We got Trey the Busy Ball Popper for his 1st birthday:

The reviews looked great. Who can pass up "giggles are guaranteed?" He loves chasing balls around the room, so I thought this would be perfect. He played with it for a few days without batteries, just rolling the balls down the chute. Then we got the batteries. When you turn it on, Trey crawls as fast as his skinny legs will take him away from it and starts screaming and crying. He is so scared of the toy! It is actually pretty funny, but Joe and I try to be good parents and not turn it on often. But sometimes we can't resist. Are we horrible?
