Daniel gets totally mesmerized by commercials on TV. And he remembers them forever. He also thinks that we should buy everything that the commercials are selling. There's a commercial that they show a lot at the moment for Babylis curler. After Daniel saw that he thought that I definately need one of those babies. And his motivation was that because it gives you glamorous curls, mom. Since I lack every other kind of glamour in my life at the moment, I'm actually thinking of getting one.

He has also seen the commercial for the TV-show Roomservice, which is a home improvement show with two handymen and one designer. When the show actually started Daniel was running back and forth in the house shouting "Roomservice is on TV! NOW MOM! Come NOW!" And when I did join him and asked him what the show was about, he said that the two guys on the show fix groovy rooms. And then he watched the whole show. I know it's a bit early to get worried about his career-choices, but it really seems like he will not get into rocket science any time soon.

Daniel's been pretty jealous of Isabella so far. He has his moments when he wants to give her kisses, but a lot of the time he gets upset with us parents and says he's not our son anymore and that he will move to Finland to mummi and Kari-pappa (grandma and grandpa). Or he wants us to go back to our countries and he'll stay here with Nicholas (who somehow can do no wrong in Daniel's eyes). We of course feel guilty, because every time we can't focus on Daniel it is because of Isabella. I'm feeding her or Marc's consoling her or some other baby stuff. Daniel isn't the only little one anymore and he's not the only one who gets attention. Of course he's upset! So last weekend when Daniel got upset with us again, he came up with a masterplan: we sell Isabella. So according to Daniel his baby sister is for sale for 3 crowns. Not to rain on his parade, but we think differently once again: we're not selling her. Not for 3 crowns anyway...
