We were very excited to attend cousin Olivia's birthday this afternoon. It was a bowling party. Cash loved bowling the first time he tried it and couldn't wait to see his cousins. It is hard to be patient and wait through all the turns, but he does a great job. When we got his shoes on he asked if it was his turn and I said pretty soon and reminded him everyone gets two turns. He saw the ramp used to help the little kids bowl and said "Mommy I don't want to use that." Immediately I began to launch into the reasons he might want to use the ramp, but he came wearing his t-shirt backwards to the party (which if you know me wasn't easy to do) so I just told myself to let it go.
What a great time we had! Cash never once complained about how he bowled and was proud every time he threw that ball down the lane. And at the end of the game Cash didn't have the highest score, or the lowest score and it really didn't matter. He played the game the way he wanted to and mom didn't interfere. In this case it really was all about "how you play the game."
For baby Ryan today was all about making googly eyes and laughing with his Aunties and Uncles. He wanted so badly to get down and have some bowling fun too. I really don't think he sees himself as any different from Cash. Watch out when he starts walking that's for sure!
