[aft Bro's friend says she has all the little like] thanks Chi. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/rocet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] play with that [magnets] for like about ten minutes.
I'll stop you in a while. [MOT and Chi sit at a table; they have just been given the magnets which are all stuck to the black base; Mot and Chi begin by removing the magnets from the base] do I get to play or just her? oh yeah. both of you. that's something you guys can do together. oh yeah. want me to move this [referent unclear]? I wish I could do this to Troy [Chi's brother] one day. [during the pause, MOT and Chi play separately with the pieces which are now spread out across the table] [holds up the yellow wand; two balls and one silver man dangle in a line from the wand] now why would you wanna do that [hang him in the air like the silver man hangs from the yellow wand] to my son? [Chi and Mot discuss how Chi's brother hits Chi and Mot too hard when he plays with them because he's stronger than them] [builds a mini-pyramid; on top of the yellow wand, she places two balls and on top of them, stands a silver man] [Chi builds this pyramid while she talks with Mot] no. [Chi thinks Mot has taken a piece which Chi did not want Mot to take] no what? oh you can take that [referent unclear]. [the referent cannot be seen because it is blocked by Mot's hands; it is a piece Mot picks up with the horseshoe magnet and it was next to the yellow wand] oh here's another one [silver man] on the turtle. you want the one [silver man] on the turtle? [pushes the turtle with the silver man stuck to it toward Chi] no. he's [silver man on the turtle] goin' for a ride. [lines up the blue bear on top of the blue arrow next to the turtle carrying the silver man] xxx [? my turn] in the middle? [MOT may be asking if it's her turn to use the black base] no. hey watch out!
there's a storm comin'! [holds the horseshoe magnet with a blue paper clip attached to it] %int: higher pitched; either the voice of the silver men on the black base, or of the blue bear and silver man which Mot lined up on the blue arrow and turtle respectively [on the black base, Chi has arranged several standing silver men around a silver stick which stands in the middle of the base] xxx this [white ball]. [touches white ball which is on the yellow wand] oh it's [white ball] xxx. [MOT removes finger from the white ball; Chi moves the yellow wand, with the red, orange, and white balls on top, next to the black base] okay. [during the pause, MOT attaches objects to the horseshoe magnet and Chi continues playing with the silver men and silver stick on the black base; early in the pause, Chi pulled the yellow wand away from the black base and the red ball remained attached to the base; when she moved the wand back toward the red ball and the black base, the ball was repelled by the tip of the wand and rolled upward on the base until the wand could slide under it; Chi repeats this demonstration about five times] xxx hold up. [a ball dropped from the horseshoe magnet, MOT removes other pieces from the horseshoe magnet as well] need this one [silver stick]? no. the flying turtle. [moves the horseshoe magnet through the air, from which dangles a silver man with his legs around the plastic turtle's head] 'kay? you didn't look at my flying turtle. look at my flying turtle. I didn't know Dana could fly. [it is unclear who Dana is] see? I didn't know Dana could fly. I mean this [yellow wand] is a heavy one [magnet]. [lifts up the yelllow wand and several pieces attach to the wand] it [yellow wand] picks up everything. and this [black base]. [indicates the black base with index finger] this is dumb [? xxx stop]. [Chi holds the yellow wand, MOT put a few nuts on it, Chi removed the nuts from the yellow wand and when Mot goes to put other object on the wand, Chi pulls the wand away]
oh look at Wanda. [on the yellow wand, Chi has lined up the horseshoe magnet, the blue arrow, and the blue bear; Chi shows has called Mot's attention to the set-up on the wand; the tier above shows Mot's response] [Wanda may refer to the blue bear] okay this [silver stick] is gonna stay up here [on top of a stack of nuts, a washer, and a silver ball] this time. [this is the second time Mot has attempted to put the silver stick on the stack of objects; the first time the stick fell off] %int: mumbled these things [silver sticks] are so skinny. [holds a silver stick and tries to make it stand on the yellow wand] look xxx. [heavy sigh]. [the silver stick, which Chi has been trying to stand up on the black base, fell] Chi [? so]? alright here's the launching pad for the station. [two nuts are stacked on top of each other and a silver ball is on top of them; the square checker-board magnet rests against them from behind; the turtle with the silver man stradling its shoulders appears to be watching this set up] okay. that's great. thank you very much. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/joeet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] what's this? oh that xxx one of those... um so we brought all these things to play with that we brought with you to play I think at like another visit. oh magnet! ha xxx. so we'd like you guys to play with 'em and talk about 'em and... hey!

I know. we're losing them. we hafta get more acrobat guys. what are acro... oh those? these guys right here? what Bro has. yeah. here. [videotape starts at this point] [Chi has the yellow wand; the tray full of metal objects is open next to Chi's arm]
[hands a silver man to Bro] and then those magnetic balls? [holds the yellow wand over the open tray, and many washers, nuts, and silver sticks affix themselves to the wand] um I bought them some of those at the Stratus Store? [picks up some more the the object from the plastic tray, and drops them on top of the yellow wand he is holding; many stick, although the non-attracting objects such as the penny fall to the table] have you heard of that? no. uhuh. is it in... it's like The Nature Company at Faneuil hall with all those natural things? [tries to stick a nut and a coin onto the metal wand; the nut sticks and the penny falls.] they have like environmental stuff? [puts the wand down on the green triangle, and lifts up the wand with the triangle hanging from the bottom] mom. [holds up the wand for Mot to see, then picks up the purple star and tries to affix it to the top of the yellow wand] what? [tries to affix the purple star to the far end of the yellow wand] [the purple star does not stick and falls to the table] [tries to affix the purple star to the far end again, and it falls to the table again] why willn't it stick? [tries to affix the star again, and it falls again] [laughs]. [holds the purple staar against the far end of the wand for a fourth time] maybe it's just too heavy. that's all. [reaches over and tries to take the purple star] [pulls the wand and star back out of Mot's reach] [as Chi pulls the magnet back, most of the nuts and washers hanging from it fall off] it's stickin' to the bottom. [sings circus music].
[picks up the yellow triangle and tries to affix it to the yellow wand] [the yellow triangle falls to the table] that's not a sticky side. dead rat. [presses the yellow wand down on the yellow triangle, and lifts it back up, but the triangle does not stick] okay. [picks up the washer and sticks it to the opposite side of the yellow wand] yeah it is [the other side is sticky]. [Chi holds the wand so that Mot can see the washer sticking to the opposite side of the wand] yeah but this one [end of the wand] here must not. [points to the end of the wand] yeah. [explosion sound]. [BRO is playing with his own magnets] right there see? oh yeah. [picks up a green triangle and tries to stick it to the side of the wand, but it falls off] okay. so. [picks up the green triangle again and sticks it to the side of the wand] where is it? [picks up a coin and then drops it, then picks up another shape and sticks it to the wand] where did I just drop a magnet here? [picks up a nickel and tries to stick it to the wand, but it falls to the table] okay. so this guy's gonna go... [BRO is referring to his own magnets] [picks up the nickel again for a moment, but then puts it down, picks up a nut, and sticks it to the wand] [chuckles]. [smiles].
