Could definitely be worse

I'm sitting on my old couch in the garage with my laptop, 'cause Rhys fell asleep in the car and I'm crappy at moving him into his crib. Thing is, I did this for his morning nap too.

Poor kid. Such a klutz for a mom. There's a lot more I could get done if he were sleeping inside, too, but oh well.

Am I the only mom ever with arms too short to put her baby in the crib without startling him by sorta-dropping him the last inch or two, even when I use a stepstool?

I used to do that all the time. Not having to is one of the main benefits of having taught her to go to sleep on her own. My arms are just barely long enough, provided Piet remembers to leave the side of the crib down. If he doesn't, I will invariably wake her up by shifting her around while I try to get enough hands free to put the side of the crib down!

Does he roll much? If not, he's old enough now that you could put him on your bed, hemmed in with pillows, and he'd be fine.
