dd through sheer determination managed to zip up her own coat with no help whatsoever, dd was born with no left hand/arm from just below the elbow so this is just amazing she has just turned 5 and i can honestly say she amazes me everyday with what she achieves so proud of her just had to share Grin

That's fabulous, well done DD!!! You must be so proud of her :) xxxx

reddaisy · 02/03/2012 21:24

Wow, what a determined little girl you have
BodyofEeyore - the woman off CBeebies? My DD loves her!

DeWe · 02/03/2012 21:27

My dd2's was born the same (she's 8 now) and by the sound of it zips her coat the same way. Don't they work it out well for themselves? Dd2 does much better if I don't interfere. Grin Most of the things I thought she might never do, she has done without making a fuss about it. I still maintain she won't make a concert pianist though. Wink

My ds is in reception and he won't even try to zip his coat.

robino · 02/03/2012 21:27

Wow. Well done your DD!

iCANdothisiCAN · 02/03/2012 21:34

After all the crap that's been going on on here recently it's bloody wonderful to hear something so uplifting.

Well done!!!! [Grin]

Wolfiefan · 02/03/2012 21:36

So proud! Welling up here. Go DD!

iCANdothisiCAN · 02/03/2012 21:38

DEWE dont be so sure on the concert pianist just yet, my cousin teaches music at university and has a one handed pianist and she is quite good by all accounts :) and thank you to all you lovely mummies Thanks
