so. he remembers things. did you give Mommy the baby? thank you. [above two lines are IDS.] and then was there another book that you read? um we did. oh we read the Put Me in the Zoo book. which he kind of lost interest in part way through but he stayed into it as long as I was asking him questions about what the different color spots were. mhm. but I think perhaps he was just less able to follow this one. there were probably some words in there that were different. yeah. it's uh... and I guess it's a little bit wordier. than say the peekaboo baby where every page has variations on the same phrasing. uh where as this one was kind of changing everyone. although are you more interested in it now? see different spots? and we've never been to the zoo have we? some day. out out with you. [above five lines are IDS.] uh so this book I guess was talking about colors... yeah. it says that it's um a book of colors. and so it's uh this animal that wants to be in the zoo and they kick him out so but he's showing the children that they would put him in if they could see what he can do which is change the color of his spots every time he wants to. oh okay. so you know he so it goes through and does little rhymes and leads up to what color the spots are. does he know those colors?
mhm. yep. he basically knows like if you have the what the basic Crayola marker box. mhm. he knows all his basic colors. they call their spots violet and I asked him what color it was and he said purple. and you know I figure that [laughs] that's pretty much the same thing so. right. yeah so he knows all the colors. um and now I don't think he knows what that animal is 'cause I think it's a made up animal. does he have a favorite color? um. when we very first started talking about colors he was obsessed with yellow. mhm. I mean xxx kinda before he understood exactly how colors worked uh he would say everything was yellow. you would ask him what color that red sweater was and he's say yellow. 'cause he knew it was a color and he knew you were asking about a color. but now he actually he'll say all of his colors and correctly identify things but. he still likes yellow. especially yellow cars. every time we see a yellow car he gets very excited so. interesting. so that must be the color. yeah. I thought you might have said like green or blue 'cause he's wearing that today. yeah. like sometimes you know kids will be like I wanna wear this! not showing that preference yet huh? yeah well if I pull two things out and I say do you wanna wear this or this he'll usually point to one or pick up one and throw it away and so I figure he wants the other one but uh we didn't do that today. okay.
well I think that's all the questions I have unless you wanna add something else about the session. you know uh I think it was good. he's very focused in here he's not always this focused at home. that's kind well it might be also his uh shyness that you xxx. yeah. yeah. he's going through a little phase. what do you think that is? what do you think this is? it's a slice of cheese? [above three lines are IDS.] I'm gonna turn the camera. we are basically done. okay. I just wanna put uh something 'cause I didn't I started the camera late. so I'm just gonna put today's date and um the i d number. for the camera. so we're done. oh. you did a good job. you did. [above three lines are IDS.] oh. no I don't know that I should have mentioned this on the camera I thought it was really interesting at the beginning of it he kept on looking over at you. like everytime I'd ask him a question he'd look over at you all to kinda be like are they listening to me? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6757JC.cha = = = xxx today. um anything he could teeth on [laughs]. um the sippycup the bottle the spoons.
he was kind of interested in the baby and the animals and feeding the animals and the baby. [laughs]. no he actually... oh sorry. this is falling apart. um maybe he is hungry I dunno. he hasn't eaten in a few hours. so you've done a play session before right? mhm. did he play with anything different this time? um I recall that he was always teething on things so that hasn't changed. um but it was um encouraging for me to see him pretending to feed the baby and interacting more in a pretend way with the stuffed animals and the baby. um 'cause before he kind of wasn't super interested in the animals or the baby so. it's nice to see that he's getting into that. I mean at home he's like all about balls and trucks. um and there aren't any of those here. so um... yeah there aren't any of those here. so uh it's nice to see him... we do have a few like stuffed animals that he'll rock or you know do that with but he always chooses the trucks and the balls at home even though we have a variety of toys so. um. did he like any of the animals in particular? um I dunno we have a dog at home and he's kind obsessed with dogs so I thought he might take more interest than he did in the dogs. um I don't really think... um he liked the zebra. mhm. um which is funny 'cause sometimes I think he confuses zebras and horses so. um yeah I guess the zebra was one thing he did pick out. is there anything here that he might have something similar to? he has a bigger version of this Winnie the Pooh at home.
um in terms of stuffed animals. um we have a book that's it's baby animals. it's the same um thing in the series I guess it's different than this book. um and we have some Karen Katz but we don't have that one. um and we don't have any pretend food at home. does he like when you read to him? do you do that a lot or...? yeah we do it a lot. um we do it always before he sleeps bedtime and naptime but also throughout the day I have a bookcase that just has books so he will grab whatever he wants to read and bring it over and just plop. sometimes he likes to throw the book in my lap [laughs]. or in his dad's lap and then just like back into our laps like here I wanna read this and then he'll sit down and relax. so yeah he likes to read. does he have any food that her played with that he might have at home that you might eat or...? no food is tricky with us because he has a lot of um food sensitivities or it's not allergies I guess they're just calling it a sensitivity that he might grow out of. so um like we don't have pizza at home because he can't eat it. um he has a lot of issues so. um he... yeah. [IDS.] he probably wouldn't really recognize a lot of the stuff. unfortunately. does he hold like utensils at home? mhm. mhm yeah. xxx like that. um we don't give him forks a lot of the time but it's spoons and bowls yeah. does he have anything like stuff over there? the baby dolls? mhm. um he doesn't have a baby doll like this like um uh he has stuffed animals and then like a little um race car driver kind of thing.
um and like I said I'm always trying to get him to play with... 'cause I don't want him to be like stereotypically boy car ball obsessed but that is kind of the way it's happening. um so yeah I'll try to like okay rock the baby burp the baby feed the baby and that kind of thing but he's kind of a little bit more interested in other things. he has... oh the other things he has that are kind of like um babies are little sesame street characters that I like wrap 'em up in blankets and you know show him like that how to nurture a baby. does he have maybe like a favorite color that he kind of seemed to find some stuff that was the same color or anything like that? hm I hadn't thought of that. um no I um... no that didn't really occur to me. um xxx favorite colors at this age. yeah. just a thought. um yeah I don't think so. I wasn't necessarily paying attention to that. um I have started to um... bless you. [IDS.] um I'll give him crayons now and again and I'll try to you know this is red blue green whatever. mhm. and point out like on his trucks which color you know the different trucks are. um but I don't think that he has a favorite color yet. we're gonna hafta have some trucks next time. yeah. [laughing.] yeah. alright well I think that's all the questions we have. thank you for playing so well with him today we appreciate it. sure. sure. I'm glad we didn't mess your schedule up being late.
sorry about that. no no we're all here. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6047JC.cha = = = first. um. he went right to the baby doll. okay. um. what do you think interested him um with the baby doll? um he has a baby doll at home. I guess he first like picked this up. I guess he thought is was something to drink out of [laughs]. and so then we... does he still drink out of something like that? no he drinks out of like a sippy cup. but I guess it's like somewhat similar 'cause it has like a straw. okay. so... um what else do you think about the baby was interesting? that it might've interested him? um I think that he could pretend to feed it. he likes to pretend to do things. there's a baby at the daycare where he goes. and so he probably sees her feed the baby a lot. okay. so... um there's something about the baby's foot xxx... oh yeah it has a boo boo. okay.
little band aid. um what did you play with afterwards? um then I think he picked up the books. but he didn't really wanna be read to. okay. he's been doing that lately where he just like brings us a book and then he won't even like sit still he just wants to flip all the pages and then put it down so... mhm... and then after that he went to the ah play food I think. okay. d' you have play food at home? we don't. and every time we come like that's what he seems to be most interested in. [laughs]. and I don't know if they have play food at daycare. but I dunno if it's the texture or just he likes food a lot but... mhm. he really likes to play with that. which food items did you play with? um the pizza. the bread. the peas. mhm. um the peanut butter xxx like the soup containers he liked. mhm. he had the hamburger at one point. and the plates and he was liked to bang things together. [laughs]. and then he was playing with the keys somewhere in there too that's his favorite thing is real keys. he always likes taking our keys. [laughs].
so... um d' you think there are food items here that he might recognize from what he's had before? um yeah like the peas. the hamburger he's played with before. yeah I think I remember him playing with like the pizza and the hamburger before. mhm. okay what did you play with afterwards? um then I tried to get him to play with the soft toys a little bit. okay. um yeah he picked up like the deer. the groundhog. um this dog which I remember him playing with before. mm 'kay. and then I picked up this dog and the frog. mm 'kay. um back to the food. I know that you tried to make a sandwich. yeah. um what kind of sandwiches does he have or has he had? oh yeah at home he usually has um a lot of peanut butter sandwiches. okay. and um like grilled cheese sandwiches. okay. um xxx like um dessert items that he might've been interested in and picked up? um oh the ice cream. yeah but I don't think he's eaten ice cream on a cone before. mm 'kay. so... um how 'bout breakfast foods? normally he eats cereal.
okay. did you have breakfast foods here? oh yeah the waffle he was playing with the waffle a little bit. okay. I know he was um using the utensils to xxx himself. oh yeah. ah what utensils has he been using? um he's using uh like a fork and a spoon at home. okay. not very well with either of them. but he tries and we help him a lot. so I think he likes to pretend to use them. okay. um I know that along with preparing a sandwich you were trying to prepare other things. um does he watch you in the kitchen prepare things? um yeah. he's often in the kitchen like when we're making dinner. he goes to a home daycare. and so I think they help her make lunch. oh okay. so... I think he sees the food preparation a lot. [laughs]. um. back to the book. so what books did you pick up or try to read? um the On The Farm book. he first picked up the zoo book. okay. and then he went for the On The Farm I think because it has the fuzzy duckling and we have a similar book at home.
okay. and he likes to pet the animals. [laughs]. um were there any play animals that he might've seen before? or does he have at home? xxx animals? yeah he's played with this one before when we were here I know that. and then he has animals at home but not necessarily like the same ones. okay. mm yeah. I don't see any like the exact same ones. I'm tryin' 'o think what we have at home. we have like a orca that he plays with. and kangaroo. okay. he shows like less interest in the soft toys. than like just picking up books. not like reading them but just kind of like carrying them around and like opening them shutting them that's what he plays with a lot at home. do not put that in your mouth. [laughs]. can you just pretend? that's a hard concept isn't it? [laughs]. yeah. yeah it's not for putting in the mouth it's just pretend. we can pretend to eat. yeah. alrighty well we're all done. um. okay.
