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:

My just turned TWO year old son yelled “mean mommy” at me because I wouldn’t let him eat junk for dinner. The kids can’t say much but was able to put those two words together. I wanted to cry ๐
My daughter yelled at me that she was quiting ballet because the audience at the recitals want to much from her….she is 4.
Just last week my daughter wanted a popsicle. I told her “no” for the 100th time. And she screamed at me “don’t you ever tell me no again” It wasn;t too funny at the time but looking back I giggle.
My 3 yr old son thinks flies talk to him. So when he gets mad at me or his Daddy when we tell him to do something he will scream “THE FLY SAYS NO!” It is pretty amusing but people look at us like we are crazy when we are in public.

I love when my 2 year old hollers Mama I love your boobies when we are shopping. Nothing gets me moving faster then that.
“MY NOSE”… Just recently heard from my 5 yr. old after sticking a small piece of toilet paper up her nose a little too far! I had to have her blow her nose several times hard to get it back out- thankfully it was only toilet paper. Oh, the things kids do…
I tweeted about it here http://twitter.com/jessicawarrick/status/19662160189