[tries to affix the blue square to the yellow wand] where did this [plastic tray] come from? oh she had... you had this in here? %add: EXP yeah they were in there. you should see their X Men card collection. [X-Men are comic book characters] real cards. decent cards. [manages to get the blue square to stick to the yellow wand] [chuckles]. %int: softly comic cards stuff. uhhuh. instead of baseball cards you get those Marvel comics in the cards. [both the blue square and a red circle fall off of Chi's wand] oh okay. huge? [picks up the blue square and re-affixes it to the yellow wand] yeah their father is an addict. [laughs]. [picks up the red circle and tries to affix it to the yellow wand] he's got compulsive behavior and he um takes them on Saturday in the pursuit of comic cards. um. [laughs]. [EXP is laughing at something Bro is doing] not really 'cause Tony's car's... [the red circle falls off the yellow wand] [takes the blue square off the yellow wand]
oh that's neat! [points at a trick Bro did with some silver men] look at what he's [Bro] doin'. [looks over at what Bro's trick] 'cause Tony's car broke down and Tony always wants dad to drive him everywhere. look at that [Bro's silver man trick]. how're you doin' that [silver man trick]? %add: BRO the force is just pushing... oh so dad blames it on Tony? no. that he's... he doesn't blame it on Tony. it's just that we do go out for fun. %int: a little defensive yeah I know. just with him but... I know. but I think that you should do other things than just go looking for comic cards. it's not Tony's fault. we do. %int: annoyed [tries to affix the blue square to the yellow wand] we do. [the blue square falls off the yellow wand onto the table] we're gonna go to the movies or bowling today. today? today. good. [resumes trying to affix the blue sqare to the yellow wand, this time successfully]
ugh! oh. %int: under his breath [chuckles]. [EXP is chuckling at Bro's magnet play] [affixes the red circle to the yellow wand] you wanna try Ma? no that's alright. you can play. 'oop'. I have all of 'em [nuts, silver sticks, and magnetic shapes] stuck on. [holds up yellow wand for EXP to see] okay. that's true. well there's some stuff that's stuck to the bottom of uh the base there. [EXP is referring to a nut and a red magnetic ball which are stuck to the bottom of Bro's magnet] yeah. think you got 'em. [removes the ball from the black base and places it near Chi, and then does the same with the nut] [picks up the red magnetic ball and affixes it to the yellow wand] Chi do it [Bro's black base] to that [Chi's yellow wand]. [brings the black base over in front of Chi close to the yellow wand] hold on to... [as Bro holds the black base in the air, Chi sticks the end of the yellow wand to the bottom of the black base] [takes the black base away from Chi's wand and puts it back down on the table] no stick it [yellow wand] to... [brings the yellow wand down and touches it to the top of the black base] to the front [top of the black base]. no no no. no.
[puts his hand on the yellow wand to remove it from the black base] let's make somethin'. oh yeah. [pulls the yellow wand off of the black base] [holds the black base down as Chi pulls the yellow wand off of it] aw. [most of the objects which Chi had affixed to the yellow wand came off onto the black base] do you do other twins? [MOT and EXP have a conversation for :45 about whether there are other twins in the study, and how many people are in the study] [begins pulling the remaining objects off the yellow wand; then takes a silver stick off the wand, and begins to use the silver stick to try to push the other objects off the wand, unsuccessfully; then pulls the rest of the objects off the yellow wand with his hands; then removes a silver stick from the objects Bro is taking off the black base, so that he now has two silver sticks in his right hand] okay. [tries to stand one of the silver sticks straight up and down on the yellow wand, but it falls over; then holds the two silver sticks up straight up and down on the yellow wand, trying to get them to stay standing] my friend was born in eighty three. [EXP has just explained when the kids in the study were born] [continues to try to get the two silver sticks to saty upright, unsuccessfully; then puts a silver stick upright on the yellow wand and lets it fall such that it snaps into place on the magnet; he does this twice; then puts the silver sticks down and picks the yellow wand off the table] [at this point the videotape skips 131 of the interaction; the following section is from audio tape only] 'cause they move too far away. [EXP has been talking about why people drop out of the study] didn't mean to do that. [hums]. look it. can I see one of those guys? no I wanna make something. so what time is your father coming for you [Bro and Chi] 'cause I wanted to go to the Audubon and see the masks. one. I don't wanna to go the Audubon. you can. hm. I hate the Audubon. [sighs].

Natick has a um Audubon society in a xxx place. oh. what're you [EXP] doing? in art or something the fourth graders made masks? puttin' film in it? uhhuh. uh I think they're animal masks? no they aren't!

I told you yesterday what our plans for the day were. [videotape continues at this point] [Chi still has the yellow wand, on which are several of the colored magnetic shapes and a silver stick or two] no you didn't. [pulls off all of the things which were stuck to the yellow wand] did you? [puts the yellow wand down and picks up a silver stick] yeah. [reaches over to Bro's construction to place the silver stick on it] hey hey okay. [blocks Chi's arm to prevent him from putting the silver stick on the construction] wait after I stick this guy's [silver man] head through here. [a portion of the construction falls over] [tries to right the section of the construction that had fallen over] 'kay. hm. [succeeds in repairing the fallen part of the construction] [the silver stick he's been holding in his right hand sticks to the silver man he's just fixed] okay add all you want there. what the heck?
[Chi is commenting on the silver stick sticking to the silver man on the construction] [when Chi pulls on the silver stick, it ends up sticking to the head of the silver man, pointing straight up in the air] [picks up the orange plastic monster and moves it over towards the black base, holding it over the construction] oh you can balance... [Chi may be suggesting that they balance the monster on the metal pieces] [pulls the silver stick off the silver man, causing the silver man to fall over again] oh. [laughs]. [begins to repair the fallen pieces] he stuck to it. there. [laughs]. I like that. that gorilla. [puts some objects on the wand] I follow the star [magnetic star]. [tries to position an nut onto the middle of the yellow wand] whoops. [is unsuccessful putting the nut on the wand; he puts the nut and some other metal pices on the table next to the wand, and they jump and affix themselves to the wand] %int: high pitched [may be annoyed at things that are sticking to the yellow wand when he doesn't want them to] what? %add: MOT [meaning what are you looking at me that way for] [laughs]. nothing. [smiles]. [begins taking all the objects off of the wand] just tired. get all of these [metal objects] far away.
[brushes all the metal pieces around him across the table, and well out of the reach of the yellow wand's magnetism] this is the monkey. [BRO is talking about his magnets] [puts the nut in the middle of the yellow wand, and a silver man standing upright on top of the nut] and he [monkey] goes died. [places a silver stick so that it stretches across the two arms of the silver man, looking as though the silver man were lifting the silver stick above its head] 'cause this [silver man] is the black magnet dude. [talking about his own toys] he's carrying it mom. mom he's carrying it. he [the black magnet dude] go like that. %int: under his breath yeah? he looks strong. go... %int: under his breath oh. [grunts]. [holds up the wand with the silver stick-carrying silver man again] he's [silver man] the Hulk. [the Hulk is a a very strong action character] [waves the wand around slowly] [collision sound effects]. he's the Hulk. %int: laughing who's carrying whom? he's [the Hulk] carrying that [silver stick]. oh. oh awesome! and then he's stepping on something.
[points to the nut that the silver man is standing on] %int: under his breath like a statue. [puts a metal object on the wand near the silver man] he is a statue [chuckling]. yeah. that's... that's true. [puts the green magnetic triangle on the yellow wand, and a nut on top of the triangle] okay. [puts a silver man on top of the nut] Chi your neck is all hung over again. [vocalization]. %int: softly [picks up a silver stick and places it on the silver man so that it sticks stright up off of the silver man's head] balance it [silver stick] on his [silver man] head. %add: EXP oh cool! [chuckles]. circus act. [laughs]. straighten up your shoulders. %int: admonishing no. [moves the silver stick so that it is horizontal on the silver man's head rather than straight up] he's like always hunched here. oh. and then he complains. hard habit to break. [moves the silver stick on the silver man's head so that it is vertical again]
die. %int: $=2 low pitched voice, Hulk's voice [slides the yellow wand along the table as if moving it to knock down Bro's construction] [collision sound effect]. [sound effect for the wand hitting Bro's magnets] [stops the wand short of actually touching any of Bro's magnets] [laughs]. [sinister laugh]. [slides the wand back over closer to himself] okay [chuckles]. [lifts the yellow wand and removes a washer that had stuck to the bottom of it; he then grips the silver stick, the silver man, and the nut and pulls the green triangle out from under them and off the wand] ow! %int: $=2 high pitched, voice of one of the silver men don't hurt me ah. [tosses the washer and the green triangle farther away from him across the table] Bro yours is like artwork. um oh my god. [raises his hand with a silver stick in it as if to put the silver stick on the top of Bro's construction] [brushes away Chi's arm from touching the tower with the silver stick] put that on top one of these things. [pulls his arm back] I want a man. [picks up a silver man near Bro] hey. don't mess up what he's doin'. alright? [puts the silver man on top of the silver man already standing on the yellow wand] [hums]. [picks up another silver man near Bro] how many men [silver men] are there?
