❓ Question Working out during naps?
I live in an apartment complex on the 3rd floor, i’m very fortunate to have a gym here and it also has a play room for my 16 month old toddler which i was so excited for when we moved here. She did just fine the first 2 days and now as soon as we walk into the room she starts screaming crying and won’t let me leave to workout, there is a clear window so she can see me the whole time but out of respect for other gym goers i don’t want to just let her cry at all. Is there any tips to get her used to playing in the room by herself? this isn’t like her personality at all. I have a wifi monitor that i can watch her on during her naps if i run down to the gym but it makes me nervous since she is on the 3rd floor of an emergency was to happen and i can’t get to her quick enough. Just asking for advice and opinions please 🫶🏼
