Classes have started up and I am busy with studying and homework and the actual event of driving to and sitting through classes. Although I do not particularly enjoy the busy-ness and stress of schoolwork, I am loving the education program and classes that I am in.
This week, in my Human Lifespan Development class, the third chapter of my book (on development of babies during the first two years) provided me with this exciting tidbit:
"In colonial America [...] parents and physicians alike viewed crawling on all fours, not as a natural stage of human development, but as a bad habit that, if not thwarted, would remain the baby's primary form of locomotion for the rest of its life..."
Umm...what?!? How many adults did they see crawling around to make them think, "I don't want my baby to grow up to be like that guy"? Also, Jason and I got in a good laugh imagining what the Constitutional Convention would have been like...
