Actually, I'd like to correct what Dennis said about the Bumble Ball.  The toy
the gang really enjoys is something called a Squiggle Ball (a small round ball
that moves smoothly around by itself).  The Bumble Ball, a toy designed for
toddlers, has a round center with rubbery appendages...and it bounces about
somewhat erratically on the little legs.  The gang has played with a Bumble
Ball before and HATED it.  It is somewhat large, and just when they'd get up
the nerve to go over and sniff it, it would change direction and bonk them
(hard) in the nose.  Not a fun toy after that.
