Adventures in Handwashing

I know, I know, unusual title but highly relevant when you have a very short child.  I have spent the last four years lifting Miss E up to wash her hands every time we are out.  On our most recent trip however, we encountered some welcome solutions to this extra wear and tear on my arms (thank goodness missy is a feather weight).

I present solution #1 which was found through Disney.  I call it the low tech solution.  It was thrilling to Miss E to be able to take care of business with complete indepence.

Why do more places not offer a lower sink for children?

Here is solution #2 which was found in Georgia Aquarium.  I call it the high tech solution.  This one is very cool.  The end result was the same as in the low tech version.

Here is the step stool folded up and stored under the counter out of the way.

And here it is folded down for use. Same height counter, sleek look with a step. Cool.
