I’ve got a little pro!

Hi all! I took my Paul for the 1st special games bowling a couple of Fridays ago. It went horribly at first, and we actually had to leave b/c he was so overwhelmed. I drove him around for awhile and then asked if he wanted to go back. He did, and he did bowl a couple of times, but mostly just sat and held the ball in his lap. He would start to get up for a turn, and then just run back to me and sit. It made me so sad.

Then, the next Friday night we went again. Little mister pro picked his ball, got in a lane, and proceeded to get several spares, and generally knock down at least 4 or 5 pins each turn. The whole place cheered for him when he got his first spare...scared him to death hahaha. 

That part was great, but the greatest was that he cheered for the other kids when they bowled, and even patted one on the back! Then he INTRODUCED me to one kid!!!! He put his arm around the kid's shoulder, and indicated the kid with his other hand, and said "THis is Mark." and then "THis is my Mom" !!! I was floored! I was so very proud of him. I'm anxious to see what happens this Friday night!

Just had to brag a little

That is awesome!  I'm so glad you decided to take him.

Thanks! Only people here would understand! I love this board

WOW - I think its awesome that you persisted and took him back - way to go
