So we know we were getting as much out of it as we could and by the last day my mom, Grammie -- who we brought along as our childcare and extra set of hands for babies/Shane -- asked, "Are we going to do this every year?" And she asked this with a bright smile on her face, even though her knees were killing her and she was ready for a nap at 11am.

Dr. Rotwang!'s Daughter's First D&DGame This is a great article of how one dad introduced D&D to his daughter of only 5.5 years.

Intention: This D&D dada waited for his daughter to ask to play! I gotta say, I don't know if can do it. Based on this very simple yet integrity filled example of D&D gameplay, I am totally itching to test my DMing skills on my 3.5 year old.
