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.

My children yell at me all the time to get them cups from the cabinet. i hate when they yell at me.
I need this stool – awesome!
When one of my older boys (I will protect his identity on this one) was little he would yell that he had to go poop then take off all his clothes & throw them outside the bathroom door (no matter where we were) and say, “I am ready” so it wasn’t the words as much as the actions. It got us everytime.
One of the things that have been screamed at me is “poopoo head” and my favorite “you booger!” Funny.
When my oldest daughter was 3, she called out from the kitchen, “Mom! Can I eat daddy’s peanuts?” However, when a 3-year old says peanuts…it sounds like a different word. There was also the time she told me about the white hookers in the back of dad’s car. It took me a bit to figure out that hookers meant hangers.
