Well, it's finished *for now*, anyways! My oldest nephew has been showing signs of an interest in history for the past few years, and has really gotten into Medieval, Renaissance, and WW2 history lately, exactly as my brother did when he was the same age. Just as I did for my brother, I intend to encourage this interest in any way that I can. I gave my brother a lot of history-related books and magazines when he was younger, and he's started passing them on to my nephew, so I have to take a slightly different tack! This year my nephew turned 10, and asked my brother to take him to the local Renaissance Faire for his birthday. My brother and I usually go together, and in costume (of course!). I happened to overhear my brother agree to take my nephew to Faire, and I said "We usually go together, and we dress up, so if you're coming with us, I should make you a costume." I expected my nephew to say "Well, I don't know ..." but he immediately said "YES!" Good thing I hadn't bought him a birthday present yet: his costume would be his present from me!
