Express your love and give great advice by writing an unforgettable note in you child's yearbook. Show your pride and love, but be careful not to embarrass them with your message! They'll have this yearbook for years to come: friends in college, significant others and then the newsmedia (when your child becomes rich and famous) will all be looking at this yearbook. So, even though you are surely proud, don't do anything too over the top. Save that for a private conversation, a separate note, or even an inscription on the inside cover of a book that you think they'll appreciate.
