max can barely reach ours - he's 4 1/2. jonah is close, but not there yet. (he's 3)
i know there are products out there to help little people reach -they might be called extenders. we have one in the kids bedroom so they can turn the light on by themselves. :)
Lily is 3 and the only lightswitch i want her to reach is the bathroom. before she could she would cry and yell that it was too dark to go potty. now that she can reach it, i love it. going potty without is such a parent relief.
I have this one memory of trying to reach our light switches as a little girl. Neither my friend, nor I, could manage it. She was reaching up really high, and I was saying, "Use your middle finger—it's the longest!" :)

i am a wife, a mother, a homemaker, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a collector of white cake plates, a seamstress, and a want-to-be runner. i live in arizona, where the sun always shines, and the winters are a dream. i blog about my life at home. it's a good life, and i am happy.
I live in a 1948 building. My light switches are at 53 inches (for the switch not the plate)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a three year old to measure.
Though I seem to recall jumping to flip the switch at one point in my life.
Frustrating! But at least he has a horse and Dinosaur there to back him up: )
