they resemble things he's familiar with like the bottle. and... right I was gonna ask about that so... I mean he's never had pizza. he's never had spaghetti. and when he eats peas they don't look like this. and his waffles don't really look like this. they're cut up but... so maybe the bottle is the most realistic looking thing? I mean 'cause that he put in his mouth the 'ppropriate way and... okay. and I mean he recognized the spoons. spoons mean food to him so... mhm. particularly this spoon. this one was more like a shaky thing. but this one was more like a spoon to put in his mouth. so he likes doing that. and he did the right thing with it? mhm. okay so you recognize those things. right Gavin? alright. which... what he did different this time compared to last time he did a little bit more copying. which he had never really done before. like I shook that. and then he shook these. um so he's done that a little bit more. interesting.
was there any other kind of copying that he was doing today? I mean for the most part I was f following him. I was letting him lead but... and then that seemed to engage him? yeah. when you did that? I mean that's how I let him play at home. I let him kinda have free reign. I don't really direct his play yet. I mean... so go ahead. like I'll stack blocks or something to get him interested in 'em. but I usually let him... just do what... j do what he wants to do. and at home if you did the same thing that you did here sort of um copy what he does. is he noticing that more? mhm. engaged with that more? mhm absolutely. at home too? like um if I shake a rattle he'll shake one too. or he'll come over and pick one up and shake it. often what he does if I'm shaking something he'll come and take it outta my hand. and do what I was doing. and then I'll pick up another one and do it with him. um. okay so it's a back and forth kinda thing you're doing. mhm. mhm.
Gavin. [ja] yeah. [da] I hear him talking. so would you say the same as last time that these were the toys that interested him the least today? mhm. same as last time? I'm just gonna xxx. sure. 'cause he'll just eat that paper. it should be able to come with you if you wanna move around with it. [static.] [vocalizes] he's a paper loving guy huh? here you wanna book? [to child.] he can play with this now right? yeah. [winding toy up]. whoa! like with that car that he got last time. after he saw me move it back and forth then he would start to move it back and forth too. Gavin look! [to child.] [winding toy up]. oh it's this way. which way does it go? hah here it comes! [to child.]
and... show her how it works! no no wires. so you may have already answered this but... um are there any items that you think his interest has changed around? between the last time and this time? this toys here? mhm. no. no okay. we're not gonna play with the wires thank you. [to child.] we're gonna play over here. okay um and which book of these do you think he would prefer? the one with the touch and feel one. whoa. and did you play with any similar kinds of toys like these at home? just the books but... we still don't do any pretend toys. and he doesn't have xxx? we just use stuffed animals really to distract him like when we're changing his diaper and stuff like that. he doesn't really play with... does he? I guess in his toy box he has like a stuffed cookie monster and an Elmo. that he sometimes plays with. but um it's not a preferred thing. we usually... it's not a preferred thing. and does he play with any dolls at home? just those stuffed animals.
we don't have a doll at home. although I did think about getting one after the last time we were here haha. he seemed interested in the baby this time? mhm. mhm. [vocalizes] he was more interested in it last time I think. now he just wants to lick the face. um and I know we asked you this last time. but I don't remember what you said. d do you think he recognized any of those besides the bottle um and the spoon? oops you found our microphone! no there's nothing else there that... you can move over this way. that he would have had. uhhuh. okay and last question. do you think there were any of these items that he would recognize the names of yet? book or story maybe. okay. but you know a lot of the questions that are in the developmental questionnaires about asking if he recognizes words. it's hard to know 'cause so much of what we do is part of a routine. you know when we go and sit down in the rocking chair that's when we're reading. so he knows we're reading. right. there's one book that he's started to recognize that he actually says something when he sees. he has the book um moo baa lalala. it's the Sandra Boyton book. and when he sees it he goes " Lala. "
so... you know that huh? so he knows that book. yeah! but. um and then are there... so you answered my next question. yeah if there any th any items at home that you think he would recognize that he doesn't have here. so that particular book... by the name of it? yeah by the name of it. it's so hard to know what words he knows 'cause we pair everything with gestures. you know it was so hard to fill out those questionnaires because there's very little that we do without a gesture with it. mhm. you know when we say eat we're always saying eat or walking over to his highchair or showing him food. mhm. when it's time for a baba we say baba and show him the bottle. so you were having to take a guess but... I'm taking a guess on a lot of things. okay well that's fine. [vocalizes] I mean I think he recognizes animal sounds. like moo and woof woof or whatever. okay well that's great. that's all we need. just a general idea of... but I mean his main thing now is just gross motor things. and he's just learned how to climb. and that's really what he wants to do. it'll be interesting to see what he's like when he comes back in two years.
[vocalizes] hopefully he's talking when he's two! [vocalizes] he comes back in two years. or he comes back when he's two? when he's two. so about a year. yeah. so I can go ahead and turn this off. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4273WC.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5118PM.cha = = = okay so let's find out what do you think if anything is different about the kinds of things he liked today versus last time? um I think I remember last time him throwing a lot of stuff. he really didn't want anything at all. he wanted the baby he played the baby and he threw everything else. um this time he's actually picking up more than one thing at a time. and he wasn't doing that before either when we did the play thing as far as I can remember. okay. he's more interested in the other things and not just because he can put 'em in his mouth. yeah. but he's actually like using the spoon the way it's sposta be useta feed the baby and... he's playing differently as well. yeah. definitely. wow. those are big changes. yeah. it's amazing just a couple weeks how it can make such a change. I know.
we don't have any play food at home. I was gonna ask you of these toys do you have um stuffed animals babydolls? no. books? um we have some stuffed animals. we have books. we really only have books like in his bedroom. I have a book downstairs but he never like plays with it downstairs. when he's in his bedroom and we're sitting in his rocker he grabs for his books and wants me to read to him. okay. any of these books um the same as you have at home or similar? um [sighs]. in other words would he recognize any of these? um we have one that's similar to that fuzzy book. um so... and we have The Foot Book but that's one of the ones he closes every time I try to read it to him. he has a couple favorites that he wants to read all the time. okay. do you remember what those are? um Moo Baa La La La. and the other one is a book similar to that but it's like fuzzy animals. those are the one's he likes to read. it seemed like he liked animals. does he know any animals? we... does he know the names of them or sounds? we have um four cats. so he knows cats and he makes the sound. my mom has a lot of dogs so he knows doggy. and we do baby sign with him.
and he does this for the sign for doggy. and sometimes he'll sorta kinda bark. and does he know any like farm animals yet or does he do that stuff yet? no not... I mean I started to show him cows and chickens and sheep um on a computer game that I have but he's kinda slightly interested. I think maybe if they were the real thing he might be more interested. mhm. I wanna eventually take him somewhere where there are animals but I haven't gotten to it yet. we went to the zoo when he was really little but that was more for just a moms outing than a babies outing. uhhuh. yeah these experiences kind of change as they get older. mhm. yep. um well what kinds of toys do you think are best for his personality? well he likes the babydolls a lot. and it seems like he really likes the food toys a lot. mhm. so we might hafta be getting some uh play food pretty soon. mhm. mhm it seemed like he was playing with several items. mhm. do you think he recognizes any of these items? the waffle he... well see we cut it up before we give it to him. so he probably wouldn't necessarily recognize that. same with the bread. we cut it up before we give it to him. mhm. I give him like grilled cheese sandwiches. mhm.
and I give him like cinnamon toast. um the spoon he would recognize. the plate. um. the pizza? no. spaghetti peas any of those? peas maybe. he throws them usually. um he doesn't really prefer... he's really picky with food. I might hafta start trying pizza 'cause he might actually eat pizza. 'cause like he likes a lot of different flavors he doesn't like just plain old chicken. he needs to have chicken with spices and stuff in it. that's unusual. yeah. yeah he's... [vocalizes] [laughs]. does he like toys that make noise still? mhm yep. he likes things that he can shake that makes noise. and what else was I looking at? oh the peekaboo um type of book does he like that? mhm. um at home he does. but a lot of times if it's not the two books that he likes the best he likes to clo... but he likes to close that book too. so but we have one peekaboo book at home. it's like a Sesame Street peekaboo that you lift things up and he seems to be tickled by that.
so he really likes the babydolls you said. yeah uh when we go to play group the little girl has babydolls and he's always going after them. that and electronics. it's just interesting 'cause most of the kids his age don't really go for the babydoll. huh. at all. wow. you're unique. yeah the little girl is over a year she's like thirteen or fourteen months. and she carries around her babydoll and they kind of fight over it. he'll rip it away from her and try to play with it. and I gave him a cabbage patch kid at home. and he plays with that. he definitely knows what it is. mhm. when you say it. yep. and he started kissing him on his own [laughs]. at home. it looked like he was feeding. yeah he was! and I was like wow! that's amazing. [babbles] you are amazing. [IDS.] and he's walking already too. you are? wow. look oh my god he just stood up.
that was the first time he's done that! you stood up! he's never stood up without holding on to something. oh my gosh! 'kay we need a plaque on the wall. that's funny. Parker! [IDS.] he took his first steps in the doctors appointment after he fell from the swing on our front porch. it was the three of us in the swing and the whole swing went [sound effect]. it was a front porch swing. and he fell backwards wound up fracturing the back of his skull. and then the next day for our follow up appointment in the doctors office he walked for the first time. like just like two steps but... there goes the camera. Parker! come to Momma. oh yeah! [above three lines are IDS.] I'm almost done I just needta scan to make sure there's nothing else I missed. and he also likes balls a lot. oh that's another thing because several people have mentioned that and we don't have any but that their children like them. yeah. yeah. he likes... hey Parker. you like ball? look at Mommy. ball? [above five lines are IDS.]
