and the other one was like um something like it's okay or it's okay. like when she'd bump her head she'd go it's okay. it's okay. sorry. sorry. [says the above three lines like she's pretending to be the baby.] and Holly said that's because when they bump themselves you know we Sasha and I will say to Rosie oh it's okay it's okay. we're sorry it hurts. and so she does that to herself. sorry. right? you really do love that. that's your favorite thing. feeding the baby. [above four lines are IDS.] she's super cute. she is. she's so fun. she's a good girl. right Rosie? you fun? are you fun? [above three lines are IDS.] well I think that's all the questions I have for today. okay. um the next visit's gonna be in six months. and that'll be the speech eval. okay. um and do you wanna be called for other studies in the mean time? sure that's fine.
okay great. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/7534EM.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5949DL.cha = = = flat disk. yeah. he can keep playing I guess I just have a couple questions. oh sure bud. [IDS.] um so what do you... I don't know if he knows the cup doesn't work. yeah I know. [laughs]. um what did he kinda start playing with first? well it looked like he started with the books but that was what I stopped with when I around and introduced all the things to him but we read a lot of books. okay. yeah did... we have this one at home. oh okay. do you have any of the other ones at home? not these. okay. but last time we were here you had one that's like his favorite book at home. um the Mister Brown Can Moo. oh. he really likes that one. yeah? what part do you like in Mister Brown Can Moo? how does the thunder go? [above 2 lines are IDS.]
boom. boom. [IDS.] he likes that. um what other books did you guys look at today? uh this one with the flaps. and this one with the touch and feel things. and The Foot Book. I'm surprised you didn't wanna look at this Dan. what is it? [above two lines are IDS.] he's very quiet today. he doesn't wanna say... yeah. um in any of the books did he seem to like any particular pages or pictures? um in the Peekababy book uh he really likes stars and he kinda sees a star. he points to it and says star. so there was one where there was a star on the hat. where's the star? there it is! this one you pull with the side. [above three lines are IDS.] he always likes those. and so... and he likes the parts in The Foot Book where I you know do the up and down. [says up and down in funny voices.] but we do that at home. well you definitely could tell he likes to look at books and... mhm. yeah.
especially when he's feeling nervous. 'cause if he can sit on someone's lap and be calm and quiet it helps settle him back down. yeah any time that we hafta leave him with a babysitter we always tell her like as soon as we're out of the house pick up a book and he'll calm right down if he sits on your lap and you read to him. oh that's nice that that works for him. yeah. so what else did you guys play with? he picked up almost every single animal. I think he was very curious about all of them. mhm. but most of them are animals he's never seen. oh yeah like what? like an otter and a deer. well I guess like he's seen pictures of zebras but we don't have any stuffed zebras. we have like you know a lot of kinds of bears. and dogs. but he didn't get as far as the dogs even though you have three dogs. mhm. yeah. I said this one other time when I was here but the animals that we have at home are usually ones that make noises so we can have a conversation with them but like an otter I don't know what noise an otter makes. I couldn't tell you. [laughs]. [laughs]. I mean I dunno maybe we give him stereotypically boy toys but he likes playing with trucks and balls and stuff. those are like his favorite things. we don't have any of those. uhuh. I don't even think at the nursery at our church that there are any dolls. so he never sees dolls. [laughs] he just doesn't. they have play food at like some uh friends' houses where he plays but it's not really like a big thing he doesn't play with it very often.
so you said you don't really have play foods at home. uhuh. are any of these things that he actually sees in you know real life... yeah. that he eats. peas definitely. he never eats pizza he's never seen that food. and icecream he wouldn't have ever seen in a cone. but all the fruits yeah some of them but not very many. peas definitely. yeah that one you could rip off with your teeth so stick with this one. yeah [pretends to eat]. [above two lines are IDS.] [laughs]. and cheese. he certainly recognized the cheese. yeah. it looked like he was enjoying that. that's everyone's favorite. yeah. cheese. [pretends to eat]. [pretends to eat]. [above three lines are IDS.] he's actually pretty close to saying that too. oh yeah? just then. that was the best I'd ever heard him say it. yeah. so is there anything here that um or that you usually play at home that we don't have here?
yeah like he has a little truck and a little car and um... at home he kind of wrestles with the stuffed animals. he's not gonna do that with animals he doesn't know. you know you gotta have a relationship with an animal before you can body slam it. but um and he likes puzzles you know the big chunky ones. mhm. um plays with those a lot. he likes uh to take a crayon and just draw on paper. well most of the time he'll draw a line and then he'll give me the crayon and tell me to draw something. then I hafta draw stars 'cause that's his favorite thing. um and did you I guess notice anything about his play today that was different from at home? or was it pretty much...? yeah he was a little timid. but it's just he doesn't know the toys. mhm. and it's a different place. thank you! [pretends to eat]. [above two lines are IDS.] that's pretty normal. yeah. okay but I really think you could pull one off with your teeth. I'm gonna say no. you can stick with these squeezies. [pretends to eat]. [above four lines are IDS.] [pretends to eat]. yeah um. what else was different Daniel? [IDS.]
hm. I kind of rough house with him a little more at home than I would here. yeah. I like to pick him up and toss him. right. what is this? [IDS.] I don't understand this is like your first word. [laughs]. and you're not saying it. sometimes we'll like be anywhere. anywhere we go he'll find the clocks and point to them. or he'll find the clock and say clock and then he'll kind of wait for me to find it. he really likes clocks. yeah. what else bud? anything else? what was your favorite thing Daniel? do you like the numbers on the clock? [above four lines are IDS.] yeah. oh you have blocks too he likes these blocks. [mic noise.] really until about a month ago he really loved his shape sorting things but all the sudden he was done. but those were his favorite toys for like three or four maybe even more months than that. you know the things where it's holes and you put the circle in the circle. mhm. yeah. mhm. those are probably too noisy for a small area with a microphone.
right yeah that would cause a lot of interference. mhm. the poor person who hasta listen to it would probably blow their ears out. right sort out the [makes noise]. yeah. what's this Daniel? what is that sound? that was a funny noise. did you like it? [above four lines are IDS.] not so sure? beep beep. [above two lines are IDS.] interference. alright well I think we got... [laughs]. what is that noise? [IDS.] [laughs]. it's okay. [IDS.] you all did a great job today. he's so curious about everything. he's... mhm. he's like xxx. he likes picking things up and examining them. yeah. mhm. and he's usually very independent about it.
mhm. maybe a little less so just because I'm still here and he doesn't know you but. right. at home he doesn't need me anymore. [laughs]. getting too big. mhm. did you have fun Daniel? was that a yes or a no? yes? did you have fun? eh yeah. okay. [above six lines are IDS.] alright. let me give you this back. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5707RT.cha = = = alright [laughs]. [experimenter talking in background.] yeah that swatting thing though that's new. [laughs]. tries to swat me. argh oh you wanna sit okay never mind. [IDS.] anything interesting that xxx. um I don't know I might say the waffles [laughs]. are there other things that he recognizes? um he should recognize like the bread. and the pizza.
do you have xxx? some of 'em yeah yeah. [oop oop]. not a whole lot. [laughs]. do you have any special xxx or...? the waffles. the waffles. definitely. yeah yeah [laughs]. I noticed you were naming a lot of xxx and things xxx. xxx at home? yeah yeah um plates and bowls. things that he uses every day. mhm. alright um is there something that you think he should know or...? um of what he picked up. let's see I don't think we knew what this was [laughs]. there was one thing. disinterested. he you know out of the plush things he likes puppies. puppies is really his only thing right now so when he picked this one up that one really didn't do anything for him [laughs]. arf yes! [IDS.] okay I also noticed he was like sounding out a lot of noises that animals made. yeah he's always liked sounds. like just sounds and singing type things. so we tend to try and do the animal sounds a lot. and with the with the colors he has some books at home that have the foam on the cover. and he like points at 'em like a piano and we make the noises.
which is why we're doing the colors like that [laughs]. xxx to identify? um I have no idea [laughs]. he's making it like he's pressing something and he's getting a reaction from us. so the noise itself doesn't matter but getting a reaction does. what about colors? what colors do you think he knows? I don't know that he knows any colors. [laughs]. he was xxx a lot of the colors though. yeah we have a book of colors that's very similar to what he's seeing in the clock. so the way we play with it at home is just by kind of singing the colors. but I don't know if he can distinguish any colors. it's just one of those things that we're working on. body parts colors. yeah body parts too. yeah. um he doesn't say any of those words yet. but those are the basic things that we're you know trying for [laughs]. um okay um xxx at home? um well not this one but he has puppies. um and he's got the regular good night moon not this one. he has some food. not any of these that we have. um he has a book very similar to this with the animals and the things you can touch and feel. xxx all the animals you xxx seen before. he's seen all of these. yeah. um yeah he's seen all the farm animals here. um the books we have have like the same kind of touch and feel of those particular animals too so he's seen all those.
the only ones he really identifies with right now are puppies and kitties [laughs]. we have two cats at home so um. I can't open that! that's juice though. [directed at child.] that's play juice. [IDS.] do you think he prefers toys over books? no actually in generally he prefers books over toys. yeah I mean here it's a little different. I think but at home he's always bringing us books. yeah. um xxx [laughs]. he has nothing like it [laughs]. we needta get him one 'cause he's gonna have a little brother soon [laughs]. but um he has nothing baby dollish at all. he hasn't really been around many small babies so. yeah I mean we kinda just point babies out as babies but he doesn't have much interest. at all. xxx he knows like what xxx? yeah and I honestly think he understands a lot. so if I tell 'im what it is he you know you know I told him that was apple juice so he gets an idea of it. yeah he loves the word eyes. [laughs] he's always been like that where he latches onto certain words and thinks they're fun and eyes is one of 'em. so we've been trying to take that into you know body parts. [mother laughs and child vocalizes]. oh okay well thank you. okay. hopefully you guys are finding some interesting things out. [rustling] xxx.
