(CONTEST CLOSED)
My daughter's name is very common. "Emma" was the most popular name in 2008, and continues to be a national favorite. It wasn't the first choice for neither me nor my husband, but it was a name we could agree on and it also happens to be a family name. My sister-in-law and her husband chose a very different name for their daughter, Brynn.

It wasn't the first choice for neither me nor my husband, but it was a name we could agree on and it also happens to be a family name. My sister-in-law and her husband chose a very different name for their daughter, Brynn.
Brynn's very first birthday is coming up, and my sister-in-law is having a book party for her. I chose the ABC book for her so that she can start practicing her alphabet. It's a soft-cover book that pictures a cartoon version of my neice, taking her through the alphabet. I know that she and her mom will love reading this together and that it will spark her imagination and creativity seeing herself as the star in her own book.