what do you like to do with it? um he'll like toss it or throw it and you give it back to him he does it back to you. mhm. that's cool. um okay you don't have play food at home but you do have his cabbage patch doll. no. yep. and you talked about recognizing... oh which things do you think interested him the least? well he's scared of that still. okay. um he seemed to be a little scared um of this doggy for some reason I don't know if it's that fluff around his neck. um [laughs]. what are you doing buddy buds? [IDS] um the books at this point seem to not interest him as much as all the other toys. mhm. could be 'cause there's so many other choices. mhm. I can't believe you! I can't believe you're so silly! [kisses]. [above three lines are IDS.] alright I think that's all. now I gotta call Daddy and tell him the next step. [IDS.] um he sat up from a laying down position really really early too. he's been ahead of the game on the milestones. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5571FW.cha = = =
okay. do you mind if I ask you a few questions? sure. okay. um did you see any xxx or did you notice anything different from last time? um not so much. I mean I think he kind of... well I think he maybe self-directed himself a little more. in terms of he kind of moved through the toys more on his own I guess. um and you know I tried to let him do that to see what he was interested in. sorry xxx. uh but not a heck of a lot of difference. okay. um the toys that he chose to play with this time... well I think he likes more of those toys. he's sort of somewhat interested in everything. he was less interested I think in the books this time. last time I think I tried to read him a book and this time I didn't. he didn't seem very into it. I mean I sort of did. but he didn't seem into it at all. um he seemed actually kind of interested in this thing for more than before. I'm not really sure why. um and you know he seemed somewhat interested in the animals. but I think those toys are a little more interesting to him in general. do you think he recognized the clock from home? no. I think he wants to teeth on it actually. I think it's the texture. at first I thought he was trying to play peekaboo.
he's been doing that a lot lately. like on the changing table he might pull up his onesie over his head and do peekaboo. [baby vocalizes over end of this utterance.] um but he likes things obviously like that that make a little bit of noise. and he is teething so... um I mean he was last time too. he has a lot of teeth. and so I think he's looking also for a certain texture sometimes. okay. do you think he recognized the word clock? no. how about any of the other toys this time? do you think he recognized any of their names? uh you know I don't think so really. because um yeah like we don't have like a fox at home. um uh I don't know. honestly these are really difficult... book maybe. um doggie maybe. but I'm not sure. 'cause like my other son has a ton of stuffed animals. but none of them look like that. so I don't know if he recog... d' you know what I mean? like if he really recognizes the words. I'm not sure. I feel like he doesn't recognize a lot of words yet. but I think he understands like intonation and meaning more so. like you know when you're like don't touch that kind of thing versus like you know trying to be more like happy about something. [part of this utterance is whispered.]
I think he understands that much more than the words themselves. okay. that makes sense. um any foods um that he might...? well the peas that he eats are a little more pureed than that. so I don't know. I mean and we've started to obviously 'cause he has um you know good swallowing and chewing. I've been trying to do some like mashed peas for him without the skin. um he might recognize them. but I'm not really sure. the waffle he has some wheat free ones that he has occasionally. so he might recognize that. but they're round not square. so I don't know. okay. and how about at home? any changes in the toys that he's been playing with at home? you know not really. the funny thing is actually like I feel like here maybe it's because it's quieter and less distractions but like he sat and played with all the toys. and at home I feel like if you try to get him interested in something he'll wanna go and like play with the dog's toys or go and like you know uh pull up the plants or something like that. like he's much more into doing something else other than like kind of sitting here and playing with the different toys in a way even when you try to do that with him. it's kind of funny. yeah. I don't know. okay. um how about any activities that you played. I know you had um... that we do at home versus here? well yeah or maybe that you did do here. either one.
it doesn't hafta be different than what you did here. well we do similar things at home. like we might play with certain types of toys or um try and read a book or play with like stuffed animals or things like that. so I mean it's somewhat the same. I mean a lot of times like I say I think he's more active at home. like he likes to be walking around holding onto your hands xxx and that type of um uh activity. okay. I think that's um... oh maybe what do you think he was most interested in? um I think those spoons at the end there actually. he was interested in that pitcher for a little bit and the spoons. I think he liked trying to stick them in his mouth. and I think he liked the sound that they made and the fact that there was more than one of 'em. um but yeah I think... and a little bit with the bee like when it bounced. he smiled when I did that a little bit. um so... but I think for himself I think the spoons. [vocalizes]. [imitates child]. do you find you're using um like a lot of sound effects at home when you like use animals and things 'cause that's what he likes sound effects? um I'm not sure if I u uh... I don't know if I u... I mean I guess I do to some extent. you know... [laughs]. it's kinda fun watching him like trying to figure these things out and that kind of stuff. um yeah I mean I think he likes being surprised sometimes. like he loves playing peekaboo. sometimes like you can really get him laughing.
and um he has this clacker toy that it's a musical thing that he thinks it's hysterical. I don't know why. you know like... but that's like one of the few things he responds to like that. so I guess he does like... he likes getting like you know raspberries on his skin and stuff like that. he likes um you know uh being sort of like held up and down kind of thing. so I mean he um uh I think he sort of likes a diversity of activities I guess. hey. [addressed to child.] [vocalizes]. and at one point I could tell he was trying to make a poop. that's okay. uh so you think this time he probably preferred the books least? yeah. I'd say least this time. yeah definitely. [vocalizes]. seems to be liking that pile over there. yeah today he really seemed into it. yeah he's into throwing stuff too so... and I'm not sure if he's doing it for the this part of it or to hear them like as they you know kind of crash together kind of thing. right. alright. thank you very much for coming in. we always appreciate it. yeah. okay no problem. xxx model baby behavior. yeah normally it's like I'm trying to get him to you know stay out of trouble.
he was great. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/6815KG.cha = = = okay I'm gonna ask you some questions now. okay. about the play session you just had. so what was the first thing that she went to? this. big circle clock. she bit on it [laughs]. like that. is it familiar do you have anything like that at home or...? we do but it's not foamy. it's this color and it has the dials but it's not made out of this. it's wood. oh so but she does have a toy um... it's not a toy but she plays with it. oh it's a real one. it's for their play room so it's for kids but it's not soft like this one. [vocalizes] but it's the exact same colors. so I don't know if she likes the texture of it if she likes the colors I'm not sure. when I pretended it was a hat she threw it off so I think she knows it's not a hat [laughs]. we pretended it was a plate and she just really just wanted to bite it. [laughs]. now what did she go to after that? um well I kind of pretended the frog was leaping on her and she was excited about the frog after he was pretending to kiss her neck. she was laughing a little bit. and then she went straight for the food. which is what she did last time when we were here.
she likes the food. specifically the peas. but she didn't find those right away. she played with the plates. so something about circles maybe [laughs]. and she was playing with mostly playing with the plates at first and then I showed her that these were here and then this was all she really wanted to play with. so I don't know if it's color or the tex... I'm not sure what it is about these but she likes these. she wasn't as interested in the baby this time. in fact she didn't really seem to like the baby this time. um she didn't really interact much with her didn't wanna feed her didn't wanna hold her hair like she did before. so last time she played with the baby? she did. for quite a bit of time. and she would feed it and do stuff like that. she wasn't interested today. maybe because I pretended she was my baby. [laughs]. maybe. um does she have like one like that at home? not that big but she does have babydolls. okay. mhm. and she plays with them sometimes. did she play with the clock a lot last time too? I don't think she played with the clock before at all. was it here? I don't she even noticed it before. and the animals. so does she have... you said she really liked the frog.
she liked the frog. um no she doesn't have a frog at home. she has a lot of stuffed animals but I don't think she has one that looks like this. she didn't seem interested in the rest of them. she actually fed one of them. she fed the fox her peas. [laughs]. when I asked her if she'll give him some peas. she fed 'em to her. to the fox. she wasn't interested in the donkey at all. I thought the colors would get her attention but she didn't seem interested. and she played with this little bottle. might remind her of her own bottle. does she do a lot of play at home? mhm. she has a lot of toys little small toys that she plays with in her Pack And Play. and then her and I will crawl around and play with different stuff. she's got tons of toys. she has three siblings that are like not much older than her. oh. so yeah. so are most of the toys that you have at home things like this that are imitations of real things or...? we have play food and we have large playroom in our basement and we have play food down there and she always goes straight to that. I dunno if she thinks it's real or if she just likes the texture. I'm not sure but of course everything's in her mouth at this stage. so I dunno if she thinks it's food or if she just wants to explore. but she really likes the peas. I don't know what it is about those peas. and usually at home she likes toys that make noise.
a lot of music type things. we have a microphone toy that she sings in it she just puts the whole thing almost in her mouth. and she talks in it. really loud into it. it's a microphone so. I think she likes to hear herself. and that keeps her occupied. and then any of the toys that have lots of lights and stuff on it she's excited. Kennedy. what about the um over there. the books. you know I didn't really do anything with the books I think they're behind me I didn't even see them over here. but we do have lots of books at home and lots of thick books that she usually just bites on them. and at story time of course at night we read 'em and she'll have her attention there for a couple seconds but she just [laughs] not really interested in sitting and hearing the whole book yet. do you have of those? these specific books? we have one I think it's this one it might be just really similar. it's got the different things you can touch. and then... no that's it. just similar to this one but we don't have that. I have Doctor Seuss books but not this one in particular. and Goodnight Moon it sounds familiar but I don't think we have it at home. I might have just seen it when I was here. is there anything else you that noticed that was different than the last time or anything she did that surprised you today? um she actually gave the stuffed animals although I only tried a few of them she gave them a little bit more attention this time than she did before. um she's kinda doing the same. she didn't like the doll as much this time. so I don't know why that is. but last time she was trying to put shoes on it and everything.
