I want to talk today about one of my precious little buddies from the orphanage.
Meet "Commander Hoops".
She was one of my friends in the feeding room and here in the Angel room. Now the reason for her nickname is because one of her favorite toys was a little rubber ball that looked like a basketball, and she had the fastest little army crawl I've ever seen!
I know it's not super easy to see in this photo but my little "Commander Hoops" has a limb difference.
But she never let that stop her! She would play and crawl around the Angel room to her hearts content. She can't walk on her on yet. As I'm sure you can imagine she has some balance problems, but if you hold on to her she is more than happy to try her best at toddling.
We had very confusing information about "Commander Hoops" because before we left we were told by AWAA that she did not have a family yet, but while at the orphanage the Assistant Director, Mrs. G, told us she had been matched with a family while we were there. Now being home we haven't gotten confirmation either way. And while I desperately hope Mrs. G was right about her having a family, we just don't know yet. And if she doesn't have a family, then I hope someone is ready to snatch up this precious girl.
While I was playing with her one day I decided that I would just start recording and then just play. I know the camera isn't super steady most the time but I wanted to have something. Be listening at the beginning because in the first few seconds I captured one of "Commander Hoops" infectious giggles.
That was just one of the moments I had with her. "Commander Hoops" and I had a lot of fun together. Here are a few other lovely photos of here!
Eating the ball because why not
Reaching out
Hi there girly
Always very somber
Not happy to be interrupted from play time
Such sweet eyes
Nannies showing her standing
The nannies wanted me to have a good pic of her precious arm
So in review "Commander Hoops" is a very sweet, very playful, and very independent little girl who needs the love of a family. I pray that if she's already matched that her family brings her home soon. If she's not matched now I pray that she will be soon.
It's midnight in China as I type this. I hope my baby girl is sleeping well.
That's my view!
