yeah. he likes to watch me cook. do you need something to go under? [addressed to the child and bad lines until line 241.] here. [vocalization]. yeah. [toy noise.] [moving toys around] here try this one. [moving toys around]. mm like it. you don't like it. [background noise.] okay well you don't hafta go under anything bud. um. but I'll put a real pot on the floor. or a real frying pan and give him a real spoon and just like him. do that when I'm cooking... so he knows mixing...? yeah. and stirring and... yes. he does know that. cause yeah it seemed like. a routine he knew. yes. and I noticed he found our junk food. heehee you know what yes. exactly. [clinician is coughing.]
and I try to limit. I mean we eat a fairly good diet in our house but. like I said I think a cookie is pretty memorable once you've had one. you remember the cookies. yeah. [sniffles]. so. you know you rock the line between... and it's one per school. yeah. well he'll... [clinician also talking.] yeah. he seemed interested in the tools at least the beginning. he absolutely loves toy tools. he loves. eh you know it's definitely something. [moving toys around]. imprinted on the d n a. because all those boyish things. the trucks. the tools. he's. you know. was. the trains he completely love'... oh there it is. [addressed to the child.] Wes she found the rest of the screwdriver! [addressed to the child.]
he really loves. he really loves those things. [some toy noice.] [moving toys around]. here. [addressed to the child. toy noise.] [moving toys around]. oh! [addressed to the child.] you made a poop? [addressed to the child.] [moving toys around]. um is there anything that he really loves to play that we didn't have today? you know he loves toy cars and trucks. that's probably his favorite thing right now. just like a he's got a dumptruck this big at home. normally a. and he fills up the bed with. anything like we have little pompoms in the house right now. from a craft project. and he will. he'll spend a half hour. just filling it with pompoms. dumping it out. driving it around. filling it up dumping it out. he loves. small things that he can. carry around with his fingers. and put places and he also likes to.
I was surprised he didn't do it cause he loves to make choo choos. like he'll take. a bunch of his little matchbox cars and line them up and say choo choo. push his choo choo and... um he. I would say vehicles are a. favorite thing of his right now. I think um languages wise... mhm. you get a lot of room and... so we have. we notably don't have a lot of vehicles. yeah. because you don't always get as much language... yeah. in that kind of play. yeah. that um [moving toys around]. I need yyy. but a a lot of people have missed them. oh where did it go? [addressed to the child until line 351.] it's in your hand you've got the screwdriver. [mom is laughing.] ha your like your mommy. [moving toys around]. there you go you got it! is there anything he really wasn't interested in? well I guess the dolls didn't get much of a... [slight toy noise.]
he likes his sister's barbies. they're small they... you know. he'll grab one and carry it around with a death grip and. it's pretty cute. [slight microphone noise.] he likes the barbies at home. and you know he'll look at a babydoll now and again. I mean I remember. my daughter at this age at two was just. enthralled with baby dolls and. [toy noise.] pushing them and feeding them and all that and that's not. [toy noise.] a great interest for him. [clinician mght be talking at the very end.] watch your head please. he also quite liked our little family. yes he did. that was just warm up. mhm. actually yeah I. yeah. didn't expect him to get ha. yeah. [toy noise after she speaks.] yeah. but he really likes. mhm. [toy noise. not a great line.]
um. yeah and I think those are more barbie like. [toy noise.] you know like the little small things. and again he just. he loves the little things he can clutch in his hands and grab and carry around on his very own. [toy noise on "grab."] oh you're fixing it. [addressed to the child until line 399.] thank you. it isn't very sturdy. it could use some fixing. ha' heehee. he has a real ear. doesn't he for sounds? he does his replication of the sounds. I think. obviously is still coming along. but when he's in the mood. I mean it's funny cause when he first started saying anything at all. [clinician coughs during hte middle.] Lauren got a real kick out of sitting at the dinner table or the lunch table. and just being. you know Wes say spoon. spoon and. [mom mimics child's speech for "spoon."] a I mean. he will do a lot that she does. he'll do a lot for her. he really kind of looks up to her.
and so that was sort of a game that they did for a while. [sniffles]. and. um. you know I try as much as I can in everyday life just to talk. clearly with him and speak with him. and uh. you know I don't make it to monotonous in terms of repeating. the bluh. but I'll always try to label things. I also meant that everything that he picked up. he discovered [moving toys around]. [toy noise.] oh that kind of sound yes. [toy noise.] what qualities he had. mhm. yes. he does like to do that. he was. he was really. y. [toy noise.] mhm. [toy noise.] you know interested. I got him a really nice drum for his second birthday actually. [toy noise.] like a really nice floor drum and. yeah.
cause he likes that kind of thing. that sounds like a really. [toy noise.] appropriate present for him because I thought he. mhm. yeah. you know pays attention what kinds of different sounds he can make. yeah mhm mhm. he likes actually. that's another thing he likes the toy musical instruments at home. he likes the maracas and. he got a really cool toy for his second birthday called a Saxoflute. which you can build out. of flute it's a really cool thing it's. oh! sixteen different tubular pieces that depending on how you configure them make different sounds and a couple of them have holes so you can actually... oh wow. play it a little bit. it's a really great toy. [toy noise.] I actually think it's pretty fun so... [background noise.] my son does that with his trumpet. [background noise.] when he's twelve. also it involves things he puts in there haha. yeah yeah yeah. it's a good thing. [microphone noise]. but that is fun to see I wonder um...
[vocalization]. uhoh! [addressed to the child.] [moving toys around]. you know what I didn't. go to look so I'm just gonna ask you. if he were turning pages in a book...? mhm. is he meticulous about one at a time or does he miss...? he's not very meticulous. he'll still turn it hold it upside down and look at it. [sniffles]. you know he's just... so he's more of a multiple... yeah. turner. I would say he's more. I mean we'll. I'll say this when he's interested in reading. like when I kept he in those moments and he's interested in reading. he will be very particular about wanting to see each page. [child makes noise in the middle.] and he'll. you know especially with the board books they're so thick and sometimes he'll feel like there should be another page but it's just one page. yeah yeah. [toy noise.] [deep breath]. but. if he were to. [toy noise.]
just kind of have that in his hand to look at. [noise on hand.] he wouldn't be very particular about that. hi Bunzers. [directly at the child.] well that makes sense. [microphone noise]. it's hard to fix things. [possibly addressed to the child.] [moving toys around]. well then. that's all she wrote for today... okay. I have. [moving toys around]. a few more. permission slips. and then he can pick out a toy I think I have some um. t r u c k-s. oh okay. [microphone noise]. and then really all I wanna see him do um. [beginning of the line is bad due to microphone noise.] [silence]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5118PM.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5571FW.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/6815KG.cha = = = um Allison if you just wanna play with Kennedy a little bit I'm just gonna do a quick interview with you. okay.
um. like away from...? um right here is fine. oh okay. I know the moose. [IDS. ] so do you just wanna tell me what she started playing with today? um when we first sat down I think she kinda went towards... here. okay play with Allison. give her some icecream. she loves icecream I bet. [above three lines are IDS.] she started playing with the um animals. and trying to identify some of them when I asked her. does she know a lot of them or...? she knew some. she started at these in the store for a long time. okay. and then she thought this was a horse. um. she thought something was a dog that was a bird. oh. okay Mommy can't eat all this corn I'm just so full. I'm so full you hafta share with other people. that's a rolling pin. [above three lines are IDS.] and then so she kinda lost interest in that and went to this cooking thing. and we have these at home so. oh you do?
yeah. the food and everything. so I think maybe familiarity she just gravitated to it. yeah. but she didn't wanna really go away from that. I tried to draw her interest in the dolls. [laughs]. and she beat it with a spoon. she didn't have any interest today. sometimes she likes that but today she just didn't show a lot of interest in it. um but she was interested in making her soup. yeah. so that's what she's been doing. and feeding us icecream. right. um and so with the animals you said she knew some of them? she knew some of them. let me see what she knew. she only looked at these two. I'm trying to remember what she called a dog. oh I think she might have called this a dog. right. and I could tell she had never seen this so she was staring at it for a long time. yeah. um she didn't have much interest in this. yeah. she knew that was a bird. mhm. and she called something a duck that wasn't a duck. oh.
she does know them though. just you know maybe they look weird 'cause they're little small plastic toys but she does know a lot of her animals. 'cause she watches a lot of those things on tv at home. oh does she? mhm. does she have any favorite animals? um dog. it's a good one. mhm. she likes dogs. um then I showed her this apart. she likes to put things together. I know like maybe not so much here but at home that's always what she's doing. yeah. so I put this together and she knew right away what to do with it so. yeah she like turned this over and started screwing. mhm. [laughs]. so clever. mhm. um so with the food does she have similar foods at home? mhm. yeah? yeah we have a lot of these same things. are there any of her favorites that she really goes towards. I don't know if she knew what this was but she seemed interested in it maybe 'cause it's hairy looking I dunno. but that's really the one she played with that and the icecream cones. oh really? so I mean we do have the icecream cones and pizza and she didn't really do much with that. mhm.
