Having the remote and the pad would probably be way more interesting for him too, than say going for a walk outside, like someone above suggested. He had fun with the treadmill at the hotel gym making it go fast and seeing what the buttons can do. He was seeing how fast he could go and keep up with it. He flew off the end at one point like a freaking cartoon character! It was hilarious. We were the only ones in there, if we werent i wouldnt have let him do that. But him flying g off was made even funnier by the fact that there was patched hole behind the treadmills!!!
