@lifewiththemckennas: If you’ve been following my journey you will know there’s a pretty high chance my daughter has some form of dwarfism. I know we all have our insecurities and maybe that’s part of life but being aware that she might grow up not always looking like her peers has made me rethink how I speak and act infront of her. This is nothing significant really, but I always want my daughter to feel like she deserves to take up space, to be loud, to wear the pretty dresses, to have an opinion, to exist. And I can’t teach her that she’s enough as she is, if I don’t believe that I am. So I wore the shorts.
Oh my goodness! I didn’t think I could love or admire you more than I do, but you just made me love you more. As a 73 year old grandmother who’s lived her life with body image issues, you’ve healed something in me today. Ottie will grow up knowing she’s loved and valued for who she is because she has a Mum and Dad and 2 precious big brothers who will always let her know she’s the most adorable child on this earth. Wear those shorts, Momma. And keep changing lives, one TT video at a time. ♥️

@lizzielanell: As a achondroplasia myself and a mom to a daughter who’s got a achondroplasia this is such a great message. I still get really shy to wear short out but I always tell myself you gotta do it! My daughter loves shorts so I don’t ever wanna make her insecure about it. Honor you look amazing btw ❤️Ottie is just the cutest girl, and I love her little romper she’s wearing. 🥰 ( I fixed that comment cause I put hope instead of honor oh my gosh mom brain got me)

Nothing wrong with those pins! But equally I can so relate to your post, as I personally hate mine too, but they get me from A to B & I’m grateful I’ve got a pair 😆 You’re such a wonderful mum, Ottie is so lucky to have you 🥰

I totally get how you feel. I was the same for years but as I’ve got older I’ve stopped worrying and just wear what I want now especially in this weather. If you think back to when you went out earlier can you remember what any other person your saw was wearing? Probably not and nothing wrong with you legs.