xxx stop xxx. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5623AT.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5630WS.cha = = = so I just have a few questions for you. okay. um what toys did he seem uh most interested in this time? he liked the baby huh? and the food. so does the food contain items that you use? let's see pizza uh he pretty much liked it all. [laughs]. did you not eat enough breakfast buddy? [laughs]. I think we pretty much touched every single food item... thank you for the pizza. and stuck it in our mouths. you probably wanna clean that. um and like what about the ones that he's like the least interested? well he did a lot more playing with all the toys xxx. he probably spent the least amount of time with the stuffed animals but he did play with them. I guess he didn't touch the clock. or the keys. so. xxx do you remember what the keys xxx? he's always gone for the food. this is new the baby. like when he very first came in he said baby and he picked it up and he like that's new. I don't know if that's 'cause we're having a baby so we're talking about babies a lot. or he's kind of into a new phase with that so that's new.
um do you think he recognizes the names? mhm yeah. um he er recognizes can't say but knows the names of a lot of the different foods. spoon dog bear bird um book. bottle um peas bread pasta... oh yeah that's good feeding the baby. cup pizza juice. icecream cookie um duck. baby! yeah baby. those um are probably the main things that he knows. um do you have any of the same toys at home? we have the big um version of the put me in the zoo book. the like full um size one. er the hard cover but it's got paper inside and it's the full length story. we haven't read it in a while but we have read it. ba. yeah put me in the zoo... um we don't have any play food at home. we have a lot um stuffed bears. he has a stuffed bear that he sleeps with. we have a baby doll that's about half the size of this one and it's like soft. that we haven't really played with [laughs] um. would you say that he prefers to play with food or I'm sorry playing with toys over books or just does he seems to prefer just reading books or a little of both? I'd say it's both. today he didn't seem that interested in reading but at home he'll like get out books and like flip through them and stuff like that. his brother is into reading. so he kind of does whatever his brother is doing. okay I think that is all we have for.
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6206MP.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/5936SR.cha = = = okay. okay. like I said this is our short visit. key. the key. blue key. [above two lines are IDS.] um so what books were you reading to her? um we read Goodnight Moon On the Farm and the Foot Book. and then I know that she really likes Goodnight moon. uhhuh. um that she may recognize or...? mhm yeah. which ones did she say? uh well she's got a really big vocabulary. um I mean I think she probably recognized pretty much all of them. we don't have the counting book but we have Goodnight Moon and we read it a lot and she knows most of the words. I mean especially um the nouns you know. like I know when I asked her what that is she said cow but she knows kitty. mhm. um she knows bear she knows chairs. um she knows all the numbers. she knows cow. and moon. and uh mush. and she knows phone she loves phones. um and fox. I mean I don't know that she really remembers the last time she wore mittens so but she hears it in the book so.
um and balloon definitely that was her favorite thing. and the houses. definitely knows stars is one of her favorite words. um well stars is one of her favorite things so she says stars all the time. um. night night. she says night night instead of good night but she likes night night a lot. what's that? that's called Put Me In the Zoo it's a book of colors. [above two lines are IDS.] Sam. she really likes xxx. Sam. Sam. [IDS.] well that's the Cat in the Hat. and all the Doctor Seuss characters she thinks are Sam from uh Green Eggs and Ham. aw that's cute. um and then the other ones you said that xxx or...? um okay. well she definitely knows duckies. she knows the color words but she doesn't necessarily recognize what color is what. but she knows yellow and um mommy ducks. she knows splish splash from the bath. um she knows sheep. I don't think she knows a ewe and a ram but she knows sheep. and baby and coats. um horsie she knows. um brown eat stay. field.
hay. cows definitely. um moo. she knows piggies and pink. funny. um she might not know what snout is. she nose sniffs around for food. I mean she mostly talks in sentences. those are peas. you know what that is. [above two lines are IDS.] and then which of the stuffed animals do you think she was interested in? she likes Pooh. we have um the classic Pooh at home so he looks a little bit different. but she loves Pooh. um I guess she liked this one when I told her it was Pooh. um and she liked the doll. she loves dolls. um she didn't really pay much attention to the other ones. I saw she was interested in um the bandaid on the leg. yeah. well her big sister loves bandaids they're like her favorite thing. and she gets a bandaid as a prize at the end of the day from when she started potty training. if she has a dry day she gets a bandaid at the end of the day. so um I think that just because she knows Emma's so into bandaids now she likes them too. so. you hafta be when you're the younger sister. right. you hafta follow the lead. right.
um and do you have any similar toys to these at home? she has a bee but it's not like with the letters. I don't think she recognized what this was. um and like I said we have the Pooh but it's a different version. um we don't have any plastic food. although we probably should get some because they really like that. were there any things that you think maybe she was more interested in previous visits? hm I don't remember. um I think that last time we were here I think she played with the plastic food more. this time it seemed like she only played with the peas. but I don't know if she noticed it 'cause it was kind of behind me. mhm. oh now you notice it. [IDS.] that was it for us. that was great. great job Sophia! you get a toy! oh boy. what's that? it's a waffle. I love waffles. Daddy loves waffles. [above eight lines are IDS.] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/6825MT.cha = = = you guys did a great job. okay. xxx to see this like dialogue between like an eighteen month old and the mother. never?
not usually it's pretty rare. more so with like a twenty four month old and the mother. um but you guys did a great job that's why I was like giggling. she's wild. um because like you could understand exactly what she was saying and you were like talking back and forth it was like a real conversation going on. so whoever is like transcribing this is gonna like be thrilled. I just have a few questions... no she's hilarious. um what did you all play with first? um she played with the food. um mainly the pizza and the um what she calls an icepop. they eat icepops more than icecream 'cause Michael's allergic to icecream. okay. so most of the time when she sees she now calls it a icepop. she useta call it icecream but they eat icepops or popsicles so much now hat she just refers to it all as one thing now. [laughs]. thanks I'll hold on to that. Kayla you stinky stink. [above two lines are IDS.] um what else did she play with after that? um she played with this she thought it was a dragon which in all reality it does look like a dragon. mhm. it definitely doesn't look like a sheep now that I think about it. mhm. she played with the baby. okay. um she played with most of the food um... what other food items? the bread. okay.
the spoons. that was it for the food this time. oh the spaghetti. okay. the bee. and I think the dog there was some dog over here. [child is babbling in background.] okay. I don't even see it. oh. um were there other items that she was playing with that she didn't play with before? um I think she's more active this time around. you know she'd just pick up something if she knew what it was but... she played with mostly the food. pizza for some reason they love I don't know why. [laughs]. um I can't remember it's been so while since I've been here. I think the last time we were here I read her a book. a story. okay. did you try reading her a book this time? yeah she wasn't interested she was interested in putting the shoes on the baby. okay. by herself. [laughs]. um [laughs]. which is hilarious. I think we played with the zebras and the otters and the... okay. that's what we played with last time.
this time she wasn't so much interested in the stuffed animals except for the baby and her icecream and spoon. that's what she interested now. see? besides the icecream and pizza are there items that you think she does recognize? like she knows what a teddy bear is she knows what a dog is she knows what a bird is. um I don't even know what half of these animals are so. she knows this is probably a horse I know it's a donkey. yeah. um she knows what a frog is. she knows most of the food items. um she probably don't know what corn is 'cause I don't cook it that much. [laughs]. but she know what peas are. I cook it but I always mix it with mixed vegetables so. if she don't know what corn is that's her problem. and let's see that's about it I don't know what this other stuff is. she thought this was um oh she played with the waffles thinkin' it was something. she knows what a cookie is. okay. and what else? I think that's it. okay awesome thank you so much. she knows a lot of things. oh am I done? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/18/7814NB.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/6493TM.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5039MB.cha = = = do you remember what Macy played with last time? I think it was the plates.
yeah? I think so. uh did you notice any difference have you noticed even at home any differences with how she plays with things at home? um. not really. she um... she's. I don't know. she's usually. just... like this like she'll get tired of a toy like [chuckles]. within five seconds and go on to the next. say... [infant-directed] hi! [infant-directed] [exhales] xxx. is so is she still into toys rather than more so than books? um. no I have some books that I put in front of her that she likes. they're like the huge... books that have like million and one different like pictures of things and... um. but she likes those books and then of course the ones that make noise [chuckles]. so but. and then... she has a good night moon book. it's not this one this ones the counting book but like... the regular good night moon book that she likes. okay.
so... um have how 'bout so today she played with well what do you think was her like favorite thing? xxx today. all this food stuff. [laughs] like um... a couple times she would grab the stuffed animals or I would try to... [to pronounced "da"] introduce the stuffed animals or the book and... she might've played with them for like two seconds but then xxx decide to either grab the pizza or the peas. so... okay. and do you think she recognized the names of any like any of the foods familiar? um probably pizza. because and as soon as she seen the pizza and picked it up she tried to eat it. 'cause she had pizza a few nights ago. so... I think she recognized and was like hey! but um... other than that... she eats peas but we don't really specifiy that she's eating peas at the moment. but... anything else. other than the bottle. I don't even know if I had said bottle but... that would be the other really other thing she I think would understand what it was. yeah. uh how 'bout like the sundaes or the the co the icecream cone? [coughs]. um. she might recognize icecream.
'cause she gets icecream at home. um. or like when we're out but... um. I don't think we have it often enough for her to... [to pronounced "da"] kinda put two and two together. [vocalizes]. but that's a big treat though for her to get that. yeah. do you have any um similar toys at home? um we don't have any of the food which I should probably get. um. she has she has a bunch of stuffed animals but she really doesn't like to play with them at home either. I would say probably the only thing that I know she has is the keys. and she has a babydoll at home too but she's not really into the playing with babydolls stage yet I guess. did she... so. today? kind of like I um... put it next to her and she kinda looked at it like [laughs]. what's goin' on but. but um... and then like a couple seconds later she went back to it and was like pullin' it towards here an'... like messin' with it's hand. so... you're crawlin' all over the food. [child-directed speech] 't's slippery huh? having fun?
