I hate having morning showers so I have mine at about 10PM at night after Sam has gone to bed! Sometimes I have a quick one if his father or my mum is here and can watch him.
I have to watch him constantly now as he is rolling everywhere!

I normally have showers at night before bed I hate thinking theres all the days grime on me when I go to bed. But if I have one during the day I just bring James in the bathroom with me.

I can't let DD run riot as we have no door on our laundry. If she's not napping (pretty random with morning naps these days!) I often time it for when she's having her toast for breakfast, drag the highchair into the bathroom and let her finish her breakfast while have a super quick shower. Keeps her in one place and happy - she's far too mobile to be kept happy with toys for long and would want to get in the water with me!

I used to strap Lesieli in the stroller or highchair with a toy or piece of toast and park it either in the bathroom or just out the door facing in. She did enjoy the toys and toast at first but then started to play up and grizzle. I just left her to grizze and she realised that she wasnt getting out till I was finished so got over that and I never had any problems. I have done it ocassionaly with Alize during the day but Im ok at night and on the weekends as the girls watch him

If I have to have a shower in the morning I usually turn on Hi5! and give her some food which entertains her for about 10 minutes. When she comes and visits me in the shower afterwards I have some toys waiting for her to "Throw!" into the tub (our shower is over the tub) with me.
If I have a shower or a bath at night it is usually with her or just after she goes to bed

I have taken to having a shower at night with Xanda, instead of bathing him as I had a huge scare the other day. The outside doors were all shut, I was in the shower with the bathroom door open, and he kept coming and going, then I went and got dressed, leaving my bedroom door open. Xanda came in and was talking to me, then ran off down the hallway to the lounge, I heard him chatting away to himself. The next thing I know I can hear him talking outside, so peeked out my curtain and here he was walking in the gate holding some ladies hand. She had found him on the road!! I felt like the worst mother in the world.
Sorry for my ramble.

OMG fairsk8 - how scary! Glad he was fine (don't beat yourself up!).
I get up at 6:30 so I can shower as Ella is waking, and DH gets her up and in a clean nappy then feeds her brekkie all while I'm showering - I can't seem to do the 5-min shower thing, no matter how hard I try! I'm just waaayyyy too dozy in the mornings to rush it.