there's only a few. [unsuccessfully tries to position the third silver man next to the second silver man] yeah. we only have like four or five. I should... %int: softly, under her breath gotta get some more men. [takes all of the pieces off the yellow wand] this is how it goes. %int: under his breath mom they have these things at the Strident Store Ma? [absentmindedly puts one of the silver men down on the yellow wand] [looks at Mot] no at the stationery store in Woburn center. they have these kind of things? [puts a second silver man next to the first on the wand] they've got those acrobat men you guys. oh they do? [puts a third silver man on top of the first two, forming a pyramid] %int: eager let's go there. [tries to straighten and steady the pyramid of three silver men] [chuckles]. [chuckles]. I wanna get some. oh! [commenting on Bro's play with his magnets] oh cool. watch that. [takes the top silver man off the pyramid]
[one of the bottom silver men falls over] [laughs]. [responds to Bro's play] bleh. [puts one of the silver men aside and works on trying to position the other two on the metal wand] [coughs]. [laughs]. [laughs at Bro's play] you know the magic trick when they have the big box and the guy sticking the swords in? [commenting on Bro's magnets] yeah. [again places two silver men side by side on the yellow wand] [chuckles]. [reacts to Bro's play] [sighs]. [picks up another silver man and begins to position it with the others on the wand] tape run out? yeah I gotta flip it. holding too many gadgets in my hand at this moment. can he [silver man] sit on the pole Bro? like a teeter-totter? what do you mean? like less. [takes all of the silver men off the yellow wand; he drops one and it jumps onto the wand] sit on the pole? [removes and resticks a silver man to the yellow wand a few times] no probably not. [uses a silver stick to pry a silver man off the yellow wand] mom he's [silver man] sitting on the pole. no.
I meant between his legs. oh. %int: very softly oh. [positions his silver stick and magnet in the same way Bro had it a moment before with the silver stick stright up and the silver man horizontal on top of it] [lifts the silver stick and silver man combination up off the yellow wand; when the silver stick is no longer in contact with the wand, the silver man falls off the silver stick] that would hurt. [puts the silver man aside and picks up another one, putting it on the yellow wand, then puts the silver stick vertically on top of the wand] [laughs]. now try sittin' him on the pole the other way. like a teeter-totter. [has added a third object to his silver stick and silver man combination] see if he's [third object] magnetic like that. help we're melting. %int: high pitched singsong [pulls all the objects off the yellow wand and pushes them out of magnetism range] wait. oh! wait. okay. no. just wondering. he [referent unclear] doesn't stick that way. that? you [? just] show me. [has a silver man on the yellow wand, a silver stick vertically on top of the silver man's head, and is attempting to affix another silver man to the top of the silver stick] look at that. [experiments with Bro's magnets] he's [referent unclear] not magnetic like that. so did you...
looking like he's [referent unclear]... his negatives and his positives aren't right. [lets go of one piece of his construction and the rest of it falls over along with the first piece] [laughs]. only because of this [the black base]. help me. %int: high pitched, voice of a play character [tilts a silver stick back and forth over a silver man like a see-saw] you [metal pieces] hafta do that [be connected to the magnetism of the black base]. oh. it's [metal pieces] charged to the metal. go ahead. %add: $=2 Bro see... he [silver man] still isn't gonna... [positions two silver men side by side on the yellow wand] no it [silver man] sticks. not between his [silver man] legs. [removes a silver stick from one of the two silver men on the wand, and the silver man tilts over] oh! oh? did it? yep. oh. that's what I was wonderin'. [continues to try to position the two silver men on the wand] watch. ready? [removes the two silver men from the wand] I'll take it off.
[demonstrates something to Mot and EXP] [picks up a nut, and places it vertically on the yellow wand] [Chi looks at Bro's tower construction in preparation to copy it] [picks up a second nut and places it on top of the first] I'll make one of those [Bro's construction]. 'oop'. I'm gonna try it right now. ready? [the camera loses focus for a moment, when it clears Chi has two nuts and two washers stacked in a tower on the yellow wand] that's be' this base is probably real strong and it's makin' all the magnets strong. [points at the black base] I know. ready? help. %int: high pitched, play character's voice [begins to push a silver stick through the hole of one of the washers] I can't fit it [silver stick] through without the magnetic force takin' it. which one? oh! which one can't work Chi? this. [takes a few of the pieces off his tower and puts them aside] okay. it willn't slide through. [slides a silver stick through one of the washers] this guy... [carefully places a silver man on one end of the silver stick] has it on the... %int: speaking under his breath nope.
[the silver man falls off and sticks to the yellow wand] huh that's like a circus act. [talks about Bro's construction] [takes the silver stick out of the washer] [laughs]. stand on the star. %int: sing song [$=2 talks about his own magnets] whoops. is Ghost Writer on tonight mom? [Ghost Writer is the name of a tv show] I don't know. yeah it is. I don't have the t v schedule memorized. it's on... [laughs]. [pulls the silver stick out of the uppermost nut; then picks up the uppermost nut, and the rest of the tower and the yellow wand hang on; then holds the whole thing high above his head, and the yellow wand falls off and crashes to the table] ah! %int: surprised [responds to the wand falling] [puts the wand flat on the table again, and puts a nut in the middle of it; then stacks a second nut on the first] oh wow [clears throat]. [puts two washers on his construction] [MOT, INV, and Chi talk about the George Carlin tv show, Yorkshire terriers, a past experience with a dog, and dog allergies for a long time; Bro plays on his own and joins in the conversation only once or twice] [$=19 while Mot, INV, and Chi talk, Chi does the following actions] [puts a silver man on one foot on top of his tower] [puts another silver man at the base of the tower, but it leans forward and he has to hold it up with his hand] [still steadying the silver man at the base with his left hand, Chi puts a third silver man on top of the tower, and holds it there with his right hand] [aft the silver man at the base falls over face first] [takes the top silver man off the construction and removes the fallen silver man from the base]
[straightens the pieces on the tower] [tries to position a silver stick straight up and down on top of the tower] [lets go of the silver stick, and it falls over into his hand, then restocks the silver stick to the tower, and is stays in plave this time] [sticks a silver man to the middle of the tower] [tries to stick something else to the middle of the tower] [the silver stick on top falls over] [pulls back the silver stick so that it attaches to the length of the tower] [puts another silver man on the top of his tower and steadies the tower] [aft the top silver man falls off] [puts another silver man on top of the tower] [removes a fallen silver man from near the base of the tower on the yellow wand] [takes the topmost silver man off of the tower] [takes the washer off the tower, leaving only the two nuts as the base with some of the fallen washers stuck to the side of it] [puts a silver man near the two nuts on the yellow wand and then removes it] [puts a silver stick up against the washers stuck to the side of the base, positioned as a ramp leading from the side of the tower down to the table top] [puts a silver man on the ramp and tries to arrange and straighten the construction] look it! I'm makin' a playground! yeah! is that the slide? yep. [puts a silver man at the top of the slide and holds it there with his hand] hey he's [silver man] goin' down head first. [seems to move the silver man down the slide with his hand] [laughs]. let's hope it's a soft landing. ugh! [the silver man falls off the slide and sticks upside down to the side of the yellow wand] ah! help!
oh! [turns the yellow wand so EXP can see it] uh he crashed. [knocks the slide upwards so that it is horizontal in the air, rather than leaning toward the ground, and then fixes the slide] [laughs]. crashed head first. ouch. [puts another silver man at the top of the slide] well you know what we could do now... = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/rilet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] it's all set. goody. and you can play for about ten minutes. that's [referent unclear] pretty cool huh Chi? [laughs]. [laughs]. look. [points to black base] that guy's [silver man on base] doin' a... yeah. wanna try this one [horseshoe magnet]? [offers horseshoe magnet to Chi] this one [horseshoe magnet] doesn't move 'em. yours [yellow wand] is stronger. [holds yellow wand over a silver man on the black base; it causes the silver man to stand up on the base] [laughs]. there you go. keep doing like that.
hm. oh. that guy disconnected to you. pretty neat. [mumbles] [holds yellow wand over black base again; yellow wand sticks to base] oh no. strong. look at... [moves yellow wand over black base again; a silver stick sticks to the wand] yeah. look at Chi. [stands two silver men on top of one another on the black base] oh cool. here. [pulls a silver man off the yellow wand and puts it on top of the two silver men on the black base] he's [silver man] gonna xxx the guy. oh! [the stack of three silver men falls over] xxx just fell. [stands the three silver men back up on top of one another on the black base] there we go. where's another guy? oh. thanks. [picks up a silver stick and tries to stick it to the construction; it falls] ah! [laughs]. hey look. xxx on this.
teddy bear on top of him [silver man at top of construction]. [attempts to place the plastic teddy bear on top of the construction; it falls] he's [plastic teddy bear] not... I don't think... it's [plastic teddy bear] plastic. it [plastic teddy bear] is? [picks up yellow wand and taps plastic teddy bear with it] yeah. yeah. the turtle. [picks up plastic turtle in one hand and holds the yellow wand over it with the other] 'kay. it [referent unclear] didn't go. Mom... [laughs]. [laughs]. [successfully attemtps to place a magnet ball on top of a washer that the silver man at the top of the construction is holding] yay! you got it [magnet ball]! [adds a nut to the top of the construction] no. a quarter. [holds horseshoe magnet over the nut at the top of the construction] hold on! ah! [MOT has pulled the construction apart with the horseshoe magnet] [laughs]. oh look what you just did. [laughs]. I'm gonna get money.
