(Fluff) My 3 year old and I bond over videogames. She asked me for a computer the other day so she could play WoW. Made me smile.

So I've always been a gamer, but I'm lucky to be a dad of a 3.5 year old little girl as well. She used to sit in my lap and "play" with my (wireless mouse turned off). She eventually figured out the mouse was unplugged and wanted to play normally.

I introduced her to the WoW character creation screen, which is basically her favorite thing ever. She struggles to get the mouse where she wants, but she's gotten really good at making characters (I have to name them so they'll save) and telling me who they are in our family. My account currently has both aunts, Grandma and Grandpa, Mommy, daddy, and several iterations of herself. Amazingly, she's more than 50% accurate in identifying characters she's made (that's Daddy! That's me!) She asks to play Warcraft by saying "let's make me!", referring to making herself in character creation. She also enjoys the blood elf starting area ("let's get the tree monsters!")

The other day we're in Costco, she's in the cart, and they have a big display of computers by the door. We walk by and she points at the computers in general. "Look dad! That would be perfect in my room to make me."

My 3 year old wants a computer so she can play WoW in her room. I've never been so proud (she's not getting one).
