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.

Just the other day, my son got mad at me and yelled, “Fine! then I won’t let you play super hero with me anymore!” Oh darn, how I will miss playing that 50 times a day. Of course, one minute later he sheepishly came back and said, “I’m sorry. I’ll let you play super hero with me but you can’t be the bad guy.”
Since school let our for summer vacation my 9 year old is regressing and starting to scream about anything, especially her 13 year old sister. All we can think of is that there was a girl younger at school who did a lot of screaming and the whole school knew who she was.
I heard.. You’re Mean!! I guess my son didn’t get his way.
I am a new follwer via Google Friend Connect also
My 3 year old yelled to me that he was done being patient !
Lately, every time we ask our 9 year old to do something she doesn’t want to do, she says “What?? I can’t hear you!” back at us. Obviously, she heard us she doesn’t want to do what we asked at that moment.
I follow you with GFC
Eat Bak Bak (eat chicken) Thats a big deal for a child that 6 months ago was almost non verbal.
Oh thankfully I have nothing to disclose since my daughter’s not yet yelling at me! But she has told me, rather huffily, “come ON mommy, let’s go” ๐
