If they're not safe they should go, but MAN when I'm watching the niece I wish I had a drop-side crib. It's the lowering that wakes her up.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
What a blah day at work. Two-year freeze on raises and promotions. I got hired in October of last year, too late for last year's raise cycle, so now I'm looking at three and a half years of work with no possibility of any kind of raise.
I am not long for this area of nowhere, I tell you what. I want to live in a city again.

We got rid of the dropside a few months ago, and I have no problem using the fixed sided crib, despite being under 5'. I was surprised.

Because books.
Sara's drop side was stuck in the UP position, so we never used it anyway.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Aimee!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Same story with Ryan's crib. We can drop it with a lot of faffing around, but it's just not worth it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Whenever I've babysat a little baby, I can never get them into the crib -- I reach over the side of the crib, lower my arms as far as I can, and the baby is still at least a good six inches above the bottom of the crib. With bigger kids who can go into the crib while they're still awake, I can hold onto them under the arms and get them in far enough that their feet are on the mattress, and kind of ease them into a sitting position and let them lie down by themselves. There is no way I could get an already-sleeping toddler into a crib.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks for the link to the other shoe dropping, megan. After a number of clicks before, I had wondered how long it took Pix to post back/accept.

Congratultions, Aimee!
There are times when I ponder what it would have been like to have a "real" proposal. But I like how the marriage turned out, so not having one is okay.
(We were flying home from the UK, my first-trip outside of the US. Thanks to a mix-up, we weren't seated next to each other. Me, already tired and stressed, started crying. Big-haired goth girl in all black, holding a fanged bunny on her lap and crying. After much negotiating with people in the seats around us, Pete got them to trade, and sat down next to me.
"It's okay," he told me, patting my hands and wiggling Clovis' ears at me. "When we're married, I'll be able to take care of this stuff easier."
::sniffle sniffle:: "Yeah, I know." ::pause:: "Wait, what?" )
