There has been a change. Paige now likes going in public washrooms, not neccessarily to use the toilet (she'd rather hold it in until home), but to flush the toilet. At the library the other day we had to go into the washroom five times. I can never refuse in case she has an accident, but it gets a bit frustrating! And there was a crack in the toilet bowl, which she thought was a piece of hair. This required repeated flushing to try to get rid of it. She is unable to flush the toilet at home, but the metal handles of most public washrooms, or better yet, the buttons, are easy to push. I don't discourage this behaviour since she is becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of using a public washroom, and not thinking they are scary or dirty. I just make sure to wash her hands when she touches stuff.
If anything I think her being potty trained is way more work than when she was in diapers. It actually requires more gear (change of clothes, potty seat, special wipes), and way more patience. But at home last week we had one small bag of garbage for 2 weeks! We used to have 4 with the diapers!

I know what you mean about potty training being more work than diapers, but just think how grateful you will be when you only have ONE in diapers. It won't be too long until the whole "bathroom" novelty will wear off, and she won't need to make mega trips, just to check out the bathroom. THen one day, she will come and tell you that she went all by herself. In 6 months you will be wondering where your BABY went!!!! Love Gramama
HAHAHAHA - This part of toilet training is inevitable. They always go thru the "need to see the bathroom" where ever you are! Yes frustrating as you never really know if they have to pee. Dont worry this too shall pass...she will get board with it. Have a good day Love Gramma Val