I break it. you didn't break it. [IDS.] um any of the foods were they unfamiliar to her would she may not seen any of them before? yeah I dunno if she knew what that was mayb. I dunno. doesn't really look like cake but. looks like a yummy cupcake huh? and a glob peanut butter I think? yeah she was staring like that like what and I was too so I don't know what that is. maybe oatmeal. it's tuna fish. [ugh]. I know. every single parent sees it and its like is it throw up? you know that's what they think it is. [laughs]. on the bottom it says that it's tuna fish that's the only way I found out. oh that's funny. yeah. oh that's funny. it's gross. um any other foods that she saw that...? she didn't ask me what anything was. mhm. um a fish. um and are any of the foods are they ones that she actually eats so she may have recognized them that way? mhm. she likes string beans. yeah.
um she keeps calling everything apple and I don't know what that's about today. she knows that apples are red and they aren't... she called this an apple. oh yeah. um and she called something a banana that clearly wasn't a banana. that red pepper. mhm. oh okay. same shape. yeah. [laughs]. um was there anything else that she played with? no not really. yeah? uhuh. does she play with dolls at home? she does. yeah? she does and she dresses them up and she dresses up a lot in play dress up clothes. mhm. she did play with this. she put it on the oven for a while. oh yeah. um are the dolls similar to what we have or are they...? mhm. this one looks like her Dora doll. okay. a little bit. uhoh you gotta put the pants on. here's some green or blue pants for the doctor.
alrighty. [above three lines are IDS.] and um does she have like different dress up? like I know we have uh different characters kinda like that. mhm. does she have any of those? with the barbies she does. with her bigger dolls whatever they came in. yeah. she just takes that off and puts it back on and mixes 'em up and... yeah. um but no not themed. mhm. doctor uniforms or what not. right. um and are there any other things does she usually play with at home that we don't have? toys that you... yeah any toys that you usually play with? she likes electronics that's why she keeps kinda gravitating to that when she sees those instead of... I mean that's the era they're in. mhm. oh yeah. so she has a lot of electronic type games where it sings to her and stuff like that. um yeah quack quack. that's a geese. [above two lines are IDS.] his shirts under her cheerleading. um and anything else you noticed during the play that you thought was interesting or different from what she usually does? no we have a playroom in our house and she's just goes crazy in there she loves it. yeah.
but she's usually really messy in there but she's really neat anyway. like she likes to organize things by color and when she messes something up she usually puts it away. she's not like that at home in the playroom but she's like that everything else she does. yeah. and um I didn't notice her trying to do that so much right now so that was a little different. okay. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5443AO.cha = = = I'm just going to ask a couple questions. sure. [lots of feedback on the microphone] um one hundred percent with the toy food. [lots of feedback] and she was mainly picking out stuff and cooking it for other people and we showed her how to work the stove and... 'cause we don't... it's not... the toy food and stuff is actually toys we don't have at home. some of her friends have them but. does you yeah. in the other play sessions did she tend to go for the food as well? food and books and the animals. I think it's you know those things it's recognizable 'cause she has... at one of the play sessions she didn't at that time have a doll um but now she's got dolls at home an' you know so. yeah 'cause we have a lot of animal toys and games and everything at home too but the toy food we don't. more novel. yeah. we haven't gone to you know kid kitchen and all that stuff so. does she ever... oh sorry go ahead. go ahead I was gonna say and she helps me a lot in the kitchen at home so she knows you know the basic process for everything and it's just like hey. that's what I was gonna ask you if um does she help you mix things up or... all the time [laughing].
'cause she seemed to know what to do xxx. is there anything else is there anything here that she did different than usual like with the food you said she useta play in the other play sessions xxx. yeah then she was mostly looking at it and naming and we do find xxx because at that point when she was one? [laughing]. so it's just a big difference from the way she can play now versus the way she could play then. so now she's doing more every time you xxx. yeah. did she seem to recognize most of the food here or is there anything she didn't seem to know? um the only ones she didn't know were the things that I didn't quite know what they were until I looked. so like the tuna we were both a little like hm um but everything that she has had contact with or eaten or helped me cook she knew what it was. and so she's seen like she's seen you eat some of these things? yeah. oh she knew how to make a sandwich. that was cute. yeah she helps make you know daddy's lunch every morning an'... I'm surprised by some of the fruit she was xxx a lot of kids don't know um think it's an apple. the peach? yeah. always been a big fruit and veggie eater. in fact like we were you know worried about her protein level for a while 'cause she just loves fruits and veggies so she recognizes pretty much all of them. I'm like okay need some variety so. she seemed to know though I thought I saw her looking at the beets or whatever that is... I think it's yeah. or the hamburger or the porkchop or she knows if like she's definitely seen it it's just she doesn't really eat it. do you think she would have recognized any of these animals? yeah for sure. she loves animals. I think most kids love animals but. has she seen any in real life? like have you guys been to the xxx.
um we've done you know lots of drive-bys like horse places. we've been to the zoo once or twice but um... they're all done with the sheep? [addressed to child] thank you. [addressed to child] and we've you know like state fairs that kind of thing. she's been in the barns and gotten to touch the cows and touch the llama that kind of thing. so. um so mostly domestic animals. we haven't been to the zoo that many times just because by the time you know she was sort of old enough to get anything out of it it was crowded season and like it's kind of pointless to stand there and have the animal be asleep and xxx. so we'll probably start taking her we were thinking March April before the tourists really start piling in. yeah I think um she kept calling everything lion in a lot of pictures so I was like oh maybe she's seen this before. it'd be like a tiger picture and then something else um... I know she was like lion so I'm like oh maybe she's been to the zoo and remembered that. yeah she actually does know the difference like she can do cheetah leopard whatever but she's been on a lion kick lately so. and it's just like a big cat that's obviously not a tiny cat is a lion [laughing]. I mean well I'm just surprised that she knew that. yeah some of these are like random animals so. she would probably know most of them. to tell you... I mean the lemur maybe not but [laughing] she'd probably get at least like the category correct. yeah she would probably call that guy like a reindeer because he has horns but. yeah she knew um reindeer in the picture I was trying to get her to say antler and she was like reindeer I was like oh that's pretty good you know. um with the dolls at home does she tend to like... what does she tend to do with them. does she just kinda carry them around or like. um she feeds them. she likes to push them in a little stroller. um she likes to put them to bed. what else do you do with your dollies Eve? do you feed them?
[addressed to child] but it's mostly like feeding pushing in a buggy and she moves them from the buggy to the high chair xxx to the bed an'... but she doesn't like them to be undressed which is funny 'cause some kids are really into the diaper thing. no [laughing]. she wants 'em... just take the clothes off and that's all but... yeah and she does not like that. she likes them to be orderly. well yeah she was like organizing them all and she's like no because I... we usually just like toss them in you know the kids are like okay cool xxx. yeah between the way I am or the way she's sort of grown up so far seeing me put things away and then Montessori school she's doomed. [laughing] our place is gonna be the most organized place on Earth. yeah. that's good um is there anything else you wanna tell me about xxx or do you have any questions... nope um I think I wrote on the questionnaire she's really only gotten into toys in the past few months um she's always been more of like a help mommy kind of kid um and when she really started playing with her toys we went through a puzzle stage where all we did were puzzles for like a month and a half. just puzzle after puzzle after puzzle after puzzle after puzzle so now she's starting to get more into blocks and cars and um that kind of stuff. I feel like the puzzles are the best like when I... well she did like the car. she was kind of playing with it but some kids you know are like enough with this I want the real toy. right. and she seemed to like um the book with you too so. we're... we read a lot [laughing]. that's good. that's probably where she gets you know a little vocabulary from. she went for a while on um the um vocabulary tests xxx. so that's great. and she does have great um memory and attention with the xxx and stuff. I don't know if you're familiar with it but she was really um very focused I was like wow so. yeah she's a good little duck. so cute. I had a lot of fun working with her.
thank you so much for coming in. no thank you for... and you guys are great testers. I like having experienced um seeing lots of people test some people just move so slowly. well I try. I'm getting you know I'm still kinda trying to get useta going with the pace of a two year old because it all depends on what they wanna do. yeah. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/4731SA.cha = = = d' you want me to keep this...? yeah. um so we needta kinda talk about this play session like we talked about the other ones. sure. why don't you scoot ahead Stevie. so what did he enjoy most? ah the kitchen. the kitchen and food stuff. and ah looking at the animals. um does he have kitchen kind of toys at home? we do. we have a play kitchen. and he spends a lot of time playing with it. and he also enjoyed the screwdriver and um screw set. he has um a handful of pretend toys at home that he also plays with a lot. yes. [child talking in background] and um are there any of these foods here that you also have a play version of? um some of the play icecream and play cans. ah we have... and the play cookie we have a similar set.
and the ah the hotdog and hotdog bun we have a similar set. but the realistic looking food we don't. and stuff with textures um we don't. yeah it seemed like he was really interested in the textures. it did. so I'm gonna hafta... he likes those. but he comes over and xxx. he does. he has a couple of um of books that have different pages. fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy. and you know feel the soft belly. and a Curious George that he feels bumpy services. and smooth surfaces. two cakes! [to child.] two cakes. two cakes. [to child.] are there any of these that he eats at home? ah the vegetables the peas and the beans are. um and he's had icecream. rarely but it makes an impression. and cookies. um and hotdogs. yeah. does he recognize peanut butter? he might have. um when he has peanut butter it's always in sandwich form. so um I handed it to him and he pretended to eat it.
