During spring, summer and fall I forget how it is with kids in snow. The first day of winter, when it snows, I remember. Everything goes in slowmotion. Just to get to the car 20 metres away takes at least ten minutes. Daniel has a need to jump into every single pile of snow at least twice. Or he walks reeeeally slowly towards the garage with his tongue sticking out trying to catch snowflakes. I know I should be patient and let him do his thing, but I'm carrying Isabella and all of Dan's winter gear and trying to get to daycare before sunset. Or at least before lunch. And preferably with Daniel.
Yesterday morning when we finally got to the car he suddenly remembered a christmas gift he got last christmas. We never tried it because there wasn't any snow when he got it and then we forgot about it. It's an inflatable snow tube. He remembered it and said ooh, mom! I'm going to try that on Saturday (because it's dark at 4 PM when I pick him up), I'm so excited! The tube is made of plastic and I'm not so sure it's going to stop ever. So don't get too surprised if you see Daniel swinging by your house on Saturday on a snow tube.

Here comes an edited version of Daniels wish list. The unedited is basically the whole of Toys R us catalogue ( not the baby stuff and the girlie stuff of course!) and especially everything they have of Star Wars and or Clone Wars stuff. You can't go wrong with that. If you want to get something from the list, please right a comment here, so that we don't get two of a kind.

* Star Wars/Clone Wars stuff.
* Wrist watch with hands and all the numbers (some watches have just 3, 6, 9 and 12. What is that? How can a 5 year old tell the time at any other time? Weirdo childless watchmakers...)
* A calender. For instance by Mauri Kunnas.
* Pyjamas, size 128/130.
* Books. Mauri Kunnas (like Robin Hood, Kuningas Artturin ritarit), Lennart Hellsing...
* Ben 10- figures.