um and she didn't notice the books either maybe just because of where they are. in relation to where I'm sitting yeah. other than that. she liked the pizza 'cause I think she likes the colors. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5443AO.cha = = = she was here last? about a month. okay. so do you notice any differences overall? on how she's playing or what she's interested in? um she's a lot more interested in containers. in and out. um. she will actually help clean up now on her own. which is really helpful. I don't know if that says something about me [laughs] or... um. but she likes to do that. she likes building toys. um. much more into cause and effect um kinds of things. um. the little popper with the animals. where you push the different things. she can't quite work that part yet. but she knows that when we do it the little things pop up. and she likes to put the faces back down so we'll pop them back up. uh what else do you like Aoife? [addressed to the child.]
she actually realy likes puzzles now. um and very much over the past month has gotten she liked sitting and reading before. but now she will go get books for us to read to her. instead of us sitting down saying okay we are gonna read a story. she'll you know get books out of the little basket and come find us with it. so you said she does have favorites? yeah. okay what kind of books are those? um. there's an abc book that she likes because her dad sings it to her. um. [child screaming in background] thank you. [addressed to the child] um she has a couple books with baby faces that she likes. um the Eric Carle book from head to toe. because we do the actions with it. and she will do some of them to mimic us. um. a couple of like the Sandra Boynton books that we've just been reading forever. so she knows the pictures she knows the story. she'll actually nod you know after you've finished a page like yes you've said it correctly and then turn it. um. but its actually a pretty wide variety of books that she likes. she likes um you know the ones with the real animals that you can touch. um. pretty much everything. um. but she does like the ones especially that we have downstairs. where we hafta you know sing or do an action or...
so interactive types of study? yeah. and she is unbelievably active. [laughs] all the time. yeah she... I don't have much of a comparison but... she does seem active. I mean they all are at this age to some extent. but um she's very curious about the other things going on. mhm yeah. and she always has been interactive with other people. she really likes other babies and really likes people um. you said she's more interested in you than she is in the toys. by far. yes. [addressed to the child.] mom said that right. um so then how about babydolls is she interested in faces like that? [child making noises in background] not particularly. not so much. um she has started to like um... a hug? um she has started to like her sorta stuffed animals more. she will take a teddy bear and hug it. um she'll try to give it her bottle. um but more of the teddy bears than the babydolls. the babydolls she's just kinda... [child babbling in background.] how about little um you said a number of...
does she know any of those names for those kinds of animals? um she knows duck. she knows pig. she knows cat. she knows dog. um I would guess she knows frog. um cause she will actively seek out if there is a frog in a picture. she will actively seek out and make sure she touches the frog. um. I guess she knows bear. so. there's some very unusual ones in here and I wouldn't think that most kids would know some of them. xxx there's the frog but um you found some of the... the donkey and the groundhog yeah. yeah. yeah of course mommy picked the strange ones. [line 118-119 addressed to the child.] mhm. or they they they don't come up as much for you. yeah. that's right. you do know hippopotamus though. [addressed to the child.] [giggles] well the the stories but not the hippopotamus. so she's actually heard that word a number of times. where ya goin'? [addressed to the child.] how about the food items...? is she eating foods like any of these kinds of foods...? um she eats peas.
[laughs] she loves peas. [child starts babbling line 135-137 while exp speaking.] um she eats cheese. [child starts yelling.] she eats bread. um she eats waffles though she didn't go after that all. um she's never had an m and m cookie but she will have animal crackers. um. pretty much all veggies. she doesn't like spaghetti which I think is odd. but she does love berries. which you know the strawberries and the raspberries are bright red. she sees something red I think and immediately thinks it might be a berry. [giggles] got your scarf? [addressed to the child.] uh huh um. keep you warm. it's a beautiful scarf we will put it on your neck. [line 158-159 addressed to the child.] lets see um. she did play with... bring it over. [addressed to the child.] bring it over. [addressed to the child.] food items she did sorta was interested in those today. yeah. mm okay. and again although we asked for some for christmas she didn't get any. so [giggles].
okay. yeah. [addressed to the child.] we've probably asked you in the past if she has. I know you said she has stuffed animals and books. mhm. does she have any of these types of things? nope we don't have any of these kinds of things. although she um a couple of babydolls um although we have started... thank you should mommy put that on? [addressed to the child.] okay no didn't even look huh? [addressed to the child.] um. thank you for bringing that over. they're soft. [lines 19-191 addressed to the child.] um we have started having her eat off of instead of just kind of just putting it on trays plates and bowls. um so she's now more familiar with plates and... she picked em up. xxx has she had I know she was playing with these. has she had any ice cream cones? no. or any ice cream? uhuh. she's had like a piece of like a popsicle but that doesn't look anything like the... [gasp]. [addressed to the child.] it doesn't look no. this is xxx we only really if she had one.
yeah. okay. she's had pizza crust. and. you found your book Aoife good memory. either that or it's by chance but regardless you found it. okay I think I might have covered everything I needta ask you. okay. um. when she comes back for her two year old visit there will be a different set of toys which will be nice. okay. and um. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4731SA.cha = = = what do you think he enjoyed the most today? ah the fake bottles. the little juice cup and the little bottle. do you have that kind of food at home? we do. we've got a little pretend kitchen set. and he and his sister spend a lot of time playing at it. and playing with the food. so some of these things we have at home. ah which ones do you have? we have the icecream cone. we have pasta that looks similar to that. and the peas. um and have one fake bottle. but it's a fake milk bottle. [babbles]
um we don't have big wooden ones like this. I think he liked the weight of them. he liked playing with the peanut butter jar. no he doesn't stack so much yet. he likes to knock things down when I stack them. or especially if his sister stacks them. she likes stacking. he likes knocking down. they make a good pair. um today was actually the first time that I'd seen him take something gently from the top of the stack instead of just knocking the whole thing over. normally he just likes to go kaboom with them. but today he actually picked something up off the top. do you think there are any food items names that he recognizes xxx? [amama] um. [miano] well yeah I mean he probably recognizes peas because we both eat peas and have toy peas at home. um don't really eat peanut butter. um and the kids don't really have much juice. [babbles] but I think he probably just from the playing recognizes it. 'cause his sister does drink juice. he does not. so he may recognize that word as something that he's not normally allowed to have. like no that's Sabrina's juice. um he's also teething. it could just be that he likes gnawing on them because it hits some of the back or you know some of the back gums. hey hey baby. what do you think he liked the least today? the stuffed animals.
every time. he just doesn't care about them. like I I don't know if he's played with them at all when he's been here. and we have stuffed animals at home. and he rarely... unless they have like something jingly inside them. he just doesn't care about them. do you think he knows like any of the animal xxx. um he might. um maybe more regular ones like just dog and cat and stuff. he might recognize some of those. but he just doesn't really like playing with stuffed animals. ah how 'bout the books was that a big success today or...? ah he's generally sort of Luke warm about books. um I'll read to him when I'm nursing him. [babbles] and he'll listen. and sometimes like when I'm burping I'll keep reading to him. um he doesn't really have the patience to sit and listen to the word books at this point in time. he'd rather chew on them. or if he can get his hands on paper books he likes to try and pull the paper because it makes paper... he loves noise. um. [vocalizes] yeah. [vocalizes] yeah. you do. um so his interest in the books here is about his interest in the books at home. um if I'm reading to his sister he likes to be on my lap too.
and we'll all read together. that is not for you. [to child.] he loves wires. loves wires. if you had a pile of wires and electronics remotes you know cameras iphones anything like that that's what he would would play with. ah which books did you read today? um we did put me in the zoo. and what was the other...? oh we looked at the farm one. he does have a touchy um book on um like vehicles. trucks and stuff. that he like to read. that 'll entertain him when he's in the car. um you know he guess he likes the the feeling of them. and put me in the zoo he just picked up and handed to me. we don't have this one at home. we've read it before. but we don't have it at home. yeah. go ahead. I'm sorry. I was just gonna ask. so um just to get the gist of it. what do you think that um everything that he liked today had in common? hard stuff that he could chew on. hard or hardish. he likes the textures. and he likes things that make noise. it's actually it was an idea I got last time when we were here.
there was already the little cookie in here. and he liked rattling it back and forth. and so we spent some time putting you know things... and once I put the first thing in he followed my direction and was putting more stuff in. um but he liked the rattling. um you know rattling this stuff. and I guess the touch of the the books. you keep grabbing the pizza. oh. is that the most typical thing that he... we don't have this at home. but at our play group there's a... it looks exactly like this just bigger. piece of pizza. it's the thing that that they all fight over. there's only one piece. I'm sure that there were more at some point in time. and kids probably walked off with the other pieces. I don't know what is so fascinating about it. but he was playing with the pizza. and every time he picked up some... thank you! would you like it back? you cannot have the wire. [to child.] um so no I don't know what's fas... maybe it's the texture. um but he was playing with it a lot. and um yeah it's a big favorite at play group too. ah how 'bout the baby doll?
