Summer Wrap-Up. Part 2.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Annie+ Family Fun

I think I told you in the last post that some of our summer events weren’t all that exciting.

This might be one of them.

This summer….Annie got her first pair of shorts.

I know…ridiculous!….but she has spent a lifetime, three whole years, wearing cutesy *outfits* and *dresses* and never once had a pair of cheap shorts from Target, and you can not imagine how THRILLED she was by this $3.99 pair of SHORTS! Why? Because she wants nothing more than to be a carbon-copy of her big sister who wears big-girl shorts and NOT cute little-girl boutique outfits!

She did ridiculous things like this to show off her cool *big girl* shorts…

Its the little things in life. Until you’ve had children, you cannot POSSIBLY understand these things.

I think that’s enough of a post for one day, don’t you?

    absolutely enough, she is so darn sweet, gotta rock those pink shorts!!! I remember wanting to wear whatever my brother wore, my poor mom thought she was raising two boys I am sure! when they are young you just gotta take advantage of the cute and the frills!

    My first daughter didn't wear shorts until she went to preschool at age 4. I was sad when she did because I felt like she was so grown up all of a sudden.
