But he won't play all day every day, just as YOU won't do anything all day
every day. We all take breaks and get tired of things and get interested in
other things and get side-tracked. Let him play until he has his fill. THEN
he'll surprise you by asking to do something you NEVER thought he would. But
you'll have to give him the time HE needs to get the game out of his system.
It's a trust thing.

Almost all of us have been through this. As adults, it's allowed. We can read
or clean or watch TV or garden or paint or shop to our heart's content. But
children don't get the opportunity to get their fill of something---there are
ALWAYS limits! Trust your smart, sweet boy to play as long as he needs to.
It'll pass.