we have a couple baby dolls at home. they are his sister's baby dolls. he occasionally expresses interest in them. mainly when she is trying to play with them. he doesn't really look at them when he's on his own. or when she's not around. um so um I was trying to see if he would look at it and be like " oh look it's a baby doll!" " you can play with it and feed it and stuff like that. " are you upside down? [to child.] [vocalizes] he likes being upside down. he'll crawl and put his head on the ground and try and do a somersault. [vocalizes] likes being upside down. into climbing on everything. yeah the daredevil. yeah very physical. does he play with his sister with the the baby doll? it's generally trying to grab the baby doll and chew on her face. or you know I think it's it's plastic. it's it's not real hard. [vocalizes] you know probably felt good against his gums. and it gives the added benefit of ah teasing her 'cause she's trying to play with it. um yeah. that's entertainment most days is them figuring out how to annoy the other one. were there any differences on how he played here today and how he plays at home? um not a lot.
at home we have more um cars and trucks. he likes those a lot. and things with wheels that he can move. and we also have um a lot of little people figures. like the Fisherprice little people. and he likes playing with those. ah but it's yeah trucks and little people he likes a lot. um so you guys don't have them here. xxx you know he might have played with them. but yeah he doesn't have much interest in stuffed animals at home either. and xxx interest in books. [laughs]. and you've got a new friend. careful Stevie. do not pull hair. [to child.] do not pull hair. be gentle. [to child.] you've gotta be gentle. [to child.] you do not know your own strength. good listening. look at you. that's sweet. [to child.] how 'bout across the visits? do you remember...? you said in common the stuffed animals xxx. he's never really played with the stuffed animals.
he's always sort of looked at the books. and has spent most of the time chewing on the food. I mean it's it's pretty much been the same each of our visits here. um and once or twice making a break for the wires. yeah. um yeah but it's it's been pretty common. it's always been the the food that he's played with um the most. but that makes sense for how he plays at home as well. he likes likes playing with that stuff. and um one thing he didn't do today that he normally does at home is um... he's spent a lot of time lately taking two things and banging them against each other. or banging them on the table. like that seems to be his um entertainment of choice recently is the banging. um. [babbles] trying to think. what else do you do at home? [to child or herself.] [babbles] yeah. yeah it's strange because honestly I don't see him play on his own all that often. because he and his sister are always playing together so that kind of changes the dynamic of things. because the two of them are interacting and either avoiding each other. or one of them is trying to take the other's things. either she's trying to take his stuff. or he's trying to take her stuff. and sometimes they trade back and forth and actually play w in the same space nicely. which is awesome! um and really cool to see. um but it's it's just there isn't much time that he doesn't have somebody else around him.
either a play group or with his sister at home that's in the same general space playing with him. so that's I guess a difference of being here versus being at home as well. I was just thinking just having seen him react to you you know well definitely the no. do you think he knows the name book? he might know book. I'm not sure. he does know no. whether or not he chooses to mind me he knows no. you know he's got a handful of words that he definitely definitely knows. and the rest of them it's it's kind of amorphous as to... is it that he's responding to my t like when I said " oh hand me the book." " and let me read it to you. " he handed it to me. but is it because I said book? is it because I said hand it to me? is it because of my tone? or is it because my hand is out like this? and that's what he's holding. um 'cause he likes to share... he'll crawl over to me and hand me something. and I'll take it and be like " oh thank you!" and hand it back to him. and that makes him happy 'cause he's sharing. um I don't know if he knows the word book. he might. are there any um I don't know maybe xxx any foods that xxx. I guess it depends on what foods he's eating for him to have a level of excitement to eat it. um not really 'cause I mean it's we're still having a lot of junky baby food.
we don't don't really get into the whole baby signing thing. um the two signs that I had learned were more and enough. and so when I've been feeding him I've been trying to go " okay do you want more?" " you want more? " at which point his two and a half year old sister pipes up " I want more!" " I want more! " 'm like you already have your words. you don't needta do that. but today for the first time I was feeding him. and I was giving him some bits of hotdog um at lunchtime which was unusual for him. and he kept going like this and going " yyy [ma ma ma ma]." and I tried giving him some Cheerios which he also had. and he kind of threw them of his plate and kept going " yyy [ma ma ma ma]. " and so I was like " do you want this?" and he started shoveling another piece of hotdog into his mouth. so that was the first time that actually worked. it never worked with his sister. so now I think I might hafta learn a few more to teach him. besides more. so I don't think that he knows food names yet. other than you know... either he gets food or he doesn't. mhm. um we'll probably work on on water or milk. ah to try and really see if...
the drinks are ah... sometimes I can't tell if he's thirsty or not. or he'll go and get in a big fight with his sister. and I find out it was because he was after her water bottle. and it's like oh yours was empty. I didn't realize that. other than yeah screams and cries. yes. um but yeah the the bulk of his words are you know... stop. come here. sister. mommy. daddy. we know that he r like " where's your sister?" like he'll look around for Sabrina. you know. but I don't know I just remember with his sister that it was at some point she was crawling around. and I was like " okay it's naptime." " let's go upstairs. " and I didn't gesture in any way. she just crawled to the stairs and started going upstairs. I don't remember how old she was at that point. but it was just like " wow how long had this been building that I was able to say this sentence to her." and she's nowhere near talking. but she understood and followed it. it's cool.
they're cool. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5440JJ.cha = = = so compared to with like past visits 'cause this is your third session right... mhm. like what was different that like the toys she took interest in as opposed to other past ones. she took a little bit more interest in the baby than in the past but. she pretty much just likes the plastic food. [chuckles]. um which items in particular was she pretty interested in? uh definitely the bottle and the sippycup. [chuckles]. does she have like items in her environment at home that are similar to that do you think that's why or... yeah she was drinkin' some juice in a bottle on the way here. um. I noticed like kind of just a little bit from what I've heard like you tend to be like into different like actions or positions emphasize that is there any in particular like like you play at home or... she likes to be upside-down. and she likes to be tickled [chuckles]. [chuckles]. she's very active and so we... we let her be active. that's good. she looks like she was having fun with it. um do anything of these toys like fit her her personality well at this stage or... oh you like that bottle. [CDS] [chuckles]. pretty much anything she can get her mouth on is all that she likes right now. yay! [CDS]
come on stand up! [CDS] no you wanna be upside-down. [CDS] [vocalization] ah you singing? [CDS] singin' us a pretty song? [CDS] uhoh. [CDS] does she have um have any like plastic food at your ha home? or stuffed animals or anything? we've got a couple of stuffed animals but she's never shown any interest. except to chew on them. more a food person. most of the toys that she has at home are hard plastic they're not food but they're hard plastic toys. [she's WWR they're PWR] mhm. similar or anything. did you notice any difference in how she interacted the food like... I know some kids will like bang stuff together and I don't know stuff like that. this was the first time she's re definitely recognized that as a bottle this time. 'cause she always put the nipple in into her mouth. [chuckles]. she still banged it with the other things but. she knew what it was. okay. she's funny. hello.
[CDS] [laughs]. [laughs]. yeah pretty much [chuckles]. [mimics laugh]. [CDS] is that silly? [CDS] so there wasn't really any other food besides like the bottle or the sippycup that she paid much attention to? no. not really. she likes that [chuckles]. that's gotta hurt. that's gotta hurt baby. [CDS] I know there's carpet. [CDS] we've got Progo at home so there's a lot of padding compared to that. [laughing]. you like the keys? [vocalization] yeah? [CDS] mkay. [CDS] [chuckles]. have you noticed her language are into like after doing these sessions like do you think she like remembers anything from them for the next time she comes back or... [babbling] I don't know. she hasn't really...
well she might've remembered the clock. she liked pulling things off of it last time. [chuckles]. yay! [CDS] well I would xxx these things. you wanna be upside-down again. [CDS] okay. [CDS] [vocalization] [laughs]. she's like a diver or something. [chuckles]. [grunts] [! squeals]. you sure are squirmy. [CDS] yeah? [CDS] Kay well I think that's it then. 'kay. you ready to go baby? [CDS] yeah? [CDS] thank you so much for coming. no problem sorry I was late. it's fine xxx. [chuckles].
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/7444IJ.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5196AVI.cha = = = you gonna let me and mommy talk? [laughs]. [squeals]. is it okay if I ask some questions? sure! so what do you think she um liked the most today? she's into food. again [laughs]. [squeals]. she shouldn't be hungry [laughs]. she's had enough food! [babbling] was she into food last time too? she was into some of the food items. [squeals]. a lot of the food items. there was more... uhoh! [babbling] I mean she was into the pizza again. the waffle. [vocalization] the. the cheese she didn't play with the cheese today really. uhoh. [vocalization] um she was holding the peas can. [vocalization]
and... not the peanut butter but I thought it was something else here but. the definitely the peas can. [vocalization] and she was into the biting the spaghetti. oh I think I at least heard... and she was looking at the cookie and the hamburger. um. but she was playing with that and I mean she plays with the bottle and the cup. but it was like food [laughing]. is she familiar do you think with the words? yeah pizza she she's familiar with. I mean her brothers love pizza. and so we make homemade pizza um. mhm. cheese she hears. and we have cheese on the pizza for example. hi! [CDS] hello. [CDS] um her brothers like waffles. [babbling] so that's... [babbling] yes. [CDS] they like waffles don't they? [waffles ] waffles?
waffles. yes. [CDS] the boys... [babbling] you know. yes. [CDS] yes? [CDS] most mornings the boys are like can I have a waffle. a lot of mornings it's no [laughs]. but... [vocalizations] yes. [CDS] hi. [CDS] hi. hi [kissing noises]. yeah. he liked the peas but I think it was more the shape and the color. [grunting]. he doesn't... he doesn't eat things in that format. [laughs]. is that xxx your babydoll? [laughs]. and she likes the spoons and stuff. she goes into the drawers.
hello. [CDS] hello. [CDS] sneaky. [CDS] I'm gonna catch you. [CDS ] you wanna talk to the babydoll? [CDS] baby? [CDS] [vocalization] [vocalizations] oh that's nice. [CDS ] and I noticed uh you call her not Alex but you have like another name or... we have nicknames for her. she goes by Alex... or Ally. [squeals]. or Allyboo. [squeals]. aw. and so she. hi. [CDS] [laughs]. [CDS] or like her dad calls her Girlyboo.