so um... so he seems also to be interested in the kitchen implements. yes he spends a lot of time at home also standing at at the little stove. and sometimes both he and his sister... sometimes it's just him. he'll go over and play. and pretend to cook food and open and close cupboards and move things around. and um they also both like helping me in the kitchen. also noticed he's a tool guy. he liked the tools. liked the wheel. yup. mhm. what do you think his favorite food to eat is? nowadays it's... cake. could be. his favorite if I would let him would probably be any type of dessert food. cake or cookies. but as far as regular food goes he... would either be scrambled eggs or fruit. like he'll eat a pile of grapes or um you know chow through two bananas and... yeah he really likes fruits. and he really likes scrambled eggs. those are the two things I can always always get him to eat. was there anything here that you tried to get him to play with that he wasn't really interested in? um he wasn't really interested in the dolls. um. we... he sort of liked the stuff.
he liked the stuff. we have dolls at home and he will go and rock them. and take care of them and stuff. um he likes taking the clothes off of them. ah and then he can't figure out how to get 'em back on. and walks away. but he wasn't really interested in playing with the dolls. but he does xxx. he likes the animals. the show of choice in our house right now is either Dora The Explorer or Diego. and Diego deals with a lot of animal rescue animal this animal that. and so they've been you know we've talked a lot about zebras and dolphins. and you know like we talk about what the animal is that he's rescuing. and so... has he gotten to visit xxx? we've been to the zoo a handful of times it's been since the beginning of summer. and it's hard because the times that we've been there have been so many other kids. and so many other things to look at. that the animals back behind you know walls and glass are sort of secondary. um but now that he's recognizing more of them we should probably try and go again. um but he likes animals. a lot of our books also have animals xxx. and he seemed to know what a farm was. knows what a farm is. um we have a farm playset. we have little people. and um and then somebody else gave us another far... so we have two farm sets that the kids play with. and so they know their farm animals pretty well. ah.
you said you have the farm animals. we have ah little people larger plastic farm animals. um like these are denser and more realistic looking. a little bit smaller. um so we don't have ones like this. but we have version of farm animals. does he have favorite animals? um he likes going roar. so generally any type of lion or bear. um he likes. um 'cause he likes going roar. are there any here that you think you named for him the first time for him today? um yeah he took a lot of the birds and gave it... like this one it's a I don't know cockatoo I guess. um but it's a white bird with a large wingspan and he said " oh it's a hawk. " " it's an eagle." it's an eagle he said. um and the toucan he didn't know. so the specific birds. but I mean he knows birds in general. um we talked about the leopard or the cheetah. um with it having spots. he recognized it as a big cat but he called it a lion. um but it's still you know same genre. yeah that makes sense. let's see if I got what I was sposta get. is there anything he likes to play at home that we really didn't see today. um trucks and cars and things that go. um he really likes those.
um lots of either driving them around. um we have one of those like little rugs from Ikea that has the roads on it. and um little play areas. and he'll drive his cars around that a lot. we also have a set um they're just sticks. and balls. but they're magnetic. and so you can connect them together. and you can go around and stick 'em to everything that's metal. and build shapes out of it. he hasn't really gotten into building the three-d shapes. but he likes sticking them together. likes how they work. and train sets. he likes his train set at home. yeah that just reminded me. hey buddy hey Stevie. what's that? what is it? what do ya think this is is it a pickle? what is it? oh I know it's an elephant. [to child.] is that an elephant? [to child.] what is it? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5440JJ.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5224EZ.cha = = = drawing?

[IDS.] [whining]. hey! I've got some crayons! [gasp]. d' ya wanna color? [IDS.] [very soft speaking and microphone feedback]. mhm. um. can you kinda tell me what you guys played with first? um.
this. magnetic toy animal thing. 'kay did she seem to like it? yes. wha what do you think about it that she liked? um she definitely likes the magnets. yeah. just the magnetized and the animals. okay. that she can play with. does she have like any favorite animals? um she likes dogs. she likes farm animals. yeah. that we can see at the petting zoo. okay does she have any favorites of those? um. any specific ones or just all of them? pretty much all of them xxx dogs are here favorite I think she likes um the sheep she was the petting zoo she can feed the sheep. right. xxx so what else did she seem interested in? um we played with the plastic animals. um and some of the plastic food but that's it. okay um anything any I guess animals she hasn't seen before? um the lobster she hasn't seen before. okay. and um. a turkey she hasn't seen a real turkey. mhm right. um let's see.

I don't know that's she's never some of them are not readily identifiable. right. but I don't think there's anything she's never seen. okay were there any other foods here that she kind of... oh this little brown thing I don't. even know what it is. peanut butter? it's sort of gross. it's sort of gross looking alright [laughs]. I know. um and any of these other foods I guess like does she eat a lot of these other foods at home? or... yeah I would say. [inaudible]. well um lets see was there I guess was there anything you kind of tried to get her to play with she wasn't really interested in? baby dolls. yeah um anything else like [inaudible]. well she was interested in this um toy I don't even know what it is. toy uh chess thing. yeah. but she uh she doesn't know how to play with it and I don't know how to play with it either so [laughs]. [laughs] um did you notice anything I guess ya know. different or even the same that that she usually does with play like...? um she's quieter here. yeah. than she is at home. um I guess anything she played with today that ya know was new for us or something she never played with? never played with at all?
yeah. um we don't have these little animal toys. okay. so I would say those are new. okay. she's a really good cleaner upper. I noticed that she has a bunch of clean up routines. well it's daycare they hafta they involve them. [inaudible]. mhm. and both of those right in the... mhm in the trash. um I guess anything else you noticed today? no she's just very uh reserved. yeah. today. she did a good job and she was ya know she was definitely playing with a variety of things. mhm. [inaudible] I know she really liked the animals. mhm. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/7444IJ.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5196AVI.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5923MW.cha = = = okay. can you just tell me what he played with today? uh he played mainly with the food toy kitchen items. is that what he normally tends to go towards? not really. I don't think we have any pretend food.
at home. in the other play sessions did he usually end up going with the food or did... it's been a while now I don't remember. um he did some yeah he did some of them he played with the food a lot. yeah these are like a little different toys so they're a little bit more like older I guess. right. so he tended to go with like the animals before and now... I think he played a lot with the toy food in the past too. uhoh. um do you think he recognizes any of these animals? just knows what animals they are do you mean? yeah like has he ever seen any of these? yeah like he identified the deer and the cat and I think he knows what the bear was and... we didn't really get much further than that. but yes. a couple from books and real life. have you guys been to like the zoo or something? yeah we've been to like the zoo and then also just more ordinary animals just around you know... you see deer in Rock Creek Park and... dogs and cats of course everywhere you go and horses... he's seen in real life and stuff so... he seemed to like the horse when I showed him the picture. yeah we just saw horses a couple days ago so... does he like to read with you at home? yes. I think today he was just distracted. yes. distracted and probably getting antsy. yeah. do you have that book at home?
yes. mommy. we've been reading that one a lot too. mommy. yeah thank you it's a waffle oh thank you. I'm not sure what it is thank you. he seemed to be familiar with it like when he first picked it up. right. yeah he likes that one a lot right now. what did you say? so it's sort of all of a sudden he likes that one a lot. does he try to read with you or does he just kinda look at it. he tries to point out the things yeah. especially the balloon in that one. every page he's gotta show the balloon. and then sometimes he'll just pick up the books on his own or like when he's in the car seat in the car he'll just read books on his own. does he ever try to help you in the kitchen at home? like he seemed to kinda understand... yes. yeah. he does. I mean to the extent that a kid his age you know... but yeah. and he has his own drawer of sort of kid safe kitchen implements. he pays with like measuring cups and you know spatulas and things. yeah he seemed to know what the stove was xxx. right. and that it's hot. he kept saying hot hot hot. yes.
he's familiar with kitchen stuff. does he eat any of these types of foods at home or has he seen you eating any of this stuff? um yeah. occasionally ice cream. cheese he likes cheese a lot. corn on the cob some. yeah that's more cheese. um I mean sometimes mashed potatoes or pizza or green beans. I don't think he's ever had beets. peanut butter sometimes. do you think he recognizes maybe the names of some of them? like maybe the one's he's eaten? yeah some of them for sure. I don't know... yeah. he seemed to know some of the animal names too like when you would point them out to him. but you said he's more into like saying the noises and stuff... he mostly does the noises yeah. like for deer he says Dee 'cause we don't know what sound a deer makes. um but yeah like for bear he's more likely to say roar. and for dog he says ruff ruff. so most of the animals yeah he'll... you know the books usually have both things but he latches on to the sound effects more. does he have anything like this at home like any little dolls... thank you. yeah he has dolls and stuffed animals and... some clothes. he's not really into changing their clothes much. at this point. but yes he plays with them and he pretends to feed and give water to the dolls and stuffed animals.
