happiness is the most annoying toy EVER

We bought Beck a Busy Ball Popper about a year ago knowing that he was too young for it but thinking he might enjoy watching the balls.  Well, this thing is LOUD.  Beck was terrified and screamed at the sight of the thing.  Every four months or so we'd take it out to see if Beck would warm up to it but, nope -- still terrified.

Until recently.

Now Beck braves the noise and is in love with his Ball Popper. He's so cute trying to catch the balls and exclaiming "uh-oh" whenever they pop onto the floor. If only they would invent a toy like this that's quiet.