[laughs]. you having fun? [laughs]. um so you said you have the animals at home? yeah. does she know them like by name or is she familiar with the name at least? probably the only... animal. that she would know the name of other than dogs 'cause have dogs or puppy. mhm. like she knows the names of those. and um... the only other one that like stuffed animal wise I think she would recognize is a bunny. 'cause she has a bunny that she plays with constantly at home. not plays with she usually sleeps with it. mhm. so. but say I can't go to bed without my bunny. do you think she's um she's at home more interested in some categories? mhm. um stuffed animals dolls food books like that? at home... she probably likes more hard plastic toys the best. um like she'll look through books and like like she's reading. but um and then the stuffed animals but she doesn't... really. play with 'em like she'll play with 'em for a few minutes but she'll always go back to that hard plastic. so. is she eating soups at home or anything like brothy? xxx!
not yet we've just started introducing a lot of foods so... but like a couple weeks ago she had pizza and she's had... um. she's had uh... a lot of stuff actually I don't think though... I've ever given her... soup or anything like that. so. um I was just bringing it up because I saw the... oh yeah. so I was just thinking. trying to formulate it in some way? uh so the food was a big success today and what do you think was the thing she went for the least? probably the books. 'cause every time and especially this book. 'cause I remember her kind of... messin' with it last ni either last time or the time before 'cause of the little patches of hair but... all of the books like I would put in front of her and she'd be like eh [laughs]. she's like there's food here. [laughs]. [laughs]. how is she playing with the food what do you think she likes about the food? um. I don't know [laughs]. like a couple of times she would bang it together and then... like with the peas. she had like they when we got here they were on a plate like this. and she picked 'em up played with them for a little bit tried to put 'em back on the plate. and when that didn't work she tried to put it on the other side! but um...
and then... other than that she... you're losing all sorts of traction [laughs]! um. other than that I think she was just kinda holding them checking 'em out an'... bangin' them a little. [laughs] and throwing them! that toy I handed it to her and she was like [whoosh] threw it over her shoulder I was like oh. experimenting xxx. [sound effect]! are there any other foods you can think of that she may be familiar with and xxx? maybe cookie. uh I mean she has like the little bitter biscuits that like melt in their mouth and we call 'em her cookies. so um she might recognize it but she doesn't get 'em often 'cause they're so messy [laughs] so... um. other than that... I don't think she really... would recognize them or the name of them. so. okay so bread or xxx? no we don't eat a lot of bread type stuff in our house so... I don't think she's ever tried pancakes or waffles or bread or anything. so. alright. [sound effect]. yeah? [laughs]. okay well that's it for the line of questioning today. alright.
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4801RB.cha = = = I'm going to ask you a few questions. and she can just keep playing. you can just keep playing! [addressed to child.] playing that's fun. you get to hang onto the bumblebee. [addressed to child.] or feed him pizza. [addressed to child.] or whatever. I wasn't really watched you two. but if I could hear a little bit. what do ya think she liked the best this time? she certainly played with the stuffed animals more than last time. but I think she still liked the food the best. it's hard to say though. shh she seemed to enjoy them more but play with them less time. okay so did she play with more kinds of them? definitely. yeah she def... and what did she play with this time? um well she started out with several of the stuffed animals in a row. um th the kangaroo. the otter. the bumblebee. the eagle. yes I guess that's all. she sort of ignored the rest. and last time she played with the food most of the time but...
and I think she played with food all the time last time. so you get more time with the stuffed animals this time. yeah. and it wasn't a lot of time. but she seemed to enjoy it. and she was very very quiet. she makes lot of noises when she's playing at home. like [imitates noises]. and [imitates noises]. that's her language isn't it? and she was so quiet! but she seemed happy. yeah yeah well she might've been just really absorbed. yeah or possibly a little tired like we said coming in so... yeah xxx yeah. yeah she looked a little tired coming in. did she look at any of the books or the clock? she looked at the clock. not very long. she 'n't look at any of the books. we've had trouble reading at home because she closes the books. and it's just just starting to change. where we can read a couple pages instead of one. [laughs]. alright. that's interesting. did she go over to the baby before? or is this the first time? definitely the first time with the baby. and that's Winnie The Pooh.
[addressed to child.] you played with that a lot too. yes you did play with Winnie The Pooh too. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4310AM.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5573IH.cha = = = okay. let's stop there. okay. she kept looking up at you guys like why won't you play with me and smile? oh really? [clinician continues to overlap mother but can't make out what she's saying.] mean sitting in the corner. okay. let's see. um. so which group of toys did she seem interested in? um I think definitely the play food was her favorite. play food? yeah. did she like any specific ones? um she liked the pizza. uh liked the pizza a lot. the pasta. um the peas. the plate. you gonna say hi? [IDS.] um she liked uh the pitcher and the spoon. she played with that a lot.
and the uh carrot soup she liked. okay. would she recognize any of these do you think? um yeah she recognized I think the peas 'cause we've had peas the past couple nights. um pizza I don't know if she would necessarily recognize the shape per say 'cause we cut it up but you know I've said you know she's had pizza before I've cut up. um and bread. you know she knows her bread and we just had pasta for the first time too this week so I think she... yeah. [IDS.] okay um. so why would you say she likes this group? um I mean she did play with the frog too she liked the frog. and the eagle she played with. um I think it's because we really don't have any play food at home so it's something new different. okay. yeah. um. interesting. yeah. uh we asked for some for your birthday right? [IDS.] so. um but I think that was the main reason. um 'cause she has plenty of books at home and loves her books at home. you know she'll take 'em all off her shelf and flip through 'em and... um and she has some stuffed animals but they're really you know she could take 'em or leave 'em. yeah. [vocalizes]. um do you have any of the books we have? um we have Goodnight Moon but not in the board book.
we have the Foot Book and Mister Brown. um and we have a Karen Katz book but not the baby peekaboo. okay. uh let's see. so which would you say she was least interested in? the books or...? uh yeah I guess the books. I tried to read her peekaboo and she was like [imitates baby]. okay. um do you think there're any other items she'd recognize the name of? um definitely cheese. um she loves cheese so she would recognize the cheese the pizza the peas the bread. um. oh icecream. you haven't had icecream. one day you'll know what that is. got the keys? we have keys at home. [laughs]. hi! aw. [above 8 lines are IDS.] um oh what about the animals would she recognize names of or...? um she recognized some of 'em um. um you know we talked about frogs and she has some books about frogs or that have frogs in 'em. um you know the bumblebee she would recognize the name. okay. um and you said you have... oh you answered that question. would you say she prefers toys or books now?
um. at home. at home I mean it's pretty much a fifty fifty split. um when we play in the living room we have all of her toys and she has some books there but when we're in her room she has a lot more books and you know she'll take all the books of her shelf and... so it's pretty split. you know it depends on where we are and what she's in the mood for but um... okay. oh you got it. you know how to eat it. [above 3 lines are IDS.] um oh what about the doll. did she... didn't even go near it. no? does she have any dolls at home? um not like that no. she has like um a more of a stuffed doll um. oh yeah. you know but she doesn't have like a real babydoll. okay. um 'kay I think that's it. unless is there anything you wanna tell us like does she have a favorite toy at home or anything? um. ball maybe? [IDS.] um she has a couple of balls she does like to chase those around and watch 'em roll. um um um like she loves her cups you know like the stacking cups and um the rings. you know she's putting on the rings and things. um. [vocalizes].
yeah. [IDS.] she really liked the pitcher. and the spoon. oh yeah. yeah. that's a big xxx. yeah. okay I think we're all set then. 'kay. great. you did a good job! say thank you. [above 2 lines are IDS.] we can turn everything off. oh did she get her prize already? yes. yes we did. she got a book. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4664AM.cha = = = xxx wanna clean up the toys? yeah haha. okay I'm just gonna ask you to clip that back onto your sweater... okay. 'cause um I'm sure you've been asked these questions before. but ah I just thought I would ask them again. you're making a mess kiddo. [to child.] there's the bins!
[to child.] let's put the toys in the bin. [to child.] let's put the toys in the bins. [to child.] bye bye drooly bumblebee! [to child.] [vocalizes]. yeah! [babbles]. let's put the toys in the bins! [to child.] no put the toys in the bin. [to child.] in the bin! [to child.] come here Aj. [to child.] [makes lifting sound]. put it in! [to child.] over here! [to child.] put 'em in! [to child.] put 'em in! [to child.] [putting toys in bins]. put 'em in! [to child.]
here you go put it in. [to child.] yeah! [putting toys in bins]. thank you. [putting toys in bins]. ah byebye toys! I know this part's not fun. wanna look at this while I talk to your mom? haha. okay so um just a few questions for you. I'm sure you've been asked these before. um but um so my first question would be have there been any changes since like the last visit or so since like maybe the first or the second visit maybe in terms of what toys he likes to play with or what games he likes to play with? um he's definitely expanded not from the second to the third visit 'cause it was last week. but from his first to second visit he plays with a lot more toys now and a lot more actively with toys. um he useta play with just like rattles and stuff. and now he's into like block and and everything. come here monster come here monster. [to child.] let's go over here. [to child.] come over here. [to child.] [makes sound effects]. go get him! [to child.] haha. [imitates sound effects]. go get it! [to child.]
