I have to admit that my boys would love that ball. blush I'm sure your niece thought he'd enjoy it but I'm also sure she wouldn't want him to be upset by it. I'd say just throw it away. No sense in keeping something around that is upsetting him. If he keeps on being upset by grapes and such, cut them open and show him nothing is in there. I'd be very matter of fact about it and treat it like it is no big deal. I'm sure after while he'll forget about it. smile
