Why Sena’s Juggling Balls Are Resting

Sena’s juggling balls have been silent lately, meaning I’ve not been hearing them hit the floor. She is pretty busy doing other things, like gardening.

But I’m pretty sure another reason is dropping the balls. She and I are probably at about the same learning stage in juggling. She’s trying to get past the hurdles of learning to juggle the cascade pattern. I’m still trying to get past the hurdles of learning the shower juggling pattern.

I practice every day. When I drop the balls (which is very often), I pick them up and try again. Some of my bloopers are funny, so I included them in an ugly juggling video. I don’t include all the bloopers because that would be monotonous in the extreme.

But you can tell I get pretty frustrated—and a little out of breath. I do the usual lunging, grabbing, and faking.

It’s still pretty fun. Keep trying, Sena!

Update: Sena practiced today! The evidence is on the floor:
