Either I am completely inept, our crib mattress is a shade too small...or maybe a combination of both? Perhaps others have this problem and it's not just me after all. My least favorite chore around here is changing the crib sheet. It's impossible! I feel like a complete failure while trying to wedge that crib sheet onto the mattress. Do they make these things too small on purpose? I stretch one corner over the mattress and as I stretch the opposite corner, the first one pops loose. I try two corners on one end, only to have them both pop off when I attepmt the other end. I yank, pull, groan, pull some more, almost cry, and eventually have it on "good enough". "Good enough" means it has a 60% chance of staying put while a child lays on it, however, the corners of the sheet are not well lined up with the mattress corners, there are wrinkles all across the surface, and the seams look as if they may burst apart.
I am considering hiring someone to change Nate's sheets from now on, or maybe I can sweetly ask my mother-in-law to do it every time she comes over to visit.
