Leago | Awareness of Camera, Self-regulation, Connect/disconnect, Feeding, Maternal Presence/Absence, Frustration

Leago is lying in the living room on his back. He is under his toy gym. There is a toy piano at his feet. He becomes aware of the filmmaker and camera and granny and mom notice and comment on this. Leago becomes unsettled and starts to cry. Mom waits longer than before to attend to him, picking him up, apologising, and tying to soothe him. He feeds distractedly, crying often, and mom asks “what’s the matter?”. She changes position to try to find a way to calm Leago. She expresses her own frustration with comments like “You are tiresome”. Mom continues to wonder what is distressing Lee.
