I am trapped in my bedroom

I put baby b down for a nap earlier, and came in here to check emails etc. The plan is then to go into the spare room and do business-related stuff on the other computer. This will involve walking past baby b's door.

I have finished what I need to do in here. He isn't asleep yet. I was just thinking I might have to get him out of his cot, take the laptop downstairs and work there, as leaving him lying alone and awake in his cot for much longer might constitute abuse and/or neglect. (I'm not going to tell you how long he's been there.)

I'm pretty sure he's not asleep, but he has gone all quiet. So now I am cautious about going past his room in case I stop him going to sleep.

It's fraught, this parenting business.

I'm going to peep round the door now. Possibly on all fours. Nobody tells you about this aspect of being a mother.

He's asleep! Off I trot.
