1. Initially at 8 months Sam had some difficulties with object permanence. He could find a toy if I hid it, but had problems locating a second hiding spot. In turn this would make him frustrated. Now at 10 months Sam is more in tune with this game and it has become quite fun for Sam. He has no difficulties with our hide and seek game. I can had it in multiple places and he always finds them. He is now in the throws of Piaget's 1st stage of Sensorotor.
2. Sam just had his 1st birthday and he is doing so well. He loves to use his motor skills by crawling and pulling himself up. He likes to imitate sounds and words. Sam is an active child. Sleep is not something he likes to do, he rarely naps and has difficulties going to sleep. I would consider Sam to be somewhere in the middle when it comes to sociability. He likes school and his friends. He still is having problems getting comfortable in new situations. He is not aggressive. He will not fight with other kids or his teachers. He may fuss a bit but will not engage. He is emotional he gets fussy still and it can be hard to get him back on track. Sam seems to exhibit self control. He is getting all around the house now but does not go pass his limits.
3. I was happy with his developmental assessment from the school. He is doing well with his motor skills, verbal and cognitive development. He is still a bit slow to warm up. We have been advised to get him into more social settings. Which shouldn't be that difficult for us to do.

Funny how easy it is to raise these virtual children!!! When I was reading your post I thought this reminds me of my niece. I remeber how hard it was to have her sometimes because she was emotional and fussy. Now though she is a pure delight and extremely intelligent:)
