Ok, so today was one of those afternoons . . . I was sorta kinda cranky (ok really cranky). No real excuses . . . except home a lot I guess. The weather doesn't provoke motivation to spend excess amounts of time outdoors, yet me van is tired and letting us know it right now (broken). Justin is gone a heap a lot and so . . . well, that is all the whining I'm going to conger up right now. I actually decided to add to my amazing amount of blabbing with this tid bit of information: Tobias is on day 10 and it's just been the same since the weekend. I time the potty breaks and he usually goes every other time or so (no real pattern) but we weren't having any accidents (besides the occasional poop) but there was no inkling of his initiation of these lovely potty breaks . . . sometimes there was even resistance. But today he shocked me. While I was making dinner I kept putting off taking him and he runs to me in the kitchen saying "potty" and runs to the bathroom. I run after him and he pees a good amount in the toilet!! Yeah, you heard me right . . . he initiated the visit to the over-visited bathroom. Ok, if that wasn't enough, he asked me again a bit before bed, shortly after bathtime. :) I'm soooooooooooo proud and, yeah, I cried the first time.
I cried because today was frustrating to a certain degree, made more frustrating (which the usual case with a bad day) by my horrible attitude about what frustrated me to begin with. Then in the peak of this 'frustration', T asked to go potty on his own. I thanked God for the encouragement and decided to pray about the frustration instead of take it out on meself and me boys. And lo and behold I feel a peace beyond understanding . . . hmmm, where does that come from? Thank you, Jesus. I honestly don't know where I'd be or what I'd be doing without my Saviour's grace in my life!!
Well, time to make the rounds and make sure all is ok with my drifting-to-sleep boys.
God bless!
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. -James 1:2-4
