| Actors,Aims | Peggy and Mom; Bob on camera. Document early object interactions |
| Episode A: [00:00:03.18] | Bob: You want to say that again? Mom: I had a feeling she was turning around to me, half expecting some food since she had the bib there. And she never sees it except when she’s being fed. Bob: [puts 2 each of cups, blocks, sticks on table] Peggy: [reaches right for, pushes away cups] [left arm brushes aside blocks, knocks them away] Peggy: [focuses on left hand, surface; hits stick and it rolls off to floor; repeats with 2nd stick] Bob: [restores both to table; adds a napkin on table right] |
| Episode B: [00:00:32.05] | Peggy: [looking at napkin, swings small stick in left hand, knocking most objects off table] Mom: Pretty good. Nearly clean sweep. Peggy: [hurls small stick; left hand knocks off block] Bob: Oh, you got that one, too, Peggy. [restores objects to table] Bob: [unclear verbal while retrieving objects] |
| Episode C: [00:01:08.06] | Peggy: [looking at blocks, reaches left for cup] Mom: [moves cup front and center for Peggy] Peggy: [pushes cup away, trying to insert fingers, succeeds, tips cup over and off table] [with the cup lost, her hands come together and clasp] |
| Episode D: [00:01:19.19] | Mom: [returns the cup to main focus for Peggy; then the long stick and large cup] Peggy: [no instant focus; hits stick off table] Mom: Ta-da. [restoring long stick to table] Peggy: [grasps long stick at end, hits chair arm, raises hand end near mouth][lowers, holds it as a tool or arm extension] Mom: Can you see the grip she has on it? Bob: Yeah. Peggy: [inserts left hand fingers into small cup, opens mouth, raising cup, stick-hand aids, drops it, knocks away] Peggy: [raises stick hand to mouth, lowers, knocks cup off table] |
| Episode E: [00:02:24.21] | Peggy: [moving legs moves table] Mom: [NVV] Well, then have that one. Peggy: [ begins raising table edge] Bob: [returns objects] Just get them straight, spread, (unclear}, spread out a bit, (minimal speech clear to 3:14 “I feel threatened”) Peggy: [grasps long stick at end, swings free, up to mouth], [repeats a similar action three times] Mom: I feel threatened back here every time she waves that over her shoulder. |
| Episode F: [00:03:18.05] | Peggy: [extends stick over chair arm, drops it] Bob: She definitely dropped that over the edge of the arm. Mom: Yes. Bob: Would you believe or claim that she did it on purpose?… Mom: I would be willing to believe that, yes…. It looked as though she just did it to see what would happen when she let go of it. |
| Episode G: [00:03:44.16] | Peggy: [pushes, rolls stick, loses it under the table] Mom: You didn’t quite get it…. [returns to table] There it is. Peggy: [bumps, pushes, then grasps stick, holds off table] Mom: Now she’s trying to push it under the arm of the chair. |
| Episode H: [00:04:22.29] | Bob: Well, maybe she’s trying to get rid of all the things. If it were Miriam at this point, I’d expect her to say something like “dumb experiment.” Mom: They keep throwing all these things away,… and they keep coming back. |
| Episode I: [00:04:45.07] | Peggy: [ examines table surface by sight and touch, raises table edge] Mom: I don’t know if she’ll figure out that if she just– (interruption) |
| Episode J: [00:05:02.09] | Bob: Does it look as though she’s trying to move the table?… Peggy: NVV Bob: It’s surely moving a lot more than it was before. Peggy: [tilts up her edge of the table] Bob: It looks as though she’s starting to…. [restoring table] I’ll have to put it back here. Mom: Oh, gee, that gets rid of everything in one swell foof. |
| Episode K: [00:05:42.05] | Bob: Hey, what… How about I give Miriam a call and ask her if she’ll try to play with Peggy for a little bit? Mom: Okay. |

| Summary by AI |
Bob, Mom, and infant Peggy are interacting at a table with simple objects (cups, blocks, sticks, napkin). Setup: Bob places two each of cups, blocks, and sticks on the table; Peggy immediately pushes cups and blocks away and knocks sticks off. Object clearing: Peggy repeatedly sweeps and knocks most items off the table, prompting Mom’s “nearly clean sweep” remark; Bob restores items multiple times. Cup exploration: Peggy focuses on a small cup, tries inserting fingers, tips it over and off the table; later reengages with the cup using both hands. Stick use: Peggy grasps the long stick, alternates between bringing it toward her mouth and using it as an arm extension/tool, and knocks items away. Intentional dropping: Peggy extends the stick over the chair arm and drops it; Mom believes she did it on purpose “to see what would happen.” Persistence: Peggy pushes/rolls the stick under the table, then retrieves and manipulates it again, sometimes holding it off the table’s edge. Table manipulation: Peggy increasingly moves, tilts, and raises the table edge, seemingly exploring how to clear objects in one motion. Parental observations: Bob and Mom comment on intentionality, safety (“feel threatened” by waving stick), and the repetitive “throw-away/return” cycle. Wrap-up: After a big tilt “gets rid of everything,” Bob suggests calling Miriam to play with Peggy; Mom agrees. |
| Narrative by AI |
A short tabletop session captures a caregiver team—identified in the audio as Bob and Mom—placing simple objects within reach of an infant, Peggy. The setup includes pairs of cups, blocks, and sticks arranged on a small table. From the outset, Peggy engages by pushing cups away and brushing aside blocks, with several objects rolling off the surface. The caregivers periodically restore items to the table and add a napkin, adjusting the arrangement to keep materials available within Peggy’s reach. Peggy’s actions center on contact and movement: swatting objects, rolling sticks off the edge, and tipping a cup after inserting her fingers. At various points she clasps her hands when an object is lost from view or reach, then re-engages when items are returned. The interaction is punctuated by comments from Mom and Bob noting near “clean sweeps” of the tabletop and offering encouragement while repositioning objects to encourage further exploration. A recurring focus is Peggy’s grip and use of a long stick. She holds it at the end, taps the chair arm, brings the hand end toward her mouth, then lowers it to use as a kind of arm extension. With the smaller cup, she coordinates both hands—one aiding the other—to lift, mouth, and then release or knock it away. This pattern repeats, with the stick alternately serving as a manipulable object and a tool that influences other items on the table. As the session progresses, Peggy experiments more with edges and gravity. She extends the stick over the chair arm and lets it drop; the adults briefly discuss whether this was intentional. She then pushes and rolls the stick until it is lost under the table, locates it again by feeling, and appears to test pushing it under the chair arm. Throughout, she examines the tabletop by sight and touch, gradually shifting attention from individual items to the surface and boundaries that govern where objects go. Finally, Peggy starts to move the table itself, raising and tilting the near edge. This action dislodges multiple items at once, prompting a dry remark from Mom about clearing everything “in one swell foof.” Bob considers involving an older child, Miriam, to join the play. The sequence ends with the caregivers continuing to reset the environment as Peggy alternates between object-by-object exploration and broader manipulations of the surface that determine what stays, what falls, and how things return. |
