Setting,Props Brookline, Carriage House:
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.
