Bouncing Ball

I thought its about time I did some Animation Mentor assignments of my own. The bouncing ball assignment teaches you the major principles of animation, namely:
Arcs.
Timing/Spacing.
Squash and Stretch.
Volume.

Doing this animation was fun and I gave character to the bouncing ball! I wanted to make him bounce 3 times at the end before he gets squished but the timing of the falling blocks had to be timed with the bouncing ball. The only possible solution I see is adding another block to make the first block rock a little longer...
