Bad Idea

The following pictures were taken following my first attempt to take a shower while letting Chesley play in the bathroom while I did so. I closed the doors to the toliet and closet and put the trash can on the counter, gave her a couple toys and my hairbrush which is a favorite toy and hopped in. She came crawling over to the shower door at a rapid clip, plopped down and stared at me like I was a stranger. I was at this point shampooing my hair and made the mistake of making a funny face at her to see if she would cheer up. Bad Idea #1 She then proceeded to burst into tears in a tone I had yet to hear from my child and which I can only now assume is the tone of sheer terror. So Bad Idea #2 I jump out, strip her to her diaper and haul her in there with me. She settles a little as I hold her away from the water but let her reach out to touch it. So then Bad Idea #3, this one may not count as a Bad Idea because really what else could I do other than set her on the floor of the shower so I could finish and get us both out-but as soon as I did she just kept crawling towards the drain because it was the only thing of interest on the floor. But this brought her into the stream of the shower which is apparently NOT OKAY. She alternated between screaming and mild fussing throughout the rest of the ordeal as I alternated between holding her and setting her down away from the water and trying to block her from heading towards the drain again with my foot-while trying to rinse conditioner from my hair while hopping on one leg and singing Old McDonald. Good thing she looked so cute wrapped up in my towel afterwards...
