Re: Georgia-May

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the replies - Leah, and Ken - you are so right Leah -

People are jumping to thier own conclusions bout Georgia -May anyway and she is

a blessing (Like your attitude - I really do need to get over myself!) Would

love to get over to the convention one day - if GM shows an

interest-would it be alright to compare notes bout our girls??Thanks Ken for the

" Vent "

Milestone passed today! -Georgia - May can now ride her bike without training

wheels - age 9yrs1 month - wahoo!!!

(also 5 year old brother has just over taken her in the hieght stakes - much to

his delight and her disgust lol) Lee-Anne (mum to - Georgia-May 9 yrs rss and

Buster 5 yrs non rss)

Screw what other people will think. Make sure you let her feel as normal as

possible, don't let her get that sick kid mentality, unless of course she is.

It's worse when you don't explain it to people, than if you don't because then

they jump to their own conclusions anyways. She is a gorgeous blessing, rss or

not. = ) I'm 4'9 and 22 years old and by the way I've never worn highheels

unless i was going to a wedding. Being short is not as much of a handicap as

people seem to enjoy thinking it is. Your daughter will live a happy normal life

as long as you're there for her. = ) good luck

photos and having a little weep -

kids just like my Georgia - May!!!

Our little girl is 9 years old and we got the RSS " label " for her 6

months ago -and ashamed to say I have had my head buried in the sand

ever since - know I sound pathetic but am really worried that peoples

attitudes to Georgia- May will change if I tell them she has a

syndrome (at the moment she is just a petite little girl who is " a

bit

slow " ) - and am finding it really hard to tell her that she is little

because of RSS -for some stupid reason I feel I will change the

course

of her life if I say it out loud.She is about 117cm tall ,mentally at

a 6 year old level and has learning difficulties - is a bright little

button with a mind of her own (which makes her hard work at times!)Is

there anyone out there who has an older /grown up child or who has

RSS

themselves who has been thru this? - what is the best approach to

take?? How do I help my girl - am getting anxious for her as

the " awkward " years approach .

Somebody please tell me that a pair of really high heels will solve

all her problems!! Lee-Anne
