Let's Bowl

Let's Bowl
In February Tamara was invited to a little boys Birthday Party at the Bowling Alley.
Her first off Campus preschool related event. She was excited. Another party Yay!!!

I have to be honest here.. Mommy doesn't bowl. In fact I haven't tried it in over 20 years. During my BB era.. that would be Before Bruce.. I went bowling on a date. Threw the ball once.. broke 2 nails and said. "Nah... not my sport". You have to keep in mind back in the 80's breaking a nail was a devastating and expensive event.
Anyway Tamara seems to enjoy the sport and since the rails are up for her... Mommy should be able to keep it out of the gutter. ;o) So we will probably take her again on some rainy afternoon.

Below Tamara looks for guidance..
"What do I do Mommy?"
"Beats me Baby Girl"
"SO I just throw the ball?"

Tamara sits with her classmates. Time for Pizza.. which she won't eat. She only eats white pizza. Seems to have an issue with tomato sauce? Weird as she likes tomatoes and Ketchup.

Tamara with her little friend.. hug. So cute together.
Most of the girls hug Tamara every day at school. Especially if she leaves before they do. They have actually lined up and waited their turn. Very Sweet!

Tamara picks up the ball while her buddy Zachary plays in the lane next door.

Time for cake

This is Tamara's first attempt at Bowling.
I asked one of the other Moms that actually has bowled the last 20 years to show Tamara what to do. A free lesson. ;o)
A learned something here. Expect the unexpected at all times. Now I know what it feels like to have your heart stop.




Tamara's 2nd throw / roll. I think she's getting it.. don't you?

Zach and Tamara.. side by side bowling their first time together. Notice neither one paid any attention to the ball. Cute stuff.

So Tamara attended her first preschool Birthday party for a BOY, her first attempt at Bowling.. no broken nails by the way. lol.

I was very impressed by the invitation. Instead of gifts they requested non perishable food for a local food bank. When I asked the Mom about it.. I was curious as I wondered if 4 was too young for the kids to "get that". The mom explained that the Birthday boy was her 3rd child and she has been doing this with her kids for years. So her little 4 year old was very agreeable and excited about doing this to help others.

Way cool... no?
