Sink (Disney)

Upon spotting the child-height sink in the public restroom in our hotel, Evelyn just about came aglow. "Look, mommy, look! It's for me!" she exclaimed, excitement radiating from every syllable. She ran to the sink and immediately began to wash her own hands. "I do it all by myself! I don't need mommy's help! Evelyn wash my hands by myself!" This sink that she can reach without a stool, without help, became the single most significant item in the whole hotel. Such a little detail, such a big impact on the child. Watching her happily scrubbing away, reminding me time and again of this little sink that is "just for me", makes me happier then I ever imagined a sink would make me.
