World of Warcraft as a four year old boy.

My wife and I restarted playing WoW. We have a 4 year old son.

he watches us play, and I let him control the character. We made him a goblin hunter. We got to a town, and he stays in the town and talks to "my family"

"That's my granddad," he says, and clicks on the inn keeper, who is more friendly than the other goblins.

"And that's my princess," he says, clicking on the priest trainer. "Dad, how can I give her flowers?"

I think for a minute. "We'll be herbalists. Then we can pick flowers and, uh, you can give them to her."

"Let's do it!" He shouts.

He is frustrated that he cannot pick the red flowers. "she likes the red ones, though." When I explain the game wasn't designed for those flowers to be picked, and that we have to find different red flowers he nods. He seems to understand "It wasn't programmed to do that," but I am sad that I can't help him immediately.

I have a plan: I will level up his hunter, put him back in this zone, then when he wants, I will help him travel somewhere with red herbs to pick, for his princess.

Before this, he and I made a "Cow hunter" (that is to say, a Tauren hunter) and with that character, he was most interested in using the /sleep command to lay perfectly on the beds in the Inn, and with eating food by the fire with my wife's character, his mom.

We absolutely had a World of Warcraft picnic next to Thunder Bluff.

Also, there is a quest to rescue 5 captured Tauren. I've only rarely seen him so distressed --once you have rescued 5 Tauren, the quest mechanics switch to "return to the person who gave you the quest" and you can't free anyone else --you don't have any more keys, or something. "But they need my help!" he said, more than once. I reassured him someone else would come to save them, soon.