and he's a lot more active now than he was at seven or eight months. he's a lot more mobile. okay so which toys do you think that he was the most interested in this visit? this visit was probably this book. um and the little bumblebee. he's traditionally liked the bumblebee. thank you. [to child.] thank you. [to child.] he played with the food toys not necessarily 'cause they were food toys 'cause he likes blocks a lot. so I think it was things he could throw around pretty easily. he likes to do that. okay. yeah! [to child.] haha does he like animals a lot? no I mean we've had this book at home. and he doesn't care for it so... it's a pretty similar book. and so th that's new. does he like ducks? no haha. haha okay. I think he likes the texture of that bumblebee stuffed toy. he always has since he started coming but... no that's the first time he's really played with that. and my husband tries to read it to him like every night this and other books. and he could care less. haha which ones do you think interested him the least in terms of the toys that were here this visit?
um still not into like doll babies or anything like that. um and then he's not really interested in stuffed toys too much anymore. [vocalizes]. why do you think that might be he's not interested in that...? like when he throws or moves a block around it makes a noise and it... when he swee moves a stuffed toy around it usually doesn't squeak or make noise. xxx he's interested in things that like can bang together and make noise. or like when we're home we often stack. and he knocks it down. stuffed toys aren't as noisy or interactive yeah. okay. and he doesn't really have like a security blanket or anything yet so... there's nothing he's particularly attached to. and out of the books which book would you prefer that he would look at with you? um I mean this one's cool 'cause it's got the textures and the... now I didn't actually read it to him. the ones that we have at home we read to him. and he's bored. but we always tell him you know the doggie and the kitty and encourage him to touch it. so these are hits usually. okay and do you think there are any items that you think your child recognizes the name of? are there any items...? probably not. we don't have any of these at home so. little boy. [to child.] [vocalizes]. okay. do you think um there are any items that he's never seen or heard of before? um I mean a lot of the food items were very blocklike.
like I don't think I've ever said to him spaghetti. but he's eaten spaghetti. he just wouldn't know what that was. um I don't think except for here he's ever played with like a doll baby too much. um he's had stuffed toys and other stuff though. you have a few of these toys kind of like at home. you said you have some of these books. yeah we have books and blocks and um we do have some stuffed things. okay and do you think he prefers books or toys? toys. I mean when he plays with books it's because it's toylike. it's not like he's reading it. especially the small ones he kind of just opens it and goes back and forth because it... so it's something to play with not because it's got words in it. he could care less. what did you get little boy? [to child.] and so you said you don't play with it but the dolls and the pretend food and things like that. no. do you think that he might have recognized any of the play food? I know you said the spaghetti would probably... yeah not that he eats a lot of cookies or any really. but last time I kept saying cookie. and he seemed to really like that one. I don't think he recognized anything 'cause I mean most of th what he gets is like not anything like that. I mean maybe the bread. but probably not since we never give him a piece of bread. we give him pieces of anything. uhoh. uhoh.
yay! okay then I think that's it. hey Alden. Aj! haha. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5365DL.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5482DF.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5954ML.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4650KS.cha = = = so first of all what do you think has changed since last time? um I think she is getting a little bit better at like some of the pretend play I mean like the fact that she fed the baby that's the first time I've seen her do that. that that was pretty impressive. um I think her receptive language has improved a little bit since last time. so you think she knows some of the words you were talking about? yeah well I think just understanding like I don't know I guess just like you know you know give it to the baby or you know whatever I mean she just I don't know obviously she probably wouldn't understand all those words but. understood the ideas behind it some more. so still a lot of these things are foreign to her I mean she has eaten peas finally but I don't know that I've labeled them for her. so. yeah yeah. yeah is the baby eating? that's her sign for eat. hi baby. yeah. is there anything else here that you would think that she particularly recognize from having at home? I mean the pretend food we don't have at all um. and like like she has a cup and we don't drink juice but she has a cup and she drinks that a lot more now so. that was probably more familiar and we do read good night moon so even though this was a different version I think she recognized some parts of it and she definitely showed a lot more interest in the pages that looked like. the copy that we have than the ones where it was like counting and she definitely didn't seem interested in those ones. it's a book.
book. and the pages that looked like in the book she was more interested in those um. and puppy I mean she knows and I think she knew that one last time too. she's known that one for awhile. um I dunno I mean everytime we come she loves the pretend food and we still don't have any pretend food but I feel like that's something that we definitely probably needta get her at some point soon. cause she does seem to show a pretty good interest in it although I think most of it is just teething and mouthing. well you know I can be shaped into good play. um I noticed you were doing a lot of body parts. is that something you've been working on? just recently yeah I've been trying to start getting her especially the facial ones like eyes nose mouth. trying to get her to recognize some of those I mean I I don't think she knows them yet but I mean I think she's starting to be more familiar with the words. hearing me say them. cause like when I say oh look it's so and so's eyes. she tends to look to see what I'm pointing at so. maybe she knows it but I think she's just starting to be familiar with the word but not necessarily knowing what it means. you have a cup? and spoons um she has we've attached some measuring spoons so whenever she eats she gets to play with those so that's a familiar toy which I don't think she had last time. so yeah yeah you get to play with your spoons huh? [mother is speaking to child.] yeah spoons. [mother is speaking to child.] hi baby hi baby. [mother is speaking to child.] of all the stuffed animals xxx picked out three in particular. the puppies and the frog cause she seemed to love frogs I mean we have a couple different frog things at home and she seems and just this last week she started cause I try to do some science and xxx for a frog. and just this last week she started when I talk about frogs she'll stick her tongue out she didn't do it this time but it's a frog. [the words it's a frog were directed towards the child.] you see the frog. [mother is speaking to child.] [laughter] yeah and we do sing that little song usually whenever we see a frog so she likes that [! sound effects].
[the end of phrase is mother singing a song to the child.] like that can you do [sound effect]? no. your going to say it but you aren't going to do the tongue now but she does she does. where she's I think she's xxx. frog yeah. [mother is speaking to child.] yay yeah frog. [mother is speaking to child.] and then puppies like I said she knows and like so and she has stuffed animals of puppies too so. you do you have a dog at home? yes we do have a dog at home. yeah yeah we do have a cat at home too but she doesn't like I think she started like sometimes she'll imitate like kitty an approximation of the word for me but puppy she's definitely more interested in the dog than the cat. she likes to yell at him actually just like she yelled at the puppy dog the stuffed animals. you love your puppy? your puppy? yeah your puppy? that's not a puppy that's a frog xxx. [mother is speaking to child.] yeah it's a puppy. so you said that the spoons were something that you newly you've gotten since like the last time that you were here as a toy is there anything else that's a new toy xxx? um I don't think so you know not similar to what you have here. I don't think so. are you hiding oh I see you I see you. [mother is speaking to child.] [laughter]. well I think that is it um. so this was the third visit. the final one. for this period in your life um.
um and um yeah when she gets closer to two years um. that's when we will start looking to see whether any of these different things that these different skills relate to how she's learned. what you know what kind of vocabulary she has and she developed over. over time um. yeah [laughter]. [laughter]. although probably not big for a two year old cause she still seems to be she stays small for her age. tall but skinny. yeah it's true. [clincian is speaking while mother is speaking.] my brother was the chubbiest baby ever he was so fat he just had rolls upon his rolls and yet. he's one of the skinniest adults. what do you see the frog? [mother is speaking to child.] frog. [mother is speaking to child.] yeah. yeah you do you making music with them? yeah. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4858CM.cha = = = have you noticed? this visit that he was um. that he have different interests? [toys moving around making noise.] in different toys or? [toys moving around making noise.] some kinds? [bad line lots of toy noise.] um he seemed to.
[clincian talking at the beginning.] he seemed ta. have a maybe longer attention span. [clinician talking at the end.] with a few of them. [clinician talking at the beginning.] [moving toys around]. food. [noisy line.] okay. um. he's getting. to eat more. like finger food table food... okay. [rest of the word is on the next line.] kind of stuff so. [clinician talking at the beginning.] I thought he was. most interested in the food you'd say? I think so. [a little toy noise.] yeah. [a little toy noise.] [moving toys around]. okay um:. do you think he'd recognize? any of the foods we have here? [toy noise between words "we" and "have."] any of the names of them?
um. the peas he's had. fairly frequently. so that might be when. [clinician talking in the middle. a little toy noise.] he recognizes. uh huh. [a little toy noise.] and maybe from last time. [a little toy noise.] I can't remember what. food we played with last time. [mother laughing as she talks at the end. clinician talking in the middle.] but I know we played with some food. yeah it's been a while... so. um. do you guys have play food at home? we do. okay. mhm. alright. [child banging toys together. not a great line.] so that's why okay. [child banging toys together. not a great line.] um. which would you say he's least? [a little toy noise at first.] interested in? [toy noise towards the last word.]
which uh set? [not a great line. child banging toys together.] [moving toys around]. uh um:. [toy noise.] probably the stuffed animals I guess. okay. we don't have many. [a little toy noise.] because his older brother. [a little toy noise.] doesn't like them. [a little toy noise.] he seems to be a little bit interested. so. right you have a bird. [directed to the child.] oh. [directed to the child.] alright and um:. do you? read books at home? mhm. [clinician says "at home."] okay. do you have of the ones you have here? [slight noise in the background.] t. uh. [silence].
we have put me in the zoo and the foot book. and we've gotten this one from the library a few times. [babbles]. mhm. [directed towards the child.] um. so would you say he's into toys? [child makes noise.] or books? [child makes noise.] now? [babbles]. um mostly toys... okay. the books he's not so interested in. looking through them he wants to close them. haha. [clinician laughing too.] ugh yeah. [mother is laughing. toy noise at end.] you're two on them. [clinician says um at the beginning.] what about? did he like the doll? at all? he didn't seem very interested. no. you have any of those at home? [child softly babbles in the middle.] we have one.
