| What about one of those folding step stools? I would think something
as big as what I saw in your picture, you'd want to be able to get it
out of the way of everyone else in the house who doesn't need it.
My children use the bathroom sink for most of their washing activities
because it is lower and easier to reach. I have a small step stool in
the bathroom just for them. They were about 2 to 2 1/2 when they
started needing the sink.

| John,
For folding step stools, look at Cosco. It's a good brand name and
been around a long time. In New England, try Lechmere or a hardware
store that sells housewares. For children's equipment, try ToysRUs.

| What I did with my then-2.5 year old was build a set of portable steps
out of 1/2" plywood which I then painted white. They're sturdy, look
nice and still being used by Leah (now 2.8 years) to brush her teeth.
What's especially good is that they're light enough so that when Leah
wants to get on her dinner table bar-stool style chair by herself, she
can fetch the steps from the bathroom and not need any assistance.

About 3 years ago, I bought 2 little wooden stepping stools at Spag's
in Mass. They are about 6-8 inches high. They were $2.99 a piece.
I bought them primarily for gardening use (to sit on - save my knees!)
but found them just the right size for my daughter (then 2 years old)
to reach the bathroom sinks.

| We have a little blue-and-white Little Tykes step stool that is perfect
for reaching the sink for toothbrushing, handwashing, etc.. In fact,
I noticed this morning that Marc can _almost_ reach the faucet by
himself. I'm sure Toys R Us would have it.

| I remember seeing something in Toys R Us which is a step stool, and
flips over to become a booster seat. Price was between 10 and 12
dollars.
We too have the little blue and white stool, and works well in the
bathroom and kitchen sink. AJ is going through this "I want to
help,with EVERYTHING" stage, and pulls his stool up to the kitchen sink
to "wash" or "dry" the dishes. I just stand back, remove the sharp
things and hold the floor mop ready for spills!
Oh yes, it holds my *adult* weight well too, I've borrowed it to open
the window behind the kitchen sink. It's just too awkward and angle to
reach from my 5'2" height, and hubby isn't always around to help.