tries to put shoes on them. things like that. yeah he seemed to notice like the pants were on but like he didn't wanna dress them but... it may just be that there are so many other things. because like there's a doll at home that has one sock on and he's like uhoh uhoh pointing to the other foot so... normally would notice you know that he didn't have a shirt. I think there's so much going on you get distracted. um was there anything else that seemed different today than like other times you remember? I mean nothing that I can think of in particular except of course that he's older now. he seemed very interested in the toy stove. was he before more like just kinda looking at stuff rather than kinda like using... you know what I mean? um I'm trying to remember his play sessions have been like months ago some of them more than a year ago... yeah I don't know maybe he was just exploring them more. he definitely seemed to recognize right away that this was a toy stove because he knows about our stove at home and that it's hot and that he can't touch and that these knobs he can touch and... he seemed to like that. he seemed to like the um tools too does he have anything like that? right. not really. I mean he's got some sort of like a peg board type thing you know where you put the shapes on pegs but nothing quite like this. nothing really tools. no hammering or screwing or anything like that. right he seemed to kind of understand the screw like earlier when he was... yeah he did I don't think he's had any experience with that. I guess he just watched you and kinda got it. yeah he figured it out. so at home he mostly tends to play with like his dolls and his stuffed animals? um he plays a lot of different things at home. he has some wooden puzzles. that's a magnet board I guess.
he likes his puzzles. and then he has like a car and a fire truck and a little you know thing with ramps that it can go on. and then he's got like that um tupperware shape sorter you know with the ball? something similar to that but it's like you put the shapes and colors on the different pegs and... and blocks. he's got like the big giant Legos. the Duplo. or the Megablocks I guess are even bigger. and he likes to play with the blocks. and then he also does play some with the dolls and stuffed animals some. probably less the dolls and stuffed animals than the other stuff actually. and then of course running around outside is probably better than all that. yeah. he seemed to be pretty good with the blocks like making the tower and stuff. yeah we don't have like straight up wooden blocks that he plays with at this point. but um he likes to build with the Duplo blocks. those are probably easier too because they stick as opposed to wooden blocks that slide. right they stay together. right. yeah those are more fine motor skill type blocks. right that's kind of what it looks at. fine motor skill. right. and the bead thing was really fine motor skill. he was trying I think he just got a little frustrated because it's tough to... once you get it in it's like yeah I did it. right. and then you hafta pull it through. I find that some kids at this age really can't but some kids are sort of able to do it so I think it's one of those things that's just starting at this point. right.
yeah. I think he's one of those who will not succeed at first and then get frustrated with it and go on to something else. do you have anything else you wanna tell me about like how he played today or...? or do you have any questions? thank you. he seems slightly more into having somebody right there playing with him. than he has in the past. it was more like okay here's some toys I'm going to do this productive thing right next to you or you know nearby while you do that and yeah... now he really wants somebody to play with him sometimes. you know he'll say sit! and he also... like he tries to help with laundry. like he'll get the laundry and try to stack it and stuff like that. [can't hear experimeter over child. ] yeah he definitely wants to be... he wants to be involved in what you're doing and he wants you to be involved in what he's doing. so... mommy. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5694MC.cha = = = um she'll probably stay over in that area xxx. yeah. shift over here. oh. um. here let's bring this up. what happened? [IDS.] um so tell me what she was interested in today. uh the kitchen [laughs].
and food. um is that something common? yeah. okay. she loves it. um does she have play food... mhm. okay. um and anything similar that she has? uh we have a lot of cupcakes. she loves those. um actually not much is very similar. so. it's kinda new. okay so was any of it new? most of it was new. um any examples of things she might have never seen before? um the pretend food that looked real. ours is soft and doesn't really look all that real. um has she seen any of these foods like in real life? oh yeah. um she went right for the green beans. uh what else. cupcakes. the cans I think are very new to her. she wasn't exactly sure what they were. um so when she plays with food at home what kinds of things does she do? um well we have a full kitchen so she'll put things in the oven and bring us food and feed us. does she have anything she loves to make? cupcakes.
okay. um so what are some of those foods that she um had encountered before like in real life? um well the can stuff. the meats. I guess the size of the um pie and pizza kinda threw her off. and then it was broken. I did hear that. um was there any food that was new to her she may never have seen before? um she probably doesn't remember a kiwi. she hasn't seen a peach unless it's cut up in front of her. so I think it's different contexts. or different size. yeah. um what about um any foods that she plays with at home that we didn't have here? um mostly she's into the cupcakes. we have a couple different... um when she cooks she likes to play with her tea set too so. that's a little different. yeah. she'll make us coffee. um so what else did you try to get her to play with today. um the book the dolls which I'm surprised she didn't go for. they might be a little big? she's more into her sized dolls. and naked so. dolls dressed might have thrown her off. oh okay. um so does she have those at home? yes. her older sister has those more mature dolls and she prefers the little ones. okay.
um what kinds of things does she do with dolls at home? takes their clothes off. put 'em back on. um she loves to take them on walks and put 'em to sleep and feed them. very maternal type things. um and does she like reading books at home? she loves it. yeah. and actually Goodnight Moon is one of her favorites so I'm surprised she didn't go right for it. I guess the new toys kind of... yeah. she was way too interested in the food. [laughs] yeah. um anything else she wasn't really interested in? um the animals. I don't know if she really plays with them at home either. yeah. um so that's not really an interest for her? no. and I don't know if she knew what the um I guess they're magnets are. they're all turned upside down so. and they're beyond the food. right. yeah that food was the draw from the beginning. yep. um so the kinds of things she's doing with the food today is that pretty typical? um yeah. normally she has a bigger kitchen and we'll be more I guess real life with it. she puts things in pots and puts 'em in the oven. it's not exactly what we would eat at home but similar.
yeah. um are there other things um that she has at home that we didn't have here that she likes to play with? um well she likes to dress up. I was kinda surprised that she wouldn't let me put the apron on her. um but mostly food dolls and dress up are her top three choices. we mostly have that but she's uh... yeah. very focused today. yes. um was this similar to the other play sessions I know we have different toys but um her play in previous ones was it similar? yeah it seems like she's drawn to one thing and kinda focuses. um do you remember what it was in a previous one? I think there was a bee with the crazy hair. yeah. she liked that. um and did you notice anything about her play that was different from maybe what she normally does? uh at home? mhm. um I guess she's more independent here. normally she'll be more willing to give up food. and serve. okay. um anything else you noticed that you wanted to bring up or...? I don't think so. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/7120CB.cha = = = xxx do a quick interview with you. sure. um. she can just keep playing.
um. and I think I have most of your forms filled out. I might needta still... okay that's fine you can just leave that there for now is fine. um. do you wanna just tell me a little bit what she started playing with today? um I think she was very interested in the animals until she saw the kitchen. and then she went for the kitchen because the kitchen's her favorite. yeah [laughs]. um did she do much with the animals at all? no. oh. I think she picked out the fox xxx which I'm not sure where it went and it's 'cause she likes Swiper from Dora... oh okay. and that's why she picked out the fox right away. yeah. um. okay so she went over to the food and that was... where we stayed. yeah [laughs] um so you said that's her favorite xxx. yes she likes that a lot. um does she have food at home? is that... she does. we have a kitchen and toy food. and at her childcare too she has two older girls there and they're both very into babies and cooking and all that stuff so I think that's why... she's interested in that too. um does she have similar food... do they have similar to what is here? we don't have this.
[laughs]. um [laughs] but actually I'd say we don't like have like lambchops or anything either. but I mean we have a lot of variety so we got like the mega pack. oh yeah. so she probably has seen most of these things. mhm. does she have anything she really gravitated toward? anything she... I'm tryin' to think. the ice cream I guess. this one ice cream. I don't think that's ice cream. I think that's mashed potatoes. mm. yeah you don't like mashed potatoes. [laughs]. you're a weird kid. I like mashed... this is the weirdest food ever. mommy look that's ice cream. I know I know. it's kinda gross. you think that's ice cream? I don't even know what that is. that causes a lot of questions. it's actually tuna fish. but... oh alright! well that's not that weird. yeah I know.
oh it says it on the bottom. yeah [laughs]. I found chocolate! um so um were any of the things new to her? anything she might not have seen before? uh definitely not this. whatever this is. 'cause I didn't even know what that was. um I actually don't think sushi is new to her. um but she's not that familiar with it. yeah. we read a book about sushi randomly. um and we do eat sushi just not that often. I'm trying to think if there's any other food that I saw. I guess we didn't get to the one's that she wouldn't have known. mhm. gentle baby. um yeah I don't see anything that she wouldn't have known necessarily. other than the turnips. right. and then she thought this was ice cream so... mhm. um and any of these foods that's she actually eats in real life that maybe she recognized? ice cream. we're really healthy in our house... yeah [laughs]. you can tell. um yeah I mean she would probably know... here mommy! thank you.
you're welcome. she's eaten kiwi clearly. oh yeah. um hamburgers. cheese. she knows peanut butter she's eaten... mushrooms. she'll eat it just like this. oh wow. um so might not recognize that. peas. pro'ly not lambchops. right. oh that would have been a food she probably doesn't know. oh yeah. she would know it was meat probably but that's about it. but yeah she knows bananas. the vegetables and the fruits. yeah. um. I don't think she would know tuna slash throw up. was she doing anything with the food besides you know just kind of looking at it? pretending to eat it. yeah. really trying to eat it. sticking it down the baby's shirt. oh right yeah [laughs]. not sure what that was about. I heard that a little bit. um trying to feed me.
