My friend Mary Anne, just got back from China with her new addition, Willie, or as he was known in China: Chow Dang. How cute is he? These kids simply amaze me! They don't have the greatest lives in the orphanages in China for the first year or so of their lives. They are kept in chairs, and have little to do. Their leg muscles are weak from always being kept in the chairs, and getting little exercise. Often times, they can hardly walk when they come here with their American parents; they're nearly 2 years old when they arrive here. Anyway, Willie's already walking really well, and trying to talk. He just glances at his big sister Olivia, and tries to do everything she does. This little boy has only been in America for almost a month, and is already so connected to his new family. He's been through a lot in his short little life, but now, little Willie, is home.
I said it before, and I'll say it again, the human spirit never ceases to amaze me.