[makes noise]. um but it's his brothers. [child coughs. clinician says oh at the end.] okay. so he doesn't. [makes noise]. I dunno. he doesn't see it much. [clinician says mhm at the beginning.] play with it. oh okay. okay. um:. do you think he'd recognize any of the? um? animals? [cries]. you have? [child making noise.] maybe? the names of them? um:. we just went to the. fair. so we saw a bunch of. like farm animals I don't see any. [child babbling in the middle.] [babbles]. farm animals. [child babbling.]
do you think he would know a dog? [can hear heavy breathing from the child.] [vocalization]. um yeah he might. [makes noise]. I don't know that. [child makes noise at the beginning.] those look like any of the dogs ha. yeah. [mother laughing a little.] haha. he has seen. okay. [bad line. mirophone noise.] [microphone noise]. [cries]. [bad line. microphone noise.] oh okay. [microphone noise]. um:. [bad line. microphone noise. some sort of nosie through line 198.] I think that's it. um. plus is there anything you can think of? that he plays at home? [child makes noise in the middle.] [babbles]. [clinician talking too, but can't make out the words.] [microphone noise]. we have a lot of cars.
and trucks. and trains and all that. [clinician maybe says something at the end.] and he seems very interested in them. uh huh. pushing them around. right. [microphone noise]. okay I think... he's started to enjoy puzzles. just. [clinician talks too.] taking the pieces out. trying to put them back. okay. [cries]. either while he's standing or sitting down. [middle of line is bad. clinician talks at the end.] mhm. so. alright. [silence]. combing. mhm. what he's able to do. you know? right. [vocalization]. okay. I think we're all set then um.
okay. did you guys get a prize? [child making noise.] we did. [clinician talking too.] no. [clinician talking. ball bounces.] [microphone noise]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5193HB.cha = = = wanna play with Erica? come on. while I talk to mommy [laughs]. [laughs]. okay. um has there been anything you've noticed has changed since the last time that you were here? um I think the last time she really liked the doll and this time I don't think she could have cared less. [laughing]. about the doll. she was like really into the doll. she was holding her hand and everything. this time she didn't care. mhm. so which toys do you think she was most interested in this time? um all the food. the food toys. maybe she's hungry? [laughing]. maybe. could be.
I don't know. she was really into the food toys and she loves this gross thing. [laughing]. the hair is gross but I guess its cool it feels cool. um which toys do you think she has the least interested in besides the doll? um like just the little animals in general. she kinda just picked 'em up and threw 'em. and then... she got into the books at the end. so yeah I would say these stuffed animals. um. [silence]. does she play with similar toys at home? yeah we have food toys. and um I don't have little stuffed animals really. a couple but not many. but yeah we play with these similar ones at home. and any of the books? do you have any of these books at home? no. I don't have these same books but we have a lot of books. and she likes to look through them. which book do you think she was most interested today? [someone sneezes] she liked this one. the the peekaboo one. [silence]. um do you think there are any items here that she would recognize the name of? um doggie. yeah she knows doggie and baby.
the little baby but she didn't. say it. she usually calls her doll a baby. um what about any of the food items? um that she would recognize the name of yeah but she doesn't know how to say the word yet. mhm so you use the words at home? yeah. like if I say spaghetti she'll look at the spaghetti. okay. try to say it. um do you think that she prefers books or toys in general? hm I think she likes both? I don't know which one she prefers. I guess toys. if I hadta pick one. [noise]. Kim, did you say you have any dolls at home? ye'h. we have a doll oops sorry. ye'h we have a doll. a couple dolls. we have a baby doll and then like you know little animal dolls. look! look. is there anything that you think we should know about her play? um nope. nothing special sorry. we ruined your... it's okay. I think it's fixable.
ye'h it is. look at this guy. this gross guy. he's got like hair. like real hair. it's like stuck to the gummy hair. its gross. we tried to clean them off... ye'h I know. I know. yeah that's it. I think similar to last time she's just really into the pizza. [laughing]. I guess the pizza's pretty. mhm. it's got a lot of colors. right. okay um the only the question I have for you is we won't see her again until she is around two. um would you like called for other studies in between? sure sure mhm. I don't know of I can come to all of them but... of course ye'h. ye'h. you have the option anytime to decline and we keep you on the list. okay. so um you'll call me when she is ready to come back for the... mhm either our lab or there are three other labs on campus. so it could be any of those labs too. okay. is that the last one...?
or is that just one of the series? of tests in this one. um this study is only four we'll call you when she's at two. oh that's the last one. okay and then um but we... that's awhile. ye'h. ye'h. but we have studies here for all ages. um and the other labs as well. ye'h it was kinda fun. oops. [laughing]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5837AK.cha = = = yeah that looks kinda realistic... it does. have you ever had one? alright [laughs]. you can play. you can play. so how do you think she um today compares with the last time that she was here in terms of what she wanted to do? I think it um is very similar to her sister also that she had a more varied interest last time. and this time it was pretty much in the middle category of plastic products. and is she teething also? yes. yes she cut her most recent tooth little less than a week ago. like five days ago. so you were just on schedule. mhm.
yeah [rustling]. [whispering.] okay did she have any particular um items that... she went straight for the pizza pieces and really kind of kept coming back to the pizza though [rustling]. that's her favorite. huh. it sounds like you showed her other things? mhm. I did. she liked this bottle too. okay. I would say this one. the bottle was her second favorite. [experimenter talking at same time.] yeah and then she did spend some time with the sandwich parts um but not as much. mhm. she's probably not had a sandwich that looks like that. right. okay. but she hasn't had pizza that looks like it either [laughs]. I think the peas are the most realistic looking you know of. [mother says mhm at same time as experimenter says you know] the food items. did she pay any attention to those? um she did pick 'em up once and chewing on 'em a little bit. um I definitely think they look realistic but um when she eats peas they're like little cheerios you know she can pick them up with xxx [rustling] and do 'em in their spread out so um I'm not sure she associated that with what peas are. okay. that's right it. you did like that. icecream cone too.
not that she knows what an icecream cone is. no [laughs]. no she hasn't had icecream. okay so that must be why you think maybe she wants to chew on things. yeah I think she's just teething and [laughing] likes different textures and the way it feels in her mouth. how about the other things? did she pay any attention to any of the animals? um a little bit at the beginning and I tried to get her interested in the puppet but she kept eating the pizza. so [laughs]. you didn't like the kangaroo. [laughs]. I like that one cause it has the baby. mhm. I do too I think that's really cute. and I thought that would be different we don't have puppets at home I should probably get some but we don't have any of those so I thought she might respond to that 'cause it's different but. [child crying in background.] does she have any animals that are the same as what we have? uh we have a Pooh a Pooh bear. um. about that size too. um and we have animals that are similar but not the exact ones. so you don't have an eagle? we don't have an eagle no [laughing]. and. or the donkey the patriotic donkey we don't have that either. a little unusual. right. um and what about the books? [child vocalizes in background.] she didn't go for the books at all um to be fair I didn't really try very hard to get her interested in it.
and then she probably didn't xxx did she. no she didn't go over to this category of things at all. okay so it was really mostly the food items? yeah things that feel good to chew on [laughs]. okay um did she play with that... I know you said it was new. does she play with those new toys at home those new um food items? yeah she does and it's the same thing she puts 'em right in her mouth it. they're good to chew on and interesting um I mean she pushes the shopping cart around but I don't think she knows that she's pushing a shopping cart around I think it's just a developmental skill she's at the point where she wants to practice walking. [child vocalizing in background.] alright. but um. but yeah she enjoys playing with the food items at home. [child vocalizing in background.] but we don't have these particular ones. we don't have little pizzas. mhm. a sandwich that look like this or anything like that. um let's see if I have... baby. can you come here please? no. so she has that and um at home would you say that she has a favorite kind of toy? when I know that she's teething so maybe that this influences this. I really don't think she has a favorite kind of toy she likes a variety of things. at home she like books. she spends a lot of time with books. um she spends a lot of time with stuffed animals and things that look like they have a personality like she'll talk to things and um she uh she's different in her from her sister in that way she really responds more to things that look like little creatures. um and then she does her fair share of chewing on plastic things. but so she kind of runs a gamut.
yeah that's really xxx. at home. it's too bad. much more than you saw here today. yeah. well the teething can have a big influence xxx it's too bad we don't have a dog that looks... Loulou doesn't really look that much like... [child coughing in background.] right I showed her the chihuahua thing that there was a. oh there's a. that's right. I don't know where it went. somewhere. yeah maybe she's sitting on it. maybe I'm sitting on it [laughs]. maybe they're by her. yeah xxx it's like that kind of... yeah but she liked the big dog stuffed animal xxx and she was talking to and listening. um that's more typical of her behavior at home. that's what she was doing in the waiting room. okay. you liked ladies. eating like a lady. you did. you did. well I think um that's all I needta ask you unless... okay. you think of anything that you think would be good for us to know. um about what she likes to do how she like to play. nope this is xxx pretty typical.
I wanted to ask you though. um and this is also I hafta turn this off. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/7236FB.cha = = = [silence]. so what was he most interested in? standing up [laughs]. the peas of course. every time the peas have been his favorite. it's the food that he recognizes the most. he likes peas a lot. but I think they're also very chewy. the texture to chew 'em and such. [vocalizes] the waffles. he likes the waffles. and we had ice cream cones the other day so he was carrying that around xxx. not for very long though. was he interested in any other of the foods? uh he looked at the pizza and the spaghetti. that's about it today. oh and this can thing. [silence]. what is that? what have you got? [laughs]. did you show... he just likes the way he can hold it and drop it [laughs]. that one he doesn't really chew it. he just holds it and drops it.
makes a good noise I think the xxx. did you show him any of the animals? I did. I showed him the bee and the sheep and the kangaroo. but mostly he just liked that this had eyes that he could bite. [laughs]. I was tellin' him that his sister and brother useta like xxx. we don't hafta be at home right now so he doesn't know what they are [laughs]. but they do. so what was the game you were playing with him with the...? uhoh peas on the head? well first it was all fall down 'cause he likes to drop things. and so like before we were we um... like he likes to do it in the bathtub and stuff like that. like he just picks something up and drops it. [vocalizes] over something or around something. and so we're just calling it all fall down. and then he started falling down. and then I was putting peas on our heads and they were falling down. and peas in the mouth and it fell down too. was there anything he was interested last time that he didn't go for this time? he did more of the food last time. this time he was more happy standing up. and he usually goes and pulls her hair for a little bit but he didn't do that this time. oh here's the ice cream cone. that's the only thing baby dolls are good for for him. you can pull their hair without them getting mad at you huh? [laughs]. he likes to pull hair.
and bite. so do you guys have a lot of these toys at home or...? um we have some spoons and plates and not really many food toys like that. so we have the bottle. um lots of stuffed animals but... he doesn't play with those as much lots of little stuff animals. my daughter plays with those more than him. [vocalizes] and we have a babydoll like that. we have a couple babydolls for my daughter but... um we have yeah several of the books like that xxx ones. does he like it when you read to him? we usually do one book for him and the rest he just sits through his siblings' books. he just listens to their books too. what kinda books do you read to him? oh he likes the touch and feel ones a lot. and ones with baby pictures. yeah. and we have some little ones that are little tiny ones that he likes to carry around. um. [vocalizes] but he mostly listens pretty well to theirs actually. just 'cause he's got the lap and he likes to keep his throne. are you a good listener? yeah. it's good to be a good listener. okay. well we are done with this part. [microphone sounds].
