Evelyn had a giving spirit for her birthday this year. Evelyn decided to ask her friends to bring toys to be donated to the pediatrics department at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital. It seems she was influenced by the book Curious George Goes to the Hospital and by making donations for various causes throughout the year at school. 
In all, Evelyn collected 40 items at her birthday party last week, and today was the day she brought the goodies to the hospital.
We met with a child life specialist in the pediatrics department, where she showed Evelyn the kids' play area. Some of the toys, games, books and DVDs will stay in this room. Other toys, like stuffed animals and Barbie dolls, will be given to patients who are brave during surgeries or tests.
I'm so proud of my little Peanut for doing such a noble thing on her birthday. I wonder if this is the start of a birthday tradition?
