And **Cranky** dear, I think that “Secret Stork” is an EXCELLENT name for you and ALL the wonderful Dopers who have sent me emails wanting to participate in this project. Thanks for the thought… **Secret Storks** you shall all be!

Let’s see…3 1/2 years old, male, 12 3/4 pounds, likes toys that squeak and smell like catnip. 😉

No, but I’m sending an email to join up and send someone a baby gift!

Hi Scotticher  
Count me in. We have lovely stuff for new little people here in Canada. I am emailing with one special mom I want to send something to, and I would like one special mom that I have not made friends with yet as well.  
Great idea, thanks

**Aenea** I got your package today and I don’t know how to look up your email. I just wanted to say thank you so much! I’m sure the new baby will love everything! Don’t worry, I can’t wrap a package to save my life either.

You’re welcome, **Leifsmama** , I thought it was adorable. I almost didn’t get the Snoopy outfit, since it clashed with the theme of the rest of the present, but it was just _so cute_… 😉
