Bowling

Oldest’s preschool class takes a lot of field trips. They focus on social skills for young children and getting them out into the community is a big part of that. They recently went bowling. Neither my husband nor I co-op’d that day so we didn’t see him bowl. But last week while on Spring Break we took a trip to the bowling alley.

Oldest was very excited. He got a 6 lb. blue bowling ball and some bowling shoes. The lane bumpers were raised and he was ready to go. He understands how to hold the ball and the swinging motion, but having little fingers he used two hands to throw. Some of the throws were slightly overhand, but he managed to get the ball down the lane. He was patient waiting for his turn. All in all it was a fun experience. He even called some of my husband’s strikes.

Two games were played and oldest scores were 54 and 69 respectively. Not bad for a 4yr old.
