Eisley's bathroom quirks

Eisley has begun to exhibit some very strange preferences when it comes to going to the bathroom.
Of course, I'm just happy that she's potty trained, so I don't want to question her motives at this point, but I did think it was odd enough to share with everyone.
Most recently she has decided that her bathroom in the hall is not as fun to potty in as our bathroom in the master bedroom. She insists upon using our bathroom. She even had an accident the other day because she had to go so badly, but bypassed the hall bathroom in favor of our bathroom and ended up peeing on our bedroom floor.
She does this at the YMCA as well. We'll enter the bathroom there and she'll run down the row of stalls yelling, "not that one, not that one, not that one..." until she reaches the handicapped stall, where she states, "this one!" and pushes open the door.
We noticed her first quirk shortly after she was potty trained. She will not poop in the toilet as long as we're in the room. She'll sit down and immediately say, "close the door". Then we must exit the bathroom and shut the door or she will get quite aggravated. This even applies at public restrooms where I have to stand outside her stall and wait until she calls for me.
She's certainly asserting her opinions these days!

She sounds as independent as her mother was at that age!
