He had no knowledge of online games especially MMO. It appeared his favorite thing to do was the emotes…/dance /fart /train …he found the human male dance hysterical.

I agree there is definately alot of education in the game with completing tasks, rewards, achievements that parallel to real life.

It is especially benefical when you play with your child in completing tasks and as a parent you get some tips on better communication skills, how to present the information to them for an understanding at whatever age group they are etc.

Its awesome.

Don’t ever try to skip a word, phrase, or worse yet, “rewrite” a beloved story with a 3 year old…

If you do, the original will be quoted back at you, word for word, grammatical mistakes corrected.

Apparently the 4-year-old really enjoys that.

Wish I could find someone to level my mage’s fishing for me, xD

“No Daddy I want the bubbles!” – adorable.

That’s pretty independent for a 3 year old. I think I started reading to myself when I was 9.

Sigh. Motherhood.”

Your wife is win. You are a lucky gnome. ~_^
