Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I love that! It is nice to have a sense of humor about it. The kids need to learn its o.k. too and I would suspect if they develop a sense of humor about their height it would help their self esteem. > > Reply-To: RSS-Support > Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 22:16:59 +0000 (GMT) > To: RSS-Support > Subject: Re: Re: Here at last!!! > > Hi......my husband puts on an irish accent and says 'she's one of the little > people' !!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hi ...exactly!! I know our kids have a few problems in their early years but they lessen and disappear with time. The only lasting 'problem' being a little bit shorter than the average person. Just look at the pic of Teri in the photos...isn't she gorgeous??!! I work in a primary school for special needs children...I come home and look at my perfect (albeit tiny!) cheeky, funny , beautiful little daughter and I realise how lucky I am! Best wishes Eileen (mum of Imogen 6 RSS..in 12-24 months clothes, about 16 lbs and assorted other children!) Jovanovich @...> wrote: I love that! It is nice to have a sense of humor about it.
