Cocooning.

Jacob’s been a little bit odd lately. I’m not sure what it is, but he’s had a moment of either sheer brilliance or lunacy. Laureen found a dress at the thrift store which essentially looks like a shift. It’s copper colored, sleveless, etc. Jacob likes to get in through the neck hole and work his way into the dress, shouting “cocoonie! cocoonie!” He keeps saying that and wriggling into the dress until he’s completely encased by it. Then, he stays quiet for a minute.

Of course, he emerges pretending to be a butterfly after that.

I don’t know why it helps him to go to sleep, but the act of doing that actually helps him calm down from an over-cortisoled day.
