Language development

In the last 2 weeks Jonathan's language skill improved drastically, particularly Chinese. He now communicates very well. Some of the things he says are quite funny. I wish I can remember them all. I'm amazed every day at how he uses words in the correct context and in complicated sentence structures. He can tell the difference between "pull" and "push." He knows the word "spooky" (Albert didn't know this word.)

My mom is most bothered by his thumb sucking and asks him frequently to stop. So every time he sees my mom, he puts his thumb in his mouth and smiles:"又吃手了." (sucking my thumb again). He doesn't do this to others. Although now he often asks me if he can suck his thumb before he does it. Most of the time, I will say yes. If his hands are dirty, I tell him no and give him the reason. He will not do it with a good reason, such as hands are dirty and he will get tummy ache from this.
