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 two year old is just now really starting to talk. She was in her room with her brother playing and I walked in. She turned to me and said her first complete sentence: “Mama out, not you room, my room”. What a great first sentence…LOL Showing independence already!
My 2 year old daughter used to yell what sounded like “hate you!” but she was really commanding me to “hold still.” Not sure which one is worse… ๐
I hate you and you sat on me when I was a baby. ON PURPOSE!
I am now a follower on Google Friend.
I just tweeted about your giveaway. Thank you!

We were camping and watched the lady let her dog poop on a campsite right across from our site. My mom started to make a big deal about the lady not picking up the mess. A few minutes later, the lady came back to pick it up, and while she was doing that, my 5 year old hollows to me, “MOM! She picked up the dog poop!!!”. I wanted to crawl into a hole. ๐
My 4 year old son loves to ask me, loudly, if I have to poop or pee. He asks me in public restrooms, but sometimes for no reason.
My 8yo son told his 1 yo sister, “You go girl!” because she did all of the animal sounds he requested perfectly all right in a row.