yeah I don't know the only thing he has as a favorite right now is his shoes there. [rusting in background.] [laughs]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5965PC.cha = = = alright so what was Paul interested in? it appears the uh food toys. mhm. what did he go to first? that's what he went to first is the toys that he recognized as like things that he knows at home. foods and stuff like that. things he knows words for. oh so you think so he... 'cause he... recognized them all. yes. he came over and picked up the bread and said toast. so. do you have them at home? we don't have these toys at home. no. but he knows xxx know what it is? I would think so. I mean he's seen it as you know you know toast for breakfast and stuff. please don't throw the toys. [IDS.] that's my guess. is that's why he... Paul Mommy asked you not to throw toys. do not throw toys.
you can play but don't throw please. [above three lines are IDS.] these um seem like good toys for his personality. is this the type of thing that he xxx at home? um he mostly plays with cars and trains at home. those are his favorite. especially trains. so was anything here that he did not even look at was not xxx? um today he was not interested in books. he normally likes to read books but he was more focused on the food toys. so he didn't have any interest in the books. and he didn't seem to have an interest in the doll until I brought it over and asked him to feed the doll food and then he lost interest that quick. sheep. look. [above two lines are IDS.] what else were you doing with the doll? does he ever play with... no he doesn't have a doll at home. so that's why I was seeing what he would do with a doll. and he didn't seem to have very much of an interest. cookie. that's right. [above two lines are IDS.] [vocalizes] yeah he didn't seem to have much of an interest in the doll so. that didn't last long. watch out. [IDS.] now did you notice any changes with what he played with from the last visits? he's played with the hard toys and food first.
and then the stuffed animals second. um and then with books being read occasionally he'll flip through 'em. he probably played with more the books the last time then he did this time. at home do you read books? yes. yes uh. several a night and all throughout the day we read lots of books. yes cuckoo. [IDS.] do you have any of those? um we have a couple of the Doctor Seuss books like this. we have a couple of the feel books and then we have one or two of the lift flap books. so yeah we have one or two... books. that's right. [above two lines are IDS.] not the other ones? no I don't have Goodnight Moon and... no. we don't have... but we do have a couple of the small board Doctor Suess type books. board books. so you said that he mostly plays with trains. trains and cars. he's obsessed with Thomas the train. oh. yeah. Thomas. Thomas. are you giving her peas?
peas. are you throwing toys again? [IDS.] so he knows the names of most of those? a lot of 'em. yeah. he knows icecream cookies uh toast. and then he'll repeat just about anything. if you ask him to say something he'll say just about anything. so he may not know the name of say like the hamburger... no sir don't touch please. [IDS.] [laughs]. [laughs]. oh yeah you're cute. [IDS.] but you could tell him to say burger and he'll say it. booger. no burger. what is that? cookie. yeah. you think it's real I know. [above six lines are IDS.] so the stuffed animals do you have those? which of those do you have at home? we um... I mean probably don't have any of these stuffed animals at home. but you know he knows the animals by name and um... like which ones?
uh he knows bees from he's got a book that's got a bee in it. he knows that. he knows you know just bird in general. he knows those. and then doggies. bees birds doggy. that's probably it. doggy. [IDS.] [vocalizes] but yeah he's more identifying I would say just the things that he knows from books and stuff. [pretends to eat]. thank you. oh it's not an apple that's a pear. [above three lines are IDS.] pear. [IDS.] so he was able to identify well a lot of the food. mhm. pear. [pe.] pear. oh how's that taste? not very good huh? mm. where'd you put the icecream? where'd you put it? can you find it? that's a cookie. can you...
cookie. can you show me where the icecream is? you must be gettin' hungry. [above fifteen lines are IDS.] so was there anything else that you noticed that you thought was different? if anything like um surprised you? that he went for or surprised you that he didn't have an interest in? um the books I was surprised he didn't really have an interest in the books. I was surprised though that when I told him to feed the baby her bottle he grabbed the bottle and gave it to her. 'cause that's not something we've done at home. he doesn't have a baby. and he surely doesn't give her her a bottle so. why are you throwing toys? that's not nice. thank you. [vocalizes] burger. [above seven lines are IDS.] [vocalizes] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/4269LP.cha = = = [gasp]. thank you so much. you're welcome. um xxx. [microphone rustling on the mothers clothing]. I have some questions for you. sure! just leave that on. oh okay [laughter].
um I noticed that she was really interested in the doll. does she have dolls at home? she does... she does. she likes her dolls a lot. yeah? [laughs]. nah! does she take her xxx to... what's that? does she take her a xxx the dolls? or not really? xxx toys? [laughs]. she gets a little attached [laughter]. she's a little shy. aw. she... oh gosh. [small whine]. lemme think I dunno. do you think she recognizes like is the doll her own size or like a possible playmate? mm. I don't think so yet. okay. she has dolls of different sizes. she has one that's that big. she has one that two that are maybe like two thirds of that size. and she has one that's really little. and she seems to do the same things with all of them.
what does she do? um she likes to feed them, and carry them around. and she likes to... um sometimes she likes to change their clothes. mhm. not not too often yet. okay what does she call them? so. she doesn't have any names for them yet so. okay. but um my son has named some of our dolls [laughs]. so she may end up calling them whatever he has named them. okay. so she hasn't named them yet. um she might have called one of them baby xxx. okay. it's only happened maybe once. so um. mhm. she also calls her cat baby so [laughs]. oh. but we also call him baby so. she is calling him what we call him so [laughs]. um she has a couple of stuffed animals that she likes. okay I noticed she noticed this one. she knows that guy. she has some bear's that she likes so he probably looks kinda like a bear. oh okay. xxx has a bear. bear.
and a purple dog. so there's a couple but she definitely gravitates more to her dolls. okay. than her than the stuffed animals. at home. what stuffed animals here do you um think she might recognize or that she has at home. mm see. we have... we have a zebra. that looks similar. okay. and... actually not too many of the other ones. okay I remember in one of the um one of the books you were reading... mhm! ya know. the one with like the touch. this one. mhm. does she recognize these animals? I think so. which ones? um. she probably recognizes the duck. the duck? and the horse. mkay. actually no she xxx cause I think she says duck sometimes. okay. um so I know she recognized duck.
I think she recognizes a horse. [laughs]. mhm. um just cause when we were doing the when she was doing the puzzle in the other room... mhm. she was doing the farm animals. and I'd say where's the horse? and she'd get the horse. well okay xxx. so and she knows cows. mhm. mm pigs. mm not sure [laughs]. that is interesting like she knew where directly to touch. she loves touch books. anything that's a touch book she is she's a happy girl. [laughs]. um. touch books and flap books and... we didn't those she probably would've like the peekaboo one too. but she usually likes those so. um do you have those other books at home? we have these two... we don't have this one but we have the regular Goodnight Moon. okay. so she's seen the kitties before. she likes kitties a lot. so anything that has a cat on it she just loves so. mhm. aw.
so it's like any book that has a cat in it she's happy so. [laughs]. aw that's adorable. you poor girl. she's bored [laughs]. we're almost done I promise! um. with that one book with the doctor Seuss book... uh. The Foot Book or the... yeah the one you were reading to her um. mhm. um you think she recognizes like body parts yet? she does! oh yeah she... yeah she was funny I said The Foot Book and she's like my feet! [laughs]. and um we have a f body part book at one of those xxx books. the Karen Cats books. mhm. that's a body part book. and she knows... she'll say cheek and she'll point to her elbow. she'll point to her back. aw. um so she knows a lot of her body parts. mhm. um which surprised me. I don't remember my... I have an older kid but I don't remember when he learned.
different things so. but it was funny all of a sudden she started... doing her body parts! and she'd say the word too so. that's great um. so um. yeah I noticed she's like um... with like dolls... mhm. like the dolls she knew like what utensils to use. what here do you think she recognizes or xxx? probably probably everything. all the food she probably recognizes. we don't have... we have she's seen all the food either either both in real and play form. mhm. this was the only one we don't have as a play form but she's had lunch meat so. okay. um. but she probably... she loves peas. so that was one of em. xxx the frozen ones. [laughs]. I know I was like frozen peas? we hm alright [laughs]. [laughs]. so. um the desserts. I know she picked up this one.
she picked up the ice cream. she. um. we just had ice cream the other night actually. that might be why she went for that. okay. so she likes to feed the babies bottles. she never took a bottle herself. she never had one. that's interesting. she nursed and then she went straight to sippy cups. um like that kind. like the hard kind not the kind like where the... they have like the soft ones that are sposta mimic bottles. and she didn't want anything to do with it so. so but the babies get the bottle. this so. yeah. yeah I noticed she was like shh she knew what to use for what. mhm. like the bottle to drink out of this to eat out of... um does she have like her own size at home? we do. we do. she has perfectly about that size. the uh size of like the table... what would uh be the table spoon. yeah. probably um. eh she got the plate.
she helps set the table at supper [laughs]. aw. we have all the plastic um... plates and bowls. in one of our lower drawers. uhuh. we say it's time to eat it's time for supper! and she'll go the drawer and get out the plate and put it up on the table. and she gets the bowls and... she's a good helper! ha. aw. she likes to try ta... to help so. aw I'm sure she recognizes this. yeah. we eat pizza a lot [laughs]. we eat like pizza a lot so. she likes pizza. we probably eat it more than we useta cause she likes it a lot so. oh. we probably have it once a week so. [laughs]. um. how about other sandwiches? sandwiches? ya know she uh. w the only sandwich we eat... she eats um. probably is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
but I don't think she sees me make them very often. okay. she might recognize that container from home. as seeing it on the counter or in the cupboard. mhm. but has never actually seen me make them. cause usually I'm making them really quick and usually there are like we have them for lunch today! cause [laughs] I put them in the car to go! cause I picked up my son from school and then we drove over here. so we weren't going to stop for lunch. on the way so everybody had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so. um. so she's had... since most of the time we don't... she and my s... both my kids. don't have sandwiches just because they pull them apart. mhm. so a lot of times with sandwiches and salads at our house for the two kids I give them... the same components. I just don't put them together. so I guess like a sandwich I'll give them bread and cheese and meat. I just put them in three separate piles on the plate. because if I put it all together they just rip it apart anyway so. so they wanna see what each thing is. [laughs]. I was like alright! here's your meat cheese and bread. and they eat it. so I'm like alright.
when you get to be older you can put your sandwich together and realize it's pretty good that way. [laughs]. but... and then I realized they would eat salads that way too. we would try to mix up a salad and they didn't want it. but if I put the lettuce the tomato... ya know whatever the elements were... separately. they would eat them! I was like wonderful! that's interesting. [laughs]. I was like if you eat it I'll do it [laughs]. it's not any extra effort. so you know it's just the same. yeah xxx I know she picked that one up. the... waffle xxx do you like waffles yes [laughs]? yup they like waffles. she eats a lot of cereal. she likes cheerios a lot. and small cereals. mhm. so. she likes xxx. oh thank you! well thank you so much for coming. oh you're welcome! [debriefing].
