I think the "small kids don't sort" comments are not universal. It depends on the kid. My 2.5 year old likes to sort his toys. Heck, he tells me sometimes when things are out of place. We use a combination of small sorting and large baskets/ bins to hold all of our toys. He often mixes toys while playing but puts them back into their separate bin/basket/bag when cleaning up. The organization allows him to find what he's looking for and keeps my sanity...

We're lucky. Our 11 month old is a fantastic sleeper, but when he needs it - he needs it right then apparently. He has fallen asleep in a grocery cart, in a backpack carrier, in his high chair (once as he was taking a bite), on an ATV with his granddad, on a golf cart with his other granddad, and once while he was climbing up me. We've had tons of laughs about this.
