This Little Stool is Mine...


...I use it all the time!

This little stool is what I use to reach things up high in the kitchen. I keep it around the corner in the dining room so it's common to see Cooper using it to see out the window.
I think he saw a bunny:

When we had company last week, my nephew Jake pushed this stool up to the sink to wash his hands... Cooper was watching! Ever since then it's VERY common to see Cooper pushing this stool around the kitchen. It's no longer my stool... Cooper has claimed it!

He uses his stool to climb up to the counter.

He uses his stool to eat his breakfast. This is the new favorite spot and I think he would take all his snacks and even meals here if I'd let him!

He uses his stool to 'help' with the dishes:

We even took his stool upstairs so he could use it to brush his teeth:

He uses his stool to get up to the table too:

And to talk on the phone...Aunt Julie, are you there?


He likes to leave his drink on the counter so he has an excuse to use his stool!

And he really likes to help me make lunch:

He's a good little helper!!

  1. ...to reach the things I couldn't
    and lots of things I shouldn't!

    That is what the stool we had when I was growing up said. :)

    Tate pulled his stool all over the house for quite some time too.

  2. I have never had a stool, maybe that is why all my drawers only close so so, and my shelves are a little tilted!

  3. Mom gave us a stool when Derek was born and it said the same thing as Joy's! It wasn't as tall as yours, though, and it wasn't ever in the kitchen! Now Cooper will never forget your/his little stool. Lots of helping ahead!

  5. Ok Cooper...I'm home now, ready for your call!

    It seems like everytime he is around his cousins, he picks up new tricks. I get tired just watching his busy little life!
