i said to annie "go get your shoes and we will walk waffle"
she takes off running upstairs and comes down in this….
seriously cute.
i said "oh…you want to wear those?"
she answered "YEAH! they are a little tight but i sure do love the sound!!!"
and jumped up and down, big loud jumps on the hard wood floors.
they do make a great loud click clack sound.
she is so good at being four years old.
Varun - Nice collection of pics.. and beautifully portrayed ..
The world as i see through my lens.

Routhie - Very cute, and I love your dog. He looks so lusciously soft. Perfect playmate for a little girl. 😀
Karina - She is just so cute. More than cute – she is photogenic and guileless as only a little kid can be. I LOVE the outfit. Can she come over and pick out stuff for me to wear (mind you, I’m no longer 4…more like 40)?
Is she named “Anne” and you call her “Annie?” I ask because my baby (third child) is Anna and she’s still so young (one), I don’t know yet if she’ll turn into an “Annie…” I LOVE the name. And I continue to love your family and house in pictures.
The Paper Note - I’m totally diggin the socks, awesome., L
alyssa - she just keeps getting cuter. Do you ever wonder how that works? They never cease to amaze!
julie - You are such a good mom. Why can’t I let go and just let my kids live? We would all be happier! I love the look on Annie’s face…she looks “happy”!
Sheryl - Oh, I just love Annie! I love when my preschoolers come to school in outfits they picked out.
sarajane - i think ellakate has a fashion idol to follow now! love the look annie!
Lauren - I have been a long time lurker, but this pic brought me out from my hiding spot. I LOOOVE this picture of Annie. It reminds me of my daughter (I could have shown a similar picture). My daughter usually pics either silver glitter shoes or white patent ones. And she will purposely take apart 2 different pairs of matched socks and put on one of each color/pattern. She isn’t even 3 yet. It makes me happy to know I might still have these moments with her for another year!!!
Gina - Oh my goodness, that’s adorable.
Lori - That little Annie is the cutest!!I love reading about her and especially love the pictures. Keem ’em coming!
Lisa - PRECIOUS MOMENTS WITH A PRECIOUS GIRL!
I SURE DO MISS THAT AGE!
HUGS FROM MAINE
Renee - LOVE it. Was she disappointed you didn’t put your tap shoes on, too? xoxo
Amber - oh so cute! Annie and Waffle make quite the cute pair 🙂
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Don’t ya just wish she’d stay that way?? What a sweetheart:)
Jennifer T - She just makes me laugh – I hope London can be as carefree as Annie is about things in life.
Debra Cripps - That makes me remember when my younger girl was that age. We could not buy her a pair of shoes unless they made the right “tappy” sound.
She’s now 24! Have fun when they are little. Time flies by so fast!
Sandy - I LOVE that little Annie! Thanks again for sharing your adorable kids, dog, husband and life with us!

purejoy - i always wanted tap shoes when i was little. my mom never thought dance lessons were appropriate. i so wanted to dance.
i would have danced around the block in my tap shoes walking my dog, snoopy.
annie is a true unbridled spirit and i LOVE it!
Dana D @BoysMyJoys - Are they taps? Love them! Love the outfit! Love that Annie stories always make me laugh!
Kelly - Gosh what a cute kid.
I go back to teaching next week. I have been transferred to third grade.
I am SO going to miss stuff like this. Years 4 – 6 are the best.
These were the things I wrote down in a journal and whenever I needed it,
I took it out and got myself a healthy outlook on the world.
Annie cracks me up!
Laura Phelps - My Annie would be VERY PROUD of your Annie. She may even tell her, “You’re fashion.”
Good work Annie.
Molly Pearce - Oh thats so cute!! My baby sister used to wear a little boys suit jacket we bought at goodwill FOR-EVER! She loved it!! She even wore it in the dead heat of summer. Have a happy Tuesday!!
~Molly P
Mary - Mine is 8 and she still loves fun socks with “glop glop” shoes. I try to correct her that it should be “clop clop”, but she doesn’t care so neither do I. Go Annie!!
Carrie - Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jill J - Do they make those socks in adult sizes?! 😉 To take from another commenter, those are “fashion!”
Jennifer - So cute! I hope my daughter has as much spunk at 4!
Holly - She’s too cute!
Lanny Stanard - Okay now thats cute! that’s our Annie 😀
Lanny…
Penny - Oh, what a way to greet the day! She is VERY good at being four. It is my very favorite age. I remember so many sweet, funny things my three girls did at four.
You are a great mom! Enjoy these days. And enjoy that wonderful wonderful dog, Waffle. Our little Sophie (also a Goldendoodle) is such a clown. We love her!
You will be so happy you are capturing these days, give her a big hug!
Art Cant Hurt - at four years old my youngest daughter would label my outfits as “fashion” or “not fashion” – don’t know where she got this but it was always the highlight of my day!
annie is TOTALLY fashion!!!
Kathy - Are those tap shoes? OMG I love that child’s spirit she is a good nut!
Ashlee Archibald - I cant wait til Olive is four. This is nothing more sweet! 🙂 She looked great! 🙂
Kim - Annie is just adorable! Are they tap shoes? Her shorts are too cute!
Toni :O) - That is just too sweet! My daughter loves those types of shoes as well and she’s six. I love being a mom to a daughter…just SO special. I can never hear her say “I love you Mom” too much….ever!
alice - so cute! and i’m glad she loved the sound – otherwise you wouldn’t have these awesome, sweet photos :O).

Shauna - She is too cute, and what style!!
Jodi - She is so adorable. I think it’s awesome that you allow her to choose what she wants to wear. Sometimes how it makes you feel is more important than how it looks.
She’s totally got what it takes to pull this look off! 🙂
Jess - She is so adorable!
adrienneK - LOVE it!! i believe I called any shoes that made a neat sound “clicky claks” as a child…I think I was 4 too!
Vicki - Oh how that made me chuckle!! I LOVE it!!! 🙂
colleen - She sure is cute and perfect at being four. Love the socks more than the shoes!!!
