3V0545.02 /va/va’/ : 07/21/79; Today (Saturday) Miriam got an allergy shot. Peggy came along for the ride. When we returned to our car, a station wagon with a large white dog (Samoyed?) had parked next to us. I pointed the animal out – “See Peggy, see the nice dog.” Peggy looked and replied /va/va’/.

3V0545.01 VERBAL LABELS: 07/21/79; Peggy frequently points to or touches things saying “that” with an intonation not signifying interrogation.

3V0541.03 [right!] Comprehension issue (7/17/79) Peggy and I had a fight today. I was charging about the house, all concerned with th beam-raising project or its clean up. Peggy was toddling about with the yardstick, probably looking to chase Scurry with it. We collided. The yardstick and my left shin. Peggy was knocked [over]. I …

3V0541.02 Comprehension evidence for “what’s that?” — Infant explanation Importance — I consider this exceptionally clear evidence that Peggy understands the meaning of the question “What’s that?” I judge it important because it is a general request for information sufficient to meet another’s criterion.

3V0541.01 Scars: scrape on floor analogous to scar on her own body. Comprehension evidence for “what’s that?” Explaining. (7/17/79) Raising beams for the living room ceiling led to a lot of furniture moving.
