About Board Book Albums
Slone, Marren, and Lucia Miranti
My name is Laura Miranti and I have three great kids-- Slone, Marren, and Lucia -- with my wonderful husband, Chris.
I spend my days juggling kids’ activities, work responsibilities, household duties, and the occasion workout. I love spending time with my family, so I decided that I would stay home with the kids after my daughter Lucia was born in January 2006. As a CPA, I am able to telecommute doing financial accounting work for a worldwide construction company based here in The Woodlands, Texas.
Last year, when Lucia was a year old, we realized that she was somewhat behind her peers in meeting certain developmental milestones. We began working with ECI Keep Pace, having regular sessions with a physical therapist and an early learning specialist. It’s amazing to see how much progress Lucia has made! She is now walking well and trying to say lots of words, although most of them we still can’t quite make out. The early learning specialist (who is like a speech therapist, but works with children before they begin to talk) suggested that I find Lucia a photo album to put photos of her family, toys, and other familiar objects in her world. When I was unable to find a kid-friendly photo album, I came up with the idea to create a board book photo album. This album has been a wonderful learning tool for Lucia. She loves to turn the pages and look at photos of her family, toys, and other familiar objects in her world. Studies have shown that young children only have object recognition with photos. This means that before the age of two, they can not relate a drawing of an object with the actual object, but they can relate a photo of the object with the actual object.
My hope is that many children will enjoy our board book style photo album. Kids with autism, speech delay, or other special needs may find it particularly beneficial as a learning tool, or just something fun to create with their own favorite photos. We hope that you and your children enjoy it as much as we have!
The new “Take Your Pix” board book photo album is unlike any photo album that you’ve seen before! If you enjoy our products, please share them with your friends.
