I know 10yr olds were getting in to it about 5 years ago. That feels like the seeds are planted

I've had the same thoughts. :-)

You absolutely will. I just got back into it after a 25 year hiatus, and playing with young people that weren't even born back then, and having a blast in the process.

There's a thriving comunity out there, and so far I've been welcome with open arms every time I've reached out.

look for “D&D Encounters” in your area. This is very common in game stores and they’re designed for drop-in players or first timers to try out D&D. This is how I got back into D&D 10 years back after not having played since the early ‘90s.

Haha, I have no issues finding people to play with, but trying to find a solid block of a few hours of time is impossible.

You don’t need to wait. I run a group with a schedule specifically designed for parents of young children. (virtual, short sessions, immediately after bedtime). There are others!
