Video B: "Snack Time"

(Note: We hope to add video clips to our site in the very near future - once we can locate a digital video camera!  In the meantime, we've had to content ourselves with providing the script of this communicative exchange: )

Video Script:

Child enters the kitchen, where Dad is pouring himself a glass of juice.

Dad:
Hey there, buddy!  I am drinking juice.  It's hot out.  I'm thirsty.  I want some juice.  This is red juice.  It's cold.  Feel.  Cold juice.

Child imitates: Cold.

Dad: Yes.  Cold, red juice.

Child:  Cold juice.

Dad:   Do you want juice?

Child nods.

Dad waits, and places a finger to his mouth to indicate he's expecting a spoken response.

Child: Juice.

Dad holds up three fingers, tapping each finger in turn, a cue that he wants a response of at least three words.

Child: I want juice.

Dad pours juice in a glass:   I am pouring juice.  I am pouring juice for you.  Uh-oh, some spilled.  It spilled right here.  Let's clean it up.  Clean up, clean up.

Child, helping to wipe up juice: Clean up!

Dad hands the glass of juice to the child, but doesn't let go of the glass until child says: Thank you.

Child takes the glass, drinks the juice and hands it back to his dad, with a longing expression.

Dad:
You want more juice?  

Child nods.

Dad waits.

Child: More juice, please.

Dad:
Okay!  More juice. You drink more juice!
