Oh yes! The Simz Family has managed to survive the 2nd month in this foreign land! Everything has more or less settled down, and all our shipment from home had already unpacked! Haiz, Mama Simz regretted for not smuggling more food sauce into the boxes!
Updates on the tot:
The little tot has never failed to amzaed Mama Simz with his once-a-day-new-word-said. 16th month is the miracle month! He seems to learn everything with just a click of hand. The skills he picked up this month are:
1) Self feed from the fork.
2) Ride the car with his feet pushing forward
3) drinking water from his cup with just a little water
4) Understand all the instructions
5) Trying to get rid of the diaper and use the toilet bowl.
6) Wave to anyone who smile at him at the street
7) He can read!!!
Yes! He can read 4 words now! Or maybe more? Mama Simz can only verified that he can read the following words:
- Hi (he will said 'hi')
- keys (he will show us his sign language)
- dog (he will said woof woof)
- monkey (he will said mon mon)
Another thing that Mama Simz are really proud of the little tot is, he's able to sit in the car seat and sit through most of his meal time! All thanks to 'no tv'! Mama Simz still remember that a very good friend of hers asked her if the little tot had been watching too much tv, as she witness the little tot not able to sit still for long during a day outing.

Mama Simz was worried as there were relatives who had ADHD, though all of them grew out of it. So thank god that Mama Simz was just overly worried for nothing!
With the little tot able to sit still, Mama Simz is able to read at least 2 books to him everyday. Or even more, as the little tot will want Mama Simz to repeat the story just like a spoilt radio!
