All Done!

Jonah loves making the sign "all done"!  He waves both hands in the air emphatically to let us know he is finished with dinner and wants to get out of this his high chair.  Then he started applying it to his swing.  And carseat.  And diaper changes.  And school.  In fact, Jonah has discovered the power of "all done" to communicate just about anything he doesn't want to be doing.  This evening at a friend's dinner party/game night Jonah stayed up late, mesmerized with watching the adults play charades.  (So that's what grown-ups do after 8 o'clock!)  When he had had enough he waved "all done!"  It's cuter to let everyone think he's waving good-bye.
I wish I could say that his use of all done extends only to appropriate situations, but Jonah seems to have forgotten "more" and signs "all done" when he is really wanting a second helping!
