So those are the biggest things in Kate’s life right now. She wants to do everything HER way and she wants to go on the potty. Shad and I have found that these two things are not to be ignored, it’s not in her best interest, and it’s surely not in ours. Tonight for example, I was still working, I heard Kate say “I pooped” which usually means she has to go. I thought Shad was taking care of her, and I’m not sure what he thought but… after a couple minutes of her chatter I suspected she was alone in the bathroom about fifteen feet away from me. I went down the hall to find her undressed and discovering her poop.

She is her own person these days – and she found herself up in the bathroom immediately following her discovery.
