Nation snuggle day

Clair really loves snuggles. One day we were joking about how it would be great if there is a national day where all you did was snuggled. So I looked it up and found out that January 6 is actually officially national cuddles day. So we decided that would be our national snuggles day. This day has been anticipated and talked about ever since we discovered it’s existence back in December. As the day approached Clair was very excited. I will admit I was pretty excited to with the prospect of laying around in pajamas and snuggling all day. Clair is an amazing snuggle her. She is my snuggle buddy.

She came into my bed around midnight and said mommy it’s snuggle day I have to snuggle you. It started from there and went most of the day. She tried to get me up around eight and I said since it was snuggle day we stayed in bed all day. She proclaimed that she would need to place him today as well. I said “OK, why don’t you go into your room and play for an hour and then come back and get mommy and I’ll make breakfast.” And she did! That was a win-win solution for us all.

For most of the morning we lounged around we had a lazy breakfast and just relaxed. We had lots of snuggles.

Eventually I had to go to the weekly grocery shopping and I was able to convince clear to come with me for the first time in a while so we can continue to be together on national snuggle day. We went to Starbucks and got ourselves a little drink to celebrate national snuggles day.

Ellie also made chocolate chip cookies for her teacher, and Claire convinced her that we should use half of them to celebrate national snuggle day. So we did.

It was fun taking this random day and celebrating it in our family. Claire really knows how to celebrate something and make something normal into something special. She truly has an amazing gift for this.
