Wii love bowling!

Jaxson has been introduced to a new rite of passage in our family.  The Nintendo Wii.  Justin thought it would be fun to teach him bowling.  And while I thought it was a good idea, I also knew that Jax hates to lose and whenever he loses on Angry Birds, he gets so mad.  I wasn't too optimistic that this would turn out like the vision in Justin's head.

But I was wrong. 

After a couple of tries, Jax got the hang of bowling.  And he loves it.  He does get frustrated when he gets a "Gutterball!", but when we remind him that games are fun and if he's not having fun, it gets put away, he straightens up pretty quick. 

Most times.

Jaxson gets a kick out of the Mii's too.  You basically design your own character.  The last time we designed Jaxson, he was a toddler.  But he must have requested sunglasses and a red shirt cause that is what Mii Jaxson was wearing. 

But when he realized that he could change his shirt and wear hats, mustaches, beards, etc. he was beyond excited.  Let me show you an example:

This is me.  (or Mii)  Pretty normal, and kinda resembles Mii.  (or me)

This is Jaxson:

Yes, this is my son.  The Beatnik Poet.  He decided to change his shirt to black.  So he was still looking normal. But when he found out he could have a beard...it was all over!  He thought that it was so cool.  When Justin tried to change it to blonde, he didn't like that.  He wanted it to stay black.  Jax is very proud of his Mii.  And really, who wouldn't be?

And Jax is pretty good too.  You have to consider that when he throws his ball, he either spins around and then rolls it, or runs and rolls it.  Accuaracy may not be his way of doing it, but he has fun.  He even broke a 100 at one game and come closes every time.

And as you can see in this picture I was very proud of my record.  Most times I tie with Jax.  Which means that either Jax is a bowling prodigy or I really stink at bowling. 

Yeah, I think Jaxson must be a bowling prodigy too.
