Education Has Begun!

Skype, Skype, what a wonderful thing!

Skype has kept us from having to travel to another province for our mandated, Russia-specific education. It's glorious! And Skype is free. Free is good. We like free.

Our education sessions started on Tuesday. So far we have had two things to do, and tomorrow is our first of 3 video conferences.

The first day our big assignment was . . . to read a single page introduction/welcome letter, and a 2 page glossary.

It didn't take long.

The second day our assignment was to answer some straight forward questions about why we chose Russia, what we knew about it and the adoption process, and what our expectations were/are.

Questions like these have been asked frequently in our journey so far; both in professional/official capacities and in social situations. The questions are important so that you (and everyone else) know where you stand and how much you have to learn. Our home study included them, our psychological assessment included them, and our provincial education training included them (you can read about those days: Day 1 here and Day 2 here).

Tomorrow we have our first of 3 Skype sessions. There will be a total of 5 hours, made up of a 2 hour, a 1 hour, and another 2 hour.

Remember the other day when I mentioned that we'd been shopping? Check out the awesome bedding we found! Perfect for a LO to curl up in bed in!
 
Notice the adorable parent-baby animals? It grabbed us right away.
