ZoE doesn't love it...but she's ok with going in the shower & much prefers it to a bath by herself.
I pick her up, climb in the shower. While I'm holding her, I wet my hair & hers. Then I set her down, quickly shampoo my hair, then hers. Rinse mine, rinse hers. Then I put conditioner on her, then I put conditioner on my hair, soap myself up with body wash (meanwhile ZoE is walking around the tub & trying to lick the spray from the shower water...lol), then I rinse my hair & body (this way ZoE gets more time with conditioner on her). Last step, ZoE gets rinsed out. I climb out of the shower quickly dry off, then I squeeze the excess water from her hair & pick her up in a towel. I dry her off & let her run around while I get dressed, then it's time to blow dry her.
Thankfully, ZoE doesn't ever try to jump in or out of the bathtub..I think cos it's so deep. I have an all-in-one bath/shower at the ONE & ONLY bathroom in my wee house, but I hated giving up the separate shower & separate jacuzzi tub of my old house, so when I remodeled the wee house, I put in a jacuzzi tub as the tub of my combo, so it's pretty deep. It does make climbing in & out to shower more of a pain, but it's well worth it. I just had to put an extra safety bar at the side that I hold onto to climb in & out.
