When his mother is busy at work, the little one is unwrapped so as to set
his arms and hands free, and is then laid upon the blankets and cloths,
and left to squirm and amuse himself as best he can.
The mother hangs all sorts of beads and bright and jingling things to the
arch over the baby’s head. When he lies strapped down, the mother sets all
these things to jingling, and the baby lies and blinks at them in great
wonder. When his little hands are free to move, the baby himself tries to
strike and handle the bright and noisy things.
