He ended up crying during EVERY practice...but we kept going back. The look that I always got from the owners of the alley I interpreted as one of confusion--as if to say, "Why are you torturing your child when obviously he 'hates it'?" It took a while, ok, a long while, but now there is no hint of "being tortured" when we go bowling. :) Matt started Special Olympics bowling when he was 8.

Yeah I can imagine your horror but we don't really care what other people think -- we just care that Monkey had a good time doing what he does best. Always try something a few times before we give up on it. Thanks for the update.

Way overstimulating. Cudos to you for trying again. We will.....one of these days. Glad Monkey did better. Little gains make for happy hearts! Yeah, Ian’s gone bowling once. Way overstimulating.
