Isobel and Angus, aged 21 months, are twins. Their mother is in the kitchen and they are playing together in the front room at home. Their social play is quite advanced, probably as a result of their 'twinship', as they are so very familiar with each other.
They share a banana and Angus initiates a chasing game. He gently pushes Isobel to get her to run, and she joins in happily. When the children are tired of the game, they pretend to go to bed, getting under a blanket together.
Later, they play a ball game together. When it turns into a quarrel and Isobel bangs her head and becomes distressed, Angus does his best to soothe her.
