Here stands a little Troy on the small baby gate, wishing his mommy would stop taking pictures already and take him over to her side.

Swinging your leg over a three foot tall baby gate–not the one in the picture–about ten zillion times daily does wonders for your flexibility.

Doing so with a baby in your arms does… something good. Improves your… strength. Or something.

And doing so with a sleeping baby in your arms, gently enough to keep him fast asleep as he’s then placed in his crib… that just means your starting to learn how do this “mommy-thing.”
