This Spring, the roads of Sudbury will not be safe because a certain 9 year-old will be cruising the streets in her new Diamondback Mountain Bike. The birthday season ended with the arrival of Sage's new 'Tessie' (name of her bike). It is a 21 speed with front fork suspension. The bike even has a matching horn (not shown in picture). Sage did not wait for the snow to melt before taking it for a ride. However, Sage quickly learned that not all hand brakes are created equally. Some aggressive breaking of the front wheel enabled Sage to go over the handle bars on only her second ride. Sage friend exclaimed "WOW, that was so AWESOME" at the crash. Sage calmly got up and brushed the gravel from her palms saying " I'm OK".
Happy 9th Birthday!
Rayne made her sixth month well visit this morning with Dr. Zackin. It was the first adventure that included Rayne's new nanny Suzanne, who started today. Rayne passed all strength and developmental tests. This included the tricky 'sit-up' test, which she aced. Credit on this one goes to her trainer, Mom. Height and weight scores tell us what we always knew... Rayne is well above average. She stretches to over 27 inches (88th percentile) and weighs in at 17.5 lbs (65th percentile). Research shows this is the perfect ratio of height/weight for those who want to be a fashion model or CEO. Dr Zackin's only concern was that Rayne is not eating enough solid foods (also a common concern with models). So, once we were home it was time to hit the carbs.
