Default Looking for Ideas

I have twins boys on the way, and I want to carve them some kind of keepsake.
Not sure what I should carve. Any ideas for baby boys.
Thanks

Congratulations on the twins!
For my niece, I carves a little "sign" to look like misc boards someone nailed together (to give it a rustic look) and painted her name and birthday on it. I then carved a shelf sitter mouse and used twine from the mouse's mouth down to the sign, so the mouse was holding it up. I hope that makes sense cause I can't find a picture of it. It was a big hit with my sister and the mouse could easily be replaced with something more boyish.

Congratulations on the twin boys!!! If they are anything like my three boys were when they were little, they'll enjoy anything you carve for them... We had two in 'diapers' at the same time too so I KNOW you're going to busy...have fun with them and your wood carving when you have a moment or two free.
