    DS, who will be 19 months on Tuesday, tries to climb out while I am there so no way can I leave him for a second. He also wants to stand up all the time in the bath and walks from one end to the other. Hates getting water on his face (this started about a month or so ago but up until then he'd been great!) so washing his hair is a drama. And the couple of times I've tried having him in the shower with me were disastrous. He climbs into and out of the bath (empty) while I'm having the shower. Thank goodness he can't turn on the taps by himself!

    She has only done it once a few months ago - I went so troppo at her she hasn't done it since lol

    Charlotte has been bathing by herself for a while, she rarely asks me to stay, usually tell me to go now rofl but she isn't a monkey in the bath and doesnt touch taps etc.

    She did try to climb IN the bath first (at about 18 months), she fell in head first and came up looking like a wet cat - was hilarious - but scared her suficiently that she has never attempted it again

    My son is 22months now and he's been able to climb out of our bath for a few months now, though our bath is sunk into the ground a little so its not to high to climb out. So for me I can't really leave him unattended yet cause i think its too slippery if he decides to quickly climb out (he is clumsy at the best of times already).
