Observation 2: An Observation of Someone who I know well
For this activity, I chose to observe my son, Cayden while he was having his breakfast at the dinner table.
Date: Saturday, February 3
Time: 8:30-8:45
Observed person: My son, Cayden who is two and half years old
Location: Dinner room at home
It was a Saturday morning and I was observing my son, Cayden having his breakfast for a period of 15 minutes. As an observer, I am sitting on the sofa in the living room, which was right across his high chair. He was already sitting in his high chair, eating his cereal with his own blue bowl and Mickey Mouse spoon. He was wearing his favourite baby bib as always. He seems to be still a little bit sleepy as he was yarning couple times. He held up his bowl to drink the milk out of the cereal. He intentionally made his sipping sound quite loud. Soon, he put down his spoon and looked at me. He said: “ Mom, Mom, more milk, more milk!”. His voice seemed to be impatient and he was also pointing his blue bowl when asking for more milk. I did not respond to him. He said again: “ Mom, Mom, milk, milk, Mom, Mom, Mom!” This time, he also tapped his spoon against his bowl. He was getting really impatient now. From his voice, he sounded to be a little bit upset as I typically would have responded to his request by now. Luckily, my husband came in and gave him some more milk. He seemed to be interested in observing how the milk got poured in his bowl as he was starring at the milk container. After having his requested fulfilled, he seemed to be happy as he suddenly started singing the song of “The Wheel On the Bus”. This is his most favourite song-so he must be in a very good mood. He stopped eating. Instead, He started singing, holding his spoon up in the air waving in different direction. He was also nodding and turning around his head left to right, right to left along the rhythm. He probably would have been started dancing and running around the entire house if we play this music as background sound for him. Suddenly, he shouted: “ bird, bird, a bird there!”. He was also pointing using his finger toward the garden. He added: “ I full, I full, get down, Cayden down!”. It sounded that he had lost his interest with the breakfast and now, was ready to explore the outside. I could not help myself but asked my husband about how much he had at breakfast. I was worried that he might not have a full meal this morning.
