Bionic 5K

I was not able to attend the Bionic 5K last Sunday because of my soccer game. All three kids participated, with Kyle finishing 11th in a field of 707. Maya finished 15 seconds ahead of Nicolai, who placed first in the below-the-knee amputee division. Photos for the event were just posted, and sadly, Maya was not in the mix.

Nora was kind enough to share some photos she took during her visit earlier this week. The one below with Dora is my favorite. I am convinced she is going to be an early walker, and we worked together on some basic weight transfer skills. This, incidentally, is the key to learning to walk. Once a baby has mastered standing, the big breakthrough comes when they figure out how to take weight off one foot so it is free to move.

Simon did an excellent job recreating a photo I had taken with Nora some 15 years ago.
