I'm hoping we can stay to the end, but most likely we'll have to bail.

Remember she is 4…make sure she has a good experience

That's the intention.

momowagon

She's 4...there's a high chance she'll be bored before the game even starts.

Get up and walk around… a lot.

Then what do I do?

momowagon

Just do it during breaks. Too many people go in and out constantly and during the actual plays.
