For Tukes:
- Amazing Machines books
- Adirondack chair
- a car model (to play with, not put together!)

- thrift store books
To do:

Christmas of 2002 Boo was 4 months old; my dad gave me this ornament. At the time I thought it was cute but aside from it marking Boo's first Christmas it didn't hold a lot of sentimental significance. Fast forward to Spring of this year. I started telling the boys that Boo is my Christopher Robin and Tukes is my Winnie the Pooh. Many mornings after breakfast I'll find them sitting together in the rocking chair reading books. Imagine my delight when I rediscovered this ornament a few weeks ago as we unpacked the Christmas decorations!
