More classes...

We finished yet another class this weekend, this one on "assisting your child's development starting in China". The class was located at CCAI, but basically presented by a clinic at the Children's Hospital. The instructors were a physical therapist and child psychologist. Basically, the class was about what to expect at certain times of development and when to be concerned if the child is not progressing at the "correct" pace. There were some very interesting facts in this class, such as information about life in the orphanage and what to expect when we get our child. One example the PT gave was she saw a girl, from China, who was 15 months old and able to walk. She seemed like she was on target until they put her on her belly. She couldn't roll over, couldn't crawl, or get up on her own. The problem? In the orphanage, she spent many hours a day in a walker and never had an opportunity to master using those core muscle groups (stomach muscles, back muscles) so she didn't know how to use them.
So for now, not much going on other than this class. We don't have another right away, when we do we'll update again.
