Bowling with Max

{The very first time Max tried bowling, he was a natural. He shocked me by instantly knowing the correct way to hold the ball. I didn't think you transitioned from bowling through your legs until you were in your teens...but in hindsight, maybe that was just me. Max bowled amazingly well and I thought I would post the evidence here. Sadly, today's round wasn't nearly as graceful. Now I am full of second thoughts on the bowling league I signed him up for.}

He was really excited to bowl today.

And then his alter-ego came out. This look should have warned me of the violent bowling session that would ensue.

Chanting his usual pre-bowl mantra of "ready, set..."

He took a backswing

And then, proceeded to pound the pins into the ground over and over until I intervened for the life of the hardwood floor.

His career as a professional bowler has been put on hold temporarily.

So what you are saying is I should return that bowling shirt I had made for him?

BTW your blog looks cute!
