was time to stop and pick up before having a snack. Emanuel gathers up the toy blocks, places them back in the toy chest, and closes the lid. Both children wanted to continue playing and were upset as Emanuel was taking the blocks away. However, Emanuel noticed his brother and niece behaved differently in response to the blocks being put into the toy chest.

Yet, for the niece, the blocks no longer exist and she just played with the next toy that she could find.