[chuckles]. 'cause her brothers are the Boos. so she's the Girlyboo. [cough]. oh no coughing. [CDS] she's sometimes occasionally called by her middle name. oh! but... [babbling] what is her middle name? Catherine. oh that's nice. and so... she's getting useta a lot of names. yeah. but she answers she knows it's her. she comes running [laughs]. hi. [CDS] she is really testing these out she's a yyy! yyy yyy! [laughing]. uh what about the books. didn't she interested in anything today? [babblng] I mean she looked at the um... [babbling] the one that was. um.
[vocalization] where she... am I sitting on it? um no the On The Farm book. she was interested in that. um. and other than just opening and closing the books not really anything. so yyy yyy yyy yyy. like when she was interested in. she wasn't really interested in the animals today. except for she did pick up the zebra. no! [CDS] has she been in the past interested in the animals on the other visits? the first visit she was into the Pooh and the eagle. [whine]. ah ah ah! [CDS] 'cause I thought it was just red. she really useta really be into red things. and now it's more like food items [chuckles]. she seems to be... like she's picking up the dish and she's picking up the spaghetti. she did that the last time was eating the spaghetti and was playing with that. [chuckles]. the cups and... the different food items. she wasn't interested in the baby the last time at all so this time she sort of looked at the baby. do you have babies at home? no.
she's the baby. okay. there is a babydoll and but and there's a lot of stuffed animals but she nor her brothers have ever really been interested I mean she has like a cow that she sort of walks around with occasionally. [there is a PR] [squeals]. no. [CDS] and tries to nibble on but it's not... none of them have really... [cries]. none of them were into um. [whines]. stuffed animals. particularly I mean. the boys had pacifiers and that was their friend they never really got into them I mean. [squeals]. and Alex with play with some of them but... [squeals]. not really much. [squeals] [! babbling]. hi. [CDS] but now she's playing with 'em. [laughs]. what do you think um attracts her to the food? I thought it was the brightness of the colors originally like last time... sorry not last week. [babbling] last time. anything red she went after so she went after the Spam.
before. and the hat on the donkey or eagle or the thing... [babbling] and then. last time she sorta was attracted to food. [babbling] and I thought well maybe it's food around the house but she was really into the spaghetti. [babbling] I thought okay it's the red thing again. mhm. [vocalization] um or the icecream she was into the last time but this time she's more into... sort of food that she sort of sees or eat 'cause she's had a little bit of spaghetti at home in the last few weeks for the first time. brothers have the pizza. [babbling] we have cabinets with cans in it and she goes into the cabinets now and tries to grab the cans. so I think it may be sort of things that she actually sort of recognizes cookie. [grunts] brothers like cookies. [vocalization] that's interesting. um. do you think when you're talking to her and kind of cheer like uh I don't know saying like propper or social things. do you think she like catches on like. sorry you're welcome things like that. she's starting to like she will nod her head... or um she doesn't say yes or no or anything like that but um. [vocalization] she says hi she says bye. she waves.
[vocalizations]. if you say come here she'll come. um if you'll say you know leave the cat alone then she'll leave Sam alone. oh okay. she... um. you know goofs off with her brothers when we tell her to stop she generally stops. well that's nice. that's very nice. [vocalization] and did you say at home does she enjoy books at home? yeah. yeah. what kind of toys is she playing with home? at home she's playing more with um we have one of those Fisher Price tables. okay. we have two types. one we have the old fashioned type that doesn't sing or do anything like a Leapster and the other one's like the Leapster type. [whines]. so she'll go and the one she plays with more. [whines]. hi. [CDS ] if you push buttons it'll make music there's like a little book and if you flip the book then it'll play one type of tune if you flip it the other way it'll play a different type of tune. [babbling]. oh cool. and so like one of the book pages you flip and it starts doing the A B C song so she sits there and looks like she's trying to dance and trying to sing to it so you get these sounds that sound like A B C out of her. oh that's really cool. um. so she'll do that...
you know she roughhouses with her brothers. [coughs]. ah ah no. [CDS] excuse me Missy. [CDS ] you can't tear up the place. she explores a lot so this is typical like finding her finding the paperclip and stuff that's... excuse me. [whisper] yeah. I mean we constantly hafta keep things out of her mouth. [cries]. [vocalization] hi! [CDS ] [babbling] um you know she has you know blocks and things like that in her um. Pack And Play but she more like cruises around the house and looks for things to grab onto [laughs]. and she has like a soft book that she flips and will drag it around the house with her that's... oh okay. um like a bath toy. [vocalization] mhm. then like... hi yes. [CDS] she has drawers that she can like pull out and play. and so she takes the kitchen stuff out. oh oopoops!
[CDS] so she does that or um. [vocalization] we have a lazy Susan in our kitchen... oops! [CDS ] and it has all the kids' dishes and plates and cups and. [cooing] so she'll go in and pull out all the cups and put them on the floor or like pull down all the plates and. they're all over the house or something like that. [laughing]. we hafta pick 'em up and wash them and put 'em back. be careful. [CDS ] oh so funny. yeah. so it's sort of... I guess there's conventional play like she has like toys. floating around but then she goes through and... ponders. [laughing]. xxx better sense of a word. aw. [gags]. hey no don't do that! [CDS ] don't do that. it's uh funny 'cause one of my girlfriend's daughters got into that phase. like gagging herself and she thought it was so funny. stop.
[CDS ] except for when it actually worked [laughing] and then she was really upset you know? the child you know? oh. she's like oh I didn't like that. [vocalization] no no aw. [CDS] uhoh! [CDS ] that's dirty you made the spoon dirty. [CDS] are you laughing about that? [CDS] [babbling] are you gonna get it out and bring it back? [CDS ] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5923MW.cha = = = you guys did a great job thank you. what did you guys play with first? um I guess the food. um does he have pretend food at home? no. no? okay. [vocalizes]. um what did he pick up that he recognizes or that he may have had before? um well I mean I guess he's seen all of this stuff twice before. but it's been a while.
I dunno each time he's liked to play with the plastic stuff and the food. and again it's in the middle so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. but when I try to get him interested in the other toys he seems more interested in that. um the doll he had the same reaction he had last time. which was to try and give it lots of baby kisses. so... um which foods did he pick up? the pizza and I guess the bread. and the hamburger and the salami. and then he played a lot with the plates and the spoon. which aren't food. but food related. okay. um what did you play with next? what next... um he spent pretty much the whole time playing with the food and the dishes. he stopped to eat the baby doll's face periodically. he wasn't very interested in reading books. right now. [vocalizes]. yeah we did a couple pages. do you play that game at home? yeah he loves peek a boo he plays it in lots of different forms. spontaneously. um yeah I try to play with him with the puppets and stuffed animals a little bit but he was mainly interested in going back and doing this kind of thing. which animals did you play with? um the kangaroo puppet. the deer. I tried to show him the zebra and the chicken and the otter but he didn't really... seem interested.
okay. okay well thank you. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5733LE.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5694MC.cha = = = so which toys do you think she was the most interested in? um the pizza. [laughs]. not sure why. yeah. you found it. didn't you? was it the same as last time? um I don't think so I think she liked the keys more last time. which she still liked this time. that's why you have this. there. um and. why do you think she was most interested in the pizza? um. I don't know. I set it up when we first got in here. I don't know if she saw that or. [grunts]. just likes the texture of it. [grunts]. yeah. okay what do you think she was least interested in here? uh. stuffed animals.
[grunts]. um did you look at any books while you were here? uh just one. she was more interested in playing with the toys though. is that typical for her? no. she usually likes to at least look at the books. but there's so much more stuff to look at. that she's not useta at home. do you have similar toys at home? um. we have food. and books. and stuffed animals. nothing exactly the same. mhm what about the doll? does she have things like that? oh yeah. [laughs]. [laughs]. she loves dolls. I'm sure her older sister has some too. just a few [laughs]. [laughs]. um do you think she would recognize the name of any of the objects we have here? um. books and bottles and maybe some of the food. and obviously the doll. [laughs]. okay and uh.
does she eat any of the foods that we have here? yeah she'll eat pizza and bread and cheese and waffles. cheese doesn't look exactly like ours. [laughs]. alright is there anything else you think we should know about her play? are there things that are different that she does at home that we didn't see here? I don't think so. I mean other than putting everything in her mouth. normally she doesn't have her pacifier in her mouth. so everything goes in. [laughs]. that seems to be pretty typical for kids of this age [laughs]. yep. yep. hi. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/7120CB.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5346GG.cha = = = thanks [chuckles]. say hi. so what would you say were her favorite was? the baby and the icecream cone which actually were the same favorite toys from the last time we were here [laughs]. that's funny. yeah. does she have those toys at home or any others? um we have play food. we have uh wooden play food so it's just different. um. mhm. and we have babydolls but they're in her sister's room so she doesn't usually play.
