Ahhhhlll Done

One of Matthew's more recently learned phrases is "all done". When done with his food and it's time to get down we are told "ahhhhlll dun" or simply "dun". It may mean "down", but I think he's saying "done".

Problem is we hear it as soon as we latch the tray to the highchair. Immediately after taking a seat he's "ahhhlll dun". Oooof oooof ooooof he strains as he tries to remove the tray. No such luck. Then the tears flow, becuase - after all - he's "ahhhhlll dun". Then he eats anyway. It's quite a dramatic affair.

Now he really seems to be done. Except after we wipe the hands off and confirm that he really is indeed ahhhlll dun he often will snatch a last fistful of food and cram it in his mouth as he slides out of the chair.

"Ahhhlll dun" really means I want to eat and walk.
