baby shower

only one half of one of my legs is shaved.

madeleine's morning nap has been getting shorter and shorter, so unless i really hustle, i don't usually have time to exercise and shower during it. she generally wakes up right as i am trying to sneak into the bathroom (inconveniently located right next to her bedroom).

so, lately i have been baby proofing the bathroom (taking the toilet paper off of the roll and putting it on a high shelf and putting the trash can, plunger, and toilet scrubber out of reach), putting a few toys on the floor (this also means that i've been cleaning my bathroom floor a lot more often), and letting madeleine play in there while i take a quick shower, peeking out every minute or so to check on her. it's not the best way to shower, but it's been working (someone please tell me that i will someday regain some portion of my personal privacy).

well, this morning, i was in the middle of shaving my legs and noticed that i had a little visitor peeking into the shower with me. this was more difficult for madeleine to accomplish than you might initially think. because of how our (lousy) bathroom is situated, we have to have two shower curtains to prevent a flood every time we shower. they overlap considerably, and instead of going to one of the far edges of the curtains to peek in, madeleine had somehow parted the two curtains in the middle where they overlap and was hanging over the edge of the tub, getting wet. i wish i could have gotten a picture of this, but you realize the difficulties that such a picture would present.

i tried to set madeleine down on the floor again with her toys so that i could finish shaving, but she wouldn't have it. so instead, i called it quits, threw on a towel, and ran to get the camera. i caught her before she had entirely untangled herself from the curtains.
