Could you get him, maybe, a toy cellphone, or a really
cheap used one?  At this age, he'd be perfectly happy
with that, even if it doesn't actually "work."  He's
more interested in pressing the buttons.  You might also
get him a cheap keyboard of his own and let him pound away
at it, "just like Daddy."  And get him a pair of unbreakable
specs of his own too, or take the lenses out of an old
pair of yours.  (He might poke his eye accidentally with
an earpiece, though, or break the frames leaving sharp
edges, so maybe that isn't such a hot idea!  But maybe
you could let him wear a lenseless pair once in a while
under very close supervision.)
