gold necklace

My daughter wants a gold necklace for her birthday. I was expecting her to ask for a doll or a movie, even a game. But no, her heart is set on a gold necklace. One of her school chums has a gold necklace and now she wants one as well. I guess I should have expected the change of focus from games and toys to jewelry, clothing and makeup. She is not a little girl anymore, no matter how much I want her to be.

So, to be a good dad I am letting her grow up and giving her a gold necklace instead of the toys I want to give her. As difficult as it is for me, I know I can do it. I can start to let go of my little girl and start treating her as the preteen she is. My wife has been wonderfully supportive with this. She understands how difficult it is for me to transition from buying toys to jewelry for my baby girl. She went window shopping online with our daughter to get a good idea of what our daughter wanted in a gold necklace. After words my wife showed me an online store called Diane's Emporium and is located at www.dianesemporium.com/. My daughter showed a lot of interested in a Blue Topaz and Diamond Necklace and Earring Set. My daughter has surprisingly good taste in gold necklaces.

I guess now that I know the gold necklace my daughter wants it is time for me to figure out some other gift ideas for her. Ones that she does not think are too young for her. But at the same time gifts that are not too old for me to feel comfortable giving them to her. My wife is going to have to walk me through this. She has a good idea of what is appropriate and popular for girls our daughters’ age. It is time my daughter got a little makeup bag, and makeup to try. My wife also suggested we give her things that are more grown up but not adult. Things like a digital camera, or an MP3 player. I like those ideas better than makeup. I guess I had better get used to the idea though. Thank goodness my wife thought to check out Diane's Emporium to find out what our daughter really wanted. With her help I know I can be more accepting of this change.
