As the boys have grown and I have tried to give them the opportunity to be more
independent.
Independent = not screaming for me every moment of every day.
One of the things that is EXTREMELY helpful in this independence endeavor is the stool.
Because I believe that there is no excuse for ugly ANYTHING, I look at the stool as a work of functioning art. I walked around the house tonight taking pictures of the stools strewn around my house
(most of them are located in bathrooms) just for fun…
I have collected them over the years and find that they boys pick them up and take them where they need them.
It is a form of stool migration.
Which brings me to the point that if you have kids, you can’t have too many stools.
Today I am giving away A STEP STOOL FOR KIDS from
Step Stool Supply.
A random comment will be selected to win
their choice of a stool from the STEP STOOL SUPPLY Kids Step Stool page with free shipping.
You get a super cute stool to match your decor
and less screaming for mommy around the house.
I am simply here to help.
Here is my favorite:

Well my daughter is only 2 but she is constantly YELLING weird things. The first one that pops in my head was actually to her dad. We were doing a little video of her riding her trike and she was singing happy birthday to my husband, however it was father’s day not his birthday, she was sort of close. He was quizzing her what day it actually was and she said Father’s Day, finally then turns around and YELLS at him “You are NOT my father! Mommy is.” I love two.

Ha! I have to narrow it down to ONE thing my daughter has said? Ok..here goes…(any Mom that had grown kids will fall over with this one)
“I am never going to have kids!”
Hmmm, didn’t WE once say that too?
I follow you on GFC!
My 7 year old and 2 year old were watching the Jeff Dunham Christmas special (he’s a comedian, if you don’t know) and now my 2 year old walks around screaming “I KILL YOU!”
