"It is through your deeds that ye can distinguish yourselves from others..."

One year old Jeyden Ru is a constant topic of conversation among our Shining Stars.  They absolutely adore him.  So when presented with the idea to babysit him as a service project they were very enthusiastic to say the least! 

We spent a couple of class sessions discussing and preparing for our service.  The children prepared an invitation letter and booklet for auntie May and Jeyden.  They also did some yard work to buy  auntie May a cup of coffee to enjoy at a nearby cafe while we watched Jeyden.  

When the much anticipated Sunday arrived, all auntie May wanted was a nap.  (She's a working mom with three kids, after all!)  So the Shining Stars made their way over to the Ru home to watch Jeyden.   And despite having four young babysitters in the house auntie May says she actually got a half-hour of sleep!

Preparing the invitation letter and booklet

"We will look after him."

"We will make a place for him to sleep."

"We will make food for him."

We will organize playthings for him.  We will clean the house."
