Was putting him down for a morning nap and he wasn't cooperating. I clipped him in his swing and he wasn't asleep, but was happy and playing. I jumped in the shower and as soon as I turned the water on, he started crying. I took the fastest shower of my life, but I swear to you I had barely rinsed my hair -- three minutes total -- and the crying stopped. I literally jumped out of the shower all wet and ran to his room (fearing he had somehow tumbled out or something...you know, every mother's fear)...he was SLEEPING. Amazing.
Now, I realize he's too young to CIO...and this was not intentional...but part of me was like, "wow. It works."
Re: I just let DS CIO...accidentally
I wouldn't let him cio for like an hour or anything - but so you can take a shower...I wouldn't worry about it or feel guilty!
i have foud that putting Carter in his bouncy seat right in the bathroom with me keeps him so happy - i don't know if its the sound of the water or the steam or what - but 90% of the time I can take as long of a shower as I want and he stays haooy (but he won't sit in his bouncy seat for more than 5 minutes in other rooms of the house)
