I just we just don't. I don't have that toy. I have something with a zipper, but I just don't play with it with her. right. well, I double knot them, but I don't know. we don't play with her shoes. oh, pretty aware um we have some animal books. mostly dogs and cats but getting to chicks and ducks and pigs and goats and we had a thing we did with the camel and she recognizes the camel know. I have no idea what a camel says, but we decided that a camel says [mother makes funny noises] It just sticks its tongue out. and whenever I say there's a camel she starts to smile cause she thinks it's ridiculous when I make that sound. so, um we have those animals and uh yeah, and a turtle and a fish we have in books. yeah, and we call squirrels kitty, but just because she sees them out the window and thinks they're kitties not I think squirrel's pretty hard to say [laugh]. yeah, um yeah uh of course Lauren has a multitude of brushes around the house and combs. she likes to comb her own hair and she will comb some animals that we have too, I mean the real animals and [laugh] and the toys like this here. well, we have a hamster. actually, I'm after a puppy right now. yeah, but more entranced with this than with anything else she played with. probably less. she was in a stage then and we got her a phone and she played with it then for a couple o' months and now not too much at all. but she did like the pushbutton phone. okay, Alice. we don't have a pushbutton phone at home. at home I. mostly I just point, and say, what's that. uh, I guess, I'm thinking about it now.

I don't really say that I guess as often as I said it here. uh, I was really aware that she wasn't saying anything. uh, but that's why. she really did say more than she did last time?
I can't tell you how much more verbal she is at home. she's doing things like this. she's exploring the whole house. she's never confined [laugh]. it's impossible. um I don't usually ask her what she wants she usually shows me. but that was a situation of her being up here and it being on the floor. but if I say “What do you want”, she'll go get it. but um... um she might if it was a doggie. 'cause I really thought she wanted the doggie. yeah, doggie, she could say. and I think that was what I was trying to get her to say. but I thought maybe she would say it if she couldn't reach it. but she's really ph more physical than verbal. all this throwing and everything. yeah, she really is. I mean, she would much more I mean, she would much rather throw these than look at the things on them. y' know what now I mean or uh, books she'll look at but, uh a lot of real physical running around falling down [laughs]. uh, she has a similar one with things to touch and look at, yeah. she did. she put her finger through the hole, yeah. she likes peekaboo. that's why I like this page a lot. and she can say peekaboo [this last softly]. peekaboo. %add: chi look. where's the boy? don't pull it off.
