Zen,

These are great suggestions!

The challenge is that DS8 can entertain himself for a seemingly unlimited period of time. He loves attention, but he loves self-determination even more.

Also, he learns from everything I do and has already learned that he can withhold his own attention from me. I don't want it to turn into a battle of who can ignore whom the longest.
