One Small Step...


It might look like one small step for most, but it is a giant leap for the Tombrella family...Samuel has successfully pee-peed in the potty last night after bath and twice this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh the joy this mother feels and the ray of hope she sees! It has felt like the unachievable goal, but in the Lord's kindness, he has renewed my faith that no, Samuel will not be wearing diapers when he graduates high school! And Lord willing, Joel will quickly follow suit and join right in on the potty success!
All praise to our ever-faithful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

Way to go Michelle!!! Your perseverance has paid off!! What a joy to know that task has been mastered. ;)) Maybe Joel will follow big brothers example soon.

It was the Japanese potty-training video, I just know it...

If you ask Rob, he would for sure say that is what did it! Thank you Japanese potty video! ;) Of course I just think that once he had success, he decided he was all about it...and of course our praise, cheers, and "We're so proud of you!" helped a bit too, along with the jelly beans and sticker chart!

Good job SAm!! I am so happy for you Michelle, just remember not to get discouraged if he has a few accidents and bad days! Hopefully Joel will be very interested in what big brother is doing!

I've got that Japanese song in my head.
Something about "she-pa-pa..."

We are rejoicing with you.

Michelle said...

Yep, that's the one Justin! Maybe I should sing it with him while he sits on the potty!
Thanks for rejoicing with us, and also pray for consistency on all our parts so this can truly be a success!
Miss you guys!

great job Samuel!! i know you've been working hard on this- i'm glad that there has been success! can't you just see the pennies piling up due to the dwindling amount of diapers purchased. i will be praying that the night time dryness and Joel following suit will be soon-coming. i'm going to show Sarah Jane the potty-training video and see if that's the ticket for her as well.
