I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I have ordered all three kids the book My Very Own Name from http://www.iseeme.com/. They weren't cheap purchases, but I fell in love with the idea and couldn't resist. Emily got hers for her first Christmas, Jared got his for his first birthday, and Connor got his pretty much right at birth. Not too long after Emily got hers, they came out with My Very Own Fairytale, which I would have gotten her in heartbeat, but couldn't justify after already owning My Very Own Name. Either way, we're thrilled with the books. The illustrations are very nice, the rhyming phrases that go along with each letter as it builds the child's name are fun/funny/creative. All three kids get a kick out of their books.

I get email updates from time to time from the company, alerting me to new products or sale prices, whatever the case may be. A few days ago, I got an email alerting me to their newest product, The World According To (insert your child's name here). Basically, it includes your child's own illustrations throughout the book, as well as THEIR own wording answering different questions. What a fantastic and fun keepsake of your child at that age!!! View a sample book HERE. Tell me that's not the most adorable idea!!! And it's all nicely bound and professional looking, complete with an "about the author" page, and a place for mom and dad (or whoever) to include a little something to say about the child. SERIOUSLY ADORABLE!

I'm gonna have to save some money and see about getting Emily one right away. I think 6 years old would be a fun age to do it. She's detailed enough in her drawings, thoughtful enough in her answers, etc. I'd have fun letting Jared do one now as well, except I wouldn't have one from Emily at age 4 and it would be more fun to have them all be from the same age for comparison sake. So then one just has to hope that in two and four years they're still offering the product so I can have the boys do one at six years old as well. I'm sure it will be awhile before I can justify a purchase like this (except the email came with a $10 off code), but I'm determined! I just think it's such a CUTE idea!!
