Starting to invest for the daughter...

[whitey19thcentury]

Thanks for the reply all.

She is 7 and has taken a keen interest in baseball since about the age of 5. Her favorite player? Jung Ho Kang. He became her favorite when we took her to the '15 Wild Card game (as us in Pittsburgh call it, "The Arrieta Game."). He was still wheelchair bound for introductions and I think that is what cemented him as her favorite player.

She thinks all of my old Pirates photos (I collect 19th Century through pre-Clemente era Pirates photograph) are "cool" and she has taken a liking to Roberto Clemente since there was a play about him put on at her school by one of the theaters in town. I told her the Tom Walker story about the fateful night and, much to my surprise, she told it at school correctly. I have began to buy Clemente cards for her.

I was going through some of my random stuff I packed away in preparation for our move to our new home later on this year and stumbled upon a Clemente rookie I forgot I held on to.

Yes, she likes her Shopkins. Goodness does she like her Shopkins. And her American Girl dolls. The damage I did in the store in Columbus could've got me a nice little bounty of vintage cards to put away for her, but I digress...

You may know this, but her interests are likely to change greatly in the next few years. She may think that stuff is "cool" now, but more likely she thinks her dad is cool. My girl wanted every American Girl doll she could find. My son loved WWE wrestling. The dolls and figures have been sold or given away and they could care less about it any longer.

Don't get me started on American Girl dolls. The last one my daughter got, as a child, was taller than she was.

Ah yes, we spent multiple hundreds to have breakfast with the doll in New York City - only to be topped by getting the doll's ears pierced at the store and a new hairstyle. 6 of them now sit alone in the playroom in the basement. But, alas...memories
