I almost forgot to post this gem. 
Mindy kidnapped me for a movie night last night and in my drugged up glory, we were walking to the theater and I got a call from my dad’s cell. I answered and he said-
“Kate, I have the funniest story to tell you. Ava went on the big girl potty and came and got us to tell us that her poop looked like a rocket ship. Your mom and I just about died laughing.” This, coming from my stoic, but (secretly giggly,) father. I could just imagine my mother’s eyes tearing up and I wish, (oh man… I wish,) I was there to see the majestic ship being flushed down the potty and into it’s atmosphere.
I love my kid and cannot wait to share this additional poop story with her when she’s 16. The things she says don’t just make me laugh? They make me proud that she’s happy and carefree. Thank God.
