| Episode A: at 00:03 |
Bob: I’m going to put you back with your toys. We will stop right now for a little moment…. Here we go, Peg. I’m going to put you back with these things, and I’m not going to let you escape. Not for a little while, till the end of the tape. |

Peggy: [Brushing aside a block, lifting a rod to mouth, dropping it, she bites the rim of a cup several times, says ~”anh” then bangs it on the floor] [banging the floor another 14 times, she scrapes the wood floor with her LH fingers then starts “scraping” movements of the cup across the wood surface] |
| Episode C: at 00:49 |
[Losing her grip on it, the cup rolls away till corralled by the lamp wire. Peggy watches and crawls to reach and mouth it] Peggy: [begins banging the cup on the floor and the lamp wire] Bob: Peggy, no. Stay away from the wire. |

Peggy: NVV (quietly) ~”anh”, /aen/ Peggy: [holding the cup in her teeth then banging it twice on the floor ] NVV (out loud) (~”anh”, /aen/) Bob: [imitating] NVV (~anh?”) [Peggy smiles. Continued in clip P036E] [End 01:39] |

| AI Summary: | as Contents List Summary: – Bob tells Peggy he’s putting her back with her toys and won’t let her “escape” until the end of the tape. – Peggy brushes aside a block, lifts a rod to her mouth, drops it, then bites the rim of a cup and vocalizes “anh.” – She bangs the cup on the floor repeatedly (about 14 times). – Peggy scrapes the wood floor with her left-hand fingers, then scrapes the cup across the surface. – The cup slips, rolls away, and is stopped by a lamp wire; Peggy watches, crawls to retrieve, and mouths it. – She begins banging the cup on the floor and against the lamp wire. – Bob intervenes, telling Peggy to stay away from the wire. – Peggy quietly produces NVV vocalization “anh” (/aen/). – Holding the cup in her teeth, she bangs it twice more and vocalizes “anh” louder. – Bob imitates her NVV; Peggy smiles, and the session is noted to continue in clip P036E. |
| AI Narrative: | A brief home video segment captures a quiet moment of exploratory play between a caregiver, Bob, and an infant, Peggy. The setting appears simple—floor, toys, a cup, and a nearby lamp wire—providing a backdrop for a short, focused interaction. Bob announces a pause in activity and places Peggy among her toys, framing the scene as a contained moment, “till the end of the tape.” The tone is calm and observational, setting expectations that this will be a short, guided interval. Peggy’s attention turns quickly to a cup. She explores it with her hands and mouth, brushing aside a block, lifting a rod, and then biting the rim of the cup repeatedly. Her vocalizations—soft sounds like “anh”—accompany her actions. The cup becomes an object for varied experimentation: banging it on the floor, scraping it across the wood, and letting it roll away when her grip loosens. Her gaze follows the cup as it moves, and she crawls after it, demonstrating focused attention and goal-directed movement. The environment introduces an obstacle: a lamp wire that halts the cup’s momentum and captures Peggy’s interest. When she begins to bang the cup near the wire, Bob intervenes with a clear boundary: “Peggy, no. Stay away from the wire.” The guidance is brief and firm, redirecting attention without escalating the interaction. Peggy continues her exploration, maintaining soft vocal play and returning to the cup as a safe, familiar object within reach. Throughout, Peggy alternates between mouthing, banging, scraping, and vocalizing. These actions reflect common aspects of early sensorimotor exploration—testing sounds, textures, and cause-and-effect. The repeated “anh”-like sounds and the tactile experimentation with the cup highlight how infants combine sound-making with object play, often using the same item in multiple ways to probe what it can do. The floor becomes both a surface for sound and a stage for movement, while the cup serves as a versatile tool for discovery. The clip concludes with a moment of social exchange: Bob imitates Peggy’s vocalization, and Peggy smiles in response. This brief imitation signals attunement and encourages further engagement, linking Peggy’s exploratory play with early communication. In a concise span, the video documents a recognizable scene of everyday learning—structured by gentle limits, driven by curiosity, and enriched by simple, shared sounds. |
