My daughter likes to collect shells, and other dead sea products that she finds. When we go to the beach, like when we went on our cruise, she won’t go into the water because she doesn’t like the fish. She seems to think that they are going to nibble on her, or eat her. I have tried explaining that they will not do anything to her. They are just like her goldfish at home.
She refuses to listen to us, and when we go to the Bahamas she sits there chasing the fish away.
I was once a stamp collector, and I did a little coin collecting. My daughter has picked up where I left off. Whenever she gets a chance she tries to get any unique coins that she wants. When we went to the Bahamas she requested a dollar worth of coins so that she could put them in her collection. She has found many other odd coins. I told her to put them away in a safe place and down the road she may want to part with it.
She doesn’t understand that coins in a bank aren’t safe. Whenever she cashes her change in for dollar bills she realizes at the end that she has her collectible coins in there. She has since asked for a collecting book of some sort.
This only comes up because my daughter has been searching the web for places that buy, and sell coins. She found one site that lists prices, and even sells coins that are ungraded. I told her to just buy Morgan dollar coins after I looked through the site. The are old, and look like they may have a great value in the future.
When a child moves from 5th grade to 6th grade is it really necessary to have a graduation party? I don’t think so. My wife has been planning on having a “graduation” party for our daughter and some of her friends. Going from 8th grade to 9th grade is one thing, but 5th grade is not necessary as far as I am concerned.
She asked me about doing this, and I told her to do whatever she wants because she does anyway. Why ask if you aren’t going to listen to my answer. She then told me that she was going to look for some invitations similar to the invitationbox.com graduation announcements that she ran into when she was searching for invitations.
A small get together is ok as far as I am concerned at this point, but invitations? Let’s not get carried away.
