which she pronounces "ee dah". You might be thinking - how is that close? So, first, I am not sure it IS a word.
There are two kinds of words kids say: things they repeat but don't know the meaning of (imitation) and words they know the meaning for. I am 100% confident she is repeating it. I know it doesn't sound like "all done" but when Jack first said all done it was "ah dah". When I say "all done" she ALWAYS says "ee dah". And 90% of the time she has the same hand motion for it. Now, she doesn't necessarily say it when she's done doing something means it's likely imitation but she does sometimes. It's mixed. As long as a kid is saying something consistently - it doesn't matter how close it is to the actual word. Same with signing.
She follows directions really well too.
