Soap Dispenser

Our church has recently renovated most of the restrooms in the building. Lots of automation was included in the renovations. All the "hands-free", "no-need-to-touch" stuff including automatic water sensors, automatic soap dispensers and automatic paper towel dispensers.

Taking Kimmie to the restroom has become an adventure! This past Sunday we had extra events going on at church and we made three adventurous trips to the restroom.

Kimmie's favorite accessory is the soap dispenser. She loves to stick her hand under it and be rewarded with a dallop of soapy foam. The sinks are very close to the soap dispensers and it is difficult to move her to the paper towel dispenser without her sticking her hand back under the soap dispenser. So we usually end up washing our hands at least twice before I'm able to maneuver her past the soap to the paper towels and then out the door.

Sometimes I'm able to move her away from the sink quick enough that she doesn't end up with more soap on her hands, but she is usually fast enough to trigger the dispenser. The soap lands on the counter and then I end up trying to clean the counter while keeping Kimmie far enough away that she cannot trigger the soap dispenser again and have us starting this whole process over again.

We have so much fun!
