3V0233.07 Object Permanence and Throwing Away Toys |

Peggy sat in my lap, Sunday, playing with her rattle. The chair had several inches of space between the wooden arm and the seat cushion. Peggy’s legs dangled over mine at the left near that gap. She threw her rattle over the arm of the chair and immediately twisted about in my lap to look for the rattle through the gap of the chair arm and cushion.

RELEVANCE — The first incident testifies to Peggy’s experimenting with objects and space.