[laughs]. and it's funny the past three times we've been here she never goes near these toys and her two year old sister has like a whole collection of them and loves them and doesn't let her touch them and even like alone when I try to get her to play with them she's like no. I'm like afraid to go there [chuckles]. so. [laughs] which of these toys does her sister have? she has... I mean she has a lot of toys just you know small ones like that but she has the sea other and... she has a pink poodle it's not exactly the same. mhm. she has a fox like this. and then she has like a different frog but like similar toys. um. I think just in general she tries to steer clear of this [laughs]. [laughs]. yyy yyy for that. [vocalization] yeah. [CDS] which of these foods has she seen before? she's had everything. she eats pretty much whatever we eat for dinner now so. yeah so anything that's there she's eaten. does she like 'em a lot does she like these ones? mhm. she loves peas. she likes icecream [laughs]. yeah [laughs]. you love it. [CDS ] um I don't know if she'd recognize that we usually give her shredded cheese.
or cut up in really tiny that's only the other thing I would say is that usually when she does eat everything's cut up really small so. okay. like the spaghetti wouldn't look like a pile like that for example [laughs]. yeah um. I know she looked at these books. mhm. we have a bunch of other Caring Cats books that she really likes. um and we do a lot of reading with her but we don't have any of these exact books except we have a lot that... the xxx so which of the animals has she seen? she's seen all of the animals in this book. she didn't do it today but she does make several of the animal noises. at home when we read her animals books like she'll do a cow and a sheep. oh. um what else. she'll do a duck. so. she just didn't wanna do it today [laughs]. yyy yyy. yeah. um let's see what about these. does she play with yours? yeah. she does she loves mine. or like my phone. anything that's like not really a toy like she likes all these better than like the knockoff toy version [chuckles]. um yeah so anytime she can get a hold of my keys she likes to play with those. [vocalization] um let's see. she played with those two or is that... I kinda pulled those out and tried to get her to see like would she do it 'cause I was wondering that after the past couple times if she'd play with these kinda toys if her older sister wasn't around and she was kind of like wasn't feelin' it.
either not interested or like conditioned to know not to touch those. [vocalization] and it's not like I don't let her play with them at home but just the second she gets them her sister like rips 'em out of her hand. right [laughs]. no matter what I try to do so. right? [CDS] what about this one does she eat a lot of these? not too many cookies but she does have 'em um. or how 'bout this? she'll eat pizza too yeah. corn? mhm. she eats everything! she does eat everything. [laughs]. yes she does. um well she has ten teeth too she has molars so. wow. um so she probably eats things that other kids her age might not be eating because she has the tooth capacity to do it. mhm. right. you gonna give that baby another big kiss? [CDS] let's see does she have like toy food and everything. yeah. yeah we have like a little play kitchen and then like I said most of our toys are wooden or we have felt food too. that she plays with. huh? [CDS]
where's that baby goin'? [CDS] [laughs]. how about has she been on a farm or to a zoo and seen these? mhm. yeah we gotta the zoo my parents have a farm. with horses and chickens and... bees. pheasants bees. oh [chuckles]. pheasants. um so she gets you know she gets that and we were just at a petting zoo last week down in south Carolina. yyy yyy yyy. [CDS] come on. [CDS] yeah. [CDS ] so... um and we just tend to do a lot of like animal books and when we do shows she watches a lot of animal shows and. right sweetie? [CDS] um do you wanna fill this out now? sure I can... is that okay if she keeps playing okay. sure yeah. okay. here's a. oh there's one there. okay thanks.
= = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5543EF.cha = = = alright. so I'm ask you some questions. okay. so um what do you think she liked the most today? the pizza [laughs]. the play food yeah. oh. she definitely liked that. and the icecream cone. she kinda tried a little bit of everything. she did. yeah. ye. is it um different from last time or the last two times? no I think it's pretty much similar. from what I remember. was uh the pizza her favorite last time or... I don't know if she had a particular last time I can't remember. and she always likes stuffed animals. and she's been playing a lot more with her books at home... so we kinda think it's funny 'cause she just sits there and read but er flips the pages. so do you have any books like that at home? yeah we have all these kinda... that's why I put that up. she was gonna rip that one. all these uh board books kinda... and anything Doctor Seuss. mhm.
yeah we have a lot of books. right Erin? do you have one like that? yeah. we have two like that one and that's why I picked xxx I knew she'd like that she plays... she will go through her bin at home and pull that like there's toys and stuff but she'll pull that book out. because of the... she can feel everything. juice? you didn't see that one huh? [IDS] and everything must go in her mouth. that's xxx. um let me think... does she eat any of those foods? um y she I mean she will have pizza but yeah. I haven't really ventured out much more than... basic foods with her so... does she do you think she recognizes it or no? no I think it was just the right size to go into her mouth and the right you know... plastic chewing... but the um baby bottle she recognized 'cause she right away and tha the juice cup right there which she's play with now but yeah she knew that this was a you know a bottle. yyy! do you have a babydoll at home? she has soft babydolls... not one like this but she has little soft ones. mhm. does she ever try to feed the baby or...? 'cause I know you were trying to do it. no...
no she's never... I'm laughing because she has a walker thing that's a stroller... and we put the babydoll in there but li she prefers to walk the dish towel. so she will grab the dish towel and put it over the [laughs]. so I don't think she knows or she has like a little um stuffed rabbit. that's like a little blank and she'll walk that. but that's what she sleeps with every night so that's her connection. well that makes sense. yeah. so it's either Lovie or the dish towel. that's funny have you started using utensils? shh I mean we feed her with a spoon but she doesn't use anything she uses just her hands. so you don't think she would recognize the spoon? she probably would recognize the spoon yeah. but she wouldn't gravitate towards it. no I don't know if she saw it to be honest with you. I mean I think there's a lot here. no! yyy! yeah. [IDS] see somethin'. I knew you were going. so um what kind of stuffed animals do you have at home? are they similar? um yeah we had a huge Winnie The Pooh that she... well it's huge it's about the size of her that she likes. um like her little stuffed rabbit blanket she loves... and any you know at christmas time I had a ton of little holiday bears and... she'll find them and pull them down and she gives th' like hugs.
[laughs] she loves stuffed animals yeah. and we have those like learning ones those like leapfrog ones... there's one that actually says her name and stuff so she has that she likes that one too. wow! you're silly. [IDS] what are those? [IDS] yep. everything in the mouth. [IDS] um I noticed she was banging things around. yes that's her she'll shh yeah I mean we ha you know she got blocks for christmas and so it's just you know constant [laughs]. [laughs]. right? is that what you do? [IDS] anything to make noise. yeah. [laughs]. like that. [laughs]. um I also noticed that you were saying the colors of things? uhuh. do you do that often are you trying to teach her or... yeah. yeah definitely trying to teach her so... anything we can [laughs]. does she gravitate towards one particular... I don't think so.
is her room in particular... yes. it's obnoxiously pink [laughs]. and lime green and all pastels. oh that's cute. so I'm trying to put a little more purple into her... yeah right so you're not too pink. [IDS.] [laughs]. so do you play games like um pattycake or like... yes. she loves peek a boo. with that same dish towel. she will go and grab it. and uh... and sometimes we'll catch her by herself playing... so we go over and play with her so she that's her favorite. that's cute. yeah. [IDS] that's the babydoll. [IDS.] say hi baby. [IDS] hi baby aw you give the baby a hug? [IDS] [laughs] that's quite a hug. and um what kind of words of encouragement do you use like um... do you clap a lot or do you say like yay... we clap and say go Erin.
yeah we clap or we do like a little dance for her. and so she'll start doing her... yeah right yay Erin! [IDS] that's good. yeah and she knows it. that's... that's good. that baby's kinda heavy for ya huh? [IDS] it is a big baby. [laughs] it's really... I don't know why we have such a big baby in here. I know it's like the size of her! hello baby! [IDS] [laughs]. [laughs]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5244SE.cha = = = oh sure. [toy noise. bad line.] mhm. [moving toys around]. okay. so um. what do you think her favorite thing was to play with today? she's. I tried to get her. she's in this section.
[toy nosie on "section."] this plastic. [toy noise.] fake food. [toy noise on "fake."] haha. [toy noise on and off until line 36.] ha. section. and which food in particular? [moving toys around]. uh I dunno. if it was a particular food. she pretty much likes anything that makes noise. she. generally is banging them together. or. this kind of stuff. I would say. [background noise.] I noticed that too. haha. haha. [vocalization]. baby. [addressed to the child.] [moving toys around]. what's she think about that? [babbles]. that's interesting last time she was really...
