What do you do?

Just wandering what everyone does with their toddlers when they have a shower etc?

I have difficulty grasping the concept of being in the shower and not hearing what's going on, or knowing where she is / what she is getting into!

If my DH isn't home and she is awake, I put her in the cot with a few books. She quite likes this however I'm not sure what to do when she goes from a cot to a bed.

I take her in with me. She wears a big hat so the water doesnt get in her eyes, and she just sits in the bottom till im done.

Yeh Tremea likes the shower but it takes double the time and I'm normally trying to get ready for work.

i used to sit them in their highchair and let them eat tiny bits of food it would take them ages to pick it up and as i havea pretty quick shower i was out before the bordedom set in, with dd she always has one with me as we have the shower over bath here

my ds hates the shower. i put the telly on, shut the doors to the kitchen and the spare bathroom, and have my shower. i keep the ensuite door open so i can hear. he's pretty used to the routine and generally behaves himself.

Tyler has a shower with me. She cant have baths at the moment (orders from the doc) I get out before her get dry and then get her out. B4 when she could have baths. I used to put dora on she wouldnt move from the tv

I usually put a dvd on for peter and leave him be while i duck in for my shower. He cant get up to much in our house so i feel safe leaving him to amuse himself...

OR

Some mornings if i wasnt able to bath him the night before, i bath him then jump in the shower while he's in there. That way he's getting clean and having fun and i can watch him while i enjoy my shower

Peter hates the shower as he hates water on his face hence why i dont bring him in with me.

I put both my kids in the bath while I shower most days.
On daycare days I try to bath them the night before then I leave them eating breakfast while I go shower. DH is usually still here on those mornings so I don't have to worry about them eating alone.
