...beginning last Nov.
- Step 1: Being horribly afraid of the machine and not wanting anything to do with it.
- Step 2: Slightly intrigued by the machine, if kept at a far distance.
- Step 3: Enjoys watching the balls fly out, even giggles at it, but still not getting too close.
- Step 4: Gets close enough to reach for a ball
- Step 5: Can't get enough of the machine and sticks her face as close as possible to get the air to fly through her hair.
- Step 6: Learns that pushing the red handle starts the music and air.
- Step 7: Runs over to the machine and starts it, but once all the balls pop out, game over.
- Step 8: Learns to pick up the balls and put them back into the machine!
Step 8 is huge! Just last Sat. I was saying how nice it would be if she actually picked up the balls. I think part of the fun for her is supposed to be chasing the balls, but usually we (Jeff and I) are the ones that end up going to get them.

You forgot one step -- crazy cousin visits and attempts to break the machine. :)
We are about at step 4-5. We think it sounds like a slot machine! Pretty funny!
Yes, I probably forgot a step which is shoving toys into the popper which don't belong. Gus put in one of her shape-sort pieces and then it had to go up on the shelf for the rest of his visit because it was "broken".
Erika - I agree it does sound like a slot machine, right at the beginning when you press the lever. I wish money came out every once in a while.
