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.

Her girlfriend is moving and she said to her mom and me (in her angry voice since she’s upset she’s moving) – “next time she needs to get a house with stairs on the inside!” (since they have an upstairs apartment and there’s a million stairs to get to it lol
Throughout the day my four-year-old will yell “You’re My Sweet Mommy, Right?” several times. He can be in the bathroom, playing in his room or sitting across the room, but he just need it confirmed I guess.
She told me she didn’t like me unless I gave her presents.
Bathtime with 5 year old brother stopped after *this* gem….
“Mommy… there is something wrong with Jacobs vagina!”

I learned early on to listen to my son when he has to go potty. One time I was in the supermarket with him and he had to go. I told him just a second, while I waited for the meat dept. to bring out fresh ground beef. After about 30 seconds of fidgeting, getting increasingly more agitated, my son very loudly proclaimed to the world, “I’m ’bout to ‘splode!” He’s 23 yrs old now and we still joke about that. ๐
One of my grand sons (will that count?), when seeing a thin Santa Clause, yelled:
“Look Nonnie – Santa went to Weight Watchers!”