mhm. I think that's about it. um at home or at daycare does she do any cooking? anything like that? like real cooking or...? er no just pretend cooking. pretend cooking yeah. she does cook things... yeah. and she mix things together? oh yeah. um so and then she played with the dolls a little bit right? little bit yeah. um does she play with those at home at all you said? Claire don't chew on that honey. we do wipe 'em down after every one but [laughs]. [laughs]. you won't be able to if she really eats it right? right yeah [laughs]. um sorry what did you ask me? um. oh did you say she plays with dolls at home er? yes she has several babydolls at home. okay. and um are they similar to these or are they different? one is. one's like this? one is this. actually two are like this. mhm.
they look similar to these yeah. and what sorts of things does she usually do with the dolls? she likes to put it in their stroller and push them around the house or to the park. go outside. um she likes to put them in the chair to feed them. yeah. gotta feed them. um she likes me to wrap them in a blanket so she can finish putting them to sleep. here you go mommy here you go. thank you this looks delicious. nice dessert spread. wow look at you. [laughs]. wow. it's food. um yeah put 'em to sleep. mhm. comfort them. yeah. a spoon. does she do any dressing up at all? [whines] she hasta xxx herself so she'll take the clothes off. mhm. but then she'll want me to like put the clothes on for her 'cause she doesn't wanna do that. she'll get frustrated. mhm. that a spoon? does she play with any that are in any kind of outfits or from... mhm there's two spoons.
yeah I think all of hers have clothing. this spoon? okay. here mommy. this spoon. mhm. thank you. did she play with anything else today? I don't think so. nope. um what sorts of things other than you know the food and the baby does she usually play with at home? she has um little people. like the house that you guys have. yeah. um and it has like a car and an airplane and a farm. [laughs] and pretty much everything they make for little people. [laughs]. um so she'll make the animals like go to sleep. or put the people to bed. she likes that which we play a lot um but she'll just drive like race cars and um and she I would say her her favorite way to play is physical play. oh yeah? like we have a tent at home. she loves to just like run in the tent and in and out around the backyard. mhm. she loves to be outside. garage. she likes to go to the park. swing. slide. oh careful.
careful baby. um tickling. mhm. like chasing. yeah. I'd say that's her favorite way to play. um and she loves books. yeah. she could read books all day. um but with toys I'm trying to think. she's not so into puzzles. no? she'll complete like a wooden puzzle. yeah. um but interlocking she's not really interested even in having me help her. okay. 'cause we have a big one and she's not that into it um... mhm. what's that one? it's a pepper. it's a hot pepper. oh hot. chili pepper. [laughs]. ouch! no. um I'm trying to think what else she plays. what eatin'? she has like one of those... what eatin'?
top computers... oh yeah. where you push the buttons. mhm. she plays that. and like toy phone. pepper. another pepper? there was another pepper honey. where did it go? some hot dog. I think there was a green one somewhere. yeah I think there was a green one. where did it go? are you sitting on it? yeah! yeah? why don't you stand up then and see if it's under your bumbum. oh it's under the baby. oh it's under the baby's bumbum. [laughs] [laughs]. there they are. two hot peppers. and so what she played with today is it similar to what she's done in other play sessions? or I know she's younger... I think all the sessions she wanted the toy food. yeah. and the babies. I think all of them she did.
yeah. I'm trying to think. I think all of them. how many play sessions are there? two other ones. let's see so they start at seven months. I'm only remembering two. they start at seven months and then... she's seven months ten months... did they do a play session with the first one though? I don't remember. did we do one with that? I don't remember if they did it with the first one. I remember twice and I think both times she played with the... yeah. toy food or the baby doll. I'm pretty sure. but not the whole time. yeah. count them! one. two. [gasps] there are two! nice job. yeah I'm pretty sure these play sessions could just be the food and every kid would be fine [laughs]. mommy. [laughs]. xxx it's too hot. yeah I feel like a lot of... yeah.
where is it? um alright was there anything else you... oops. you noticed during the play that was interesting something different? um I would say just in general she typically does talk more than that. I though she was quieter than usual. yeah. like at home she'll talk incessantly. yeah. like never ending strain of words. [laughs]. so she's a little quieter? yeah I'd say a little bit. and I guess the last play session did she come in for an eighteen month visit or...? yes. okay. was she talking much then? yeah. yeah? [vocalizes] oh now you're going to play with the other ones. do you think she's more talkative in that visit or...? no. no? just... no. I think she's been quieter than she typically is every visit. oh. I think just being a new place she's a little shy. yeah.
look mommy! yeah. look! shyer than I expected actually. look mommy! I think it's a lobster. look at that. it's a big lobster. [laughs]. it's from the ocean. alright. and oh there was one thing I didn't um on the... what's that mommy? Mullen fine motor does she usually turn pages in the book? does she just turn one at a time or...? oh yeah. she can do one at a time. um I mean she doesn't always do one at a time but she... yeah. what that mommy? take my eye out. it's an eel! it goes in the water. it swims. swims in the water. 'kay. called an eel. with sharp teeth. [chomp noise]. oh!
oh no look at you. so now um I can give you since we're all finished so um we have two consent forms to go over. okay. squawk! um. I can... squawk! give to you. [laughs]. he's squawking? squawk! [vocalizes] is that what the parrot says? yeah. yeah. ouch! ouch! did he bite you? = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5346GG.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5543EF.cha = = = mkay. cookin' it? that what's that? oh do you leave this on? we'll just leave that on. okay. but uh we try to uh xxx if she needs to go out for a like walk or something that's also a possibility. I think she'll just play. yeah.
alright so um you wanna kinda just tell me what you started playing with today? um I guess we started with the puzzle. um but then we got into obviously the kitchen a lot and the dolls. and I brought in the animals. okay so um the kitchen that's the thing she played with a lot. it's funny beca she has a one at her daycare we bought her one for her birthday but we're moving so we decided not to put it... we're horrible. we figure we give 'er it at christmas next year. [mom is laughing.] because like we don't want the movers to break it. so um but yeah we don't have any food toys anything like that 'cause I had bought it all but we haven't given it to her. it's not a big part in her um daycare either. they have a little kitchen but they don't have like anything foodwise like this so. she did really play with that xxx. she was very in the do... the dolls are definitely something she absolutely loves at home and has tons of strollers and stuff like that. so that... but yeah. what other kinds of things does she do with dolls at home? she will walk her baby dolls everywhere um with the stroller um. she has a highchair for her dolls so she'll put it next to her highchair. um she tucks them in. everything hasta be tucked in at night too. everybody hasta have a blanket. um yeah those are mainly... um and so with the food you said she doesn't have a xxx but um have you seen her do the stuff she was doing today before? no because we don't have any of the um the toys. right. really. uhhuh.
you know in terms of her own eating though you know the grabbing the spoon and everything and the bowl and things like that. so does she have any of these foods in real life? um she will not eat vegetables that's why I was joking about that. um cupcakes [laughs]. she does have cupcakes um. you know some of them she won't eat mashed potatoes but she's playing with those so. uh I mean she's seen them but she doesn't eat a lot of them. the cookies. cupcakes and cookies she's big fans of. she's the worlds worst eater. [laughs]. um is there any food that um she had maybe never seen before? um yeah she wouldn't have seen the ribs really um the tunafish I don't think um. she's seen donuts but I don't know if she's really had donuts she's had more of the munchkins you know not a true donut. um but yeah those... the pie maybe she really hasn't seen the pie. everything else she's seen you know. or the sushi [laughs]. that was a new one? yeah. that's definitely new. um so you said a lot of the foods she'd seen um but she wouldn't really eat? yeah like like she'll eat pizza and cheese and bread those she'll eat but not... and the cupcakes. but not the vegetables um not the potatoes not the hotdog. I know. yeah. but I think she was throwing things in the pot you said... she kept throwing the animals in the pot. or she was cooking them.
yeah. so. so any of those animals does she play with those a lot or...? um no. we don't have anything like that like little figurines. um we have a lot of books with animals in the pictures so we look at like a lot of picture books with animals so. um so were these animals that she's familiar with? probably not no none of these really. maybe the seal but no none of the others would she really seen that much. was she interested in any particular one? she kept playing with these two guys so. she still is. she seems to like them. and the um fly. or the otherwise known as the ladybug. buzz or the bee I guess more so. um let's see did she do anything else with the dolls today? the dolls she she fed the dolls she gave them juice she fed them each meals and um she opened their eyes. um I noticed xxx anything um similar to what she usually does at home xxx? anything with the dolls is what she does at home she definitely um... xxx you know like she take toys like I have um little princess figurines but they're princess dolls and she likes to put them in her box and carry things around. so like it didn't surprise me that she was putting everything into the bowl like she likes to do that even though not all those things are sposta go in she will put all her favorite things in an area of something a bowl a box and then push it around usually. yeah. that's what she does. um and anything that you saw today that was um different I know some of the xxx but anything you hadn't seen her do before? I mean I never heard her really say like I wanna cook it or things like that so perhaps we should uh unwrap that kitchen [laughs]. um and let's she was there anything at home that she usually plays with that we didn't have here? um at home she... you know like I said it's like we have the whole crib the stroller so the whole doll ensemble. um and uh she has um like these like thick kinda like lego blocks that she likes she plays with those. um anything that has wheels that she can push too she loves like trucks or anything like that.
