Jake is three years and three months old. I have known him since birth and have always found him to be an outgoing young child who has always been willing to talk to anyone after the initial shyness wears off. I have seen him develop linguistically through Brown's developmental stages. Without a second thought, he was the child I chose to observe for this language sample.
This language sample was taken on October 12 at his home. I was going to their house for dinner and due to traffic, arrived a bit later than expected. The kids had already eaten and Jake was growing tired. The following is the list of utterances from Jake in a twenty minute time frame.

They're Dad's keys
Dad, here are your keys
No I'm not hungry

Thanks
I finished my milk
All done

You have to mom
Can Daddy
Can you Daddy
Can you carry me up to my bed
I want to go to my bed now......
