Hello my friends, glad you visited my blog. Welcome to a new week with different editions of the 
Wishing you a productive week.
Children are a gift of God and if you have one or have children around you, you are blessed. This is what people pray for and even go as doing anything to get children. I love being around children because their innocence and heart are so pure. They bring this kind of happiness and joy when you're around them. Although they can disturb people, especially those who like crying. Even sometimes when I want to pay deaf ears to their cry I can't just do this because my heart won't let me. I will have to pet them till they stop crying but that doesn't mean I won't discipline them.
I have a younger brother. When he was born I was just 4 years old so I knew nothing about taking care of a child. The first time I took care of a baby and I knew what taking care of a baby entails was my nephew.
He was born 4 years ago. That period i was waiting to be admitted. After giving birth my mum went there for about 3 months for what they call omuogwu in Nigeria (A period where the girl's mother visits and assists her). After that my mum came back. My sister started job after her 3 month maternity Leave and she couldn't take my nephew to work. Since I was just at home at that moment without doing anything, instead of employing Nanny or taking that child to daycare that may require a lot of money they asked me to come to her house. We stay in the same state. Her house wasn't really far from mine. It took about 45 minutes to get there without a traffic jam. So every morning at around 8am i leave my house to theirs before she leave for work.
She would prepare his pampers,food, excrete some breast milk and then pap in case he was hungry.
At the beginning it was really hard because he was always crying because of that mother-child love. This happened till he started getting used to me. When he managed to sleep immediately I laid him down,he woke up. It was so frustrating and annoying that I became scared of laying him down when he sleeps. I will have to carry him on my lap or shoulder to let him sleep for a long time. Sometimes I lay him on my body to allow me to sleep too.
Since I didn't learn all these from my younger brother when I was little then, it was kinda hard for me to cope. I could remember the first day I wanted to wear his pampers. It was as if it was a tug of war 馃槀. My sister had to begin to teach me all of these even how to feed and am happy I learnt all of these then because i'm a woman who will have my own kids someday.
I wouldn't say I heard his first talk because I wasn't living with them. I usually go there daily but i know what he started saying first was mummy and Daddy then she starts answering fine when you ask him how you are. He learnt how to stand first, crawl and start taking one step at a time before he finally got to walk conformably. Now he is now a big boy who talks like a matured man 馃槀馃槀, how kids grow do fast, imagine someone i backed few years ago
