Lydia Barasa posted a photo on October 16, 2026, to mark the occasion, appearing alongside her young son who was dressed in his school uniform topped with a graduation gown and cap.
A congratulatory card and shimmering gifts hung around the boy's neck, while Barasa herself wore a vibrant, colourful dress with a matching head wrap. The pair looked every bit the proud pair they were.
What caught many people off guard, however, was the caption. Rather than a standard congratulatory message, Barasa wrote simply:

A Milestone for the 'Corona Babies'
The post comes as Kenya's third term draws to a close, with PP2 pupils across the country completing their pre-primary journey.
Many of these children were born in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, earning their parents the nickname "corona baby parents" online. Scores of families have taken to social media to celebrate the milestone, but Barasa's post stood out for its charm and unfiltered joy.
The image and its caption quickly gathered attention, with users flooding the comments section with laughter, warmth and a few gentle digs at the spelling.

"Walimu n wengi na ukiwachunguza wengiwao hawana maisha, congrats mamaa to your baby."
Despite the playful ribbing over the caption, the overwhelming sentiment in the comments was one of warmth and encouragement, with many wishing the young graduate a bright academic future ahead.
