The world's smallest girl Charlotte Garside took a massive step this month after starting her first day at primary school.
The five-year-old, who is just 68cm tall and weighs less than 9lbs, is no bigger than a newborn and smaller than her favourite teddy.
Last week, she joined kids her own age in the classroom for the first time.
The day marked a milestone for proud parents Scott Garside and Emma Newman who have battled to give their daughter as normal a life as possible.
Charlotte was born with a form of Primordial Dwarfism so rare doctors don't even have a name for it.
But despite being warned she could die before the age of one, Charlotte has developed into a boisterous and inquisitive girl
Emma, 30, of Withernsea, East Yorks, said: 'Although Charlotte is a one-in-a-million baby with some health problems, she is not the sort of person who will fade into the background.
Unique: Charlotte was born with a form of Primordial Dwarfism so rare doctors don't even have a name for it
Defying the doctors: Despite being warned she could die before the age of one, Charlotte has developed into a boisterous and inquisitive girl
'She may be small but she has a massive personality and wants to do everything a normal five-year-old does.
