Mother’s Day & National Pyjama Day

Mum’s are wonderful
We celebrate our wonderful Mums in Giraffe by holding a Mother’s Day Breakfast on the last Friday before Mother’s Day. The children help to decorate with lovely Mother’s Day themed arts and cards and gifts and the Mums are invited to have breakfast with us in the centres, or take one of our ‘breakfast to go’ packs if they are in a rush. This year it fell on March 4th, which coincided with National Pyjama Day!
Warm and Cosy in our PJ’s!
National Pyjama Day is run by Early Childhood Ireland annually. Preschool children are asked to come to their preschool in their pyjamas and make a small donation to a chosen charity. This year the charity is Irish Autism Action who do great work providing information and assistance to autistic children and adults and also support to their families. Giraffe takes part in National Pyjama Day each year.
There was great excitement as the two events both happened on the same day, and the icing on the cake was a sprinkling of snow on the ground that morning.
In Stepaside the children enjoyed playing out in the snow! Here you can see twins Oliwier and Eryk presenting their beautiful Mother’s Day cards to their mummy.
In Rathborne the children worked hard creating fabulous Mother’s Day cards and they had lots of fun on Pyjama Day!
Look at the happy smiley faces in Griffeen! The children were delighted to do their Fitness Friday in their pjs!!
The NCI boys and girls made these lovely portraits of their Mums! Didn’t they do well?!
Some happy pyjama day faces from Harcourt Road, Navan and Celbridge.

Mother’s Day takes on a whole new meaning when you have children yourself; any cynicism about made-up, commercial occasions is displaced, once you get that first homemade card or toddler-produced breakfast in bed. Even if said toddler usually eats most of it! So it’s not surprising to see such happy smiles in our gorgeous series […]
