I'm starting to rebel against the whole wrapping process. When I was littler I could only lie there and flop about a bit while Mum or Dad wrapped me really tightly in a sheet. I'd squawk a bit, but they did it anyway. Now I'm getting bigger and stronger I can resist a bit more emphatically. As soon as they lay me on my back to spread out the sheet, I start crying. Then when they wrap the first side over my arm, I start working it upwards. By the time they've tucked the second side in, I've worked both arms upwards. This is when they usually unwrap and start again, doing it tighter and forcing my arms down.

I like my arms to be free. I like to suck on my fingers and wave my arms about. But I do get a bit upset when I knock my dummy out. Or when I catch my fingers in the handle and end up squashing it sideways into my cheek. And I do get distracted when my arms are free - I watch them instead of falling asleep. So I can understand why they like to wrap me up, and I do stop crying pretty quickly and fall asleep. Usually. Except when I haven't had a poo in two days. Then I just yell.
