Parenting

Sean and I went to our first night of our child care class last night given at the hospital. It was full of "This is what the American Academy of Pediatrics says..." type of stuff, but it was interesting none-the-less. Tonight, we go for round 2 including CPR training. Even if I was a psychology major in college, I had forgotten the stages of child development, and I still feel as though I need more of a reminder and a primer for Sean, who never had a child psych or even regular psych class. I'm trying to find a good child psych or child development primer, without all the "You need to do this for your child to be a good person later on in life" type of book on Amazon. Any recommendations of that type of book and a basic family medical guide would be helpful and please feel free to send this way.

Also any recommendations for nice sounding children's music is always appreciated. Upon recommendation from mom, I have downloaded some Woody Guthrie and some nice classical lullabies as well as just some soothing bluegrass or folk music that both Sean and I like. Our baby will get his own playlists in my ipod so that he can have music in his room or on the go. Itunes has smartly included School House Rock and Electric Company videos, counting on nostalgia from my generation as we raise our own kids. I hope they continue this trend.
