Potty Talk

We had a playdate with one of my closest friends who has a daughter the same age as Madeline as well as a 6-month-old little boy.

Out of the blue, Madeline proudly lifted her dress and showed Ava, her playmate, her big-girl underpants. “I’m potty trained,” she announced. (No need to mention the fact that she pooped on the carpet earlier this week.)

Ava eyed Madeline’s Little Mermaid undies. “Nice panties,” she said.

    Kate! I just found your blog. I am on the Catholic Moms blogrool too and I saw your name. Wierd! We are looking forward to the Botanical Gardens. See you Friday!

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
