Parent Education Classes are almost complete! Yeah!!!

Well, we attended another Parent Education class today in Lexington from 9:00-12:00. Today we participated in the Medical Risks class offered by a Lexington physician who has adopted from China, herself. She was very helpful. For instance, I didn't know that 60% of Asian children will end up wearing glasses because of nearsightedness. Also, I wasn't aware that many Asian children have spots on them called Mongolian Spots that are sort of like a birthmark that fades with time. We found this interesting, because this is something we'll definitely want to alert our pediatrician and daycare to, so that they don't think we're abusing our daughter. These spots look very much like a large bruise. Well, enough of the medical talk. I only have one more class to take, CPR, and I'll finish that in Oct. Troy has already been certified, so he's in good shape for now. Until next time...