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6691MW.cha = = = [silence]. can I ask you some questions? mhm! um so ah tell me 'bout how you guys played today and what you played with. uh mostly with real things. well toy real things. the spoon. um one of the first things she picked up was a sippy cup. which is what she drinks with most of the time xxx the time just a regular cup. um and then she's learning to feed herself so the spoon is what she played with the most. and then plates. and it seemed like everything that was food related she did. xxx try to use the spoon to pick it up or she asked me to open a bottle. that was most of the stuff. I engaged with the book but she wasn't that interested today she had too many other [laughs] competing toys. and then I think I initiated the thing with the doll. oh no she found the baby's shoe was off. oh. so she tried to put the shoe on her foot I think... out ya mouth. uh yeah. [clears throat]. um or do you read books to her at home? yeah. but usually um it's just a book and no other toys so we usually can go through... mhm. the entire book. but we hadta stop a couple a times. [of.]
and usually she'll wanna read the book again after we read it. but that's not happenin' today [laughs]. uh what made you think that the books that you picked up she would like? um these books um at first I thought the words would be big but when I opened it I saw it was really small. she got disengaged really quick. but usually the ones with like big words she'll usually follow along with those. but this one um she has one similar to it and it has the flip... mhm. parts to it. and so she's a little bit more engaged in these than the ones with the really small words. d' you play um that game with her? yeah. yeah. it's a slightly different one. um it's by Karen Cassiswell. oh um one with potty training. and one is called um Where's Baby's Belly Button. but you read one part and then they flip it open and see the answer or whatever. mhm but yeah we do that one too. she enjoys that? yeah. okay. um d' you still play like peek a boo with her at home like without a book? not as much anymore. we use to all the time. and really if you say that p word she'll do it. oh... so you hafta react. like she'll close her eyes for you to say [gasp] oh there you are! oh 'kay I thought I triggered the game [laughs].
[laughs]. [coughs]. is she pretty incessant about it when she xxx? yeah she likes it a lot. she likes it a lot. was she saying it with that? with that book? no. she just likes the reaction when she hides her face and shows it. she likes for you to act surprised like oh my gosh I was looking for you there you are! [laughs]. mhm. and d' you think she likes the rhyming in either of the books? I don't even know if she notices the rhyming. I think I go so slow or sporadically that you don't even realize I I've rhymed. usually I'm describing things in the book so I never end up rhyming. usually I don't. like usually if I were to go through the book um I would read this side and then I'd ask you know what is this and then by the time we open it where are her eyes where's her mouth where's her nose etcetera. so I don't even know if she notices that! the book is rhyming. cause of all the extras I'm throwing in. so you ask her like a lot of questions when you're playing? yeah 'bout the picture. and then we also have the um Your Baby Can Read. so usually I show her the word. she only knows how read a few words but. [to.] um and then we open it. and then I ask her something about that question. and that doesn't rhyme at all.
mhm. yeah. right? hm. [laughs]. um. [clears throat]. d' you have other doctor Seuss books at home? I don't think we have any doctor Seuss books. for her yet. um yeah! no doctor Seuss books. I'm surprised now that you say that. that's the first one she gotta read [laughs]. [laughs] right. um you were saying that you ask her questions like where's um the facial features but does she know her other body parts? mhm. Michaela where's ya toes? oh okay! eh it's not gonna work cause I'm tryin' 'o show her off. but yeah toes feet knees stomach arm hands. mhm. you're playing so nicely. uh hair. yeah. I see that! what do ya gonna eat? what do ya gonna go eat? you gonna go eat a waffle? [you're or are you.]
mhm! you're gonna play with me? are you gonna talk? you gon' be shy? [you're or are you.] shy baby. she's a shy baby! [laughs] you're just... just smiling huh [laughs]? yeah [laughs]. um does she play with dolls at home? not really. and it's actually because of this study that I actually got one. and she hardly plays with it. I dunno. I guess we never thought to get one and I guess maybe by the time we thought to get one she wasn't interested or maybe she'll be interested later but not really. ooh gotta change your diaper honeybun. how did you play with the doll today? how did you guys interact with it? um kinda how when we did play with the one at home where's her eyes nose or something like that. 'cept the only thing different was that um she wanted to try to put the doll's shoe on. where as at home nothing comes off. okay. so there's no you know parts she can put in her mouth. that's cool. mhm! uh and then what about the food how did you guys play with the food um... and like what foods did you find she was enjoying more were xxx. the sippy cup and the bottle so the juice. the spoons for sure.
like most of the dishes. um she had the applesauce but I'm not certain she knows what this is. I saw her pick up the pizza and try to eat it but we don't really eat pizza at home! uh I had the peas and spaghetti but I picked those up. um but it seems like she's mostly playing with things that she recognize. the juice spoon plate. mostly. okay now that I said that of course she picks up the ice cream [laughs]. [laughs]. [roar]! [laughs] you're funny! [laughs]. did you play at all with any of the stuffed animals or any of the animals? uhuh. she didn't pick any of 'em up. and I didn't initiate it either. can you think of anything else that you may have like even if you played with the food but you also um like elaborated and played with them in different ways than the traditional... hm... uhuh. um oh well there were three plates so um I just kinda incorporated numbers like one plate two plate three plate. um we haven't really taught her numbers. I haven't actually tried too much but. just as it randomly comes about. we'll throw numbers into something. but not as intentional as it is that we try to um teach her words or you know use a book or something. but that's the only other thing that I think I did. oh or the um feed the baby the bottle... out ya mouth... feed the baby the bottle. I think I didn't mention that.
yyy! are there different ways that she knows that like um what she's doing when you're playing you know what she's doing like you approve of like yeah lets play this way lets change the way we're playing those different ways xxx... um yeah like maybe with her puttin'. xxx I think she kinda knows they're toys but she kinda knows they're food so she keeps puttin' it in her mouth so. that's the easy part I could say out your mouth and she'll know. um but usually if she's doing something the right way or well then I'll try to encourage her. and if she's not then you know then she can just play. um I hardly hafta tell her no or don't do that um with playing. and when she puts something in her mouth I can specifically say out ya mouth and she knows. um what we're doing but... usually she's doing something [child laughing] well I encourage it. [laughing]! mhm. uhoh! and how 'bout like scripts like you know when you're playing you kind of like role play here or at home as well? um lets see. you kinda get into the pretend role so you like add not dialogue but like answer pretend pretend play you know? um maybe she has a pretend kitchen at home so sometimes I pretend like we're cooking. so um I dunno I need think. [to.] I guess I wouldn't really qualify. cause we pretend like we're cooking food and washin' dishes and putting things in the fridge. so you know I'll tell h her where are the eggs we xxx put in the refrigerator before they go bad! and she'll look for the eggs and the egg is a circle so. she hasta put the egg in a circular opening to put it in the 'frigerator. um that might be the closest to a script um... yeah there's a play laptop that we have at what else do we have? yeah as far as something coming close to a script maybe the play kitchen. cause there you know there's certain things you hafta do so. you end up sayin' the same thing.
there's only so much you can say about a 'frigerator and an egg so. I guess that's the closest we hafta a script. okay. mhm. okay cause xxx you know today you're playing with like the plates and you're feeding each other so I thought maybe some xxx... oh! oh I well yeah um. actually this is very recent where she'll usually have her sippy cup. and she'll pretend to feed me and I'll pretend like I'm drinkin' then I'll say thank you. mhm. uhhuh. and then if I do the same thing she's sposta say thank you if I you know feed her something. um yeah. yeah. and that's very recent like within the last couple of weeks where she'll pretend to feed us or you know food or something like that. okay. mhm. and so she'll feed us and she'll expect us to say thank you. and then we do the same thing in reverse. [laughs]. mhm out ya mouth. out ya mouth. so um. I forgot what I was gonna ask I'm sorry. mhm. uh you were saying these scripts were new. out ya mouth. um oh I was gonna say so um when you ask her to say things does she repeat 'em back usually? usually. yeah.
and then that's how I figure out what words you know she can say cause otherwise sometimes I think it just won't even come up. and then we won't even know. and I'll even pick random things like microphone. I think I tried to see if she could try to say microphone. her mouth opened but it wasn't happenin'. [laughs]. no. come back. is she um are you teaching her to potty train or just like xxx... yeah kinda sorta. I first hafta figure out how to potty train and then we'll teach her how. um but cause usually she'll tell me when she hasta use the bathroom or something beforehand but then I realize she was doin' it and I you know she didn't say it. I didn't wanna put it too much on the video! are you boobooing? [laughs] but otherwise I would normally emphasize like while she's doing it. [laughs] mhm. so that she'll you know start to tell me when she hasta. mhm. and then maybe I can throw her on the potty beforehand. I'll figure it out sooner or later. she's only a year and a half so... exactly [laughs]. from what I hear I have time. [laughs] exactly! yeah. but um for a while she was really good at lettin' us know when she hadta do it just before she would do it. wow! yeah but I guess I didn't stay on top of it it's only sometimes that it happens. well you know when things are new they're so excited to like tell you about it you know what I mean [laughs]? that's probably what it is yeah.