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/6878SK.cha = = = um which of these do you think interests her the most? the food and these spoons. and do you think that's similar or different than the last visit? very similar to the last time. I don't remember the first time but last time she definitely stayed with mostly the food. okay was there any food in particular that she really liked? um I'd say the pizza. mostly the pizza and then the spoons which aren't food but the kitchen stuff. okay um which do you think is a good toy for her personality? for her personality oh wow that's a different question. um whats a good toy for your personality? I really don't know what I'd say to that one. 'cause it amazes me that she sits in this one spot and doesn't move around to play with all these toys. yeah it doesn't work at home this we [laughs] I would hafta start surrounding her [laughs]. which toy is good for your personality? I mean it's okay if you don't know. I don't. that's kinda a weird question. um which do you think seemed to interest her the least? the least? everything or the ones I tried out for her? um either. well she seemed to have no interest in this earlier when I tried to play with these. until just now. and the book today which is surprising because she usually joins us when we read at home. because she has two older brothers so we do books. and she's usually right in the middle of them either turning them or listening. so I was surprised when I pulled out these two that she has no interest. now you're gonna go go ahead.
does she play with similar toys at home? um not to the food. 'cause we don't have any food at home. um that's not true once in a while she plays with the fake apples we have but it's not usually in the toy area. um books usually. um once in a while a baby doll. a little bit smaller baby doll [laughing]. that's like her size [laughing]. um so yeah I think we needta go get food because it does seem to always interest her here. um what does she generally like to do with dolls at home? she doesn't often play with her dolls she'll just kinda hold it a little bit but then it's not one of her favorites. um she typically plays with more the musical interactions toys or vehicles with her brothers. actually that's like a typical one playing with cars versus a doll. um do you think she recognized any of the names of these objects? um when I said the drink and she put that to her mouth. made me think she was I was surprised that she did that. um I mean she does have cups and bottles at home but it surprised me that she put that right to her mouth. other than that I don't think she really knows the names of the other ones. okay would she be familiar with any of the stuffed animals like Winnie the Pooh or the? no. not by like name or xxx. um is there anything else that you xxx? um that she doesn't usually sit this still with a group of toys around her [laughing]. I want her to do this at home when I need her too. um when I wanna work sit and play. um no I don't think so. other than she must love this food and I hafta go by new toys. no [laughing] she likes the food you like that? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/7660HK.cha = = =
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4629AB.cha = = = okay. huh? you see? you can play. I think I'll talk to your mom. talk to your mom. yeah that's her. that's right that's your mom. well um I don't know how long ago it was that you came for the second visit but... it was like a month. okay so maybe there have been some changes I dunno. that you noticed with what he likes to play with or how he's playing with toys. um. I'm not going to write this down. just gonna capture it. I think um he's starting to learn what things are a little bit more. so you know he might've known that this kind of stuff is food I dunno. um we don't have any toys like this at home. any of the food toys. so it's different for him. okay any of the xxx or dishes or anything like that okay. I mean when we're in the kitchen he plays with the spoons and the spatulas and... but uh otherwise we don't have any of the play foods so that's sorta new to him. okay did he seem to like that a lot? yeah I mean I would point out the animals and he didn't even seem to care about those as much. you like the food and everything. [addressed to child.] did he have any favorite foods? he kept grabbing the uh...
[vocalizes]. the pizza and the hamburger he kept going for. he did. he really liked that pizza. but it doesn't look so much like a real thing do you think he...? I don't know that he would know that it's real pizza. I mean all he's ever had is a crust with pizza anyways. so he's never really seen it. mhm. um. for some reason he liked it. why do you think he liked those? hamburger and pizza. um I dunno he's always liked things that are red in color. [mic noise.] oh. I dunno if that has anything to do with it that's a complete guess. um because then this is sorta boring looking in comparison so... but he liked that? he liked it he was holding on to this like the whole time. wow okay. um let's see. so would you say the food interested him the most of all the toys? definitely yeah. where you going Alex? [addressed to child.] which things do you think interested him the least? um. you can go find your car. [addressed to child.]
I think the books. he likes books at home but usually it's when he's quiet. and we're sitting. and napping. so for him that was just too slow. okay. so he wasn't as interested. um he definitely seemed to be interested in the baby. but then as soon as you brought it over he was you know. he thought it was neat. but uh. he noticed it or something. he definitely noticed it. you noticed the baby interesting. [addressed to child.] yeah. but maybe doesn't know how to play with it. hi. [addressed to child.] that's interesting. a lot of kids seem to be interested in the facial features of the baby. where's the nose? [addressed to child.] where's the nose? [addressed to child.] where's the nose? [whispered to child.] yeah [laughs]. how about any of these? he remembered this from last time.
and that's completely because of the head. I think he loves this texture. okay. so um this he recognized and this he loved. [laughs]. mom says you like that. [addressed to child.] bee [bzz bzz]. [addressed to child.] xxx bee. [laughs]. I think I heard animal names and sounds but I wasn't sure if they were these animals I... um I mean I did a horse sound and a doggy sound. and then you know we did all the sounds in this. oh in that maybe that was what I was... those are farm ones. and so he knows all the farm animals he knows his rubber duckie at home. does he make the noises yet? no no. but uh when he takes his bath he knows his rubber duckies. and he has this little crab. and if I say where's the crab he gives me the crab. so he knows what they are. so he knows what that means interesting okay. uh huh and you pair the sound with the animal. yeah yeah. so I do it often. so he would pick up on it. um and I asked you about differences from last time. mhm.
no over here. [in the above line and the 7 lines below the mother is moving and picking up the child and there is a lot of mic noise.] they all like that. I'll hafta get a different system for when they get older like you. hey what did I say no. you can play over here. oh that feels good. that feels really good. do you think overall he prefers toys or books at this point. um at this point toys. okay alright. and do you know what um qualities about toys you would say that attract him? you mentioned color. I think the texture is probably bigger than anything. um because he likes to put things in his mouth. you know so he was holding the things that are softer. ah. versus. versus really hard... yeah he wasn't as much. I mean that's a guess. uh he has lots of blocks at home so I was sorta doing blocks with that. you're smiling about that. [addressed to child.] mhm. [vocalizes]. and do you have any dolls at home? um you know they're all not baby dolls they're animals. so there's like a big puppy big bear but actually no baby dolls. so maybe that was it's a little different from what he's useta.
okay and xxx? no we fed Alex. oh oh. [mother laughing.] he fed himself. so he liked drinking from this. except I think he was disappointed there was no water in it. and uh he ate with a spoon. oh he did very nice. well sort of. he pretended right? [mother laughing.] um so do you think he recognizes any of the object names for any of these yet? of what's here I think he might have recognized this. uh when I called it do you want a drink do you want water. I don't use the term cup very often actually. so he definitely recognized that. um he might've recognized spoon. but I'm not sure. um. it seems like you played with a variety of things though. um you got around to at least offering most of these kinds of toys. that's great. that is great. um I think that's all I needta ask you at this point. um unless there's anything you noticed that you thought was kind of interesting for us to know um... um I don't think so. I thought it was odd how he was sitting still the whole time at home he never sits still. he's always all over the place. yeah he was right in that frame the whole time.
yeah I said oh you wanna see the bee and he just sort of stared. he didn't really go for it. so... now xxx. [laughs]. okay well I think that's all I need. okay. and then you're going to come back when he's two. big difference yeah. [mic noise]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/7075MB.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/7018NB.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4452CM.cha = = = okay. [couging]. I'm just gonna ask you a few questions. [child babbles a little.] okay. [babbles]. I see the lights. [to the child. other noise before she speaks.] he can play with the toys if he still wants while we're... okay. asking some questions. um. which of the toys. um. seem to interest Cayden the most? um.
well he played with this bee for a long time. [child makes noise in the middle.] um. and the baby. and the books a little bit. hi! [directed towards the child.] come get me! [directed towards the child.] okay. [cries]. yeah. [directed towards the child.] which ones do think interest him. [child making noise.] the least. [child making noise.] and why? [child making noise.] [cries]. um. [child crying.] [cries]. he didn't seem that interested in. [some noise toward the end can be heard.] a lot of the stuff animals. [microphone noise.] um. [microphone noise.] [microphone noise].
he doesn't really seem interested in them at home either. [microphone noise.] so I dunno. [microphone noise.] why he not just... [child is crying.] I know! [directed to the child. child is crying.] he just doesn't. um. [cries]. doesn't really capture his interest very much... [child crying.] shh. [child crying.] [crying]. yeah I know. [child crying.] and the food he didn't play with. [child crying.] [crying]. today. and I'm surprised because... [child crying.] shh. [directed at the child.] because we have a lot of. food type toys at home. [child crying.] [cries].