[puts the quarter on top of the yellow wand; it slips off the yellow wand] will the money stay there [on yellow wand]? yeah. it'll [quarter] stay. [taps the quarter with the yellow wand] the... this [yellow wand] is strong. [yellow wand has picked up a washer and two nuts that were nearby the quarter] [clears off washer and two nuts from the yellow wand] there's another guy [silver man] down there. [points to a silver man on the table] oh there's another guy [silver man]. [picks up silver man from table] he does like this. [attempts to place silver man on top of the other silver men on the black base; then attempts to add a nut which causes all the men to fall] oh! no. uh! oh no. okay. try this one [yellow wand maybe]. [holds out yellow wand with some objects stuck to it] this one [yellow wand] is stronger. [is probably comparing the strength of the yellow wand to the strength of the horseshoe magnet that Chi is holding] okay. [takes yellow wand from Mot and clears off objects] let's do some tricks. well go ahead. no. [attempts to place a silver man on top of two others on the black base; then attempts to add a nut to the top]
no! does oh. %int: under her breath he did this. %int: muttered [laughs]. here you go. %int: muttered oh cool! keep goin' like steps. [is referring to washers that Mot has added to the construction which are stacked to look like steps] don't think it'll hold. don't fall. %add: washer that she is trying to place on construction 'kay. get that [washer] there. %int: mumbled 'kay mom. now do... what? with these [washers] up? [reaches to move washers and they fall; the rest of the construction also falls] oh! [laughs]. 'kay. where does this guy [silver man] go? where do you wan' 'im [silver man] to go? whoa! [attempts to balence silver man on top of two others on the black base] okay.
okay w what are you gonna put on there? ball. uh. okay. let's do this. [begins to clear some of the objects off the black base] oh there's another guy. hold on. look. I hadta do that [referent unclear]. [laughs]. I know you did. this [black base] is a really strong. this magnet [black base]. [points to black base] yeah. I know huh? [phone rings] uh phone. phone. okay. let's take you guys [silver men] all xxx something. [pulls silver men off black base] [MOT answers phone, talks very briefly, and hangs up] [sneezes]. oh excuse me. bless you. here you go. [has made a pyramid construction on the black base with the silver men] [laughs].
no? [laughs]. [moves silver stick toward Chi's construction] [gasps]! whoa. I almost got it [Chi's construction]. look. [holds the silver stick to one silver man on the construction; he moves slightly; sticks silver stick to the silver man] oh! he's [silver man] doin' tricks. [holds a magnet ball over the silver stick as if she is going to place it there] I don't think... [takes magnet ball away] here's another one [silver stick]. oh mom! what. [laughs]. you want me to do it? [attempts to stick second silver stick to the construction; it falls] he's xxx. %int: whispered uh! look. this guy's. okay. mom you gonna make it [construction] fall? I willn't make it fall. [moves silver stick toward construction again] oh! [vocalization].
now I did [made construction fall]. now you did. uh! oh! this is hard. [pulls objects off black base] look at those paper clips. [stands a paper clip on the silver circle on the black base] I know. once you put it [paper clip] there it [paper clip] dances! [laughs]. it [paper clip] stays. [attempts to stand a paper clip up on the black base] stay. %add: paper clip dance. %add: paper clip that one's [paper clip] dancing along. [holds yellow wand over the paper clip on the black base and moves it so that the paper clip waves on the base] uh! [laughs]. [laughs]. you do it [use wand to make paper clips move]. I can't. oh. [successfully stands a paper clip on the black base] there you go. [takes the yellow wand and waves it over the paper clip] yeah you can. that one's [paper clip] pooped.
yeah I'm gonna get it [paper clip] up for you. [laughs]. hold on. [laughs]. see. see if all of 'em [paper clips] can dance. try to make them [paper clips] get up. I don't think they [paper clips] will. [attempts to stand more than one paper clip up on the base] try to make them [paper clips] get up. [attempts to get more than one paper clip to stand on the black base] %int: mumbled take the xxx. okay. [picks up yellow wand and holds it over the paper clip on the black base] make the ball go xxx. get down. [pulls the paper clip off the black base; uses the yellow wand to pull a silver ball off the black base] ah! [laughs]. okay. let's go. [waves yellow wand over black base] [stands paper clip back up on base] oh. [yellow wand has picked up the paper clip that Mot put back on the black base] no not you [paper clip]. [pulls paper clip off yellow wand] come on. hm.
let's try to get everything off. [pulls objects off the black base] [laughs]. that [paper clip] off and that [red magnet ball] off. [pulls off the paper clip and then the red magnet ball] this one [silver circle] can stay. [puts silver ball in the center of silver circle and then sticks the yellow wand on top of it and holds it there] [laughs]. [laughs]. [mumbles] tadah tadah. %int: sings [holds yellow wand above silver ball and uses it to move the silver ball around the edge of the silver circle] tadah tadah. %int: sings going on xxx. [laughs]. come on. %add: silver ball this way. %add: silver ball xxx for a few minutes. 'kay ready? [repeats action with the yellow wand] ah! it's [silver ball] moving. alrighty. let's see if I can make this [black base maybe] go up. [takes silver ball off black base and sticks yellow wand to the base] you can get them all [unclear referent] to connect.
[puts yellow wand down and picks up the black base; moves it over objects on the table so that they stick to the bottom of the black base] [laughs]. that one's [magnet ball] bouncing. there you go! look at that [string of objects hanging from base]! huh? that's [objects dangling from black base] neat. whoa. hm. get the ball again. ah. [moves black base with dangling objects over a magnet ball on the table until it sticks to the end of the chain of objects] oh! this is Ernest. [turns base over in hand and begins to pick up other objects from table with her hand and put the onto the base] see if that [quarter] will stick. [puts quarter on the base] yup. that [quarter] sticks. oh. [the quarter slides off the base] that one [quarter] doesn't. [laughs]. Chi. [moves yellow wand with some objects stuck to it over the black base in Chi's hand] what? whoa! cool. uh. [laughs].
okay. [clears objects off the black base] now you know I'm just playing. okay. everything is off. now it's [black base maybe] gonna connect. [laughs]. [laughs]. I'm gonna try to make these guys [referent unclear] balance. okay. now I'm gonna put the ball right there [center of black base]. %int: last five words of utterence are sing song now that's [nut] gonna go up there [on top of magnet ball]. now that's [nut] gonna go up... [attempts to place nut on top of the other nut] no that's [nut] not gonna come bounce. [takes nut away] try the paper clips. see what xxx. okay. [picks up a paper clip and holds it over the nut; it pulls the nut off the magnet ball] waloop baloop. uh! [moves a silver stick toward the magnet ball on the black base] [laughs]. okay. hold on. hold on mom! I'm gonna put um. [the magnet ball is the only object on the black base]
uh! [laughs]. okay. that [nut] goes up there [on top of magnet ball]... and... that [silver stick] goes up... %int: whispered [attempts to balence the silver stick in the center of the nut on the magnet ball] doesn't xxx. that's [in the nut] where I want it [silver stick] to go. %int: whispered but it [silver stick] willn't... hm. okay. [puts silver stick so that it is stuck to the side of the black base and touching the table] a ladder. [sings]. [puts a silver man on the silver stick at the side of the base] [laughs]. oh the. it [silver man] almost went up! [sings]. oh! believe it or not it's already been ten minutes. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/pauet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] now the last thing I have you guys do together is... [EXP introduces activity to participants; then EXP and Mot set up room for videotaping while Chi plays with magnets on his own; Sis asks if she can play too, but Mot says no] okay.
