We are happy today, look at our smile.

Who would have thought that this was the same person who made our hearts beat gbimgbim gbamgbam with his coughing this morning.

Ikem's life is a miracle that I am in awe of.

Today's appointment went well and we are back.

Thank you for your support and love as always.

On our way to LUTH this morning, Ikem was acting out a drama that got our Uber driver so scared.

The man was shouting, 'Madam, what is wrong with him? Should I turn off the A.C or park?'

I just told the man not to worry, that he would be fine and that it wasn't his first time.

I'm sure the man would be confused about how calm I was until the cough became more serious and lasted longer.

He was aspirating, hence the cough.

It comes with dysphagia.

It happens to him a lot and makes one so scared, especially if you're seeing him do it for the first time.

Fear can catch you off guard.

The driver was very nice and drove us well, and his car was very clean and fine.

God called me 'Light of the Nation' in today's first reading from Isaiah 42, and I am letting my light so shine that men will see my good works and give glory to my Father in heaven.

Happy Sunday.

Did you go to church?

I am grateful for knowledge because I don't know how I would have handled this stage of parenting.

Toddlers can do the most.

I don't like stress and I try so much to avoid my triggers and be in control of my emotions.

I read about toddler parenting and started early to equip myself with knowledge, skills, and strategies to help me navigate this stage of parenting, especially as someone who is very intentional and has four young children of close age bracets.

I dislike chaos, yelling, and transferring aggression, and I didn't want any of that for my children, even though I still unconsciously do that Sometimes.

Of course, I am not perfect; however, I am intentional.

This morning, the drama Ifemyolunna caused was enough to make me want to use backhand on him, but I held my peace.

If you saw how I responded to his tantrums and navigated the situation, you would be surprised.

I was just telling myself, thank God for knowing what to do, or else I would have beaten him this morning and ended up being angry and throwing tantrums too.

Yes, adults throw tantrums too.

Toddler parenting should be a full-time course for parents before they start having children to avoid going mad.

If you are yet to start having children, please don't allow anyone to deceive you; there are better ways to raise children without chaos, beating, yelling, and flogging.

But I am not promising you absolute peace.

These children can do so much, but with the right knowledge, you will be ready for every stage and have the tools to help you navigate.

Umuaka can do and undo, especially for the Gen Alpha children, let alone the future generations.

As a parent, start with working on your emotions first and learn to respond to misbehaviours of your children instead of reacting.

Also learn about the different stages of children and the developmental milestones involved.

Is it just tummy that you want to work on, we dey for you.

We are the best to hold your hands and walk you through this journey.

One more week to go.

We are starting on the 19th of this month.

It is only Body Goals Group that can tell you to pay #8000 for two whole months for kind of values that she brings to the table.

People are in class and I have started working on their mindset ahead of the journey because that is where the journey starts.

Good morning from one of my favorite places.

Are you still doing Oblee?

The more you allow fat to accumulate, the more difficult it gets to lose.

Join our weight loss journey starting on the 19th.

It will be a two-month journey.

The early bird offer ends today.

Early birds pay #6,000 while others pay #8,000.

I guarantee you will get more value than what you paid.

Joining the Body Goals Group will be one of the best things that will happen to your life this year.

Taste and see.

You remembered this picture, right?

The picture from the hangout I hosted for special needs moms last year.

The news I received this morning from one of the women who attended the hangout I hosted for special needs parents is one of the best I've heard in my life.

The good news is one of the reasons for this hangout, but I didn't know until that day.

This God, eeh! He is too much.

We cried with her, prayed with her, and I told God that I believe her case was the reason for this hangout and that I've done my part, so let Him do His.

And to think that she even came very late. In fact, she almost missed it.

Devil is a liar! Whenever he sees something good happening, he tries to block it.

She sent me a message around 2 pm asking if she can still meet up if she started coming at that time, and I told her to come, that maybe we would still be there.

I didn't know the burden she was coming with. She came broken and almost at the point of giving up, but she left happy and with faith.

I shared my story with her and told her that I'm certain God will answer.

Of course, she did her part and the necessary things.

This morning during my workout, she reached out to me with her testimony, and I shed tears of joy.

Who am I that God used me for this assignment?

I feel so fulfilled and grateful for the privilege.

Whenever God sends you to do something, even when it doesn't make sense to you, just do it.

God is real, don't be deceived.

And He uses humans to work ,human beings are God's workers.

Indeed, in my pain of raising a child with cerebral palsy lie many gains.

And the gains are even more for others and humanity.

God is faithful.

Thank you, Jesus.

You don't want to know the number of researches I've been conducting about this crying issue. How can one person cry from morning till now?

It's another new year to take your health seriously by working out.

It's not only for overweight people, but for fitness enthusiasts as well.

You don't need to go to the gym; if you can't, you can start from home.

Please start today. It's Saturday and a good day to start.

Leave pressing of phone to work before your day gets busy.

After working out, you will love how you feel afterwards.

Oya, stand up Chiamaka.
