Episode A: [00:00:06] |
Bob: Here’s a bunch of stuff, Peggy. You’ve played with a lot of them before…. What do you think about all that? Peggy: [manipulates objects given her to 1:01 while parents talk] Bob: How if I loosen that seat belt so she can go forward? Or ain’t that an issue? Excuse me, sweetie. Let me take this off you… Gross, isn’t it?… Let me get that out…. |
Episode B: [00:01:18] |
Peggy: [surveys, mouths, handles, manipulates objects] Bob: What was she doing there? Mom: It looks as though she picked up the block and was trying to put it in the cup. Bob: Let me bring this back within your reach, Peg. [reaching down to her lap] Well, let’s get this one out of here. Peggy: [manipulates objects before her, inserts block in cup, continues manipulation to 2:40] Bob: It’s like a lot of stuff is beyond her reach now. Let’s call a general (halt? ) and can get all the stuff back on the table for her. Okay? Will you get the stuff on the mirror side of the thing (table?), Gretchen? |
Episode C: [00:03:04] |
Bob: Okay, Peg, we’re getting all your goodies back to play with again. Every little piece. Bob: Hey, you still got the block in that one. I guess she leaves it there. Okay. We seem to be missing a block somewhere…. Here you go, sweetie. Okay, it’s up to you now, Peggy. Bob: I don’t think we should get the stuff for her anymore. Mom: Okay. Bob: Let her just throw it away. Peggy: [appears to try to make a sound; no real vocalization] Bob: Ha-ha? [response to Peggy’s attempt] |
Episode D: [00:03:58] |
Bob: Does she have something in her other hand that she’s holding under the table? Can you see that direction? You need to look from the side. Mom: Yeah…. She’s got the orange stick. Bob: Let’s see if she thinks of using that to get anything else. That would be very surprising. Peggy: [swings the orange stick several times; then appears to take aim at the small block, loses the stick in possible attempted grasp, hits hand on table] |
Episode E: [00:04:34] |
Bob: All got away from you, sweetie?… Yes. I said we couldn’t do anything for you?… Let me bring them all back. Bob: And here’s this greenie, (large cup) too. Peggy: [Picks up long stick, mouths it. manipulates cup, blocks] Bob: Okay, she’s going to the top rim of small cup (after first mouthing the lower rim) Peggy: [manipulates objects until out of reach or sight at 5:50] Peggy: [shifts focus to objects in her lap as well as on table] Bob: What’cha got down there, Peg? {Can?} You put it on the table?… Peggy: [lifts the small cup to her mouth]… NVV… |
Episode F: [00:06:46] |
Bob: Okay, let’s stop here for a little while… Oh, I don’t know, let’s go on a little longer… Probably we’re having flickering problems with the TV set. |
Episode G: [00:07:15] |
Bob: Can you tell, Gretchen, what she has in her lap and what she’s doing? If you go to the side closer by the hearth, you should be able to see. You know, Robby was trying to do that earlier, weren’t you, Rob? Mom: Ah, there’s a block, the smallest block = Bob: Go pick it up and put it on the table. Mom: … Under her leg. |
Episode H: [00:07:45] |
Mom: She also has the orange stick underneath her shirt. Bob: Pretty surprising, Peggy…. What’d you do that for? Okay, I think we should probably stop this and play with these particular things at this point. [end 00:07:57] |

Summary by AI |
Peggy explores and manipulates various objects on a table while Bob and Mom observe and comment. Bob loosens Peggy’s seat belt to allow her to lean forward and reach more items. Peggy repeatedly mouths, handles, and surveys objects; she successfully puts a block into a small cup. Items drift out of Peggy’s reach; the parents briefly consider resetting the objects but then decide not to fetch them for her. Peggy attempts a vocalization; Bob responds encouragingly. She holds an orange stick under the table, then swings it and seems to aim for a small block, but loses grip and bumps her hand. Bob returns several items to the play area, including a “greenie” cup; Peggy continues mouthing and exploring cup rims and blocks. Peggy shifts attention between objects on the table and in her lap, occasionally lifting the small cup to her mouth. Parents note a smallest block under her leg and discover the orange stick tucked under her shirt, remarking on the surprise. After some discussion (including a note about TV flicker), they decide to stop the session with these objects. |
Narrative by AI |
Peggy shows interest in handling, mouthing, and surveying the objects, shifting attention between those on the table and those in her lap. At one point, she inserts a block into a small cup and continues manipulating both the cup and other pieces. The observers comment on what they see, identifying when Peggy seems to be attempting to place objects together and when items are missing or out of sight. Their comments provide a running account of her actions and the status of the materials. A particularly notable moment occurs when Peggy holds an orange stick under the table and then swings it several times. The adults speculate whether she might use it to retrieve other items, describing such a behavior as surprising were it to occur. Peggy appears to take aim at a small block with the stick but loses her grip, briefly hitting her hand on the table. The observers continue to reset the play space, returning objects like a “green” large cup and remarking on Peggy’s shift in focus from the lower to the upper rim of the small cup. Throughout the session, Peggy alternates between objects in front of her and those in her lap. The adults try to determine what she is handling out of sight, sometimes moving to different vantage points to see more clearly. They identify the smallest block under her leg and note that the orange stick has ended up tucked under her shirt. Peggy also lifts the small cup to her mouth and briefly attempts vocalization, though no clear sound is recorded. The session closes with discussion about whether to stop or continue, alongside a mention of possible flickering on the TV used in recording. The overall scene captures a child’s exploratory play with simple objects, interspersed with adult commentary and occasional assistance. It highlights how small adjustments to the environment—object placement, seating position, and the visibility of items—shape what a child can reach, notice, and attempt during a short period of focused manipulation. |