[laughs]. what are you doing? [laughs]. you're taking my people away. [laughs]. come on! [laughs]. no wait. [video tape starts here] no. [MOT is stacking silver men on the black base and Chi is picking washers, nuts, and magnets up with the yellow wand] put 'em [silver men] back. [Chi had removed some silver men from Mot's stack] watch. [stacks the silver men] what did. [Chi tries to remove silver men with wand; Mot prevents Chi from doing so] [laughs]. watch. [stacks silver men on top of one another, head to feet] [sighs]. [strange noises]. never seen seen this one [referent unclear] before. what? this one [referent unclear]. one penny. hey! I'll set up an obstacle. [begins lining up nuts and washers on the floor] hm.
hey Chi what do you think I'm doing huh? [restacks silver men side to side] no. [bef Mot took away one of Chi's washers with the purple star] gimme. [Chi takes some of Mot's pieces with the yellow wand] [laughs]. hm [laughs]. [laughs]. she's still doing it. [MOT is taking Chi's pieces with the purple star] [picks up all of Chi's pieces with one sweep of the black base magnet] ahhah! [laughs]. [takes back a few washers and nuts from Mot using yellow wand] now what honey? gimme those [washers and nuts] back. [reaches out for washers and nuts on Chi's yellow wand and takes back some of them] [laughs]. you're givin' her those [washers and nuts] back. %int: whispered [laughs]. you are those [washers, nuts, and black base]. hey gimme these ones [washers]? [strange noise]. ah! [laughs]. ah this [washer] will do it. mommy made art. [has put the silver men, washers, and nuts together on the black base as if it were a sculpture]
mommy. mommy doesn't it? %int: whispered [laughs]. ah! [MOT's sculpture has just fell down] mom can I try? sure. I wanna try somethin' with these guys [silver men]. okay xxx. here let's get 'em [objects on the black base] all off. [MOT and Chi remove all objects from the black base] [laughs]. where did you get this [magnet set] then? I don't know. it's... careful. [laughs]. here ready. you take that one [black base]. all the guys [silver men]. here's another one [silver man]. actually no. %add: SIS [SIS moved the audio tape and is holding it closer to the activity] can you not put it [audio taperecorder] by the magnets? sorry. it [taperecorder] doesn't like 'em [magnets]. if you could just keep it [taperecorder] on the ground. thanks.
hm. like get me a ride. are you guys finished? no. %int: softly ugh. [during the pause Chi tried to add something which looks like a small pink rectangle to the tower and it fell] [mini-tiger roar]. [places orange plastic monster on black base which Chi was using] [laughs]. [roar]. here he [green turtle] comes. he's [green turtle] coming for you. [leans turtle against black base] he's a red eye turtle. [picks up turtle] red eyed turtle. %int: whispered mumble oh. what are a these things [referent unclear]? [holding up and inspecting turtle] oh I thought it [referent unclear] was the one that like stick it [referent unclear] on... and you blow it [referent unclear]. hm. him [orange monster]. him [turtle]. [places the monster and turtle on the black base] that's [purple star] goin' up the top [referent unclear]. it's [purple star] too heavy. I already tried that.
well but you haven't tried this. [places two silver men on the black base, then puts three more on top of them] one more guy [silver man]. %int: whispered no more. here's [? use] a washer. use that [washer]. [MOT points out washer to Chi and Chi puts it on the hands of the two top men, making a platform between the two] hm. %int: whispered alright! [completes his pyramid with the monster on top of the washer platform] tadah. picking up the Pustayto spoon xxx. yeah. that's neat. what? cool. turn it for mom to see. easy. [turns the pyramid around slowly] wow that [pyramid] was cool! nice job Chi. good job. [sudden loud vocalization]. your hand. like this? now you can use this. [slides his pyramid over to Mot and takes pyramid apart] hey let's play this game.
what d' you wanna play? see? it's a game with men [silver men]. um. wait. [MOT placed pink circle and yellow triangle on black base and Chi didn't want them there] what you need is these [silver men, washers, red ball]. this thing [red ball on a washer] goes in the middle. [middle refers to the middle of the black base] help me do this. [during pause Mot is gathering up objects from the floor with the yellow wand and Chi is arranging silver men on the platform in what looks like a circle around the edge of the magnetic base] you make people [silver men]... [MOT has started helping Chi set up the silver men] [laughs]. make them hold hands. [puts the silver men close enough for their hands to touch] [short vocalization]. he [silver man] keeps fallin' down there [laughs]. [silver man has trouble standing upright, keeps falling onto the black base] [laughs]. oh this [red ball and washer] moved. take them [magnets on base] all off. %int: sing-song voice [begins removing silver men from base] wait come back here. %int: strange voice [MOT is pushing the red ball off the base with one of the silver men while Chi is trying to keep the ball on the base] come on. oh yeah? [grabs yellow magnetic wand and starts trying to pick up the silver men]
I'll take all the men [silver men]. [laughs]. he didn't [? if you can] get 'em [silver men] off. [laughs]. [laughs]. they... [picks up black base with the yellow wand and holds it up in the air] [laughs]. [laughs]. [guttural vocalization, like a growl]. [it is unclear who is growling; from the video tape, it doesn't seem to be Mot or Chi] [laughs]. I can't believe this thing [yellow wand] is so strong. xxx the metal [referent unclear]. [laughs]. I wanna make this thing [referent unclear]. [Chi is working with black base, nuts, and washers] I'm gonna make a s ping. [Chi and Mot are both placing pieces on the black base] take everything. [removes objects from black base with Mot's help] ahhah! [removes a flat silver circle from the top of the black base] [play noises]. xxx you get that off? is that [flat silver circle] a mirror? [reaches over to pick up silver circle] oh wow. [looks at silver circle and touches it with a silver stick] oh it [the silver stick] don't stick to this [silver circle]!
[puts down silver circle and silver stick] this [the black base] is the giant magnet. hm. [laughs]. bang! stop falling face first! %add: silver man [Chi is trying to make a silver man stand up on the black base, but it keeps falling flat; Mot then puts the flat silver circle back on the black base, enabling Chi to successfully stand up the silver man on the base] [laughs]. what up? [during pause, MOT and Chi continue putting silver men onto the black base] him [silver man]. I wanted to... him [silver man]. the bar [silver stick]. [places the silver stick on top of one of the silver men] hm. yep [? him]. top stay down. [Chi is building a tower of silver men and seems to be saying that he wants them, especially the top silver man, to stay in position] holdin' a bar [silver stick]. [places a silver stick on the hands of a silver man] him [a silver man]. [places third silver man on top of silver man tower] right? where is... oh. here's another one [a silver man]. here he [orange monster] comes. %int: whispered
[moves orange monster toward Chi's tower] he's gonna get you. %int: whispered [places orange monster on the black base] [laughs]. [places orange monster on top of Chi's silver man tower and the tower collapses] Godzilla willn't quit. ah. oh Godzilla. [laughs]. okay. well Chi you've done a nice job. nothin' else? can I see the video? [laughs]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/diaet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] what we would like you guys to do is try to just play with this stuff for a while. alright. like ten minutes or so. no! not you [Sis]. you can't touch them Sis. because if she brings them to somebody else's house they'll be infected. with the chicken pox. with the chicken pox. so here's all the stuff that you guys can play with. hm. and I'm gonna...
Chi. the one thing we do... hey! there's a penny and a dime and another penny. no on me. look it. look. no. you want let me... she said I could do it too. %int: insistent yep. you both get to do it okay? so you know just like fool around with them. [video begins here] [SIS is heard in the background] oh listen to her [Sis]. this doesn't work. [touches the sheep to the base but then takes it off and tries the orange man] you know what these are Chi? [touches the silver stick to a silver man which stands on the black base] Chi do you know what this is? [touches the base magnet with her index finger] no. [takes the wand from Mot and touches it to the man the way that Mot was] it's a magnet. see? [puts a washer on the base and it sticks] mhm. can you pull it [the washer] off [of the black base]?
what are these [referent unclear]? [points to something on the table] I don't know what this [the yellow wand] is. [picks up the yellow wand] hey what is that [the yellow wand]? what's that [the yellow wand] do? [takes the wand] feel it. [moves the wand over the base] [SIS talks in the background] go in the other room please. %add: SIS it's [yellow wand] makes the ba balls move. [holds the wand above the base with the objects on it; the wand causes the purple ball to move] excuse me. that's okay. yeah. [$=2 Mot is heard in talking to Sis in the background] dad's out. [takes all objects off the base except for the balls] [laughs]. watch. [moves the wand above the balls causing them to move] cool. hey! [MOT has returned to the area with the magnets] that's [moving the balls on the base by waving the wand over them] pretty good. it [a silver man] sticks to it [the wand] too. what's in there [wand]? it's [wand] a magnet!
