May. 9, 2008 - Rachel is one . . .
For the little girl who has everything I came up with a solution. I had each of her siblings "create" a book to read to her. Sam made an animal number book that I laminated and comb bound. He designed it in Microsoft Home Publishing with minimal help.
Katie's book is 4 x 4. I designed the pages per her instructions in Photoshop Elements 6.0 and then printed them at home. She and I laminated them, hole punched them and then threaded them on a key ring. I thought Rachel would like the tactile quality of the ribbons so we tied lots of grosgrain ribbons on the key chain. We gave the mini book to Rachel and she adored it. She dragged it around all afternoon! Katie was so pleased.
I am relieved to skip the influx of plastic toys this year. I hope she can read her books for years to come.
