Anna | The Pigtails & The Potty

I love love these Ali, so precious she is. My oldest's first word was purple before she was one and she had to have everything purple everyday for months. Thank you for sharing. Love the pigtails especially.

Ali,
My daughter at the same age as Anna loved purple too. She used to call it 'Jeff' (as in the Wiggles), and she loved the Wiggles too!
Enjoy!

It's really important : capture life and little moments. That's why i'll begin a project life : for these little moments we forgot ... happy photographies !!!!

My daughter is 3.5 and has had a love affair with the color purple since she was about 1.5. There MUST be something on her that is purple 6 out of 7 days of the week. So fun to watch what makes our kids tick!

she is just adorable. so sweet.

I love the picture of Anna and her pigtails! Cute...cute..cute.
I had a love affair with purple when I was a kid and its still my favorite color. I have 3 biys so not much purple in my house.

What sweet photos! She is absolutely adorable with her pigtails!

Hi Ali,
Love the photo of Anna in the bathroom. It warms the heart to see children mimmick.

Hey where is the dog...haven't seen her in any photos lately...

Love that girl!

Lovely photos and story--lovely girl child!

This morning I checked in at the UW website and thought of you and one little word. Here is a link--I love that someone capture these thoughts from students. http://www.washington.edu/discover/holiday

She is so adorable, and I just have to comment - she looks SO much like Simon!! I am not a person who usually notices those things, but they are so similar. I also love the bond you are raising them with. My sister is my best friend, and many tears have been cried for the lost years with parents who seemed to purposely keep us "in separate corners". Of the many magical gifts you will give your kids, I imagine this will be one of the most cherished - even without them knowing! :) While I love you, and am inspired by your talent - I really think 50% of the reason I read your blog is the joyous family life! :) Thanks so much for sharing it with us! It's such a feel good place to go to! :)

So very darling!

Love the pigtails, love the little artist at work, love the reader. These photos bring back memories of my "little" girl, now a senior in college and home for the holidays. She too wore pigtails . . . loved art . . . loved reading. These are precious photos for sure.

so cute. my baby girl hasn't picked a favorite color yet but her big brother (now almost 4yro) has been partial to the color PINK since he was 1. haha!

Cute!

I managed Magic lights too! :) http://theteacherspett.blogspot.com/2010/12/magic-lights.html

Thanks for the link. :)

She is so precious. Love those little red shoes.

Love this Ali!!! She is so cute!!! Great pictures!

I think she looks so much like your sister in that first photo, and I love the glimpse into her world in the third photo.

How cute I love it and the red shoes adorable....
Happy Holidays

So precious! Makes me so sad that my little girl is 9 already, and I missed so many of these precious moments by being too wrapped up in other "stuff". Now that I have grown and matured as a mother, I do revel in those moments she has now, and appreciate her in all of her 9 year old wonder. And I revel in the moments of my little boys who are now around Anna's age. Thank you for sharing, and reminding me of how important this is. Blessings.