[shakes the wand] [puts a paper clip on the base] now watch. [tries to get the balls to move using the wand] watch. [tries to get the dime to stick to the wand] put the dime up there [on the yellow wand]. does the dime stick? no. what do we do with the dime? well it [dime] just doesn't stick does it [dime]? no. for some reason... then why do you have these [dime]? because we just dumped a bunch of stuff together. there. see? [puts some objects on the base like the washer that sticks] some of it [objects] works and some of it [objects] doesn't. look. whoa! [puts the wand down and puts washers and silver men on the base; one of the washers sticks to the top of another washer but Chi takes it off and puts it on the base] don't these [a green triangle] stick? [picks up a green triangle and then puts it back down] n now that's [a silver stick] like a magic wand. [touches a silver stick to a silver man] can you pull him [referent unclear] up? [tries to remove an object from the black base using the silver stick] yeah. watch.
watch Ma. [tries to pick a nut off the base with a silver stick] 'oops! where did that one [silver man, maybe] go? underneath. oh. [takes a silver man off the bottom of the base] yeah [laughs]. that's [silver man] a xxx pretty strong guy. hey look Chi! [stacks the silver men on top of each other] wait! let me try! let me. [Chi wants to stack some of the silver men] there's another man [silver man]. let me get this man [silver man]. %int: a little whiny put him [silver man] in the middle. [one silver man stands on the base holding a foot of another silver man in each hand; Mot wants Chi to place her silver man on top of the inverted pyramid, in the middle of the two silver man standing on the one on the base] uhuh. [puts a silver man between two others, in the space indicated previously by Mot, and the silver man stays] [laughs]. wait! here's [on the table] another one [silver man]! alright. [vocalizations]. is he [silver man] stickin'? it [silver man] sticks. [puts another man on top]
oh too heavy. [tries to put a washer on top but it causes them to fall] let me have this [silver man] and this [silver man] and this [silver man]. [picks up the fallen silver man from the base and the table] I'm going to do something now. here wait a minute. give me this book so it doesn't get ruined. [removes The Very Hungry Caterpillar from the table] but [? wait]. what's the lamb for? [picks up the white sheep and sets it down again] and what's this [flat red lego piece] for and this [orange man]? [picks up the red lego piece, touches it to the base and then sets it down again; picks up the orange man and sets it down] xxx actually we just grabbed a bunch of stuff. some of it um that sticks and some doesn't. watch. [stacking men on top of each other] watch. [trying to keep them from falling] pretty good. hold it [wait]. [takes them down] get 'em [silver men] to stay up? [tries to stack them again] put him [a silver man] on top. on top of this one [silver man]. [points to the top silver man] whoops! [the silver men fall over] you having troubles?
[takes all the men off the base] no. [during the pause, Chi stacks the men again one on top of the other and then she takes them down] [MOT moves her arm suddenly and Chi doesn't want Mot to do something, but the situation is unclear] see how far up you can get them [silver men]. [puts the silver men on the base] now watch. [has all the men standing on the base] [takes the objects off the base] pretty neat. [Chi takes all the objects off the base and Mot moves them to one side] wait. [picks up nuts and puts them on the base] wait. let me xxx and xxx. [still putting washers on] am I in your way? no it's fine. [puts balls on top of the washers; when there are no more balls she puts silver men on top of the washers] anything small like that is good for her fingers. oh yeah? for the coordination. right. oh. [takes the objects off the base] you know what you can do Sis I mean Chi? what? um while I um talk with your mom you can take that um all those stuff with you into the other room if you wanna keep working on it. okay. how'd that be?
alright. wanna dump it in the bag? let me give you this easy thing to carry it with you. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/jeaet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] I am going to tape you. [says that she will only tape hands; explains magnets activity and that the activity will go for ten minutes] that's it. [talks about moving something] this [yellow wand] is neat. [picks up yellow wand and sticks it to black base] take all them [objects on black base] off. [begins to pull objects off black base] 'kay. [pulls objects off yellow wand] oh these [magnet balls] are magnets Chi. [drops a magnet ball onto the black base] oh! [laughs]. 'kay. let's build something Chi. [picks up a silver stick and attempts to stand it up on the black base] I don't think that'll [silver stick] stand up. if you go maybe like that it might. [leans silver stick against a silver magnet ball on the black base] they're xxx. 'kay. [drops magnet balls onto the black base] now let's find some of these.
%int: whispered get the xxx going. this person [silver man]... [puts a silver man on black base; then takes him off] here. stand him [silver man] up. [hands silver man to Chi] [tries repeatedly to stand silver man up on the black base but is unsuccessful] [laughs]. I bet I can get him [silver man] to stand on his head. [places silver man on his head on a plastic magnet ball] here. have him [silver man] stand on his head. [picks up another silver man from table and holds it out to Chi] [picks up a silver man from the table and puts him on his head on a magnet ball] oh. hey have these things [silver man] stand on top of this one [silver man already on base]. uh. [attempts to stack a silver man on top of another, but the silver man falls over] whoop'! xxx like that. [points to two silver men that she has stuck together on the black base] oh. mom look. [again indicates the silver men] oh yeah. %int: whispered oh look here Chi. [holds a nut and silver ball which are stuck together over a plastic magnet ball on the platform; the plastic magnet ball moves] aw.
[attempts unsuccessfully to stick a dime to the black base] this [dime] doesn't stick! this [dime] doesn't stick. [attempts unsuccessfully to stick a penny to the black base] none o' the money sticks. oh I know. [picks up the yellow wand which has the silver circle stuck to it and waves it over the black base] hm. [takes yellow wand away from Mot; places it on table and sticks a silver stick to the silver circle] [clears throat]. is that [silver circle?] a magnet? [places a washer on the silver circle] no. I thought... yeah it is! oh. [clears throat]. I'm making a smily face. [Chi is constructing a face on the silver circle with two washers for eyes, a nut for a nose, and a silver stick for a mouth] now that's [face construction] a good idea! how 'bout if we do it [mouth] with clips? [removes silver stick from silver circle] make the smily face with paper clips. pink. for the lips. [takes the paper clips and puts them on the silver circle] oh. do they [paper clips] stick? hm. [clears throat].
they [paper clips] don't stay in one place. [the paper clips keep sliding off the edge of the silver circle] hm. doesn't wanna stay up there. 'oop'! here. try it like this. [reaches over and tries to adjust paper clip so that it stays; it doesn't work] whoop'. there. [the paper clips stay in place] Chi. [reaches to pick up yellow wand; the paper clips slide out of place] no. no! it's [smily face] not done yet! oh. everything's wrecking. sorry. [reaches to replace paper clips] sorry. %int: sing song now I can't get the smile fa done. why? what else 're you gonna put on there? I'm gonna do some hair. oh [chuckle]. there. [Chi has successfully gotten the paper clips in place again] what are you gonna do hair with?
I don't know. these things [silver men] could be hair kind of huh? [picks up a silver man and holds it out for Chi] [takes silver men from Mot and puts them around the top of the silver circle] 'kay. now lift it [yellow wand] up. see if it will stay in place. [picks up yellow wand with silver circle and face construction on it.] oh! show the camera! wow. oh! [moves yellow wand over black base and it sticks; several objects fall off] whoa! oh well! [laughs]. [laughs]. it was good anyways Chi. I got it. I got a picture of it. this time we're [? I'm] gonna build somethin'. [clears off yellow wand and black base] 'kay? what are you gonna build? okay. [laughs]. [places silver circle on black base] [clears throat]. [one of the magnet balls rolls across the table and onto the floor] 'oop'!
