Toddler Approved is hosting a wonderful project called the 100 Acts of Kindness Project. I love the idea of JDaniel and I doing things for others between Jan. 15th and Valentine’s Day. Each week she puts up a challenge for you to complete as some of your 100 Acts of Kindness.
I decided to try to do the challenges she purposed along with working on acts of kindness I would like JDaniel to master like not having a tantrum when I say it is “Quiet Time” in the afternoon and cleaning his room without fussing. Yes, I am straying from the project, but boy has JDaniel toned down his fussing.
Recording Acts of Kindness
The first thing we were asked to do was come up with a way to record our acts of kindness. I decided we would do three things to keep track of our kindness.

- Create a record sheet to write down what we did. I decided that we needed to show kindness to family, our community, and our world.
- Mark off a number box on a hundred grid each time we did an act of kindness.
- Savor the act of kindness by eating a jelly bean from a bottle labeled with the people group we helped.

This Week’s Challenge
Make 5 “Thank You” cards and give them to people you’ve never thought to thank before.
What did we do?
JDaniel and I made thank you cards for his Sunday school teachers. We haven’t thanked them for all the work they do each Sunday with him.