um and she has a dollhouse at home she always is playing with her dollhouse. anything else you saw today that...? no. she just loved playing with the food. yeah she does. alright well great she was uh really good today. yeah. I would say. yeah well that's a long... it was. it's a long session for this. she kept getting things right and we hadta keep going. that's right. [laughs]. you're just always like [oh] or you were so close and then they get one and then... but yeah I thought you know she definitely was exhausted during the book. yeah. like she just wasn't even doing that one. she powered through at the end. yeah. that was good. yeah. everything else I thought she did great on. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5244SE.cha = = = alright. sure. can't really get her to... you found a pocket! that's okay.
it's okay to play with babies. oops 'cuse me Sela. what did she like to do with the babies? just the clothes. and I mean just moving it moving it. and she's fascinated with the eyes. and um... baby was giving her kisses and hugs and. [laughs]. hat. yes. and she's like systematically going through everything. finding the pants. finding the hats. and getting them... she's a great mimic right now. so I think these are tangible things to her. does she um like to put her own clothes on? she doesn't really have the patience for it. but she likes to take 'em off. and fact she'll holler and let me know she's taking 'em off. quite a bit so. but she doesn't really wanna put 'em on. ah well that makes sense. I think her brother was really interested in the shoes wasn't... yeah. yes. mhm. kept changing the shoes changing the shoes yes. and can she get them on and off independently or?
ah she found a pair that she could do. mhm. haha very good Sela. it's very pretty Sela. that's good. and what did she decide they were? in terms of babies are they...? kids or babies or...? baby. just baby? mhm. girls or boys. no. and I kinda said he she but I didn't really... does she have any of the clothes that are particular favorites for her? that she really liked. ah I mean no. not really. she liked all of 'em. she went to the shoes and socks and the skirts. and the yeah pants. oh! put it on! and wasn't Reese also interested in that? in the backpack? yeah. yes yes. big brother goes to preschool and they... so that's a very interesting thing. yeah yes.
a little system yes. and byebye. mhm. goes along with it. yeah I was thinking later that um it would only make sense if you had twins not to have been in the water haha... yeah yes can't do that one. yeah. you guys are out manned. yes we are unfortunately. we'd gone to the beach a couple times but not... only the swimming pool a couple of times 'cause it is very difficult. yeah it must be not exactly relaxing. uhoh what's missing? I don't see anything back there sweetie. look there's nothing back there. I wonder if she would like a little more of snack so we can finish up xxx. sure. Sela do you want um some snack? yeah. yes you do. [static and setting up snack]. was there anything you tried to play with that she didn't really...? I couldn't get her focus off of this at all to get to the animals puzzles or anything else. yes that can be your seat. d' you need help? [setting up snack]. [setting up snack]. [setting up snack]. [setting up snack]. I don't really have a concept of time either honestly.
[laughs]. to know how long I've been doing that or. needing to try to... said " d' you want the animals." she just pretended like I didn't even say anything. that's okay. you know there isn't a... go ahead and eat sweetie you're okay. [setting up snack]. there isn't a requirement... okay. that they play with the other things. um she... does mom hm? [setting up snack]. is there anything that she loves to play with at home that she didn't really play with here? um she does love to play with puzzles and animals. um we're getting there with the food. but um that's not really her... yeah. so those two things. along with the dolls. and so does she have a play kitchen yet or? well not one of those things called a play kitchen. but she has xxx for her birthday she just got a whole tea set and some play food and things like that. and she's getting really into that. yeah. is she interested I wondered in naming body parts? yeah.
yeah? mhm. she pokes us. quite a bit. oh lovely. doing it yeah. I mean you know it's fine but. yeah. yeah she is. and which ones does she know do you think? no take that out of your mouth! thank you. c' you put the bear on the floor? yeah. that's alright I'll get the wipes out. oh sure. um so which body parts does she like to...? bellybutton. tummy. ear. eyes. those are the ones that pop into my head that she says probably the most. that makes sense. she's walking around yanking everybody's shirt up right now. oh! she's on a kick! that's funny. yeah. that's really funny. well I think um I think we're done here.
okay I didn't finish the one last page. [talking about cleaning up]. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5859ME.cha = = = so if you don't mind I'll just ask you. okay sure. a few questions. um if you'd mind we could take her out? I don't know? no that's... she's fine if... okay. okay. um so just kinda tell me what you started playing with today. uh she immediately went to the kitchen stuff. the food stuff. well actually she picked up the doll first. but then that way I think that was before we officially started. once you got everything out uh she was uh definitely playing with the kitchen stuff. okay. is that something she plays with at home? she just uh since Christmas. has actually gotten a little twick. honestly I don't see her play with it much. but the nanny says that both the kids play with it during the day. so... um so what kind of things was she doing with the kitchen and stuff? um she was fascinated with this. which we were calling icecream. [laughs] I'm not sure what it is.
and then putting stuff on the stove. and picking up the cup. and... [laughs/vocalizes]. [vocalizes] those toys. look at those toys. [laughs] look at all these toys. [laughs] xxx those toys! [laughs]. Hey Madeline, d' you wanna take a walk? [laughs]. you wanna go see where I work? [gasps]. ooh! ooh. so Shawn and mommy can talk for a minute? yeah. okay careful hon. [addressed to the child. ] there you go! d' you want her to put her shoes on or xxx. oh she's okay. okay. yeah. hey Madeline! you wanna take the boy with you? the book. and the sp and the bowl okay. [laughs]. [laughs].
um so yeah so she had the cup and she just kinda looking at some of the food items. and I think she thought this was a spice. like salt or something. she was putting that on top of the icecream. [laughs]. [laughs]. um did she have any of these foods to play with? um she's got a hot dog but its looks different. and um she's got fruit. but not kiwi. um so no. I don't think she's got any of these. okay what about um. she's got cups. what about uh foods that she actually eats are any of these... peas. and pizza. she didn't pick up on the pizza. uh. yeah. she will eat a peach every now and then. and icecream she eats icecream. for sure. [laughs]. [laughs]. yeah she would like that [laughs]. yeah [laughs]. that's like one of her favorites. um so yeah. wouldn't say oh cheese she knows the cheese and she loves cheese.
what about was there any food that she'd never seen before? yeah I don't think she's ever seen a doughnut. um. I thought this was oatmeal but she didn't pick up on it. this was sposta be tuna. um she's seen kiwi but it's been a really really long time so I'm not surprised she didn't recognize it. um and is that a cupcake? yeah she's seen cupcakes. okay. so... recently. um yeah so she's seen some of it. but... okay. you said she played with...? yeah well the doll that she took. the boy doll. okay. um her dolls are not so realistic. so they're more plush. and soft. so um and they don't have clothes. okay. so she was really fascinated with the clothes and the shoes. so that was new! yes yeah. that was new for her. okay. so... so what kind of things was she doing with the clothing?
um well she took the shirt off the boy. that shirt and um I helped her take his shoes off. and put different shoes on. and then she picked up the apron. here. she thought it was a shirt. she was trying to put it back on. and um yeah and then she brought them over and put them in the little shopping basket. and gave him a little bag. to go shopping with [laughs]. and I don't know where she gets that from either because she doesn't do a lot of shopping with us so... [laughs] that was pretty funny. um she knows green beans. I don't think she knows the beets but... um and she gave each of the dolls some vegetables. to hold. [laughs]. how nice of her [laughs]. [laughs] yes. so and then she was uh I think more fascinated with how many animals were here rather than any individual animal. hm. did she really pick up any of them? uh she I don't think so. I don't think. there's none over here. yeah she just kind of dumped them out and then swished her hands through them. are any of these ones she might recognize? yeah oh yeah. she should recognize Kanga and Roo from Winnie the poo. and the pig and the zebra.
the seal I don't know if she knows that from books or if she's ever... the octopus I was trying to get her to say that. I thought maybe she'd recognize that. and the panda. she showed you the panda bear. today. yeah that's right. um and you know the birds. um that's a pair of xxx. this one she might've recognized. she might've called it a goose though. so... and the sheep. ant. which I don't think she looked at them closely enough. yeah but she's making some of the animal noises right? well that maybe. that was in the book yeah. yeah. yep. does she do a lot of that at home? yeah I mean we just kinda point out the animals and try to make the sound [laughs]. [laughs]. [laughs]. so... and she had one of those fisher pri I think its fisher price um refrigerator magnet things. that has two pieces and if you get the right pieces it'll make the sound of the animal. and uh she picked up on that pretty quick so. she's been in xxx. [laughs].
so... um so was there anything else that maybe you tried to get her to play with and she wasn't really interested in? uh no I probably would've gone here next. uhhum. um I was surprised she didn't pick it up a little bit. but um hm? there was. what was I pointing out to her and she didn't wanna have anything to do with it? I'm not sure I think it was somewhere over her so it might've been just a piece of food. or someth. I think I was trying to ask her what this was. and she... uhhum. so... um what about anything um she plays with at home that we don't have here? uh whats? I mean she's... we had the crayons earlier. so she does crayons and water. water um. color paints. um she's got a chalkboard and some chalk. and so I mean kinda things like that. um she's got a kitchen. she doesn't really have a lot of these kind of animals. she's got a few. but not a lot. and she's got tons of stuffed animals. only a few dolls. and books.
of course that's... a few little musical type toys. she doesn't really play with those too much anymore [laughs]. she's kinda moved on. so um uh she's got a stroller that she takes her baby for a walk in all the time. so... okay. great. okay! uh she did a great job today. good I know she was getting a little uh antsy there [laughs]. [laughs]. to me she was fine [laughs]. good. yeah yeah. good. yeah it's. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5903AE.cha = = = um I think you started with the food toys huh? mhm. and um what foods would have been familiar to her? um she knows corn. and she knows cheese. and she knows pizza. and she calls anything round like a fruit is an apple to her. so we just call it an apple and she'll eat it. um she doesn't know what juice is. um yeah she wouldn't know sushi. she knows green beans but she eats them pureed she won't eat them cut up for some reason.
