Scary New Toy

Today I stopped by Target looking for Fischer-Price Snap-Lock Beads, which they didn't have, and came out with a Playskool Busy Poppin' Pals. I figured that this toy would let John push buttons, pull levers, and switch toggles, all without any electronic sounds or flashing lights. But the poor boy is rather nervous about it all! He's just not an adventurous wild child at heart. Here he is cautiously pushing a button:
Here he is a few seconds later, having jumped backward when an animal popped up:
Here I am, enticing John to push the buttons. Note how he becomes nervous and runs behind me to hide.

Then John stood up so as to flee more quickly from the animals, popping up as if out of nowhere. (Sorry that I forget and filmed sideways.)

And these videos were shot after John had played with this toy over the course of six hours . . . he was still that nervous!
