J is for...

My developing juggling prowess (and I am not referring to my mastery at multitasking here) proved a HUGE hit among the three-year old crowd today.

This is "Letter J" week, and Mondays are the day that the Young Prince has been chosen to bring an object representative of the letter of the week to his preschool classroom. His idea, I swear, was to bring "juggle." So did I have a choice?

I let him bring the hackeysacks in his backypack, and then the Princesita, who had a Short Day (are these kids ever in school anymore, really? Geez louise...) accompanied me to her old stomping ground and sat with the younger crowd while I proceeded to juggle two with one hand, then three with both, as young three-year old eyes grew with wonder.

They even applauded. What good kids. I am sure I reminded them of a circus clown--

The teacher said she loved the sound of the sacks as they hit my hand. I admit, in a zen-sort of way it is a nice sound, and the beanies inside really make them feel good in my hand--easier than oranges to juggle, and less mess when dropped. It's all in the esthetics, ¿no?

  3. Hi, Chief. (SMILE)

    I call juggling my insurance policy: when I'm ready to drop out of Life completely in the USA, I can take my juggle balls, a top hat, a hula hoop and stand on my head act, go to any stop light intersection in Buenos Aires and earn the rest of my life in tips.

    Yes, Kota:

    (giggle) Gotta keep those little ones as entertained as possible. Fortunately it really does take soooo very little. I took my juggling "practice" on vacation last summer and had the attention of children and adults alike. It was actually kind of fun...I realized you don't see "juggling" everywhere here.

    Yay for the letter J! One of my favorites by the way. :)
