chocolate. she amuses herself for the most part in imaginative play. Or she can follow a bug crawling on the ground for an hour, just to see where it goes and what it does. Or...she will watch the adults, and maybe want to HELP in whatever task the adult is doing, to be a part of the grownup world.