I think it [magnet ball] went on the rug. [gets up from table to retrieve ball; it falls off the table again] there you go. [laughs]. almost lost it that time! [leans over and gets ball from floor] [puts yellow and white checked triangle magnet on the black base] that [yellow checked triangle] doesn't stick though. [places various objects on the black base; then takes them all off] ow! %int: whispered these things xxx. %int: whispered [places two silver men on top of one another on the black base] good! see if you can put another one [silver man] on top of that one [silver man] Chi. that's what I did. [clears throat]. tadah! [puts another silver man on top of the stack; all the silver men stick together and Chi uses the top one to lift the others off the black base] [begins to pull silver men back down toward base; one of them falls] no! oh you wanted it [construction of silver men] like that? oh. I thought you wanted it like that Chi. I missed it. hm. [clears throat]. wonder if you could fit that big um bolt [nut] on top of that one [silver man]. [holds another silver man over the one on the black base]
okay. [stacks a third silver man on top of the first two on the black base] pretty neat Chi. [puts a fourth silver man on the stack of men on the black base] oh! pretty good! do you think you can fit him [fifth silver man] on top? [attempts to place a fifth silver man on top of the construction; the stack of silver men falls over] oh! [begins to places silver men on black base next to one another; then begins to stack them on top of one another again] uh! looks like a um... that show on t v where they do... where they stand on each other's shoulders. can I do somethin'? huh? don't wreck it [construction] though. hm. I was gonna go like that but it willn't stay. %int: whispered [picks up silver stick and taps the silver circle on the edge] 'oops! I better not. [places silver stick on edge of silver circle] hm. [clears throat]. very good. [moves horseshoe magnet around construction on the black base; some objects fall] whoa! oh!
hm. [tries to put a washer on top of a magnet ball on the black base but it slides off] doesn't wanna stay there on top. uh! %int: heavy sigh what if you put another one [washer] on top of... what if you put a big screw down there [under the ball?]? I mean bolt. or if you put two of these [washers] on top of each other. put two of those little things [washers] on top of each other. [stacks two washers on top of one another on the black base] yeah. and then put the red thing [magnet ball] in. maybe. [the washers are not lining up exactly on the base] I don't know. doesn't wanna stay. [laughs]. oh good. let me get a close up of that [Chi's construction]. that's great. [talks about the time and ending the activity] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/HSLLD/HV7/ET/tomet7.cha = = = [Home Visit 7] gonna miss somethin'. oh. I'll just watch out. 'cause those things are magnetized. and they demagnetize tapes.
oh. I see. where? that stuff clanking in here. [talks about putting something in another bag] oh look xxx [mumbles]. ah. [video starts here] [MOT and Chi are seated on the floor behind a low table; the magnets are set up on the table in front of them; the black base is full of objects and Chi is working on a construction that consists of silver men and nuts in a stack] it's a new toy. what about some of these things [objects on black base] are on the side? [reaches over to base and begins to pull off objects] Mom. watch. [it is not clear what Chi wants Mot to watch] well how 'bout you take them [objects] off? and then we get to see what we hafta play with here. [continues to remove objects from black base] hey! stop xxx. that's [black base] really strong huh? [it is difficult to determine if Mot is referring to the black base] hey! hey mom watch. [Chi is off camera] mhm. hey! oh! okay. [laughs].
hey! [ball in Chi's hand rolls into the side of the black base] over here. I found another fellow. so is this round thing [silver circle] like the stage? mhm. I see. that's [silver circle] my new stage. you can do whatever you want with those things. [continues to take objects off the black base] hey mom don't. I needta set up. so are these [silver men] like the flying Walendas or something? [the Walendas are a family of tight-rope walkers] I don't know. remember them? [laughs]. hm. we could do... we could do this [washer] one like a little um. [attempts to put a washer on the silver circle on the black base] look! [laughs]. but they [washer] don't stand up though. [attempts to put a washer on the arm of one of the silver men Chi has put on the black base] don't touch 'em [silver men]! no? can't the flying Walendas be the um... kind of juggling? they're juggling the mendas no.
[attempts to take off washer Mot has placed on silver man] no. get off! %add: washer on arm of silver man [laughs]. mine! not yours! ahhah. [picks up a silver stick and stands it up on the silver circle on the black base] what? whoa! that... that's [silver stick on black base] interesting. look at this. [puts a second silver stick on the black base] hey mom! oh! [moves silver stick around on black base] I know! hi there. %add: someone off screen who? [stands a silver stick directly on top of the silver stick that is already on the black base] oh! that's [Chi's construction] very interesting. this guy [plastic turtle] like a magnet? [attempts to put plastic turtle on top of the two silver sticks; then removes it] no. what about a Walenda [silver man] up there? oh yeah.
which one of these [referent unclear] sticks? none of them [referent unclear] work. uh whoa! [camera is out of focus] mom watch this. [places a silver man flat on the table; then sticks it to the side of the black base] let's try one indirectly. [picks up a silver man and holds it over top of the silver sticks on the black base] I'm gonna do something. [takes silver man out of Mot's hand and puts it on the table] you're awfully grabby. have you noticed that? I'm gonna do something. watch. [attempts to place a silver ball on top of the silver sticks; the sticks wobble] ah! [puts silver ball back on table.] let's see. %int: $=2 mumbled what should I do now? I'd still like to try a Walenda. [takes a third silver stick and puts it on the black base near the other two] wait! [attempts to stick yellow and white checked magnet to the top of the silver sticks] these [yellow and white checked magnet] aren't magnets. %int: whispered oops! [laughs]. wait! mom.
I'm gonna put this [third silver stick]. [attempts to place third silver stick on top of the other two on the black base] darn. too high. I know what I'm gonna do. [removes all three silver sticks from the base; then stands two of them next to one another on the base and tries to lay the third one down flat in front of them but it moves away] [coughs]. oh cool! [laughs]. [laughs]. it willn't do that huh? mom watch. mom watch this. I'm gonna knock 'em [silver sticks] down. you think xxx this? [moves a silver man toward the silver sticks; one stick falls over] the falling Walenda [laughs]. it's [referent unclear] a... mom look. mom. mom it's [unclear referent] a chandelier. oh! it's [unclear referent] a magic trick. it'll [unclear referent] now slide down. [Chi's hands are off camera] whoa! I know what to do. my Walendas are juggling. [hums]. no!
I don't like that [referent unclear]. [phone rings] ah! ahhah! now I got it [maybe magnet ball]. [takes a magnet ball and sticks it to the yellow wand] [aft someone in the background tells Mot who is on the phone and asks if she wants to call back later] um. yes please. [moves things on black base; some objects fall] whoops. whoa! [moves yellow wand over black base] doesn't like you. ah! wow. it [yellow wand] just picked up a lot of things here [on black base]. [laughs]. [laughs]. static. lemme see how much things that I can hold. [picks up nuts and magnet balls and puts them on the yellow wand] hm. oh! whoa what did you do to it [construction on black base]? [MOT has been moving things on black base and some of them fell over] I need a flying Malenda. I gave them [silver men] a ball bearing. I need a flying Malenda mom. [reaches over black base]
[pushes Chi's arm away] gimme! get your hands off my Walendas! gimme! [laughs]. [laughs]. gimme one. okay. wait a second. what else do we have here [on black base]? [laughs]. whoops! how come this guy [referent unclear] keeps lying down? yeah this thing [referent unclear] that I want. hm. I want this one [silver stick]. [pulls silver stick off black base] hm. oh! that [pulling silver stick off base] made them go nuts! [strange sound]! [laughs]. [laughs]. down you [objects on base] go! [moves silver stick around over objects on black base] [laughs]. what else do you have on here? [picks up yellow wand and pulls objects off it] down you [objects on black base] go! down you go.
[laughs]. mom they're [objects on black base] all falling down. your flying Malendas [silver men] are going. oh yeah. would their feet [silver men] go in here [washer]? oh. this is interesting [silver man standing on a nut]. think that's [nut] a foundation? I know what to do. keep them [silver men?] from falling? [hums]. okay. what about this [referent unclear]? look at. you think this [nut maybe] will keep them straight up in? [places nuts flat on the silver circle on the black base] Chi look. [points to a silver man standing on a nut with a silver ball stuck to his feet] soccer Walenda. he's playing something. [laughs]. [laughs]. oh I got three of these things [silver sticks]! look at. [stands horseshoe magnet on black base across from the silver man on the nut] maybe he [silver man] can kick it [silver ball] through the goal [horseshoe magnet]. mom look. [puts a red magnet ball on the head of the silver man] mom. mom look.
