How can you successfully make a lampshade with a 4-year-old boy kicking around?

1. Postpone interruptions with promises of ‘in a minute’ until child reaches non-stop whining point.
2. Accept the disturbance and just do/give whatever child wants.
3. Limit subsequent interruptions by giving them an ‘adult job’.
4. Take pleasure in child’s imagination and skill.

Voila! One beautiful lampshade and one happy lampshade-maker in the, well, making.