I know you're hungry. [child crying. directed at the child.] okay hold on. [directed at the child.] [cries]. so I would've thought that maybe he'd play with those a little more... [child crying.] okay. [directed at the child. child crying.] shh. [directed at the child. child crying.] you know what? [directed at the child.] [cries]. I know your hungry hold on ha. [directed at the child. child making noise.] okay hold on. [directed at the child. child making noise.] I'll feed you in a minute haha. [directed at the child. clinician might be talking towards the end.] okay. [mom laughing.] hold on. [directed at the child.] so do you think any of the items. um. that Cayden's been interested maybe have changed since. the last time you were here? yeah. last time he was all over um.
the waffles and the pizza. [a little microphone noise and child noise.] um. [microphone noise.] and I thought it was. [bad line. microphone and child noise.] [microphone noise]. I thought because it was similar to what we had at home. [child crying.] um he seemed more willing to explore. more unfamiliar toys this time. [child crying.] [cries]. okay. [directed at the child. child crying.] I know your hungry. [directed at the child. child crying.] what would Cayden probably prefer to look at with you? [mom talking in the background.] sorry? what kind of books do you think Cayden would prefer? [microphone noise and mom talking.] um he likes to look at the kinda where the. [microphone noise.] either. [microphone noise.] the pages. um. flip open like. you know they're folded over.
and then they flip open. or they have little flaps that open. [a little microphone noise.] he really likes the. [a little microphone noise.] open and close ones. [microphone noise.] but he also liked that one with the texture. [microphone noise.] too. [microphone noise.] [babbles]. ow! [directed to the child. child makes a little noise.] [babbles]. oh my goodness your nails are sharp! [directed to the child. child making noise.] [babbles]. does Cayden play with some more toys at home? um. [clinician talking too.] pretty similar yeah. yeah. um we don't have a lot of babies. but he has a sister so. [laughing while talking at the end.] sorta the same idea haha. haha. [clinician laughing too.] yeah.
he does like to uh. get on her and give her kisses like that so. wow good job. [directed ot the child. microphone noise.] [babbles]. yeah your big on pieces. [directed to the child. child makes noise and so does the mirophone. clinician talking at the very end.] books or toys? [microphone noise]. um. [bad line. lots of microphone noise.] [microphone noise] hm. I think toys. but he seems a lot more interested. whoops. [directed at the child.] in um. [microphone noise]. in. [bad line. microphone and crying noise.] in books lately. [child crying and microphone noise.] just the last month or so. I've really seen him. kinda get interested in looking at books. [child crying.] more and all. um. even when he's playing independently now he'll look at books where before he would always play with toys. [not a great line due to microphone noise.]
okay. okay. I mean you said that you do have pretend food at home... [mom says something at the beginning.] yeah. does Cayden play with the pretend food at home? yeah he does he loves it. do you think. he recognizes any of the foods from the last time? that he was here or maybe some of them from home? um. [a little microphone noise.] [microphone noise]. he might. we do have a little juice thing. like the one he was playing with like this one. um. so that one is exactly the same. so that one's really familiar. [clinician says okay. baby crying.] um. we don't have the bread but he does. eat sandwiches. so haha. okay. ha that could be the connection. what 're ya doing putting that on top...? [directed at the child. clinician talking too] Cayden recognizes any of the names? of any of these?
or other items or maybe he's beginning to. [child makes noise in the middle.] I feel that he is. beginning to get um. [cries]. sometimes I'll say. [child cries during the word "sometimes."] do you see the. [a little toy noise in the background.] fishy or something and um. [a little toy or microphone noise.] he might not necessarily go get it but I kinda see his eyes going toward it. okay. so. a few things. yeah more he recognizes people. than things. [a little microphone noise.] yeah. [a little microphone noise. clinician might be talking.] [babbles]. hi [toy noise]. [directed at the child.] ouch that hurts when you pinch. [directed at the child. toys make noise near the end.] [cries]. okay. [directed at the child.] [microphone noise]. are you hungry you wanna eat?
[directed at the child. a little microphone noise.] I'll let you go eat. [directed at the child. a little microphone noise.] haha. ha wanna eat now or go eat in the car? [directed at the child.] okay. [directed at the child.] he's a good boy he just got hungry. haha. yeah. totally understandable. [mom laughing at end of sentence.] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5111CG.cha = = = do you remember what um he primarily played with last time you were here? I think he did more of the stuffed animals. and the baby. he always goes to the baby. do you think he remembers it in particular? um he has one at home. so I don't know if he remembers this particular baby. but he does have a doll at home that he likes to play with so... [vocalizes]. are there other things here that are like what you have at home? um he has some stuffed animals. but he doesn't really pay much attention to 'em. he has books at home um that he likes to look through. and he'll listen to a short story usually. the plates.
[addressed to child.] um did he play as much with the food items before? no. he didn't. I think he spent more time today with the food items than he did previously. do you think there's anything there that he'd recognize? no. probably not because he's not a good eater. so he... no he could kinda match if I shh you know showed him. he did like to hold things that were the same. but I don't think he really knows what they are because he's not a good eater. so mostly looking for things there were pairs. yeah or were similar um in shape I think. or you know like he would pick up the two spoons or... where you going? [addressed to child.] do you think there was anything else among those that made them particularly interesting? um well the bottle 'cause he's useta those. so he did that. um and I think to put the cookie in here. he was trying to get it out. but I think it kinda frustrated him a little bit that he couldn't get it out. Connor. [addressed to child overlap with clinician.] not yours. [addressed to child.] Connor. [addressed to child.] Connor.
[addressed to child.] come here. [addressed to child whispered.] hi. [addressed to child.] come here. [addressed to child.] not yours. [addressed to child.] come here. [addressed to child.] Connor. [addressed to child.] [toys rattling]. [vocalizes]. yeah? [addressed to child.] you coming? [addressed to child.] you want that box huh? [addressed to child.] see the stickers? [addressed to child.] [silence]. yeah. [addressed to child.] um were there particular books um that you also have at home or that you think he'd be familiar with? um no. he doesn't have... he has the foot book at home.
but he doesn't really... he is more interested in books with real um babies in 'em. things like that. or um pictures of real animals he seems to focus on more uh than drawings. okay. and all of those are yeah. yeah. that seems to be what he's doing now. [vocalizes]. cookie. have you noticed a change in the way he plays with toys at home? yeah um it's more purposeful now. you know he's putting things in um taking things out. um he has a stacked ring thing now that um he'll put the rings on. and also more frustration. like if he has um a train that balls go in he'll try to put blocks in it. if they don't go in it makes him angry. um if he can't put stack things on the rings that makes him angry. um so... yeah I think he's more purposeful. he loves balls. and he's starting to um chase after them. and he'll try to throw them a little bit. um so I think it's more purposeful kind of play. he's always been a pretty good player. he um can keep himself occupied for you know a pretty good amount of time with toys and things just on the floor. when you first started playing with the food items I know you pulled out particularly the can... yeah. yeah. he usually likes things to be stacked.
and he does like to play with um like real uh soda cans and things like that or water bottles. he'll go and pull them out and play with them. I don't know if it's the so the water in them he likes to shake and kinda maneuver 'em. that's cheese. [addressed to child.] where you going? [addressed to child.] my goodness. [addressed to child.] come back here. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] look. [addressed to child.] oh you want that huh? [addressed to child.] that's okay? it'll pull out completely actually. you gonna pull it out? [addressed to child.] I wouldn't trust it as sturdy enough to try using to stand on. okay. but it's fine if he tries playing with it. you wanna take those out? [addressed to child.] you gotta pull hard. [addressed to child.]
pull hard. [addressed to child.] you wanna put it back in? [addressed to child.] wanna push it in? [addressed to child.] wanna push it... [addressed to child.] there it goes. [addressed to child.] you got it. [addressed to child.] does he have a lot of toys at home that make noise? yes. yeah. um a lot of things that he can shake. balls and things like that. and also um um like puppies that will talk or make noise. that kinda... electronic? elecontronic type things yeah. a few of those. remotes that you know you can push buttons and they'll make sounds. whoa. [addressed to child.] you gonna move it? [addressed to child.] what you trying to do? [addressed to child.] you want it out of the way?
[addressed to child.] out of the way. [addressed to child.] get another one? [addressed to child.] you're gonna hafta move back. [addressed to child.] I was worrying about that one. I was going xxx. whoops. I thought you were gonna pull so hard you would fall back. [addressed to child.] you taking it out or putting it in? [addressed to child.] yeah. [addressed to child.] whoop. [addressed to child.] boom. [addressed to child.] that's two. [addressed to child.] now there were some things that there were pairs of that you didn't play with. xxx he seemed to not go for example... [whining]. what's the matter? [addressed to child.] you don't want it there? [addressed to child.] he didn't go for the two slices of bread for example.
no he didn't. [talking simultaneously.] do you think there was something about the ones he did go for? they were smaller maybe and easier for him to hold I guess. 'cause it did seem to be like the peas and the... I don't know. whoop. [addressed to child.] where you going? [addressed to child.] huh? I don't know. it didn't or maybe the color. I don't know if they were more colorful. what are you doing? [addressed to child.] what are you doing? [addressed to child.] [silence]. yeah there's another one. [addressed to child.] gonna go get the other one? [addressed to child.] huh? I was gonna say it almost seemed like he was going for the softer? yeah yeah. yeah it may be. these are definitely harder. yeah things he could squeeze a little bit. no not up there.
[addressed to child.] [vocalizes]. no. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] what? [addressed to child.] yeah what do ya want? [addressed to child.] thought you wanted that last bin. [addressed to child.] you don't want the last bin? [addressed to child.] [vocalizes]. okay. [addressed to child.] get the last bin? [addressed to child.] [silence]. where you going? [addressed to child noisy.] xxx the table? [addressed to child noisy.] you can get the bin from this side. [addressed to child.] you're busy. [addressed to child.] no you don't need those. [addressed to child.]
no. [addressed to child.] [vocalizes]. no. [addressed to child.] [vocalizes]. no. [addressed to child.] I know. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] what? [addressed to child whispered.] you say hi? [addressed to child whispered.] hm? [addressed to child.] what's that? [addressed to child whispered.] yeah. [addressed to child.] is that your waffle? [addressed to child.]
boom. [addressed to child.] I think last time he did play a lot with that. he was interested in the holes. the indentations in it for some reason. does he have anything like that at home? no. I assume he doesn't eat real... no he's not a good eater. uh as table foods go he'll eat pieces of bread and cheerios but... not good with things like spaghetti. there's the bread. anything else you particularly noticed either about what he was playing with today or what he seemed interested in or what he does at home? no. what his favorites are? um as far as toys here? yeah. he seemed to spend a lot more time with the foods than he did usually. um you know the bottle and the cup I think 'cause he's useta them at home he um put those you know to him. um going for those pens. you like pens too don't you? [addressed to child.] no. [addressed to child.] that can break. [addressed to child.] that can break. [addressed to child.] that can break. [addressed to child.]
