Thanks, Grandma Kandy

This post is alternatively titled "Video Overload". Consider yourself warned.

Anson got a few packages this Christmas from Grandma Kandy. She has a real knack for selecting just the right gifts for our little guy.

He loves his shape sorter, and even the box it came in.

I'm still not sure why he decided to put it on his head, but I couldn't resist taking a picture of my little block head.

We opened the ball popper and I set to work putting it together. I was a little disappointed at first because I couldn't figure out how to make it work. The balls simply wouldn't POP. I read the instructions again and couldn't figure it out. In a last ditch effort I checked the batteries and realized that they had a best by date of 2007. Seriously? I guess it's time to organize the battery drawer. Luckily we had another set, and you can see from the videos that Anson loves his new toy.

He loves pushing the balls to keep them from coming out the chute. I guess it's more fun when they all pop out in rapid succession.

It's a hand clapping, foot stomping good time.
