I'm tiny.

Tonight was the last day for Vacation Bible School. There was carnival tonight to cap off the week. Bounce houses galore! Hana and Gina waited for a good 10 minutes and made it into the first bounce house. It was the obstacle course kind. They made it through to the final slide and Hana comes out giddy with happiness. Gina comes out a minute later crying because some 5 year olds had come down the slide and ran into her. She refused to look at another bounce house the rest of the night. She refused everything for a while and just wanted to sit in the stroller. Gina finally relented to getting her face painted. She did perk up after that. So the night wasn't a total loss for her, after all.
It's amazing how different Hana and Gina are. Hana is so great at getting out there and doing stuff and meeting new kids. Gina will cry if a 1 year old looks at her funny. She's so fragile. We say she'll always be the baby in the family.


I asked Gina to grab her pj top from the hanging organizer in her closet tonight. She thought i meant the closet top shelf. This is our conversation:

me: Go grab that purple pj from that shelf.
G: I can't. It's too high.
me: Yes, you can. It's that one right there. Stick your hand up and you can reach it.
G: (looking at the top shelf) I CAN'T! I'm too smaaaallll.
me: Yes you can. You just need to try. The purple one on the lower shelf.
G: I CAN'T!! I'm too small (very sadly).
She gets a bright idea. and looks at me.
G: You get it! You're tall. I'm tiny. But you're tall!

I laughed pretty hard over that conversation. Picture Gina's sad little face and voice saying all this. So cute! So funny!
