Baby can&#039;t come inside the bathroom (eventually I knew I&#039;d have a child who liked to throw things in the water), and I can&#039;t close the door and have no idea what they&#039;re doing without me.<\/p>\n<p\/>Glad we didn&#039;t put that bouncy circle up in the attic!  When I (or the older kids) need to get some time in the bathroom I just slide it into the doorway, where it&#039;s a good fit.  Not only can&#039;t the baby get by, but the activity stuff on the circle provides a distraction so he doesn&#039;t get too upset about not being able to follow me.<\/p>\n<p\/>(I&#039;m going to start posting my parent hacks here, rather than at their home <a href=&#034;http:\/\/www.parenthacks.com&#034;>ParentHacks.com<\/a> because Asha is so far behind at this point that you never know if your email even made it through or if you&#039;ll see it turn up in 6 months.
