Yes that is correct. Your grand total for the child tax credit for your child born in 2009 is $3000. You got almost half of it during the months between July and December and you got the rest of the $3000 on line 28 of your tax return. If your total refund on line 35a is more then you are getting a refund for something else as well--like tax withheld or some other refundable credit.
You still have not said where or on what line you saw $3500 so we can only make guesses about that.
