Big Girl

It's strange how much Magda has gotten bigger since her baby sister was born. Before last Friday, Magda was just my little girl -- in my mind barely a toddler. But now, that I've spent time with Simone in my arms and sleeping on my chest, Magda seems all big and grown up. When you pick her up, she's all arms and legs and weighs a (comparative) ton.

This week she spent with Kayleigh going to a cool summer day camp. Dropping her off on the first day she didn't pause once after giving my a goodbye hug and took off with her cousin towards the swings. They were having a blast swimming, riding horses, doing crafts and getting dirty. Just what you want a summer camp to be.

Since I'm off from work this week, I've been able to pick Kayleigh up on some mornings and drive them both to the camp. Their conversations in the back seat are always fun to listen to. Here's a theological discussion they had:

• M: Kayleigh, did you know that God has the whole world in his hands?
  (This is a reference to a spiritual that Jfer likes)
• K: Uhuh
  (Not at all interested)
• M: Yeah, he's go the whole world in his hands!
• K: Huh!?!
• M: Yeah, his hand must be this big!
  (Indicating with hands apart)
• K: Yeah, it must be this big!
  (Now getting into it, marking an even bigger distance)
• M: Yeah, he can hold you.
• K: And a house!
• M: Yeah, God must be as big as Mungus!
  (Referring to the friendly giant on Dragon Tales, her favorite show)
• K: giggle
• M: giggle
