Hope you guys manage to find a way for the picking up thing...if not he can always start learning languages (I speak 5 total), it's best starting up as a kid (he's in the best age right now), because his brain learns it differently and it will be much more easier on him if he decides learn them when he grows up some (trust me, know this from experience). You could get him some of these self-learning kits and maybe try with him (there's a chance that after a while his own family won't have a clue what he's saying if you don't :-D).
everything you have ever said about your mom, she just sounds like the awesomest mom ever! She really is :-D She won't shy away from anything (like how babies are made for example :-D She explained it from the biological side, how it works, got us a brochure with pics too...Screw birds and bees or storks! :-D)
Dude! Freaking out because a kid climbed a tree? We have a whole bunch of trees in our garden and we all climbed each and every one of them...repeatedly :-D We have this big pear tree that's good for sitting in it laughing at the hens that run underneath it :-D
BTW I have this spoiled little cousin, he's a complete idiot, my mom and lil' sis were visiting mom's parents for a few weeks (they live in a little cottage in summer) and he was there. He started banging his head against the desk he was sitting at when mom wouldn't do what he wanted her to. Mom was like "meh, not my kid, not my problem, not my head, I'm not your damn server, you want to bang your brains out, feel free" and she went for a walk with lil' sis. :-D
And yet, somehow, all of us kids used to carry on conversations with adults like we were adult too. I don't know where we got that from if mom talks to kids like they are babies. Haha, maybe some other influences were involved too :-D
