Gee, these short titles sure limit you! Anyway, I just wanted to stop by here and ask you ladies a question. I'm 21, and my "baby" brother, who will be 11 soon, will be graduating from elementary school (Grade 5) in June. It's SO hard to beleive- it seems that it wasn't so long ago that I was in Grade 5 and he was born! It will be the first time in 15 years that a child form my family hasn't gone to that school (I have another brother who is 18 1/2)!

My question is: I want to get him a gift for his "graduation". It isn't really made that big of a deal here: just a short ceremony at a school assembly. I still wanted to get him something- not too big or inexpensive, just something that says "My little brother is going to MIDDLE school"! I was thinking of getting him an English "football" shirt when I go overseas next month (he LOVES Manchester United!). Is that too impersonal? Anyway, I would love to hear suggestions about what you have gotten your children, or what the child's siblings have gotten them.

Thanks,

Cathy
