3V0811.06 Birds (4/12/80) Miriam made a cardinal “Make it bake-it.” years ago; it hangs from the center of our dining-room window and is frequently remarked upon by Peggy. Since the birds have returned this spring, she has more to discuss at table. Climbing in a chair by the window shoe noted, “See more birdie…Right there…He’s …

3V0811.03 Correction (4/12/80) With my cast, I received a small boot to protect the plaster from the weather. I’ve told Peggy this is my “bootie.” I just sent her out to get her face and hands washed (she is very sticky after Miriam’s birthday party.) As she passed my foot, she leaned on my foot …

3V0811.02 ‘That’s what’ — a microscript (4/12/80) Peggy’s “Why?” question — which has come to follow our every utterance to her — has become quite annoying.

3V0809.02 Imitation and microscript inception Robby was playing hide, getting under his blanket and calling. “Where’s Robby?” Peggy went over by her crib and asked “Where’s Peggy?” (I have never heard her do that before. If someone else says, “Where’s Peggy?” she points to herself and says, “Here.”)

3V0805.02 Aspect: [ I get the socks… I got one.] Sitting on the back steps on a really nice day, Peggy’s socks were on the ground. I told her we should put on her shoes and socks so she could run around outside. Beginning to climb down, she remarked, “I get the socks… I got …

3V0805.01 Language as formulating experience (Eavesdropping) (4/6/80) Peggy wakes early. As I brought some morning coffee to Gretchen, I heard Peggy talking in the crib (through the wall) “Look at the spider, swinging…swinging…” Why is this significant ? Language as formulation of experience, expressing the flow of understanding without communicative intention; fluency as delineating the …
