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. ย 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:

Consider this my random comment: I like cheese.
Random enough for you? LOL. Lovin your site though!
My daughter use to have the habit of telling me everytime she farted, lol. We were in the middle of the cereal aisle at Walmart, and of coarse there was a great looking guy right down from us, when she started yelling, “Mama, I farted.” I told her ok and to be quite, but no, she wouldn’t take that….I had to finally say, “Ok Madison, you farted. I heard you. Are you happy now?” And she was happy…I on the other hand was red as a beet.
My then 3 year old daughter was a little smelly at Taco Bell. I told her we should go to the potty because I thought she was poopy. She yells at me, “I’m not poopy, Mom—I just have big toots!”
Yikes!
My 2 year old is eager to do things he’s not yet fully capable of doing. When I tried to stop him, he yelled “I can do it myself!”
Last time I saw my nephew (4), he asked if I was the one who drove the truck. I replied that Grandpa did, and my nephew denied it, saying “No…Grandpa’s shorter and rounder than you!” I don’t get the logic, but I totally took it as a compliment! ๐
I can’t tell you how many time “MOM, MOMMY, MOM, MAMA” is screamed at me during the day.
My 3 year old son is Autistic and repeats things over and over, just last night he was yelling at my husband to “Go Over A Bridge” Hubby was playing World of Warcraft and he had to keep finding bridges to go over every 2 minutes.

Oh, my kid yells so many strange things I can’t remember them all. One time in a public bathroom he yelled (or at least it seemed like yelling at the time), “Mommy that was stinky.”
