Third year Day 13 - Thursday December 26, 2013

I gave Bridgett some juggling balls for Christmas.  She used to juggle and actually was quite good at it.  So, I thought it would be good for her to try again and work on her coordination.  She thought she'd be able to do it and so she was disappointed at first when she dropped the balls.  However, I explained to her that it would just take some practicing to be able to do it again.  She was determined to get it under control today, which of course didn't happen.  However, she started out by just tossing up one ball at a time and catching it.  That took a little practice and then she was able to do it.  Then she tried holding two balls in one hand and tossing one at a time up and catching it.  She finally could do that at least three times without dropping one.  Next she tried holding a ball in each hand and throwing to the opposite hand and catching.  She finally got that three times in a row.  She plans on practicing that and hopefully one day she will be able to juggle again with three balls!