[silence]. there's your baby. [addressed to child.] huh? [addressed to child.] baby. [addressed to child.] give the baby hugs? [addressed to child.] yes. [addressed to child.] that's a bigger baby than your baby isn't it? [addressed to child.] huh? [addressed to child.] he has a baby. [addressed to child whispered.] yeah. hugs for the baby. [addressed to child.] oh [laughs]. headbutt the baby huh? [addressed to child.] [laughs]. baby's ear. [addressed to child.] say hi baby. [addressed to child.] give baby kisses? [addressed to child.]

[addressed to child.] baby's got shoes. [addressed to child.] baby's got shoes. [addressed to child.] [silence]. yeah. [addressed to child.] that baby's got shoes. [addressed to child.] unlike you. [addressed to child.] yes. [laughs]. that's another thing you like to play with though shoes. [addressed to child.] you like shoes don't you? [addressed to child.] [silence].
no you don't have shoes do you? [addressed to child.] [laughs]. you just have feet. [addressed to child.] just your feet. [addressed to child.] [silence]. you wrestling with the baby? [addressed to child.] [silence]. well as you know this is the third and last for a while. okay. the next visit isn't until he turns two. so you've still got a ways until you come back for another one of these. um at that point um it will be basically a series of uh language assessments and um working memory tests and a whole bunch of things. um as well as some social stuff. no no. [addressed to child.] um as well as some assessments of kind of again what kinds of things he's interested in social skills cognitive skills. Connor. [addressed to child.] no no no. [addressed to child.] [vocalizes]. [laughs]. how 'bout going back over this way. [addressed to child.] come this way. [addressed to child.]
what? [addressed to child.] stop. [addressed to child.] keep moving. [addressed to child.] oh shoes. [laughs]. yeah. [addressed to child.] you got a can? [addressed to child.] [silence]. okay. well what do ya think? [addressed to child.] should we go in the room and get you a toy for participating today? [addressed to child.] oh don't worry about 'em. are you sure? yeah 'cause I'll take 'em out to put other stuff in. oh that's where they store everything. yeah you were gonna take it out anyway huh? you gonna take it out anyway? [addressed to child.] hm? that's a big bin huh? [addressed to child.] that's a big bin. [addressed to child.]
wanna put them in? [addressed to child.] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/6337NK.cha = = = alright so what do you think his favorite toy was this time? besides the camera and the cord um. I think the sippycup and the spoon were the two that he seemed to play with the most. why do you think so? I think he's hungry [laughs]. he's ready for lunch. gotcha. he always tries to take the spoon out of my hand and play with it and then and he hasn't had anything to drink in a little bit so he's probably just hungry and thirsty. do you think he recognizes those things? yes. yes definitely. I bet a lot of it he probably doesn't recognize but the sippycup and the spoon and the bottle. I think he definitely does. and he loved the icecream cones last time and this time and so I don't know if he recognizes them or not or if he just likes to chew on 'em. you know what I mean like he likes the shape of 'em or whatever so. yeah. 'cause we don't usually get this kind of cone. but. hm. hm. so yeah he's always always gravitates towards plastic toys he's never been into the stuffed animals he'll play with books at home. mostly to take them off the shelf and throw them but. the stuffed animals he's never interested in. mkay. so you think he recognizes any of the food then besides the xxx? maybe the pizza.
and the cheese. [vocalization] yeah? [CDS] I'm gonna say that's probably I don't know that's probably about it. so what did he like last time you said the icecream... the icecream cones. the icecream cones and the icecream sundae well and and you know what he might recognize those like that's been one of his favorite things lately is when we eat icecream he loves to have some. so. so I think yeah maybe he might recognize the icecream. and that doesn't really look like pasta so I don't know if he'd recognize that. I agree. maybe the bread. we've started givin' him bread lately. so... do you think he recognizes any of the stuffed animals? I don't think so I mean we read books and talk you know I'll point out animals and stuff he doesn't seem to be real engaged. he likes to play with those little farm toys but he doesn't real like he doesn't seem real interested in stuffed animals and so it's hard to tell. he likes when we make noises and stuff but then he's like kinda done with it. right so... yeah. and I think he likes to play with the eyes on the doll. which makes me nervous 'cause my sister's gettin' ready to have a baby [laughs]. and he'll poke the baby in the eye. [laughs]. oh man. that's why I always try to treat dolls like real kids. huh. [CDS] hi.
[CDS] how's that spoon? [CDS] say it better food on it. yeah you are hungry. and he's still teething so he has no teeth yet so he chews on anything he can get in his mouth. [vocalizations]. oh. and I think that's part of the reason he likes to play with the the hard toys compared to the soft toys. 'cause he's never played with soft toys. oh that makes sense. gentle Nathan remember? [CDS] look gentle there you go good job. [CDS] not in the eye though. [CDS] you're a good listener. [CDS] do you um use a lot of words of encouragement when he does something right or... yeah I mean I try to I try to. unfortunately you know most of the time he ends up going for the outlet or the video camera or the cord or the you know so he spends a lot of time doing that so yeah we we try to look out for that and and do as much words of encouragement as we can. does he gravitate towards toys that make noise? he likes them um but that's not like the only he'll play with like. we you know and it's funny 'cause when I think about it I think all of our noise making toys are in one room and like all of his other toys you know what I mean and like not on purpose I think that's just how it worked out but. Nathan no! [CDS] and you're gonna try to cr crawl climb up that aren't you? [CDS] come here come see Mama.
[CDS] [laughs]. I'm gonna get you! [CDS] ooh. good boy [kiss]. [CDS] um he does like he does like toys that make noise but... like there's some toys when we turn 'em off he enjoys them just as much when they're not making noise so he likes to play with a lot of stuff that doesn't make noise too. so it's probably half and half. so do you think he um likes certain certain colors or textures? definitely like hard plastic better than like soft stuff. um. I'm tryin' to think if we've got like wood toys or anything like that. he definitely likes bumpy stuff um if something's got like a you know some kind of pattern texture on it he likes that. um. I'm tryin' to think of what else. Nathan. [CDS] stop. [CDS] yeah I think that that's probably the most of it and he likes he likes chewin' on board books he likes chewin' on paper he loves chewin' on paper. that's always a challenge 'cause he tries to choke on that too. um. but yeah I think mostly just the the harder toys and then if there's like a bumpy some soft of bumpy texture on it he likes that. basically anything that feels good on his gums. is is really wants to but he's started like he has a shape sorter at home. and he loves playin' with that and he started putting shapes into the box and trying to put it through the right holes. um. he never quite gets them the right direction but like he'll put the circle over the circle hole and...
you know and so I think he's starting to get that like different shapes and and stuff like that he's startin' to learn that. and he's figured out he loves um he has a little people barn and like there's certain doors that open and close that make noises and stuff and he loves he's figured out how to move all the things that makes noise and he likes to do that. um. that's really good. then he also likes to just carry the little people around with 'im and chew on them and whatever. yeah and he'll like he'll definitely put stuff in and take stuff out of of buckets and he's got a train that's got like the balls that come out of the top and he'll grab 'em and he'll put 'em back in and... so. he the the the the putting in and taking out has been his latest favorite thing to do. oh I wanted to ask if you remember what his favorite toy was on the first visit. the first visit he was just kinda playin' with all of the food toys. and I think it was like I don't know if it was this one but it was like one of these like I think rectangular kind of things. mhm. maybe like this one 'cause he was probably smaller then. but yeah it was just I think it was one of these little things I don't know. yeah I think it was just one of these... ooh you know actually you know what it was it was I think there was like a can of peas or maybe this. I think this like one of these things. uhoh. oh good. yeah. so he's been consistent with the food. just xxx on [laughs]. and I think now he's startin' to recognize more of it too since he's eating more like real food. yeah. so. alright. he definitely gets excited when we when we pull a cracker out like he recognizes the package of crackers. and he's like [mimics squeal] like I was puttin' it in the diaper bag earlier and I thought he was gonna jump out of his skin and then he's like what you're not givin' me one? [laughs]. uhuh.
so. that's funny. yeah. alright so that's all the questions I have. and then he doesn't come back 'til he's two or somethin' right? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4825GG.cha = = = okay! keep playing. keep licking everything. [vocalizes] the clock. d' you need me to leave this on? yeah. okay. that way I don't hafta write anything down. um so have you noticed any changes since the last time? that you were here in terms of his interest in the toys or...? interest in toys? these toys? ah no he's pretty much was drawn to the exact same things. he has no interest in the stuffed animals. um. [vocalizes] xxx on my lap? Gavin look at all these toys over here! I'd rather play with the person. sure. [vocalizes] okay so he's drawn to the same things you said as last time.
mhm. no interest in these? uhhuh. he starts usually with the books. then he usually winds up on these things. okay so he was somewhat interested in the books? somewhat. I mean he picked up one. and then he threw it away. okay and that was about the same as last time? mhm. okay so you think he really both times preferred the um food and dishes? mhm. and we've started at home now incorporating books into like his play times too. so he can just... like we did like the touch and feel books so... so I thought he might be more interested in them. but he picked up that one and then... I mean he's still interested in things he can stick in his mouth so... so would you say that could be a reason why he likes those other things? I think so. yeah okay. well and there's variety. and there's things to explore in them. mhm. um different textures. um things like that so... some of them make noise? they make noise. they move.
