Spring growth spurt

One of the teachers from playgroup said that Spring is a time when children go through growth spurts. Mountain boy definitely shot up lengthwise (unfortunately he isn't bulking up fast enough) and he can climb up chairs and tables with relative ease.

Also he can reach handles to open doors so we have to lock up if we need private time. I think, I think I have also witnessed him jump, by that I mean a considerable lift off for both feet.

Doodling is one of his favourite pastimes, he can draw and draw for hours each day. He knows how to draw circles (not very round of course), straight lines (which looks more like zigzags) and dots. Surprisingly he knows his shapes, only circles, squares and triangles. He likes to sit on his chair by the window and observe the traffic and hunt for dogs, cats and babies.

Suddenly he is also talking a lot. Mixture of english and chinese, whichever is easier.

I know its not time for an update yet but he has really grown up this couple of weeks.
