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 now 19 year old once yelled, rather loudly, in a grocery store, my gina hurts, my gina hurts. The buggy was hurting her…LOL>
My twin sister and I used to pretend we were kitty cats and use my mom’s potted flower plants for litter boxes..”meow” “meow” She would ask what we were doing as we scratched around and we would just say “We are a kitty kitty!”
As we walked into Target one day, my 4 year old son loudly proclaimed “Hey mommy, I FARTED” as loud as he could.

I was at a swimming pool and some other little boy came up to me and said, “Niiice butt!”

My three year old yells at me multiple times a day that he DOES NOT WANT TO BE MY FRIEND!!!
My son recently yelled at me from across the room… “You don’t know anything.” My response… ” I know that you just lost the TV for a week!” Frankly I think I am pretty smart!
My son used to say “truck” but it sounded like…uh…replace the TR with a F…and complete the word. So while in a Target, I believe it was, he yelled “LOOK MOMMY! _UCK!” Yeah. That was fun. Yes, a TRuck, honey, a very nice TRuck!
My 3 year old’s new favorite thing to yell is “Don’t be a party pooper” loudly and often! Who knows where they get this stuff?
