But like Mike, I love the sentimental value. Seeing that new baby in the little boat... sigh...

Also, what a great way to start the boy off on the preferred way of life. I think I'll put anchors and tug boat cut outs on the wall.

This last year was our first Christmas together. So after Christmas I trimmed the branches off the Pinon pine and saved the trunk. I plan on making strips from the trunk and using them on the cradle boat. How's that for sentimental. That should make a great story that goes allong with the boat generation after generation.

That said, I like all the boats in the book. I've thought of doing a slight modification to the upper right boat (sorry the book isn't in front of me) and making a canoe.

I wonder how many action figures will fit in the boat 4 years from now?
