Meet Walter, a China special focus referral

Walter will turn 2 in November. He had surgery in December 2010 to repair a lumbosacral meningocele. He is living with a foster family. He is potty trained during the day. He wears a diaper at night. At the time of the medical report, he was 17 months old and could walk holding onto a rail or with one hand held. He can point to his body parts when asked. He understands the meaning of cold, tired and hungry. He eats a wide variety of foods, but his favorite food is banana. He imitates words but doesn't pronounce words clearly yet. He recognizes facial expressions. Sometimes if he does something wrong, he will smile to his foster mom and then she doesn't criticize him.  He is an outgoing little boy who is active and likes playing with other children.
