From my eyes, a sister's eyes...the life of Robb. A guy who is so much more than autism and down-syndrome.

Special Olympics Bowling
A couple days ago, Robb started Special Olympics Bowling!! Though Robb had never bowled before, he really enjoyed his first practice. He changed into bowling shoes with a smile, and though he would rather throw the ball than roll it, he enjoyed watching the ball roll down and hit pins. I think the noise and excitement of bowling also added to Robb's chipper spirit, and he often contributed to the sounds around us with laughs and aaaahhh. One of the great things about bowling is that if Robb understands how to act in a bowling alley, my family will be able to go together. Also, it provides another activity for babysitters to go to with Robb. Unfortunately, all bowling has to be done without anyone helping during the meets, but maybe after a few years of practice, Robb will be able to compete! Until then, we will attend practices, and watch Robb improve one step at a time.
