We had a step stool that we used to reach high cabinets, lights, and then when Trevor started potty training, we let him use it to get up to the toilet, if he chose to potty on the big toilet.
Then one day, Devin and Trevor started fighting over the step stool, and I also noticed that our old ugly step stool was old and ugly and didn't really match our bathroom decor at all. So, I went to Target and bought a cute little step stool that would fit quite easily between the tub and the toilet if it stayed in the bathroom for extended periods of time.
I didn't get rid of the old stool. It has its place. It's still old and ugly, but it's a little taller and Trevor likes to use it reach things he can't normally reach. But, I've digressed now, having written a couple of short paragraphs on step stools.
The new really cute thing Devin does is carry the stool from room to room. Both Trevor and Devin actually do this, and it's nice to have two stools so they don't fight over the one old ugly stool. Devin likes to carry his step stool into the living room, put it in front of the couch or the chair, and then climb up onto the furniture. Then, he sits and smiles like he's really done something. And, I suppose he has.
(Stool...does it still sound like a word to you?)