that's probably what it is. yeah. um can you tell me any differences that you noticed on how you played or what you played with from the last time when she was a lot younger? um last time I think I remember her playing with things that were brightly colored. if I remember right. it was like she would play with yellow stuff or orange stuff something really based on color more so [audio interference]. and then today it seems like she plays with things that she recognized. [bad audio.] the shoes the plates the spoons the the juice in the bottle etcetera. [bad audio.] xxx she hardly played with any of the stuff' animals but she doesn't really play with the stuff' animals at home either. um what else do I remember 'bout last time. I think she played a little bit more with the doll last [bad audio] xxx one of these visits. but today uh I don't think she played with dishes at all last time. at all right? [laughs] it seemed more like things she recognized and definitely towards what she's learning which is how to feed herself. [laughs]. it seems to be what she's playing with now. that's interesting. mhm. alright well I think that's all the questions I have unless you wanna add any other um differences or anything that was interesting that you saw in playing today. um usually if I'm playing with her we only have a few toys. that's the only thing different. when she's allowed to play with herself she can just go for it. it doesn't open it's a toy. mhm... that was her sayin' help [laughs]. aw! ooh gotta change your diaper honeybun. alright xxx.
stink. yes! alright well lets get you outta here then [laughs]. [laughs]. thank you for comin'. say thank you. oh you're welcome! = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5057MS.cha = = = 'kay. [inhalation]. I just have a couple questions. okay. [throat clear]. okay. so I wasn't with you guys last time that you did the play session. mhm. what toys was she most interested or seem to play with most. xxx then. do you remember? past few sessions? mm... the food. and more so on the dolls last time I believe. any particular items of the food? uhuh. no. ch I think... did you like the peas last time? [line 33 IDS. ]
uhuh. no. uhuh. ye'h. and it's just kinda like today just picking up everything. okay. she likes the pretend food. uh what about what items that she didn't seem to care for or wasn't interested in all in. she doesn't seem to play with the books so much while she's here. but everything else she goes for. oop. careful! there's a cord there. [lies 49-5 IDS. ] what kind of toys does she play with at home? we've got tea sets. um she carries around a lot of baby dolls. or stuffed animals she's got a... she just got a soft dinosaur that she loves. um she and her sister play with strollers. with their baby dolls and they take care of their baby dolls. um pretty much anything that's out. so... and then today if you hadta pick a few items that you would say she seemed xxx. oh. she loved the plates. she wanted to play with the plates. and the baby doll. and then the teapot. [sound effect].
yay. do you think she recognizes the names to any of these? [toys rattling]. [laughing]. oh ye'h. [vocalize to child]. we were at the pool yesterday and this is what she did with a pool toys. dump it over people so... ah! ah! what items do you think she knows the names of? ah! or understands. ah oop! she knows cookie. plates. uh pizza. [toys rattling]. no. no throwing. [line 89 IDS. ] um ice cream. and baby doll. [vocalizes]. do you have any of these same toys at home? uhhuh. no no. does she seem to be interested in books at home at all? ye'h. she is actually she's ah...
but kinda like today I'll start reading a book and then she'll get distracted and go play something else and... [vocalizing in the background]. then bring a another book back for me or... do you have any of these? yes. we have Good Night Moon. The Foot Book. and Mister Brown Can Moo Can You. and as far as the animals. do you think she recognizes the animals? um dog. probably. I don't think anything else. ah the frog. she has a stuffed animal a frog at home that she loves. baba. plates. [line 117 IDS. ] plates. ye'h. [sound effect]. oh. okay well I think that's all we have for you. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6826LD.cha = = = can I ask a couple of questions about your... sure. um so do you mind just like walking me through the session and what he played with and everything? he mostly gravitated towards the food items. mhm.
um we have that stuff at home so I think maybe he's familiar with it and maybe that's why. um him and his brother play with kitchen and food items a lot. yeah. um do you think he knows any of these foods or...? he may. um I try to talk to him as I give him new items and try to explain what they are. so it's hard to say. you know if he's... I know that they comprehend it but you know I don't know to what extent he can put the two together yet. which of these foods do you have at home? spaghetti pizza peas icecream waffles so I'm sure those were familiar to him. yeah. I was surprised he was able to figure out to put the waffle on the plate [laughs]. that's funny. does he eat anything or...? you mean... like eat any of these like does he try them at the table or... yes. he has had them all at one point or another. yes. yeah. that's cool. mhm. um what about any of the other toys that captured his interest or that he might know the name for or...? um he didn't seem to be interested at all in the babydoll stuff and that's probably because with two boys at home we don't have any of that at our house. yeah. um so he didn't even gravitate towards that. he seemed interested in the book but you know that didn't last but a couple seconds. um um do you read to him at home or anything? yes we do read at home.
okay. so. his attention span doesn't last... [ah ah ah] Luke! [IDS.] sorry it's the light [laughs]. come here buddy. [IDS.] he's very uh inquisitive. come here. [IDS.] do you think he knows the names for any of these animals or...? he may. um he hasn't actually verbally said a lot of them but we sing songs like um that have the animal sounds in them so. he may but he didn't seem too interested I was surprised 'cause before he seemed to gravitate towards some of the animals but this time he didn't. do you think he sees any of them on tv or...? he should notice these 'cause we watch this show all the time. Word World so. um I'm surprised he didn't notice them this time he didn't last time we were here but... yeah. um do you think there's any toy that... I dunno like what are other differences you noticed between like this session and previous sessions with what he's been interested in or...? this time I didn't hafta get him engaged as much he was able to just reach and play for things I think he's at that age now where he's not afraid to go explore on his own. [laughs]. before he was and now he's more mobile which is a lot different too. yeah. um before he didn't get up and walk around so he was very limited to what he did. does he and his brother play at home a lot too? yes. mhm.
what kinda toys do they play with? um they have kitchen stuff they have cars um they have um tons of books um... they have other toys that you know you can engage where they talk when you put a ball in. you know all those kinda toys so. there definitely not limited in their toy selection. yeah. that's cool though. um is there anything else you think we should know or...? Luke can you leave that there? [IDS.] no um he's just starting to babble more so I'm sure he's gonna start spitting out words soon so. that's probably the only difference recently too. cool. well that's all I have for you. sorry about the the older brother today. oh no it's no problem. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5266EC.cha = = = look Hettie there are two peas. [IDS.] so what do you think she liked to play with most today? the baby. the baby. the baby. and the peas. she really likes though doesn't she? yeah. peas. so I noticed she didn't really play with the books. so she prefers the toys?
well at home she loves books more than anything but I think these are just different toys from what she's useta. um and different books as well and so she just was more excited by the toys. what foods does she recognize? um probably the peas. yeah. and the pizza. um I mean we don't eat a lot of these foods at home so I think that they're not super familiar to her. for the most part. but the peas she definitely has down. um I know you picked this up. does xxx she knows what this is. maybe. I dunno. I mean mostly for cookies she has like animal crackers. okay. so I dunno. I dunno if she would know that that's a cookie. so you don't have pretend food at home? no we don't. and she loves it so maybe I needta get some. yeah. I know this is really pretty. does she like this one? yes that's the baby. [IDS.] she also played with these a lot too. yes. and she has her own set of keys. that have like a sound effect button. I actually think she got it from doing a study here.
and um so she knows what keys are. has she had this before? she's never had an icecream cone. that I know of. baby. in fact just the other day my gramma gave her a bite of icecream and she spat it out. I know I was like I needta learn how to do that myself. how 'bout this I know it looks kinda funny. yeah. she's had spaghetti for sure but I don't think she would connect that that's spaghetti. at all. what? [IDS.] read book. you wanna read the book to the baby? [IDS.] read book. baby. well she knows her animal sounds down pact that's for sure. yes she does. animals. [IDS.] so which animals does she know? she knew all of these. she called the horse a cow. but I dunno why she knows horses really well. she liked the doll. yeah she loves the doll. well she has a brand new baby brother so baby's are kind of a big deal at our house right now. huh?
we spend a lot of time taking care of tiny babies. [above two lines are IDS.] what? does she have dolls at home too? she has more stuffed animals. she has a little doll or two um but she's not that interested in them at home. do you have pets at home or no? we have two little dogs. yeah. and you played with this one as well. yes she has a stuffed frog that she likes. she knows most of her animals really well. which ones here? she would think that's a penguin is my guess. um but she knows donkey zebra dog frog birdy bee for sure. where's the bee Hettie? do you see the funny bee? what's that? is this it? crazy hair. buzz. [above six lines are IDS.] um yeah I noticed she knew a lot of the sounds that the animals make. crazy bee. [IDS.] um you also went over some like when you were playing with the doll you were going over the body parts. yes. it's amazing that she like recognizes that. yeah she knows a lot of body parts. some that surprise me like elbow or shoulder she knows right where they are.
huh Hettie? Hettie where's your elbow? where's your elbow? yes! [above four lines are IDS.] [laughs]. um how 'bout utensils? she knows spoon. she might know plate. I bet she knows plate. she still prefers to eat with her hands. well no she likes to pick up the food with her hands and put it on the spoon and then put the spoon near her face and then she'll take it off and put it in her mouth with her hands. but yeah she would know what a spoon is. oh don't put it in your mouth [pleh]. [pleh]. [above two lines are IDS.] do you think she recognizes the um juice in the bottles? or what's in the bottles? I mean she probably thinks it's milk because she drinks either milk or water most of the time. she gets juice every once in a while and she certainly knows the word juice but I don't think she would recognize that as juice. usually juice for her is apple juice any way so. orange I dunno if she'd know. keys. [IDS.] okay well thank you so much for coming. it was great watching you. and meeting you Hettie. say thank you! [above two lines are IDS.] she's very bright.
we think so. [laughs]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5609DW.cha = = = okay. so I'd just like to ask you a few questions. okey doke'. um which items did you play with first? the play food. which kinds of food do you think she knows? she goes for these and tries to drink out of them the bottles and the cup. okay. she picks up everything. she likes the peas the best. she always has. I dunno if they just taste good. I mean they feel good on her gums. they must. she spends a lot of time chewing these. everytime she comes. um I don't know if she recognizes any of this stuff. what items did you show her? uh I showed her the pizza and the icecream and the waffles. she tries to eat all of it. like she's like [eating noises] and then she puts it down. so you know it's food don't you? [IDS.] yes. were there other items you showed her? um the baby.
