I currently either a)leave the door open so he can see me or b)bring him into the bathroom and sit him on his potty to 'practice'.

I only ever brought him in once while I peed. It was a little difficult to do because we have a small bathroom on the main floor.

@Mrs. Bee: lol. So hardcore. You definitely deserve a mommy award for giving up pooping. I would hold it all day too! But when I gotta go, I gotta go...

I would put Wagon Jr. in the pack n play, exersaucer, or jumperoo. Then I'd SPEED pee and/or poo! When he was really young I'd put him in the bouncy chair and bring him in with me.

@Mrs. Bee: I have the opposite problem!!

Seriously... I think the funniest thing is trying to shower. I rarely did it, but I'd be SO stressed out about it as I was doing the super quick shower and leaving all kinds of suds everywhere before I was done. I remember some showers during his naps when he'd wake up before I was done and I'd just panic and rush through the rest... oh man, am I ready to do this all over again??

@mrs. wagon: i have a solution for that - i just don't shower.

@Honeybee: ditto. LO always comes with me. When they can walk? Forget about it. I would rather her be in there with me and happy versus crying and banging on the door and trying to open it.

I usually just leave her to play in the livingroom and go. I'm a fast goer.

I bring him in and he opens and closes all of the cupboards and drawers. Now he likes to crawl away but I just call out to him and he comes back or the dogs go hunt for him. For showers he also showers with me. The only disadvantage to that is he thinks it's time to nurse since he can see them (he is on a seefood diet. If he sees food, he wants it). He is just a little over a year now.

I will have to start trying the sitting him on the potty thing.

He comes with, usually, I just go into the bathroom and he follows me. My husband has a huge problem with this, not sure why!

When DS was younger, I would put him in the bouncer. Sometimes I would just leave it in the living room and sometimes I would take it with me, it just depended. Now, if I know I'll be quick, I just leave him playing on the floor. If not, I put him in the jumperoo. He's a rolling machine and a super army crawler. It won't be long until he's crawling for real! Can't leave him playing alone much longer!

all of the above? I've sat on the toilet holding the baby while the toddler tries to push me off, crying, because it offends her for some reason. Good times.
