Now this only works if your kids are able to support themselves and all of these things could be stopped at any time. Have you ever seen an Aquababy Bath Ring by Thermobaby (Blue with Green)? I have one that is similar. It's like a Bumbo seat for the bath tub. I got mine off of Craigslist for 5 bucks. It has been through 2 kids and is amazing. I had an older Safety First version with Ethan and Ellie that would change from an infant bather to the seat. They have been the key to my sanity.
So once your little one can sit up unassisted, around 6 months or so, you can make bath time for you as well. My kids love taking a bath and it really helps them calm down and get ready for bed. So what do I do?
- Floss my teeth. Because it is really important and I don't always do it before bed.
- Trim/file my nails.
- Read the kids a story. If they are especially tired its like skipping a step when I'm done. Which gets them to bed faster. More me time!
- Wipe down the bathroom. I know this seems like work. It is. But it's like killing two birds with one stone. Our kid bathroom is also our guest bathroom and you never know when someone might come over unexpectedly. It happened the other day.
- Read my own book. I can even read it out loud to them. I'm reading Harry Potter right now. Or if you are in school you could read one of those boring reading assignments to your kids. I used to read Chemistry to Ethan.
- Soak my feet in their bath tub. Then lotion and sock them. Pretend you're at the salon. I do.
- Sometimes I wash my face and put wrinkle cream on. I've been putting cream on my face since before I was 20.
- Squats and ballet plies. Because even 10 minutes is better than zero.
