      Haha yeah, that is usually the case.. But he has been playing with it for a couple hours a day for the last 3 days now so things look promising! We are thinking of putting it away for a week and then take it out for 3 days again, then put it away again and keep rotating like that. This rotation idea works with other toys so it should work with this one too. ;)
