You know how they say that if you drop toast it will land butter side down? Did you know the same thing applies to poop-filled diapers? I can tell you that it does.
I went to change Korra's diaper in the bathroom of the Mexican restaurant tonight and discovered that there was no changing table. So I lay her down in the space between the sinks. There's very little wiggle room, so after I remove the diaper, I have to lay it very close to my wiggly baby (it's a cloth diaper). Wiggly baby kicks the poop-filled diaper onto the floor where it lands, you guessed it, poop-side down. Now I have a baby with a poop covered butt on a small bit of counter between 2 sinks in a Mexican restaurant bathroom, oh and there's poop on the floor. Awesome. After I clean up Korra and get a fresh diaper on her, I then have to keep my hand on her (to keep her on the counter because I'm not about to set her on the bathroom floor) while I try to wipe poop off the floor- all the while hoping that now one comes in. Moral of the story: every bathroom should have a changing table.

You've never realized just how many bathrooms don't until you're a mom, huh? I was in a Zaxbys yesterday that didn't...I mean, it's one thing at a small, local restaurant but a big chain? I was quite displeased.
You're obviously nicer than me, though, because I take no changing table as a personal invitation to change ellia in the dining room, on the bench seat. Then again, I've never dropped a poopy diaper before (that might feel more bathroom appropriate...) ;)