I'm surprised she doesn't. she also doesn't eat any sweets. so she doesn't like... good for you. she knows what a cookie is only 'cause Cookie Monster. ah. but she doesn't eat cookies she doesn't eat cake she doesn't eat icecream or candy. is that just lovely parenting or is she just not interested? we have tried. how interesting. she just does not want it. she doesn't want it. cheese and green beans are her favorite food. oh do you wanna sit up there to color? you wanna color off the table? [above two lines are IDS.] here. here's some paper. uhoh. here's your crayons. [above four lines are IDS.] so um and she just got a kitchen set for her birthday like last week. so she's super excited about... she seemed about um cooking and... mhm yeah. so she's really excited we've been having a lot of tea parties recently. so she knows about xxx and stuff. yeah. and would she eat pizza? she doesn't eat pizza.
no? no we offer it to her and she doesn't like it. but she has like a little um pizza that came with her kitchen set so she knows what it is. but she doesn't like it so. she just knows what it is. how interesting. so yeah she has um a really weird pattern. yeah. and then she was excited to see um the dolls. mhm. she has um a couple dolls at home. she doesn't really have a lot of clothes or anything for them but um she puts them night night and she feeds them and she makes them go potty and yeah so. she likes to do that. she has a little high chair for them so she sits on the high chair and feeds them and puts the bib on them and then... so yeah she's not useta seeing like all these clothes. but she likes her own clothes. yeah. Mommy. can you sit please? I'm a little worried about that. here let's... can you sit on your butt? thank you. do you want any more food? do you want these apples? they look pretty good. there you go honey. [above 9 lines are IDS.] um and um she likes to run around? she seems pretty active.
oh gosh yeah. yeah um right now since it's winter it's kind of been a problem 'cause um when it's nice out she will stay out all day and she only comes in for meals and to sleep. so the child just wants to be outside all the time. and she likes to climb and jump? mhm. yeah she can jump and she climbs and she runs. and we go on long walks we go to the park a lot. several times a day. and the daycare she was going to um is on an acre of land so they took them on like nature hikes and I mean she's literally outside all day if it's nice out. aw that's so nice. so right now it's tough 'cause it's cold right? and she'd like to be moving. yeah. mhm. she likes to dance. um she also seemed to like some of the animals. mhm. does she have any favorite animals? she loves dogs. that's her favorite which is why I'm surprised when you pulled out the dog she didn't say like dog 'cause normally she freaks out. um she likes dogs she likes donkeys and owls. I think are her three favorites. how interesting. and we have a kitty cat. but um and she's of course interested in the cat but... yeah because she seemed to know what the cat should do and... yeah yeah yeah. she knows the cat. um but yeah she knows a lot of animal noises and she just really likes animals so. were any of these animals new to her?
um yep. um um she doesn't know uh a moose. I'm trying to think of what some of these were. and like she doesn't know what a lobster is. an anteater. and she probably doesn't know llama. which ones did you um show her? um she knew that that was a bear. and I don't know if it was this one. I think it was this. she said it's a bird. cat. she knows deer she knows chicken. hi. [IDS.] are any of these things she's seen in real life? um she's seen the cat and she's seen a deer. we haven't gone to the zoo like since she's been talking so. um yeah she knows a lot of the animals I think. yeah. yeah he likes animals? you do. [above 2 lines are IDS.] and she seemed to really like those shoes. yeah. yeah she likes to put on and off her own shoes. you're a girly girl huh. and she did seem to notice the fashion possibility of my little... yeah. yeah she liked...
those are cute. yeah aren't they cute? mhm. I think they're brand new to this set. yeah she liked to try to put those one. does she have any boots? she doesn't have boots. no she doesn't. so she has um just regular like Mary Janes and then like tennies so. yeah she doesn't know about boots. ah she sounds ready to know. um is there anything you wanna ask me about everything we've done today? um I guess you know how's she doing and...? well I'll hafta sit down... it's hard when they're shy. yeah I know. it's hard to know and it's just one number. almost Ava not yet. [IDS.] and you know... that on a number of occasions she has had enough. mhm yeah yeah. and then it's hard to know if I'd asked that question first how it would have gone. yeah yeah. we're not going out yet. [IDS.] yeah 'cause like you showed her the corn and I know she knows what that it but by that point she was just done. some of those pictures I've found are very um like it doesn't always translate. yeah. there's a tiger just a little bit later and no child yet has gotten that tiger.
really? and you know a bunch of them must know it. yeah. it's just a strange looking picture. yeah 'cause she does know what xxx. or the phone is practically obsolete now. oh yeah she... so they don't get phone okay 'cause it's a weird old phone. yeah. yeah that's true. that's true. and then they don't get mermaid 'cause nobody does. and she actually has um other names for it. like she doesn't call the phone a phone. she calls it a hello. ah. 'cause when I pick up I go hello so she calls it Momma hello. Momma hello and Daddy hello. like we each have our own. yes. hello. perfect. we're almost done Ava. [IDS.] that makes sense. we're gonna clean up. let's clean up our toys. [above two lines are IDS.] oh you wanna? it's completely optional if you xxx.
it's time to clean up! [IDS. ] = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/6626SW.cha = = = = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/4802JP.cha = = = [silence]. yeah. [moving toys around]. baby. [laughing]. oh there are those babies. sure enough. [silence]. here I can take this from you. okay. just a sec... okay. [laughing]. so what I wanna do is ask you some things about the toys. okay. here lets get you a... you can have a real chair. it's xxx. and um... [silence]. [moving toys around] let me see. um which of these toys are kind of like things he has at home? ah. the animals. these like zoo.
and the type xxx to the little fake animals. um. and then pots and pans. we don't have toy ones. I just let him play with the stuff that we have. I don't have special small... yeah. pots and pans. does he um. it seems like he enjoys cooking. yeah. we cook a lot. I mean he sometimes stirs. but I think most of the time it turns into a musical thing. cause he he takes all the different pans. and he knows the different sounds each one makes. ee ee. he likes the sounds. yeah. I noticed yeah. yeah. baby. um. and then books. but I don't have like fake food. I just... we play with food at home. food food! [laughing]. yeah.
yeah we don't have any... the fake stuff. yeah. are there any of the things here that he eats in real life? um. I mean the bread. and the banana. the pizza. the green beans. the juice. anything that's a drink. um. cookies. cupcakes. birthday xxx. yeah... xxx the birthday... he might recognize peas. but he never eats them. mm. I mean they just sit on his plate. um. ah what else do I see over there... soup. like the can. and things like that... xxx we have that at home. he seems to know good night moon. yeah. they're very similar.
it's called good night moon one two three. and it's a counting book. so there's numbers. and it says like one whispering. whatever old lady whispering hush. so it's not the same book but her recognized the illustrations. uhhuh. yeah. does he um. does he have particular favorite things to look for in there? um. the balloon's probably his favorite. so the balloons. mhm. ah but to just pick out the things... I'd say all of them. xxx! the balloons though. he always goes to the balloons. [laughing]. is there anything here that you tried to get him interested in today that he just wasn't... I mean I would say normally. again he's just like at his breaking point. but I think normally I would've had a hard time with the babies. yeah. like he'll play with them for a little bit. and he's just sort of not interested. hm. um. and xxx I could see...
xxx the... I mean we didn't really get to all of it. like the... those stuffed animals like the zebra. and the sheep. I don't think he would really be... Pooh... those are from a show that I don't know. but I think it's a little creepy. when the legs come apart! yeah it's a little creepy... yeah. yeah. and he um. ba! oh! careful! whoops! it's a slip! mm! more goldfish thank you! that is fine Jack. were there any animals here that you told him the names too? that were kinda new? new... I mean the peacock and the beaver. we have a couple at home. oh wow! and they have the ones that... yeah but they're like more cartoonish.
so I don't know if he... that was something I didn't think he was gonna know. if I xxx yeah. cause it's not exactly the same. yeah. yeah. yeah. I mean like the zebra's something that I think you know he would know. it did. and the horse. but yeah the peacock and the beaver... [laughing] um. even the fox. and the fox that was new. ah! um. and is there anything that he really likes to play that we really didn't have today? ah eh. period. in just in here or in general? in general I guess. I mean the... I guess you had cars. he loves anything you can sit on and push. right. oh! that sorta thing... yeah. and he's getting in the whole bike thing. yeah.