she usually likes the babies like baby dolls but this one's a little bit too grande. yeah. and then all of the or that's stuffed animals the animals that she recognizes any way. like I didn't show her the beaver 'cause I dunno that's a little bit... yeah I'm not sure. or an otter? maybe an otter? I dunno even know what it is. so I didn't show her that. um what other animals did she...? um I called these horses. she thought this was a chicken. a chicken. she knows rooster. um donkey. dog. uh I think that's it. that's it? yeah. and what kind of items is she most interested in? you think what kind of things you have at home? well because we don't have play food at home yet she likes to play with the food. mostly I think 'cause it's novel. and she's obsessed with eating things. what kinda things does she like to eat? chicken nuggets. chicken nuggets? and fruit. what else do you like to eat Dorothy? hey!
what do you eat? [above three lines are IDS.] anything that I'm eating she wants. if I give it to her she won't eat it but if I eat it then she'll want it. she likes pizza. she likes pizza yeah. does she like pasta or...? unhunh. so she didn't really care for it. when she was really young I assumed that she thought this was like a nipple or something. because she was like [makes sucking noise]. maybe? I guess she came here when she was I dunno when you start the study. at a year maybe? younger? yeah. so when she was that age she would suck on those. [laughs]. what kind of things does she like to drink? um juice. uh she still has her nighttime bottle. so she goes for the bottle always. and tries to get the liquid out of that. and milk and water. [vocalizes]. does she like sweets? mhm. of course. what kinda desserts does she eat? um whenever I'm having chocolate she gets some.
so usually it's just chocolate stuff. uh I don't really give her candy. brownies cake? mhm. nibbles on that stuff. anything chocolate I think. um fruit. like frozen bananas she likes. does she like sandwiches? do you feed... or is she kinda little for sandwiches? she picks them apart. and eats them one layer by each. mhm. she likes the bread. and leaves the meat. can you think of other foods she played with xxx? she knows the form of cheese as in like cheese sticks. mhm. so when I told her this was cheese she was like [makes face]. yeah. she looked a little bit confused. how about any of these or...? unhunh she didn't really... like this stuff she doesn't know what it is I don't think. does she recognize those? mhm. she tried to eat the cookie. and this? uh I don't think she recognizes it. um.
has she not had this before? she has but she doesn't seen the jar you know so it's like... she just sees it when it's applied to bread. she doesn't know like what the stuff in the boxes is. yeah. it's kinda odd that they design toys like this. yeah. um I think she thought this was cheese. maybe. mhm. I think that's it. and then the meat. um does she know where this goes? unhunh. or did you refer to this? I did I called it hamburger and she's like [makes rejecting noise]. okay. do you like McDonalds Dorothy? do you like McDonalds? [above two lines are IDS.] did you call this pasta or what did you call this? I called it nothing. oh okay. I dunno what I called it. that's what she does she'll go [makes eating noise]. does she have toys that rattle at home? mhm. she played with those um. do you let her play with yours? yep.
and then we put them in here and it made a racket so she liked that noise. mhm. and she shook this and emptied it out. okay. um has she started using utensils? mhm. which ones does she use? spoon and fork. okay. I don't think she recognized that for as a spoon. no knives yet? nope. keys? yeah you gotta be bigger to use a knife. they're scary. [above three lines are IDS.] do you read to her a lot at home? uh huh. um she turns the pages of her own books and she liked this one because... full of animals obviously. because she's into animal identification. these days. there's one other animal that you didn't mention um. I didn't tell her the bear. okay. there's that one patriotic animal. oh this? she thought it was a chicken. what did you call it? I called it an eagle.
okay. and then I said tweet. [laughs]. I was like [makes face]. okay. and this she doesn't know what these are. seal? I think. good guess. that is kind of unclear. seal pup. harp seal pup. very specific. was she interested in telling time I noticed you...? unhunh I don't think she's like uh... I've never really talked to her about time and clocks and stuff. what did you call this? uh I called it nothing I don't think I talked to her about it. is that peanut butter? you want the pen. are you drawing something? [above three lines are IDS.] and plates. she put her food on the plate. you know food goes on plates don't you? yeah. [above two lines are IDS.] alright well thanks so much. oh no problem. oh she likes the babies shoes. she likes shoes.
oh shoes? okay. they don't quite match the outfit do they? I know a little boy or girl? I think it's sposta be a boy. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/7553JT.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6314AK.cha = = = what 'd ya think Allison? what 'd ya think? [above two lines are IDS.] oh now she likes it. yeah now suddenly we want it. no. [IDS.] so what did she seem most interested in? I think the food. as always. I think she's always interested in the food. why do you think that is? she has one thing on her mind apparently. [laughs]. I dunno. I think... you guys ask me this every time. I guess because we have so much of it at home. oh Alison. not nice. no baby. no that's not nice.
we don't wanna ruin the book okay? they gotta fix it. [above 7 lines are IDS.] so do you have like a toy kitchen at home...? yeah. and of course you know big sister's always makin' food and wantin' her to eat it you know. we've been trying to teach her how to pretend eat and she's not gettin' that as you can see. you know she puts it all in her mouth. I mean even Amanda gets frustrated with it. she's like stop eating it for real! that's not the rules! 'cause you know they have it at her preschool. so Amanda's a rule follower. and we can't put the food in our mouth at school it's against the rule. so the same rule applies at home and so it drives her crazy that she puts it in her mouth. I'm like she doesn't understand. you didn't understand when you were that age either. she'll get it you know. to her it's food so she just puts it all in. she does the same thing with the baby bottles at home. you know [pretends to drink]. tries to suck on 'em. see if she can get anything out. [laughs]. so she likes babydolls though she's a babydoll so she seemed to like that too. cookie. yeah I see you you put clothes on the doll. cookie. we put her shoes didn't we? shoes.
yeah you see a cookie. [above 5 lines are IDS.] cookie. she has lots of dolls at home too? yeah we have lots of dolls. yep. we have a girly house. two girls. so yes. lots of dolls. yep. but as always my girls are just not into stuffed animals. 'cause we have tons of stuffed animals too and they never touch them. and it was the same thing here I really couldn't get her that interested in stuffed animals. I don't know why. which animals did you try to show her? oh we did the bee. and the frog. and the doggies. get her all the doggies 'cause one of her new words is doggy. doggy right? [IDS.] and we don't even have a doggy at our house. no. we have a cat but she hasn't said cat yet. yeah we have a kitty cat. and she say no. no. she didn't want any of those. oh I watched her do the beaver.
and the zebra. she said no to the zebra. I showed her the zebra. no. no. [IDS.] [laughs]. what's the matter with the zebra? [laughs]. why don't you like the zebra? I think it's a nice zebra. [laughs]. I don't know. [above 6 lines are IDS.] does she like it when you read to her? yeah she does. she likes books. she definitely likes books. we have a ton of those like little ones this size and she walks around with them all the time. pointin' to things in 'em and lookin' at 'em. she normally does like when we read books. and you read her the... I started this one. and then we did the peekababy. ah. we did all of peekababy and we looked at a couple animals on On the Farm. that one. yeah 'cause I knew with the touching she was touching it. she liked how it felt. definitely.
but she kept going back to the play food. the plastic food stuff. the plates and the spoons and all she liked right away. [laughs] right? [IDS.] some of the words... I was trying to get her to talk some you know as much as I could so you guys could hear her talk. so I that like she knows pizza you know. but I don't know that she's completely made that connection that this is also pizza. you know I was trying to say get me the pizza and she wasn't getting it but the minute I held it pizza she knew it then but she wasn't grabbin' it for me. it's a pretty small pizza. so I'm not sure. yeah and she doesn't eat pizza with all that stuff on it either so I dunno. [laughs] you know. I dunno what kind of xxx. she won't eat any vegetables so she definitely... oh and she doesn't eat any meat either. she's my vegetarian. she eats like nothing. what kinds of food does she like to eat? junk. cucu cookies. crackers cake candy. all the c right? she don't wanna eat any fruits and vegetables. yogurt. and she's good at breakfast foods though. she'll eat pancakes and stuff. cereal but she uh... yeah and won't eat any meat.
no regular fruits and vegetables except the banana. that's about it. and she'll the Gerber ones but then... like Gerber peaches. but she won't eat like little cans of peaches. I'm like they taste so much better. why do you want that Gerber stuff? so how have you noticed her play changing since the last time that she came in here? yeah. so it's probably changed quite a bit since then. definitely. yeah I think it definitely has yeah. yeah she was more engaged on her own with this stuff. whereas before I was doing a lot of it and showin' her and stuff but now she totally knows how to do it herself see? she's [laughs]. yeah 'cause she can feed herself and stuff now I mean for real she even does it so. yeah you look like you're good at that. [IDS.] yeah. say oh yeah. I can eat I just don't eat healthy. nothing healthy. well. is that about all? yeah. yeah that's it. that was great. well that wasn't too bad huh? [IDS.]

[above two lines are IDS.] [laughs]. yeah. yeah. um were there any toys that he did not like? um I don't know. I didn't really notice it I mean he... I mean he didn't pick up some like he didn't go to this area over here of stuffed animals and he didn't pick up the car but. he has stuffed animals he plays with at home so.
you know I'm not sure if it was not liking it or just getting distracted by other toys. um does he have any of these items like the spoon... he'll have spoons he doesn't have any... um he does have food. he does have like um um apples and carrots and pears and eggs and you know. food to play with and spoons to play with and um pictures to play with. um and books to play with and baby dolls and yeah he has pretty much the same array but you know there isn't like a match of like oh that's the exact same thing. does he play a lot with the dolls? try holding her. [IDS.] does he try to feed it? um um he hasn't really started to do much with the doll except take it and run with it. that might have something to do with it being his older sisters. they sort of have a collection they share and um at any one time you know it's determined that it's the favorite doll and then that's the one they both want. but possession seems to be more important than actually doing anything with the doll. okay. um I know you picked this up do you think he recognizes this? I don't know he does eat cheese. pretend. how 'bout do you think he might recognize this and... he might recognize... yeah he might recognize the bread. um. he's he's only seen an icecream cone probably about four times but. [laughs]. he really likes it when he sees it. [laughs]. oh jeez. how 'bout these? um I don't know if he recognized these as something to eat or not. does he had them xxx before?
pardon? has he eaten them before? yeah he's eaten peas before. how 'bout the animals there was one animal book I think. um oh yeah this one yeah. we gotta the second page and then he got... does he recognize the two animals? this one? um I mean I think so. he can't call them by name. but we do a lot of animal stuff. thank you! you like that sound? I do too. um. do you see the duck? [sneezes]. bless you. [sneezes]. bless you. you wanna touch the duck? [sneezes]. you wanna touch the duck? you need a tissue. [above thirteen lines are IDS.] how 'bout... [laughs]. he went for the books over the toys? um. did you get your hands wet?
