Jan - interesting that you should mention U.S. vs. other countries. The baby's parents are both from Russia. I was wondering if this was a cultural thing. Today I was looking for a sign in the baby sign language book for "I need to use the potty." As it turns out, the book doesn't even give one. It just gives the sign for "I need a change." I guess this book was published in America.[/quote]
The sign for "toilet" is the letter "t" (put your thumb between the index and middle finger) and either shaking the whole hand or twisting the wrist a couple of times. This sign is used when someone has to go to the bathroom.
