Because I Said So!!! Mom Knows Best!

Reading is such an important thing for
children to be involved with. The hard part
is getting them involved in the first place.
My son who is 16 now and reads at a collage
level and is seldom seen without a book tucked
under his arm wanted nothing to do with cracking
open a book at all until he was in the 3rd grade.
The school thought he had a learning disability even
and put him with a reading tutor. What did we learn
by this whole thing? It isn't about how good the child's
reading level is it is about finding something they are
interested in to get them started in the first place.
Babies and toddlers are interested in what they see
around them, with my son it turned out to be comic
books that has morphed into Hemingway 10 years
later.












Board Books Albums offered me the chance to review
their product  Take Your Pix and I thought WOW, if I
can get Rowan interested in holding a book now I might
now have to go through the drama I went through with
my son. She already loves being read too so that part
wasn't an issue it was getting her to want to do it herself.
Now let's be real, she isn't even a year so I would think
a Dr. Seuss book is still a little over her level but a picture
book?
Now that is right up her alley! What kind of picture
book could be better then one that tells her own life
story. There is Mommy and Daddy and my doggie
Boo, Brother and Grandma and there could even be
you!










I received a yellow book that proudly states
"My First Photos" on the cover and as luck would have
it just last week I had photos developed and got to
fill the pages for her right away. She loves some of
the hard clunky books we can read together and this
is built the same way. Perfect for little chunky fingers
and easy to hold. She found herself gazing at Mommy
and Daddy and smiles were everywhere! In the book and
best of all on her face. Just one look in the book and
she knew she was a star!

The book is 7 by 7 and holds 20 photos. The cover
even has a place for a photo though a slightly smaller
one. It is perfect for keeping track of babies firsts or any
special events in baby's life. It would make a great gift for
a shower or welcome home gift and you can even start your
own library of baby! The have pre-made colors and also
have ones where you can start from scratch and make
yourself. You don't have to stop at using them just for
baby either, you can use them just for pooch or just
for a wedding. The options are endless! I love mine and
plan on adding more to her collection as our memories grow!
Someday she can read her life story with her own kids.
Now there is a tradition to pass on.
