Toddler and newborn bath?

Does anyone bathe both toddler and infant together...what is your routine. 15 days of the month I will be alone to do bed/bath.

I have a 23month old and a 8 week old

I couldn't figure out a way to bathe them both in the big bathtub without DS1 drowning his little brother, but they do need both need a bath about the same time. My solution thus far has been to put DS2 on the floor outside the door on a blanket

We put the baby tub in there as its filling and DS is playing. I bathe DD and then hand her off to DH, empty her tub back into the actual tub and DS then has the whole regular tub to himself.