[IDS.] think of what he does at home. um he has you know books and toys readily available on a shelf. um he gravitates at home towards toys that um come apart. oh. yeah. like um there's um you know the pegs in the little holes and then you hammer 'em down. well he can't hammer 'em down but he can stick 'em in the holes and then take them out. and there's like a ball that's made out of magnetic parts that he can unhook. um so he tends to go for those first. things that either he can make noise with [bangs blocks together]. um or stack or take apart. um and then he'll go for the books at home. alright well you guys did a great job. alright. thanks for comin' in. thanks for comin' in Vincent. [IDS.] oh one other thing. mhm. um did he recognize any of these like utensils? or like I know you mentioned this one. um yeah. I think he recognized the spoon. okay. and I think he recognized... whoops. are you okay? [above two lines are IDS.] I think he recognized this.
[cries]. you know what that was just a little bit of a surprise. aw it's okay. but I don't think we lost any body parts. I don't think so. are you okay? aw. are you tired? aw. now we're getting into nap time. [above nine lines are IDS.] how 'bout things to drink out of? yeah he definitely recognized that. mhm. 'cause he drank out of it like [bleh]. [laughs]. [vocalizes]. he tried to get me to drink out of it so. does he recognize the juice maybe? um I think so. inside. alright. thanks so much for comin' in. alright. sure. okay now you hafta give that back. um thanks Vincent you did a great job. you hafta give that back. [last three lines are IDS.]
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5820CP.cha = = = um what do you think interested him the most? the food [laughs]. well um... do you have pretend food at home? no. we don't. okay. sweetie pie! [CDS] leave that al Colin. [CDS] Colin! [CDS ] aw. thank you. but he still xxx. no we don't have pretend food at home but he does like... I need you to do this again. sorry. sorry. I thought I might to xxx. oh it's okay. no we don't have pretend food at home we have real food and he likes to eat. what food that was here has he had before? uh he's had spaghetti. loves sweet peas. mhm. and pizza. uhuh.
and those were the three actually he's and toast a little bit my parents actually give him toasted bread or something like that and he... played a little bit with that but not as much as he you know with the peas and the uh the pasta. mhm. and uh which is what I feed him [laughs]. aw. xxx said I feed him. do you have these books at home or similar books? we have Mister brown can moo. mhm. and we read it a lot [laughs]. [laughs]. we read it a lot I usually try to let him pick whatever book he wants to hear. mhm. and um... we have about four Doctor Seuss books and that seems to be what he gravitates the most to. uh we also have another one called um Bright Eyes Brown Skin. uh it's African American book. mhm. and um... another one called The Pelp Help Fish. we read those three a lot [laughs]. a lot we read them a lot [laughs]. so he hasn't really you know gravitated to any other wait you know we have you know quite a few books maybe about nothing crazy maybe about twenty or so but you know those tend to be his favorites. yeah I don't think he would know the books so he was really interested xxx. yeah he does yeah. he'll um... he does like the book there's also bookbag I hear. Who's My Mom or something like that uh it was a it's iridescent it's got nice colors in it. oh okay. and um he actually looked at this one and when he was pointing he was pointing to all the colors.
oh okay. on it so there was something but he didn't seem to be all that interested in the book itself as much as you know the front page of it. mhm. I know this was really interesting this one I don't know if it's like the texture... the texture book which we don't have I was thinking of actually getting a texture book and I hadn't gotten it yet but my um... mhm. my niece. has a texture book. I don't know how it goes but she's got you know I think it's a sheep and a cow and... mhm. you know a couple things in there so he at night and I didn't know if he played with it or not 'cause he's with my mother during the day but I guess... right. there's something about it that he does... what other animals in there has he seen before? he's seen Pooh. okay. everything with four legs is a bak bak. aw. dogs horses it's a bak bak. he kinda says it differently and I guess because I'm useta hearing it I know what the difference is and I'll say yeah that's your bear! mhm. and he'll... bak bak is a little bit harder if it's a dog. mhm. and if he's a little more uncertain but it's got four legs it's like bak bak? you know that it's a little softer but bear I think he's trying to associate the bak bak with the bear it's like bu bo bak or ba bak... it sounds different to me it might be in my mind but it sounds different [laughs]. [laughs]. but he's got a Pooh at home and a bear at home. mhm.
but he calls it bak bak. um he didn't seem to be interested in any of the other animals. mostly the food and the books seemed to... to be his uh his thing. mhm. and climbing. he likes climbing on mommy. aw. that's cute I saw that you were like xxx on to the um xxx. no... has he seen them before though? he's seen I think all of these before. uh with the previous you know with our previous visits I'm pretty sure he's seen... um this one the bear he was uh once upon a time kind of interested in it 'cause he has a similar bear at home but he hasn't really played with that bear. mhm. lately so it's kind of interesting that he still said oh bak bak! mhm. so... um but no none of the other ones I think at one point he was interested in this but I think it was because of the... spangle. ness of it [laughs]. [laughs]. nothing really I think he remembered this guy I remember when he first saw the hair he was... mhm. you remember him? [CDS ] [laughs]. you remember him he's mister... [laughs] or maybe we have nightmares I don't know. so but uh the food uh...
the food seems to be the most... the thing he was most interested in. mhm. how 'bout dolls? [laughs]. not really dolls. [laughs] he actually um destroys my niece's dolls when she's... aw. I wouldn't say destroy but he um... [laughs]. he um... has no real love for them he does you know he'll take them and sort of you know toss them across the so I was like just like Sharon's doll [laughs]. but um but I was kind of worried that he would like maybe toss the babydoll but he didn't so um... since she usually sends her into tears. whenever he does it. usually it's fine I mean nothings been broken yet but you know... you know the fact that her baby is sailing across the room and he's... [laughs] you know looking quite euphoric and she's like completely distraught. [laughs]. so... but yeah he's at that throwing stage we're trying to um. curb. um okay. have you played this game before? peek a boo? mhm. usually with objects like you know blanket. mhm. um or you know a you know something that's big enough to cover the face. mostly with the blanket.
mostly with the blanket no uh not so much the book. mhm. we don't have a peek a boo book we play peek a boo. mhm. I don't know if we really do we really call it peeka yeah... I don't know if we really call it peek a boo we call it like I see you. you know do you see me I see you do you see me kind of thing. yeah. or where's mommy? sweetie pie did you... [CDS] it's okay it's falling apart [laughs]. also um I noticed you were yyy a lot of like um sounds and things and associating with the animals? mhm. sweetie pie stop that! [whisper CDS] it's fine. um you said it's like you think that helps um identify the animals? I don't know yet. uh I really can't say that right now. [laughs] I never really taught him bar bak bak for the dog but he somehow went there I don't know how he got there I don't know if he 'cause we actually have dogs. mhm. mhm. and I guess I don't know if that what is what it sounds like to him. oh. okay. or... but... I uh... but yeah I do I try if I say it's a cow I say y I say it's a cow?
cow says moo or something like that. mhm. or you know the dog says ruff rufff or I usually say ruff ruff I don't that's why I'm like where did he get bak bak from but... mhm. I guess maybe that's what that sounds like to them. [vocalization]. mkay. but yeah I don't know if xxx or not. but um... mhm. [laughs] I guess we'll find out. okay well thank you so much. thank you. he did such a great job. thank you. so there's nothing wrong with him he's not like a defective baby [laughs]? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5013LA.cha = = = are you leaving? yes [laughs]? o'ay. thank you. you guys did a great job. you all done? thanks xxx... oh no [laughs]! just has a few questions to ask you. xxx but ya gotta ask me a few questions. we're not goin' yet Luke. come here look where's the bee?

mhm. I was impressed he knew what to do with the bottle cause he's never had a bottle. and we don't have a play babydoll at home. [cries]! mhm. I thought it was neat to see him know to put the bottle in the baby's mouth. [moving toys]. that's interesting. um what else did you play with? door. door. uh he liked the babydoll he liked to feed the babydoll and. okay. poke it in the eye like all little kids do. he was a little interested in the books but. mhm. he also wasn't really interested in the animals. he looked... xxx read one of the books though. yeah he did look through. he never made it to the last page of the farm animal one but. he looked through it. this was just too much fun. [gasp] Luke! but. Luke ay! look at him. they're so swee'... he's better than the xxx. he's a smart boy.
oh [laughs]! [laughs]. [laughs] um. [laughs] he looked at the... [whines]. sorry buddy the bee and the zebra I think were the only animals he picked up. okay. um there were animals in that book. which ones has he seen before does he know... he's seen all of them. yeah. he's seen all the animals. can he name them? yeah of course! [exclamation.] he knows the duck. okay. he knows they quack. he knows sheep and he knows they go baa. horse is neigh. neigh! [exclamation.] you can do it now. and the cow and moo. um and he knows pig but he doesn't make a pig sound yet [laughs] we haven't gotten to that one have we buddy? [laughs]. um. what about this one I know you picked this up. oh yeah I picked it up and uh tried to play with him and he kinda giggled at it. but any xxx he got up and walked away or went and picked up something else up.
you just like the hair on the bee right? [laughs]. ew that's sticky? aw has he seen this before? no we don't we have puppets at home but not that particular one. okay so he hasn't seen that animal before? no [LA moving toys] uhuh! um. we don't have a kangaroo puppet or animal so it was... um. hey!

