Name Dawnetta Tipton Date 10/2/2012 Time 1pmAge of Child 1 grade 10months This observation took place in the childs home. Kylan is a 1 year and 10 month old little boy who is brown skinned with a short treasured little afro, hes wearing a black & gray Nike jogging suit. In the living room his 3 older siblings were present and as well as his mother. The room was very well kept, there was a red and blue toy box in the corner of the room which contained several different toys kept in it for kylan. There was a brown and tan sofa, loveseat and chair, 40 inch television with a playstation system plugged into it.In which his siblings were sitting on the floor playing a basketball game. The living room walls were beige with a brown bord er going around the top of the entire wall with seashells as the print. The rug was dark brown and fuzzy. My impression of Kylan was that he was very active, hes always on the move doing something. He went over to his toy box and pulled out a small blue toy guard car, he plays with it for about 3 minutes and then goes over to the sibling brothers to try and take the accountant away from the brother closest to the television.Big brother tells him No you too little to play the game and he gets mad and tries to scratch brother face with his leftfield hand. He then Dawnetta Tipton proceed over to his mother raising up both hands for mom to pick him up and she does, he starts trying to talk with mom and hes smiling and gesturing her hands to his face to play the game Peek-a-Boo. This child receives all the attention he needs from his mother and brothers. Childs Actions 2pm Kylan is walking around the living room playing with a little orange basketball, tossing the ball from me to hi s mom. 04pm Kylan now tosses the ball at his 6 year old brother who gets mad and tells mom his little brother is bothering him while hes playing the game, mom tells him to stop, he laughs and runs in the back bedroom. 206pm Kylan is now standing by moms bed and tries to hide when I enter the room, he comes out of hiding and runs pass me back into the living room and jumps up in mom lap and start hugging her neck. 211pm Kylan jumped down from mom lap and starts playing with his blue toy police car, starts to make noise as saying Vroom-Vroom. 13pm Kylan sits on his older brother lap so that he can help big brother play the game, he is now laughing and all excited his brother let him help him play the basketball game. Dawnetta Tipton 220pm Kylan gets up from his brother lap and walks into the kitchen and tries to open the refrigerator, his mother comes into the kitchen and ask him Are you thirsty and he nods his head yes and she gets his sippy cup out and he proceeds to drink his juice . 224pm Kylan climbs up on the sofa and sits down staring at the picture of Spongebob on his cup, he looks at me and smile.Mom put in a DVD of Sesame Street and he proceeds to watch the show. 230pm Kylan has now laid down on the sofa still watching his Sesame Street DVD while playing with his feet. My affinity of the 2 children ages 9 months old and 1 year 10 months old was that both were active children. Both had a lot of energy, and kept busy. The 9 month old was just learning how to walk and the 1 year 10 month old had been walking since 11 months old. The 1 year 10 month old is more vocal than the 9 month old, he can say some words and the 9 month old could make noises and sound.The 1 year 10 month old could show mom that he was thirsty and the 9 month old could only cry to signal to grandmother that she was thirsty. The 1 year 10 month old could climb on the sofa where as the 9 month old could only gesture for psyche to pick up and place onto the sofa. I feel these 2 children were pretty much similar to what they could do just that the 1 year 10 month old was little more advanced in completing the things he wanted to do where as the 9 month old needed assistant from someone.
