Just a few weeks ago, on a rainy Toronto day, my sons and I were at an indoor playground jumping in the bouncy castle. As my four year old son was about to come down the slide, a mother said to her son “Watch out, the little boy wants to come down.” Without flinching, my son immediately replied “I’m a BIG BOY!” The women was kind enough to correct her timely advice and informed her son that “The BIG BOY wants to come down.” I have to say, that I was proud of my boy for standing up and speaking out about what he believes in. Sure, it’s not life changing, but it’s important to him and I was proud.
Personalized Big Kid Book
Since my son has developed this independence and a need to be considered “Big” I thought he would truly enjoy reading a book about himself as a big boy. I See Me!, which creates personalized children’s books, has the perfect solution. Their I’m a big boy / girl now! books are customized with your child’s name and perfectly describe what it means to be a big kid. The story describes the child dressing up on their own, brushing their teeth properly, using the toilet, eating healthy food and cleaning up after themselves. Okay, so it ALMOST describes my big boy son perfectly. 😉 My son was eager to read the book when it arrived and it’s been one of his night-time reading books ever since.
I was first introduced to I See Me! books when my oldest son turned one. He received the My Very Own Name Storybook as a gift from our friend. The book spells out his first, middle and last name using the first letter from various animals. It’s a colourful book and a great way for your child to learn the spelling of their name and the names of various animals. It also makes for a very unique and cherished gift. Check out all of the personalized children’s books and more on I See Me! website.
I See Me! offers a variety of personalized books for everyone and for every occasion including Back To School.

I’m a big fan of I See Me! and anything personalized. With a name like Randa, it’s a special moment when you can get something with your name on it 🙂