[imperative.] [laughs]. otter? um you played with another book too. yeah we did the peek a boo book. and uh he liked that he wanted to look under the flaps. peek a boo. aw um. peek a boo! [exclamation.]
what other objects did you play with that you didn't mention? ah the keys he looked at the keys and he went to go put it in the outlet. in the electrical outlet [laughs]. at home he knows how to put the keys in the ignition of the car and start the car. he's a smart boy. yes his daddy taught him that. [exhales]. um. he was eating the ice cream. mhm. lets see lets think about what else he used the spoon to feed himself me and the baby. oh he looked at the clock he knows what a clock is. now you got the keys? lets see what else did we play... he picked up lots of stuff and wanted me to tell him what is was and then he'd put it back down again he would that to that and wanted to know what that was. he picked up almost every piece of food and wanted to know what it was. he's tryin' 'o put the key in the door. oh he's so smart! [exclamation.] [laughs] he's very quick! [exclamation.] [laughs] very quick! [exclamation.] 'kay we're all done. alright! [exclamation.] Luke you can get going now. you're so cute. all done?
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6598JM.cha = = = [laughs]. there's just so many distractions here. she'll come back. come on. he's like the chair spins. [laughs]. um he played with the food. I don't remember which food he played with. [laughs]. he had the spoon. and he had I think the bottle is what he had first. but yeah he was all about food this time. [laughs]. the spoon the peanut butter the pizzas the waffles the bread the bottle. the sippycup. the hamburger. [laughs]. he's all about food this time. do you think recognizes these food items? I think so because those are what went in his mouth. so [laughs]. waffles what are what he usually has for breakfast. and the peanut butter kinda surprises me because that is what he has for lunch. so. but then he walked around with the chicken for awhile. [laughs]. what other toys did you play with? well I tried to get him to play with the sheep and the zebra. um both of them and that didn't work.
[laughs]. and the books and he sat down and looked at the peekaboo one for a minute and then uh he put that down. and then he saw the chairs and the computers [laughs]. were there any other books that you tried to read to him? the uh On the Farm and I let him look at the books. I don't necessarily read 'em because he gets really I dunno frustrated if I try to start reading. can I have it? ah Joe. [laughs]. thank you Joe. um but I usually just let him uh look at the books on his own especially if they're just board books. to kinda get useta the idea of looking. so [laughs]. Joseph. I know it spins and that's more fun. but come back over here. did you notice any um similarities or any difference between um toys he might be interested in from past visits or not interested in? no. I think the last time we were here it was food. the last time also [laughs]. it's funny though because at home um in his crib at least he plays with stuffed animals. 'cause that's usually what I leave in there. and so he plays with that. but he also has um musical toys. that he likes. he likes noise. [laughs] so. he likes noise to make it and that's the beating of the spoon and the peanut butter. that he has a drum at home. so.
you're silly. um what did you think of these toys that you can sort of take apart the letters and...? I love 'em. [laughs] I love these toys. I think they're great. and he sat and watched me take 'em apart. but I don't think he quite understood that they would go back together. even though I showed him. so but yeah I love those. do you think he um recognizes these animals or the words specifically? um I don't. I don't think he does recognize 'em. we go online to Starfall dot-com and we go through all the letters periodically throughout week. and I think he's starting to kinda get it. um his vocabulary is a lot wider than his uh talking. he knows a lot of words but he doesn't say much. so we'll ask him to close things or go get something and usually he can do it pretty well. Joe. the keyboard is not for you. it really... I know. that's what we do at home but it's really not for you. yes that's the mouse and that's not for you either. come on. [laughs]. he's like I'm a big kid I'm like my brothers. icecream cones. has he had and icecream cone? not on a cone. but he has had icecream before.
but he did pick up the icecream cones too. [laughs]. is there anything here that you think he um might not have seen before? I don't think so. 'cause most of this is here when we come. and and then like the food... sorry every chair every computer. did you find it... whoops! did you fall off? [laughs]. that's normal too. um but no. I mean he's seen stuffed animals before. um not necessarily like otters and stuff but. he's seen frogs and birds and he now has a kangaroo at home. um so they're ones he's seen before. um what about the doll? the doll? just when we come here. since he only has brothers we don't have dolls in the house. huh? yes I see you found another one. [laughs]. have you practiced um telling time? uhuh no. but he likes to play with my watch. and he's seen clocks. around the house and stuff so. Joe.
[laughs]. I think we're all done. okay. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5561AC.cha = = = okay alrighty you guys did a great job. yeah they're washed that's why I said don't worry. [talking to husband.] [background noise]. so what did you all play with first? she played with the doll and the food. she has lots of dolls at home. we don't have any of the fake food yet. okay. um what food did she pick up that she was interested in? um like the bottle and um the spoon and the plate. now that she's trying to feed herself. okay. um what food items in particular? what did you pick up? she picked up the peas um the pizza and the cookie. for the most part. oh and the spaghetti. okay. um xxx. the juice uh yeah. xxx one other food item that xxx. oh the cheese. that's right. um what about animals?
what stuffed animals did you try to get her to play with? the zebra um she came over with the frog and the bee and the chicken rooster whatever but she didn't really play much with it. mm. [directed at child.] do you have any pets at home? we have a cat. did she recognize other pets? yeah um you mean here? yeah here. um yeah I was gonna say that and the dogs. um if we go out she's not afraid of animals. and you know she'll call other animals Jazzie which is what the cat is called. [laughs]. um okay she played with this. does she have a similar toy at home? um nothing that I can think of. okay. um has she started um learning numbers? not uh she'll repeat after you you know but that you're saying. so she'll pretend to count with you. or she has um she has you know like a bunch of kids songs and one of them's like you know all on the alphabet and another one's all songs with numbers and she'll sort of pretend to sing along with them. okay um you mentioned she has a lot of dolls at home. um I know you tried to like point out the dolls items of clothing. does she recognize any of what these things are? yeah like her dolls at home she'll take the shoes off and or if she finds a pair of shoes she'll try and put them on her dolls so I think she gets what shoes are for. okay and then you tried to read to her a little bit. not interested today. you did start to read the On the Farm book. what animals in there did she recognize? um I mean the only thing she did was I got as far as the little chicks and she went to give 'im a kiss but that was it.
and then she went back to what she was doing. she didn't take much interest in the books today. um there was one animal though I remember. um that one. the sheep? I'm not sure I mean I don't know if she recognized or just because I was petting the fur just did what I did. okay. alrighty well thank you. thank you. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5593SH.cha = = = stay still buddy. [IDS.] um what toys did he go through or to first? um the plastic toys. um like which ones? um I believe it was the pizza the cookie and the spoon. the same thing as the last. oh right. and was there anything that you were trying to get him to play with? the book. which one? well this one and the foot book. [yells] yeah usually he won't sit still for books. um from your last visit what types of toys were he interested and um and was that different from this visit? um it was the same thing he was interested in the plastic toys. um he played with them more of what they are used for. like tryin' 'o drink. and do you have any of these toys at home?
any of the stuffed animals that he might recognize? um not that I know of. um I'm just trying to think. no I don't think we have any of those. uh my daughter has plastic food and plates and stuff that he plays with. but they're not the exact kind. right but because he's older he might you know recognize more stuff. yeah. are you playing with that? mm. there's nothing in there. it's pretend. pretend bottle. pretend icecream. [above six lines are IDS.] he was playing with um... yeah the sp... yeah the spaghetti the keys. the um pizza. bottles. but you pushed over the baby he thought it was funny. [laughs]. um. no we're not gonna go play with the computer. [IDS.] that's good. um does he read a lot or at home he doesn't read a lot? we try but he doesn't sit still. he'll sit still for like half a book occasionally a whole book. um he's into the mechanical things like trying to break through doors.
mhm. try to get through safety gates. um he likes to build. uh he carries around toy bins to build stairs to get to shelves. um what are you doing over there? yeah. quite different from your sister. there's nothing over here! [above four lines are IDS.] okay well that's basically it. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/7246FB.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6510LC.cha = = = I have a couple questions for you. sure. and we're all set. so could you walk me through your play session as to what she played with? um I guess when we first sat down she kinda gravitated toward the baby. and then um I think she picked up the sheep too but she didn't really find that interesting. but she definitely liked the baby. we fed the baby a lot of pizza. and a lot of bottle or sippycup and some icecream. um she definitely liked you know using a spoon and like pretending to be a mommy and everything like that. we did read one book. um we have this book at home. so I think she recognized... we have the exact same book. which book was it? this was the Karen Katz Peekababy book. so I thought she would kinda like that that's why I kinda picked it out.
I kinda encouraged her to use that one. um she looked at a few of the beanie babies like the zebra and the dog but then she went back to baby and we basically were just kinda playin' with all the food and the baby. that's basically about it. what xxx does she usually play with at home? um she does like babies. but I would hafta say that she normally doesn't concentrate on them quite so exclusively. um she has an older brother and so she kinda does what he does. you know what I mean? but she does like to push her stroller. she has a stroller and she likes to like feed the baby the bottle and push the stroller. [silence]. um what kinda stuff was she not interested in? um well I mean she played a little bit with the beanie babies but not too much. and then I mean really the book. I mean I basically picked out this book and kinda started reading it to her. so she wasn't really into the books. as much. but she loves books at home so. this is a dog. [IDS.] yeah like the difference... oh you like that baby? [IDS.] [laughs]. besides the pizza xxx? she liked the icecream. um she liked the icecream and she seemed to be interested in the waffle. and she liked the box of taco shells. and of course... most kids actually don't like that box.
really? I mean it doesn't look at all like what it is so. I could understand that. and then xxx and the bottle itself. were you surprised by what she did? not really. um I was surprised that she didn't pick up more books I guess? but she does like to play with babies but not quite so long maybe. and I guess she played with the clock too. alright I think we're good then. alright great. let's see Lexie. can you say thank you? thanks. now we hafta go. [above four lines are IDS.] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5303CW.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5561AP.cha = = = okay I was gonna ask if it's okay if I start asking you questions. oh yeah. he's so in tuned to me. everytime I shifted he was like [imitates the boy]. yes he's very... even when we were sitting in the waiting room like he heard the door open down the hallway and looked towards it like he knew someone was coming in. oh that's funny. always listening. hm? [above two lines are IDS.] um so let's talk about the different things he played with today. um do you wanna run me through the session a little bit?
