Observation (describe child’s behaviors, words and questions):
Andrew says that we are building this, note that there is a stack of blocks on the ground built up like a tower. Andrew knocks over some blocks. Andrew says that the blocks are an elevator, going to grandma’s house. Edward agrees and says that grandma’s house is on a hill. Edward begins to point out where blocks need to go to be grandma’s house. Edward makes blocks stack like a house. Edward continues to make block structures and tell the Andrew and the viewer what they are. Andrew also is making structures with blocks but is less vocal.
