My Little Ponies: For My Daughter

As some of you know, I love Mustangs. As some of you know, my wife and I recently had our first child; a lovely little girl we called, "Etta". As you should know, because Oppo, I love cars. And I'm building a collection of 1/64 die cast cars for when she's a little older - for now it's all fluffy Cars toys and the like (which, at almost two months old, she couldn't care less about yet anyway...) but when she gets old enough, she's going to have a nice collection of cars and her own little ponies.

This is the current stable of Mustangs with more on the way.

Who says girls have to play with dolls?

This, this right here, is why I'm not allowed to be independently wealthy. Because, yes, I would. I'd be like, "But I paid an extra hundred grand to have it baby-proofed!"

Except that it'll be her in the driver's seat!

I actually love that video, both as a Dad, Mustang guy and Power Ranger.

Nothing says that girls have to play with dolls. I played with my dolls, but I also played with my older brother's toy cars. I think it's neat that you're doing this for Etta.

It's a little for me, too.

I knew that. ;D

I'd like to have a box of other Mustangs, too, so that every time she says, "Daddy, I want a pony." I can be like, "Here."

And watch her screw her little face up at me and say something like, "Not that kind of pony!"

So that I can say things like, "But why would you want just one pony when this one has three hundred and fifty!?"

Before you ask, the answer is; yes, I'm looking forward to those, "Hi _____, I'm dad." When she says, for example; "I'm bored."

You are so going to enjoy fatherhood!

I hope so, because apparently you're stuck with the year and model you begin with... for life. There's no trade-in value, nothing. And once they get high mileage...

Exactly. Your life has changed forever, as I'm sure you've already found out.

And for the better, for the most part, even if it means less car parts in the immediate future.

Yay!

Dolls themselves aren't bad. Shoot, I enjoy putting my stuffed animals in and on cars. (Still.)

She's presently right into Owls.

Congrats on your girl! She'll be all set with an awesome collection in no time.

I can't wait to do this when the time comes :)