sure. um he has always been very very interested in the food. the food has always been the first item he goes to. and he's always been least interested in stuffed animals. I don't know why. even at home he has stuffed animals and it is the least interesting thing to him. uh he loves books. but he's in some sort of phase uh and it showed here too where he picks just a couple of books. and wants to read through or look through the same books over and over again as opposed to continuing to go through the books even though there's more there. but at least he'll sit still for them. which is good. um a little bit into the baby and what the baby could do. you know he pretended to drink himself and then let the baby drink a little. so that was good. and we don't have any baby dolls at home. so uh I dunno I guess he just knows from himself what... what to do with it. yeah. okay. so. yeah I thought it was uh pretty good. he talks a lot more at home. [he.] like he was talking a little bit here but really quietly and kinda shyly I think just 'cause it's new. new surrounding. but that's one thing yeah at home he talks a lot more. yeah I can totally imagine. yeah. we probably get a lot of that. yeah.
so. um well let's talk about uh what you thought was um his favorite thing here today. um I think the favorite thing is the spoons. the plasticware. things that he can collect. I mean overall still the plastic food is probably his favorite thing here. in terms of last time the types of food he was playing with and this time um do you think he recognized more of the items either look or name? I think he does. uh 'cause at eleven months old I mean he'd never had a slice of pizza I don't think he'd even had icecream or anything like that. so he probably recognizes all the food here now whereas before I mean I think he recognized it before but he was more just interested in gnawing on it and putting it in his mouth so. I think he does uh recognize the food more. was he more interested in like the bottle than the cup 'cause he's transitioning in like age you think? I mean yeah he kinda just fed the bottle the baby and put it down and he is holding on to the cups so yeah that's possible for him that he is more into the cup for being a little bit older. hm? did babies use the bottle? [above two lines are IDS.] were there any other foods that uh you introduced to him? like what they were? uh you mean that I introduced to him in here or at home or...? well 'cause they're not literally what they look like. yeah. I mean I think he understands that it's all fake. like I think he... I mean at home he'll pretend to eat something. he'll do like [pretends to eat]. so I think he realizes that all this is fake food. and that he just recognizes it for kinda what it should be. okay. and I do think he does uh know what it looks like. but.
okay so he didn't have any trouble for example recognizing that the pasta was spaghetti or like that you were like this is that. yeah I don't think so. I think... we didn't really go over the spaghetti I'm not sure if he would recognize this as spaghetti. but like the icecream cone I know he definitely recognized. the pizza slices. um the spoons the cups. course those are probably real spoons but. uh the bread the waffles. I think he recognizes those for the types of food that they are. oops. are you feeding yourself? what are you eating? [above two lines are IDS.] [laughs]. eating some. [pretends to eat]. [above two lines are IDS.] and have you introduced the idea of a clock at home or...? me uh he is very obsessed with our watches. mhm. uh and he will sometimes insist that we take them off so that he can hold them and look at them and investigate them. well we may have one clock like this but most of what we have is digital clocks and we haven't really gone over digital clocks at home. so. okay. yeah. um one thing he picked up this time was he picked up the keys and looked straight towards the door and was like that you know keys go with the door. so he's definitely making more connections uh as far as what different items do as well. [op] thank you. [IDS.]
um were there any other foods that he might be familiar with that you showed him or unfamiliar with that you...? um the peanut butter. he definitely knows what peanut butter is. and likes peanut butter. the peas. I think he mainly showed me foods that he eats at home or that he recognizes. I don't think he went too much for the different foods that he didn't recognize really like these things that are in boxes that are... I don't think anyone would know what they were unless they could read. mhm. so. he did seem to go for the foods that he recognized versus things that he wouldn't know. mhm. so. and I think actually in turn I went with the foods that I knew he would recognize I don't think I really picked up things that I didn't think he would recognize. uh I didn't do it consciously I just... well yeah. just picked up things that I thought he would be familiar with. so for example um like he's picking up the like round do you think he thinks they're more like blocks or peanut butter and soup or...? it's hard to say. yeah I think he recognizes things like this. I think he knows he can't eat them he's not sure quite what to do with them so he's just kind of ignores them. mhm. so um. and then you introduce them with their names. yeah. you know he just didn't seem to latch on to them. mhm. but like I told him this was peanut butter and he was just kinda like [eh]. right. and again I think it's 'cause he realizes that it's fake and that he is not actually gonna get peanut butter out of here so.
uh so I think that he... and he can't chew on it. so. things like spoons or bottles that he can chew on even though he knows that he's not getting anything. thank you. [IDS.] pretending. that's right. uh what about the animals that he did play with? um were there ones that he liked more or ones that you felt were more familiar to him? um I think most of the animals that we were looking at that he liked the best were ones that we read about in books. because we read a lot of books and we have like this book we have a lot of the touch and feel type books and one of them has a zebra in it and so I think he was most attracted to the... hi. [IDS.] the animals that he recognizes from his books. 'cause we don't have most of these stuffed animals at home. um. which ones are the ones that um he played with today? uh he played with the zebra a little bit. and the seal or he at least identified them. and we looked at the frog and the goose. uh and then after that he kind of lost interest so. but yeah I and those are again they're all ones that we have in books so. which books do you... if you don't mind telling me. which books have them the... um we have one. which one has the zebra in it? we have a couple that um... one is like At the Zoo.
and that's the one that has the zebra in it. um and we have one that is sea creatures. that has uh seals in it. and the goose I dunno if we actually have a goose one or if we've seen actual geese walking around so that might be why he knows [laughs]. that's cool. geese. and then um we have a book that's called Touch and Feel Wild Animals that has a frog in it and 'cause it's touch and feel 'cause it's the one with sticky fingers on it. ew. I know. [laughs]. yeah. ooh. does the frog you know have sticky fingers? yeah. [above three lines are IDS.] that's funny. so. okay and then um saving... oh the baby. he played with the baby. a little bit. yeah. how were you playing with the baby today? um who else would want a drink or who would want a drink from a sippy cup and he didn't offer it to me he offered it to the baby so that was... okay. yeah uh and he seemed to pretend to kind of feed the baby. and then kind of towards the end we were getting to maybe trying to put the baby's shoes on but he uh didn't jump right on that. but 'cause I mean for himself he knows his different articles of clothing he knows his shoes and his shirt and that type of thing so. uh I was thinking maybe he would go for trying to kind of dress the baby a little bit but he didn't exactly show interest in it. we might have gotten there.
and I honestly think the reason he didn't wanna do it was more because he didn't have the hands to do it because he's made this little collection here that he's holding on to no matter what else he does. yeah he did that in the uh waiting room too. mhm. I don't know if it's just a phase he's going through or that all kids go through. I think I've heard some kids are like collectors. you know 'cause he does a little music class and they'll bring out like little shaker eggs or something and he'll be the kid he wants to you know pick up as many as he can hold. xxx flip the pages. [IDS.] that's funny. so yeah he is a bit of a collector so I think that's also why he likes these things 'cause he can get a bunch in his hands all at the same time. so. so he really likes books. he really likes books. he has a huge bookcase full of books and almost every single day we empty it out going through all the books. so. are these um new books? the ones uh here? yeah all of these I think are ones we haven't read but we've read similar ones to it. like we have a Karen Katz book but it's not this one. like he's read Where is Baby's Bellybutton. but he hasn't read the peekaboo baby um. we actually have Goodnight Moon but not the counting book. oh okay. so I think it was different but familiar in that way. we have a touch and feel book but it's not this one. and we have several touch and feel books. and we have some Doctor Seuss books and that type of thing. so just similar. what was the same with the Goodnight Moon book? um you know mainly the pictures.
because after the first couple of pages um the numbers that they're using for things are not the same as what they are in the book. like in the book there's only a pair of mittens and here there's eight mittens. and you know. but no but he recognizes the pictures 'cause they're all directly drawn out of the book and then placed on these pages and then they kinda start and end with the same scene picture. so I definitely think he recognized that and I... we always do and the quiet old lady whispering and he'll go [hush]. and he did it here even though it was out of context of the rhythm of the book. so that was pretty good I guess he definitely recognized it so. were you calling attention to certain things like that that weren't in this rendition of the book? to kind of help him remember it? um I think I did when we uh opened this first page I told him like look it's the great green room 'cause the book starts off in the great green room there was and then it goes on to list the things so you know I pointed out to him that this was the great green room and so maybe that gave him the frame of reference. and then you stuck to what the book was saying? I did. I did stick to what the book was saying for the rest so. so they talked about mittens and what were the other familiar things that you think regardless of the number. oh the uh... oop'. the cows and the three little bear... I mean I think all of it. there's bowls of mush and telephones and socks. seven socks though that doesn't make any sense. they need an extra sock. well you always lose one. you always lose one. that's true. um and I know balloons. he really likes the red balloons. but there's only one red balloon in the book not nine. yeah I mean I really I think he recognized all of it. um.
all of it. all of it. that's right. [above two lines are IDS.] uh yeah like I said and then they end the book with the same picture. honey. [IDS.] he's a little tired. okay well I just wanted to go over the other books that you read. mhm. if you wanna just take me through the familiar... do you play peekaboo for example? we do play peekaboo and he'll play it. he'll uh you know pick up blankets. he'll initiate the game. um you know picking up blankets or whatever he can find. or like going behind a curtain. that type of thing. and he'll play peekaboo and he'll initiate it. um. he actually does a lot of what the book xxx. yeah. yep. yeah uh he loves lift the flap books. he does find those very exciting. um and yeah we do do a lot of peekaboo. and I think he's familiar with some of the objects like you know balls he definitely has a good understanding of balls and hats. and curtains. um I thought it was kind of neat that when we went through it a second time he was much faster because the flaps don't all lift from the bottom some of them lift from the top and some of them have kind of an angular uh turn to them. and the first time through he was try to pull it from the bottom on all of them but then the second time through he kind of was able to go more quickly to where they pull down from. maybe that's why he likes to look at books a bunch of different times because he gets more out of it each time.