it's yeah... no we don't have a lot of cars. it tends to be limited in verbal output. oh! it's more vroom vroom. oh okay. so... so... yeah but like xxx and different types of cars. like whether it's a police car. a firetruck. or a pick up truck. or a tractor. hm! those are big. those are different yeah. and that's something we have a lot of at home. so he can. he knows like what each one does. and the sounds. that's what we think. I still can be driving all by myself. and go [laughing]. look a back hoe! right [lauging]. car transporter! my son is twelve. [laughing] oh! I learned all those words. so...
when he was this age. yeah. yup. that's funny. um. [silence] I have. um. so we have got. a couple things we didn't do. okay. that I'd really like to do. okay. if you could come in again. it would be a quickie. okay... ah... yeah we'd do that. as Lon as it's pretty quick. cause I think at like in that first xxx I dunno half an hour. I felt like he was really concentrating. he was more engaged yeah. yeah. and that is true. well they're also a lower load. I have two things where I say. say dog! mhm. and um. they're probably about five minutes each. okay.
and then then I like to get another go at the story. which I think he would probably enjoy. uhhuh. if he were not at the end of his rope. yeah no. he likes me to read to him a lot. yeah! he says read! he would do it a lot. so... it just wasn't good... you know. it wasn't the moment for it. he was already past. yeah. I think so. I think you're right. um. I also wanna ask what you think about um... when we look at the mcdi. do you think that I was getting answers to thinks he really knew? that he wouldn't answer? or do you think I got about right? I'm sorry um... well I guess xxx... do I think it was a basically a proper assessment of what he actually does? yeah. do you think that he's... I think it was less. I think it was a lot less than he would normally do.
okay yes. cause like I said he was tired. so... when he would. you know when you were saying point at the ear. or point at the mouth. like. that's stuff he's known for a long time. yeah. so... we have the mcdi as well. yeah. and there's a reason. cause they don't always. do the things they do at home with a strange lady in a strange room. yeah. yeah. so I think he didn't show as much. that he knows. yeah. so... [silence]. ah! okay then. I have real quick. two permission slips. for the end of the study. and that's all I have for today. okay. um.
[silence] you've been coming for over a year! to us. so he's really changed a lot. I know! in the... I think I noticed it the most with this. cause. with each questionnaire I felt like he wasn't. I mean he was changing. but. I think physically he was really changing but. yeah. the talking just flourished between eighteen and twenty four months. the language... yeah. in fact. we're working on putting another visit in. for later kids at eighteen months. oh okay. because it's such a change. yeah. and um about twelve? was it a year that we came the last oh! um twelve yeah. oh okay yeah. yeah so it's a... so it's been yeah... yup. even the. yeah I would say the eighteen to twenty four months.
was like so much different. you know it is. and the data points are so much like this. we'd like to see where. something in the middle is um. mhm. but all the time that you've been coming in. we've been recording him. and we've also been recording you. okay. and we don't talk about this at the beginning of the study. because sometimes people change what they're doing. mhm. but our study is looking at also how people speak to their young children. okay. and um. in particular we see interesting things with how well they enunciate a word. oh okay. you know so. and whether that tracks with exactly how old people start to do that. okay. because your seven month old. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/6043AM.cha = = = oh okay. [laughs]. okay so I'll just do a quick interview with you. okay. I'll just talk to you a little bit about what she played with today. xxx but we won't do that um do you wanna start telling me what you started with today.
okay. she went straight to the babies... mhm. and which kinda surprising to me because at home she kind of ignores her babies. okay. because she wants to play with whatever her brother's playing with. especially around babies so it was kinda neat to see her wanna play with them. 'cause I encourage it I'll be like oh let's feed your baby xxx your baby's crying and she'll do it and then she'll like eh and run off and play with her brother. so I was glad to see that so... I know now when I have her one-on-one that she wanted to play with babies. um then she wanted to play with the magnets but she didn't really show much interest in that usually she loves animals. like she'll go to animals before the babies at home. we have a lot of these w that's why I was kinda surprised she went to the babies today first maybe she didn't notice the animals right away but. at home she'll play with the animals. and she'll like take little doggies and put 'em in a little pen and play with them like that or things like zoos so. um. so then we did that... oh screws she likes... Gabe also has a tool set so that's probably why she and he... at home I won't let her play with it so that's maybe why she wanted to try that out but. um so that and at home she loves to play with her kitchen set. and cook me things and she's always bringing me things she's cooked and. now so like yeah. that's why she really loves doing that so. um okay so just with so with the babies what was she really doing with them today? she liked clothes. dressing them yeah putting clothes on them. mhm. pretty much is what she liked to do with them. okay.
okay. yeah. does she have any favorite things she liked I know there's different kinds of clothes there. shoes. mhm. that's about it yeah. yeah. it's what she loves [laughs]. [laughs]. that's yeah. yeah she likes the shoes and she usually likes hats too she likes... so... but we don't have at home we don't have dolls with as much dress up clothing. mhm. 'cause I just haven't bought it for her yet 'cause I don't think she can play with it yet jus like I don't think she can't dress them and stuff so. her dolls mostly are just like those little babies with the... you know they look like little babies and they already have like the little jumper on. and she can't really undress it. okay. so. yeah so it's good to know she likes all the things to play with. yeah it's good xxx. yeah. um and then you said she wasn't really interested in the puzzle did she look at it at all? yeah. this one no. no? nope. the magnets yeah no she... I mean yeah.
she wasn't too interested but. yeah she probably would need a few just played long enough she might've shown interest but... um and then you said her brother has the tools. mhm. um does she play with those a lot at home? yeah. she likes to sit and try to do the screws and hammers and stuff she likes that a lot so... okay. um and then with the animals. you said she likes those right? yeah. do you have any similar at home? we don't have as big a variety and ours are a little bit bigger. like ours are like this big. um we have I don't know if we have an elephant and dinosaurs we've got bears. we've got bugs. some pretty gross ones we don't have this one but [laughs]. we have a dolphin... and we have a penguin. yeah we don't have uh I guess we don't have the apple on or... we don't have the deer or raccoon. we don't have these wildlife [chuckles]. we have mostly jungle animals I'd say. mhm. nope um. yeah... we have a zebra. and a bear. yeah and sheep. we have a lot of farm animals too so.
mhm. are you going shopping Amelia? alright! [laughs] she likes to do this too she has a shopping cart home and she wheels around and she shops forever she collects all this stuff in her shopping cart so. um so any of the... any of the animals were they one thing she had never seen before or were they... in books or xxx. definitely this one. I don't think she's ever seen an eel before. actually the one book we have does have an eel on it but it doesn't look like this at all it looks like a black snake. mhm. um. she hasn't seen [mouth noise]. I don't think she's seen lobster I mean sure she's seen a lobster in a book but she didn't know what that was. and even the octopus that looks like this? all the kid octopuses look friendlier than this. and she's seen them at the aquarium but I don't think she even realized. okay. but yeah. and then... you played a little bit with the food didn't really go over there. mhm. now she is [laughs]. now she likes it but is that something she plays with a lot? all the time. yeah that's that's what she loves. yeah. like I said she loves the cookie she liked it yeah she's always cooking us things we hafta pretend to eat them and... you know she just plays at her kitchen set for you know when she's pretend playing by herself. does she have any favorite foods she likes to... she puts all sorts of things together for us [laughs].
we never know what we're gonna get. she does like these like little cupcake looking things because they're pink icing on top she likes those a lot. we get those often but. and... those cupcakes. and so is there anything else that she plays with at home that we don't have here? she really... well you do have books. she reads books. and she um and she actually really likes like uh movement like train. she plays trains and cars a lot. so things she can push and go. 'cause you've seen her she's very active. and so she's really on the go and so she likes things that she can manipulate. mhm. mhm. yeah see she found a wheel [laughs]. exactly. [laughs]. um and did you notice anything else today that was maybe different that you hadn't really seen before I know she played with dolls but anything else? hm as far as the toys? yeah. some of the foods she hadn't seen the play foods like she hasn't seen play sushi before. and she's never had sushi before so. thanks Amelia. aw there goes my sticker. [chuckles] uhoh! it won't stick to you anymore. no. oh oh let's leave it on.
'kay? yeah and um... xxx is right here. thanks it's okay. is that nice is it funny? did you make mommy funny? yeah am I funny? yeah so I just say something like the green blue she doesn't have like the fullest xxx like. that's you! oh you need that realistic food? I hafta find it on the internet. you know there's the... here you go Mommy. thanks Amelia! okay... so nice. okay. is there anything else you wanted to tell me? xxx play or was it just... um just... doesn't mean it's interesting that you know when I do get her alone she's really so much like a baby. 'cause I I don't know she... xxx Mommy! I I mean I she um. she actually does go towards a good ball xxx. 'cause I mean like [laughs]. xxx she likes dolls but I'm like maybe that's just because she wants to keep up with her big brother. [child singing into mic and causing static] you know and so I think it's interesting to see that but xxx. yeah.
otherwise she's just yeah she's pretty typical. okay. yeah. = = = childes/CHILDES_NA/NewmanRatner/Interviews/24/5563DB.cha = = = probably. Dimmy wanna go see Reanna?
