                        My son has CP.  As a newborn, he seemed ok, but his eyes didn't straighten out, then he wasn't sitting up at 9 months so we took him to a specialist and CP was the diagnosis.  He was also always on his toes, even as a very young baby.  Aside from his braces and his gait, he is pretty normal.  He's smart  but a "little" stubborn.  He gets along well in 3rd grade as long as he does his work.  Think positive and get whatever therapy your child needs.  Early intervention is extremely important!