[child making noise.] [babbles]. into that. fascinated by it and this time she's kinda. take it or leave it. ha. does she have any at home? [silence]. uh not the hard plastic kind. but the soft. kinds. [toy noise until line 63.] mhm. and she'll lay her in bed and kind of hug it but... [vocalization]. she's got a twin brother that... haha. what a thing doll. [toy noise and mom speaks super fast.] haha. [toy noise.] [silence]. does she? um do anything with the? the dolls at home? besides just hugging them like? she would with like a real child almost? [noise towards the end.] do you know what I mean? [child and toy noise. bad line.]
yeah. [noise until line 87.] not yet. [vocalization]. I think she's starting to get the potential to be interested in doing some of that. she's starting to mimic. a little bit. but. not. yet. [silence]. um: what was her least favorite? [babbles]. toys or area? [noise.] eh probably the stuffed animals. [noise.] [cries]. cause she really engage in books. these. are a little over her head. kind of books. but this kind of stuff she'll really. like she made it through the whole book. [toy noise.] and. [toy noise.] these guys she just kinda... right. does she have a?
touch and feel book yyy? oh yes. mhm. and. does she know any of those animals? like do you think the? not that I can tell. I noticed that you um. made the. the animal noises a lot. mhm. do you do that a lot at home? mhm. do you think she? connects them? you know cow seems to be the one that I. she seems to wanna mimic. the sound I'm making. on cow but the rest of them. she points at them and will even kind of outline them. with her hand and kinda circle thems. so she sees them. I dunno. that she knows specifics. [vocalization]. but. d'. do you um? [silence]. do you mean the word cow?
or the sound? picture. [vocalization]. oh like the yyy? the picture of it in the book. right but she chose to mimic. oh I'm sorry. yeah no that's okay. yeah. um the word cow or what the sound? uh huh no the sound. yes not the words. I haven't seen her do that one time. and so you said like the sounds. mhm. do you think those sounds are easier maybe for him to say? probably. [child making noise until line 163.] [vocalization]. one syllable. haha. then repeat. mhm. [babbles]. [silence]. what else. your cuttering yourself. [addressed to the child.] [moving toys around]. now the food.
that you said she likes a lot. does she have? toy food at home? no. uhuh. that's one thing we. we useta have it. for my son. and then. got rid of it after my son and then. had a couple more. hah' so we just haven't. that's one thing we haven't replaced yet. [silence]. [vocalization]. [silence]. now. do you feed her like um? [child making noise.] sandwiches at home yet? [child making noise. bad line.] so do you think she would relate? [child making noise. bad line.] no. mm uh cause its just recent. [child making noise.] just recent. so. no. she does.
she is my little observer. and she'll sit there and watch as I make anything. so I do. tell her about it so I dunno what she retains. at all but. [silence]. and how 'bout desserts does she? do you know that? not once haha. has ever had any' think. do you think she sees her older brother do you think? no? uhuh. she doesn't really care. from meat to cracker to. cheerio to anything. she'll eat whatever right now. hah'. [babbles]. and. is she. [child making noise.] usually utensils? ah she's just starting to get interested in. trying with the spoon with the fork. hand me a little. plastic fork she's not. you know great but. yeah she's showing interest in doing that. to hold it and try.
[silence]. and. do you use a lot of words of encouragement? at home? [moving toys around]. yes. cause I noticed you saying some here. yeah. haha. definite. definitely. can you give some examples? well I. tell her when she's doing something right. [child making noise.] um. like if I say Sela can you do this? and she does what I say I'm. good job and then uh. a little personal. she's excited about something that she did. [noise before mom speaks.] you know. acknowledge just anything really that. [says "anythink" not anything.] is positive for her. and want her to know. that's great. [silence]. and what did she play with last time?
what was her same? [child makes noise on "same."] the same. exact e um. [clinician mumbles.] she really. [child making noise.] was into the books last time too but this doll seemed to dominate. [child makes noise in the beginning half.] everything. [says "everythink" not everything.] last time for some reason. [vocalization]. so no stuffed animals any of the last few times. hunhunh. not at home either. yeah. [babbles]. she's just not it really. other than her little doll in her bed but... and we have them. everywhere. do you think she prefers the books over? toys or at home? toys over books? [silence]. that's really hard to say. cause she's really content in whatever. is being done at the moment. so she'll.
stay and do whatever she's doing for a while. [child making noise.] and then can move and stay. so I can't really say that I. I see a preference. I think probably the toys. just cause it's more practical for her to on her own. I hafta be engaged in the books. you know so. I guess in that regard. [moving toys around]. and do you have any of those? and you don't have any of the books except something like a touch and feel yyy? oh no I have the other ones. oh you do! [child making noise. bad line.] uh huh oh yes yeah. [bad line. child noise.] well I have but. she's more interested in. chewing on the book and moving it around. than actually engaging. in it. [moving toys around]. alright I think we're done. alright good! [child making noise.] haha. I think she's about done. and her initials are?
s. what's her last name? e. e s. I just didn't have the sheet with me. so I I didn't know what her initials were. yyy oh sure. her initials are s e. I believe she's participant five two four four. but I'm not positive. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5859ME.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5903AE.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/6626SW.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4802JP.cha = = = perfect and now I'll just ask you. I'm sure that you um. answered these same questions and some of them might be the same and some of them are probably different since he's so. um active now he might not have been the last time. yeah definitely not like. [experimenter talks over mother in pervious line.] which of the toys seemed to interest jack the most this time? and which is a good toy for...? um cause he he does like other kids and stuff so. um I mean he doesn't sit and play with it but like you know like pretend its but he likes to look at it that caught his attention. and then all this stuff like um... he's not into stuffed animals even at home. I think the objects things that look like stuff at home like the sippy cup he picked up and. he knew what it was. you know like to drink from it and um.
I think they're just easier to pick up really. I think the the animals stuffed animals even at home he just doesn't really... he likes hard objects I don't know what that means but... right. and. which of the toys seem to interest Jack the least? um the books. an I think its because at home the books are only for um sleep time. maybe we should have them out all day but we don't. it's so funny because in some of the studies we play this classical music xxx one of the moms said that's the song we play when we want I'm to. [microphone noises and mom talking over experimenter in previous line] go to sleep so he thought he was gonna go to sleep. aw:. [laughing]. we needta get this cord outa here. [mother and experimenter talk to child until line] you just wanna eat it up. you just had lunch why are [laughing]. isn't food. like you're hungry. food [rustling] mommy has food. hey here. um do you think that your child's interest has changed in any of the items since you were last here? no I think it kind of all stayed the same I mean last time he wasn't really interested in the books. and [toy drops] and the stuffed animals he went for all of things he could pick and hold and look at and feel an'... um. that's yeah and the baby and the baby. so no I don't I don't think it's really changed. okay. and...
if you hadta pick a book even if it was at bedtime which book do you think that Jack would prefer to read or look at? um the one that you could feel the little duck on the farm the Touch And Feel I guess. mkay. you know what we don't have like fake food or stuffed animals he's got... um just things that make noise toys and cars 'n'... boy's stuff. boy's stuff you know what I noticed this was all very girl like I mean not that its just its even more geared to girls like food they play with f you know babies and stuffed animals. there is no like ca like stuff that he can push and that rolls. cause that's the kinda stuff that we have at home. okay. maybe that's why he can't sit still. right. so do you think he prefers books or toys? um. w. which one? oh toys. yeah. does Jack play with any dolls at home? no we don't have any dolls. oh no well we have a Spiderman doll and yes. he does play with that. okay. yeah. and you don't really play with pretend food or do you feed the doll do you feed the Spiderman? you know what no but I think I'm gonna start tryin' 'o do that to see if he gets it you know. and do you think that Jack recognized any of the foods from last time you were here or from home? um. I think like the juice. the sippy cup.
and. I'd like to say he recognized the cheese cause it is ki you know. it's the square kinda orange um. and maybe that's about it I don't know if... [vocalizes]. that's probably the mo. [experimenter talks to child in previous line.] Jack. [laughing]. xxx um s do you think yo that Jack recognizes the names of any of these items or is beginning to? um. I think cheese. cause he eats a lot of that. mhm. drink. I don't know if he knows baby. I think he might cause. xxx we have a friends and I say oh look at the baby but he hasn't said it. [vocalizes] okay. that's about it yeah. well that's it. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/6043AM.cha = = = I have a few questions to ask you. okay. Amelia. come here. come on. here we go.
that's a pretty dress. oh thank you. what a pretty girl. [laughs]. yes. you're so xxx. can I sit down? [above 12 lines are IDS.] so what did you all play with? come here sweetie. [IDS.] I think she loves the food and baby this time again. she loves that babydoll. so this time she was like really really really into the baby though. okay. like she likes the baby. and the play food she loves play food. she loves food in general so I think... [laughs]. I think she just is not a fussy eater. so I think that's why she enjoys that. so. do you have play food at home? we do now. yes. because of here. 'cause I realized how much she enjoyed it while we were here so I've bought some. oh great. so now she plays with it all the time yeah. yeah.
[IDS.] she likes the keys. she likes things that rattle um. mhm. she likes music a lot. like to dance and clap and all. so that kind of stuff goes hand and hand with it. any little instrument we have she plays with a lot. um what foods did you play with? she liked the pizza. mhm. yeah. [IDS.] and she liked the icecream. okay. and she liked the baby bottle. mhm. oh she played with the peas. and she likes the spaghetti too. because it's so bright. okay xxx. but. what other items? um [mic noise]. she liked the books. she really likes these Karen Katz books right here. these. she doesn't have this one at home but she has a lot of them at home. I mean she's pretty interested in the animal book. not as much as she usually is but she was interested in that one so.
um do you play the game in the Karen Katz book? oh we do play peekaboo. yeah. yeah she enjoys peekaboo a lot. um what animals um were in the On the Farm book that she's seen before? um oh she's seen all of these. yeah horses sheep dogs. we have a lot of these at home not this one specifically but a lot of farm animals and animal books so. she's seen them all. what other books did you all read? um today just this one. I started to read The Foot Book she wasn't interested in it. okay. um but that's it today. um at the end you started to play with stuffed animals. which ones did you play with. this bee. mhm. this is the one that she loves. uhhuh. the hair I guess. but I dunno the colors. she really likes the bee. um she went to the chihuahua again. this one she went to before. our neighbor has one I don't know if that's why or just 'cause it's pink. she had no interest in the puppet. she's not a big stuffed animal person. yeah. baby girl.
