i'll just chime in with my dad's favourite story about me as a child. apparently i said NOTHING for 2 years - and then one day in the car, we passed a construction site, and i said, "look, mum, look at the crane!" dad apparently nearly drove off the road, pulled over and then everyone had a good cry.

they told me i also repeated everything they said for a time, as well - but they eventually worked out that i was actually mirroring THEIR pattern. every time i said something, they would repeat it to me... so i started reflecting that behaviour back to them - until i realized that wasn't the way everyone communicated - just my weirdo parents!

so... it totally could be something as silly as this! but everyone's advice above, is as usual, totally great. all the best to you!
