You can tell he is having so much fun doing what he does by just looking at his face. You can hear him screaming and laughing from feet away. And you can hear his grandparents screaming and panting right after him. Sometimes, you will even hear me screaming "stop! stop! stop!" right behind him. You should really teach children the word "stop" before you teach them the word "go". In this little exercise, I have observed that once children learn how to "go", "stop" normally becomes "go faster" when you teach it to them. And if you start chasing them to grab them, they go into hyper-turbo mode and run even faster.
Not that I worry not being able to catch Jakjak in hyper-turbo mode (let's face it, 4 steps in hyper-turbo is just 1 step from me), it's just that the structural integrity of the boy just was not made to engage hyper-turbo at this stage. This means his mind goes faster than his feet can carry him, and it's not a pretty sight (for parents, more-so for grandparents).
When that happens. Jakjak sits for moment to catch his breath (he calls it "gassing up"). He then looks for his foot-powered car and attaches it to himself like outboard boosters. And then things really turn into blurs.