[above two lines are IDS.] she's okay. um even at home she gravitates more towards things that make noise and that she can manipulate a little bit more than stuffed animals. she's not too interested in them. um does she recognize what the puppet is or has she seen that animal before? a kangaroo? mhm. uh I think there's only like one book we have at home that has a kangaroo in it. so I don't think she's really familiar with a kangaroo. okay. what other names did you call this? Chico. 'cause our neighbor's dog is Chico. and we always see Chico. like every day we're out talking to Chico. and um we don't play with Chico 'cause he bites but [laughs]. but they know who Chico is. alright. um there were two other food items you didn't mention. um this one. oh the waffle? that's 'cause her brother loves waffles. aw. we have a play waffle at home and loves playing with that. like he's put it in the microwave he's done things he shouldn't with the waffle like he's always has the waffle with him. uhhuh. and so he likes that one. and the peas she did play wi... did I mention the peas? yeah you did.
yeah. um you didn't mention... oh the cookie. yeah. she doesn't eat cookies yet or anything but maybe she sees her brother. mhm. but she like... or maybe it's the colors on it. but she did like the cookie yeah. okay. and you didn't mention these. oh the plates. has she started um... she doesn't really use plates yet because she throws them on the floor. aw. but she does see her brother. um she observes her brother like typical second sibling so she probably sees him use plates. but I think I was putting food on the plate for her. she wasn't doing it by herself. okay. here so. you like the cookie. yeah. [above two lines are IDS.] alrighty well you guys did a great job. okay. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/5563DB.cha = = = okay. hi having fun?
yes. yes. okay so I just have a few questions for you. um so this time which of the toys did he seem the most interested in? as usual the food. the food? yes. any in particular? um he really likes spoons of couse. you know what things fit in and out. so he really likes smaller things that he can put in to bigger things. okay. but mainly if it makes noise it makes him happy. okay. what about last time? was it pretty much the same stuff. the same yeah. first and second visit? mhm. okay. um. you showing her the spoons? you giving her spoons? very nice of you to share! thank you! can you give them up? no yeah? you're not ready to give them up yet? almost! oh!
um which of the toys does he seem the least interested in? um the doll. as usual. even at home he doesn't play with any of the dolls. okay. do you? d' you think he recognizes the words of any of these...? not yet. ah we've tried but he's never consistently done anything xxx accident. yes. ah what about the animals? you don't think he's familiar...? hm. no? no yeah. xxx his dad has some animals? he has the little otter. okay. daddy has this doesn't he? the otter. what about the other ones? ah I mean we have other variations of animals but. nothing... let's see. we have some zoo stuff. so we have the fox. we have dogs. and of course we have bears. and zebra. and the frog.
we have a frog don't we? uhoh. uhoh? we have a big frog don't we? um what about books? is he interested at all? we love books. but we usually read those before nap and bedtime. and so he is just in the last couple of weeks gotten ah more attached to the Touch And Feel books. and then of course the ones if there's a hole in the front of the book. he loves 'em. so The Hungry Caterpillar's our favorite right now 'cause they have holes in it. okay. d' d' you own any of these books? see we have the foot book. and we have the bigger version of Put Me In The Zoo. and we have the bigger one of Good Night Moon. okay. d' you ever play with pretend food at home? yes. okay d' you have any of these items? um some of the stuff exactly the same like the icecream. and plates. but ah other things just similar. we have bread pizza. don't we? and of course you have dolly cups and bottles. but we don't have anything like this do we? no we do not. let's see what else do we have?
I think that's pretty much all we have for you today. yes! [wrapping up] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/11/4743NA.cha = = = I'm just gonna ask you a few questions. okay. are you listening? [addressed to child.] I'm not gonna write anything down 'cause it's just gonna be recorded. okay. so which of the toys seemed to interest him the most? um the spoons. and the pizza. and the keys. what else Nicholas? [addressed to child.] um the most would be yeah these little plastic... achoo! [addressed to child.] achoo! [addressed to child.] bless you! achoo! [addressed to child.] which is a good toy for his personality? um the spoons and the keys. because they make noise? yeah because they make noise. he likes to make noise.
and he likes to shake. right? [addressed to child.] shake shake shake. [addressed to child.] okay. and you already said why you think it interested him. mhm. which of the toys seemed to interest him the least? um the doll didn't interest him at all. um the books so so. and I guess the stuffed animals too except for a couple of them. yup. why do you think that is? are you smiling? [addressed to child.] saying hi? [addressed to child.] um 'cause the stuffed animals don't make noise when you shake 'em. um I don't know with the baby. I don't know. I guess maybe because it wasn't a small hand held toy that he could tap and rattle. I think that's why. do you think there are any items that his interests in have changed since the last time you were here? do you remember what he played with last time? yeah last time he played with the pizza. he chewed on the pizza. um no the interest was about the same. m mostly interested in the plastic toys. which book do you think he would prefer to read or look at with you?
um probably the baby one the peekaboo baby. um yeah the other ones are... yeah the peekaboo one. okay. do you think it's because that one's like more interactive? yeah it's interactive. it has baby faces. um yeah these have smaller pictures and... um I think it's may a little older. does he play with any similar toys at home? yes. he plays with um... yeah he does. I don't know if you want me to say what kind of toys or... um he's got jingle bells that he rings. little maracas. um yes. what else? um what else do you play with at home? [addressed to child.] Nicholas. [addressed to child.] he... I'm sorry. what was the question again? if he has any similar toys. yeah the similar ones... yeah he has like little hand held toys that make noise like this. do you think he prefers books or toys in general? toys.
mhm mhm. does he ever play with any dolls at home? um not as much as he useta no. occasionally. we have some at home 'cause he has an older sister. um he plays with like the little people. I don't know if you consider those really a doll... but like the the doll babies not as much anymore. okay. mhm. do you ever play with pretend food or pretend to feed any dolls at home? um yes we have pretend food. he plays with those. but he doesn't pretend to eat 'em. he chews on them. or he likes to throw them and bounce them. where are you going? [addressed to child.] psst. [addressed to child.] um do we pretend to feed? no. okay. do you think he recognized any of the foods from last time or at home? from last time? I think he remembered the pizza. that was the first thing he picked up this time and last time. okay. at this point do you think he recognizes the names of any of the items or is beginning to? you mean these that are here?

[CDS] think we can go ahead and ask you some questions. xxx can just play. okay. okay. did you notice anything different about what he liked today? compared to last time. yeah he liked the books even less. xxx he's really loving the play food each time we come in. okay. I don't know if it's a novelty thing or if it's a... he's at that age where he's discovering foods and he recognizes them. yeah I was curious about that um are any of these things um. foods or items that he might recognize from home or from... you know what? we don't really eat cookies and... like this might look like yogurt he does yogurt. but he... but he definitely doesn't eat meat and we very rarely eat hamburgers like. I think he recognizes it as food though like when I bring out new foods at home. [vocalizations] he automatically knows that it's food. [vocalizations] even when it's not offered to him. and so he would know yogurt but he wouldn't know icecream. yeah. he's never had that before. unhunh [no]. and he's seen us eat icecream before though. and so none of these other things either.
[grunts]. or did you see some? yeah. he like he looked... I didn't offer him anything I offered him like the peas and he was not that interested. okay. he's more interested in the hamburger like he grabbed it and tried to eat it versus you know like this which he looked at and then just set it down. he didn't I don't know. uhuh. so I don't know if it's a texture thing it feels like food. mhm. tried to drink the juice. are you being shy? you being shy? so those are the main items that he looked at was um the ones you already mentioned? this one's for Mommy. [CDS] yeah the cookie is the main one. the main one okay. each time it's been the cookie... oops oops oops oops oops xxx this one's for Mommy. [CDS] is there any reason do you think he likes that one in particular? no idea. uh it could be because of because it's something he can hold in his hand. this. [CDS] [vocalization] uhuh. you think it's the right size?
yeah. [vocalization] I think it's partially that it's kind of colorful. yeah. it's colorful. did you do any In And Out games? like um some kids will drop things into the pitcher. into the pitcher no not yet. is he making noise with somethin'? I can't remember if he was. with the book he started talking with the book. I'm trying to think with the foods he's talking to the pitcher also. yeah. he really likes the pitcher he played with the pitcher every time we've come in too. somethin' he was rattling. oh the um spoons. yeah the measuring spoons where are they? oh okay. oh they're there. okay. he still has 'em. he liked those. so he likes things that he can shake like that. yeah. oh I see. and then he did pay attention to some of the books right? yes. right. and first thing he did he kind of took inventory. and then he stopped and looked at the books.
like he was thinking about it and then he's like no I'm gonna go for the food. and he kept stopping and looking at the books and he's like no there's not enough time. I gotta get to the food [chuckles] what are you doin'? [CDS] what are you doin'? [CDS] are you just loungin'? silly. yeah are you bein' silly? [CDS] so does he like books? um. yes. yeah 'cause his brother does. yeah his favorite books are... like anything we have with um. that are like really short but still have kind of... some sort of plot like if it's just picture picture picture he's not as interested in it. uhuh. [vocalization] or even if it's nonsensical that has photography with babies. like... oh interesting. very interested in other little kids.