[points to ball on silver man's head] [pushes silver ball between the two ends of the horseshoe magnet on the black base] hey. how did you do that [move ball maybe]? oh! what? look at! [has placed a silver man on top of the silver ball on the black base and is moving the silver ball by moving the man] it [silver ball?] goes good on xxx. mom see what I did to... 'oops! [horseshoe magnet and silver man with ball fall over] [laughs]. [laughs]. you killed 'im [silver man]! you killed mine. oh! is this [blue plastic teddy bear] magnet? [attempts to put the plastic bear on top of a silver man on the black base; it falls] oh. [stands silver man back up] whoa! [knocks over silver man with blue plastic teddy bear] whoa! [laughs]. [laughs]. hey! oh. flyin' teddy bear. [puts teddy on the end of a silver stick and holds it up]
mhm. here. I need one of these things [washer]. no. I need one of these things [washer]. what? do we have anymore? I need a big one of those things [nut maybe]. hm. look at this. [touches a silver man she has placed on a nut on the black base] nothing can tip this guy [silver man] over. %int: softly yes it can! [reaches toward the silver man with a silver stick] [laughs]. [hums]. is this [yellow and white checked triangle] a magnet? ah. I'm gonna lift him [silver man] up with both o' my magnets [two silver sticks]. no. [attempts unsuccessfully to stick yellow and white checked triangle to the black base] ugh! [puts a silver stick on either side of silver man on black base and lifts up] says who nothing can lift him [silver man] up mom? [laughs]. [laughs]. hm. destruction is mine! [laughs].
%int: dramatic [laughs]! xxx destroy. hey wait. oh I didn't xxx. %int: mumbled oh look! mom. I'm gonna pick everything up. [places some objects on the table] mom. lay things down and I'm gonna pick 'em up with this [yellow wand]. [moves yellow wand over objects on the table; they stick] [laughs]. [attempts to pick up blue plastic teddy with yellow wand; it doesn't stick] darn. some things just aren't magnetic. [laughs]. [moves yellow wand over black base] [laughs]. I don't understand why you can't leave my Walendas alone. [laughs]. I'm stuck. %int: laughing [yellow wand is stuck to the objects on the black base] [laughs]. [pulls yellow wand off black base] these [magnets] are tricky. 'cause this [blue and white checked square magnet] looks like a magnet huh? it [blue and white square] is.
but it's [blue and white square] not. look. [picks up yellow and white checked triangle magnet and sticks it to the yellow wand] see? [picks up blue and white checked square magnet and sticks it to the wand] it [blue and white square] sticks. [strange vocalization]. [holds up wand; blue and white square falls off] does that one [yellow and white triangle magnet] really stick? or do you have it [yellow and white checked triangle magnet] sort of wedged under there? no. wait. lemme just... [moves yellow wand over black base] let me see. I need to take your Malenda. [laughs]. the Malenda heist. [laughs]. [hums]. ah! I'm stuck. hey wait. I needta make room for some other Malendas. [clears objects off yellow wand] I already took most of 'em [silver men]. my Malenda heist mom right? [moves yellow wand back over black base and picks up objects] [laughs]. [clears objects off yellow wand]
coming back for seconds! [moves yellow wand back over black base] thank you. [clears objects off yellow wand and holds it back over black base] mine. [clears objects off wand] I'm getting a lot with this [yellow wand]. [moves yellow wand back over black base] goin' fishing to th uh. there. [clears off yellow wand] thank you. yeah. well you got a lot. but now so what? it wasn't very constructive. was it? [laughs]. what you just did. %int: laughing yeah. 'cause look. [holds wand over pile of objects on table; they stick to it] [hums]. well let me see you make somethin' now. [laughs]. I made somethin'. [holds wand in air with objects suspended from it] you forgot a Walenda. [puts a silver man on the table]
[laughs]. get back. [picks up silver man and puts it on the yellow wand] here. hold on to this [referent unclear]. whoa! hm. [moves yellow wand with objects over the black base; some objects are pulled from the wand to the base] my... [laughs]. my Malenda. [holds yellow wand over a silver man who has fallen to the base in a standing position] my Malenda. mine! my Malenda! no. let me see you make something! instead of just wrecking it though. okay. [clears objects off black base and yellow wand] I'll make a brand new supercalifraglistikexpialidocious. or whatever that is. almost. the circle of life. [begins to stand silver men around the edge of the silver circle] oh I thought you were gonna try to put it [referent unclear] on his [silver man] shoulders. hm hm. what 'd happen if you do it the other way? on his [silver man] shoulders? %int: softly
well see now I take this [silver stick]... xxx do that [referent unclear]. and go like that [puts silver stick on shoulders of men]. I'm making the Malendas [silver men] carry it [silver stick]. [vocalization]! [places a washer on the two silver sticks that are across the shoulders of two silver men; puts a plastic magnet ball on top of the washer; attempts to add another ball; everything falls] [laughs]. what happened there [on construction]? what if you crisscrossed one of those bars [silver sticks]? maybe you could build from there. I'm building already. see how they might. oh another Malenda! help! there's another Malenda. mom. the falling Malenda. see how far you can stack it [construction]. and do it nicely. s slow down! slow down! I'm gonna see how fast I can stop that. no you're doing junk. no. it's [construction] my masterpiece. and we're sposta do it together. and I don't like the way you're doin' it. my masterpiece! [throws objects on the black base] no.
[removes some of the objects Chi has just thrown on] it's a mess. my masterpiece theater. messterpiece. %int: laughing [laughs]. okay. quit it a minute! [takes objects off the black base] stop it. oh wait! I got a great idea! [tries to reach for black base] no. [holds Chi's arm] I want you to listen a minute. I just need a Malenda. excuse me. you had a good concept goin' here with these guys standing up. [stands silver men up on black base] I liked this [silver men on base]. now I need two more of these... [takes silver men from base] and then you got out o' control. I need a magnet. [grabs yellow wand] 'cause you willn't let me xxx. well you're at the right place. this magnet [yellow wand]. I'm gonna use this magnet [nut] and this magnet [nut].
[takes two nuts from black base in front of Mot] 'bout another minute. uh! uh only another minute? okay. this is not a race. it's not a test. [laughs]. only another minute? oh. you can play with 'em afterwards. [trumpet sound]. mom. the juggling... [a silver man is standing on two nuts on the yellow wand and is holding two washers] [attempts to pick up wand; construction falls over] whoa! my Malenda! the jewelry heist. [moves yellow wand over black base] gimme my magnets. [sticks yellow wand to black base] [laughs]. I'm stuck. %int: laughing [laughs]. [laughs]. my Malenda. gimme. %int: laughing
it's mine! [pulls objects from black base with hand] [laughs]. mom look! it's [silver stick] balancing on his [silver man] head. isn't that cute? [laughs]. ah! [clears objects off yellow wand] oh wait! I got a great idea. [aft clears objects off black base] get off! the Malendas. they're [referent unclear] gonna kill my invention. so mom. now watch. hey wait. now look. [yellow wand is next to black base; a silver stick is balanced between the two and a silver man is standing in the center of the silver stick] [vocalization]. oh that's [Chi's construction] interesting. [sings]. oh they [silver men] walk on that [silver stick]. good. they're [silver men] gonna fall off the bridge of Japan. [places another silver man on the silver stick between the black base and yellow wand] now watch this! look what I can do. with the easy Malenda building.
[places a third silver man on top of the two already standing on the silver stick] who'! [claps]. yeah but you could probably... that would be a good way to stack them too. mom. [takes construction apart] I just need all the Malendas [silver men]. watch this. [puts two silver men on the silver circle on the black base] the Malenda heist. [hums]. [sounds like mission impossible theme] put all the other magnets over here [on table]. there's like a magnet sale. that's gonna be going on over here. [puts a second silver man on top of one of the silver men on the black base] hm. he's [silver man] a little topsy. what if you put one of these bars [silver stick] on his [silver man] shoulders... [moves a silver stick toward Chi's construction] topsy? and then you can do a straight line. wait. [takes silver men off black base] get it? stand two [silver men] up. mom watch.
