How many pairs of Crocs does this kid own? Does she ever wear anything else. Love love love the dress though! She looks adorable in the whole outfit. Not a fan of Crocs at all but I think she has really cute style in general.

Sarah’s note: 5.

Ya know there is something about daddy’s and their girls that just make your ovaries hurt–and in particular THIS daddy and his girl! I absolutely love this picture–first of all Violet looks adorable–I love how they dress her–not like some fashionista but like an adorable little toddler ya know? love love love this family and I love how they always take Violet on these little outings–to the farmer’s market–to Starbucks…it’s sweet–and i love how sometimes it’s mom and Vi, sometimes it’s dad and Vi–and sometimes it’s the whole family…

And I am sure they do have a nanny now and then–but Jen and Ben get all the praise cuz they are always with their little girl…THEY are raising her–as it should be…I adore this family…I love all these little moments we get to see–no matter how simple or mundane–they are just a normal family raising their daughter and I am proud to be a fan of theirs! LOVE the Garner-Afflecks–my favorite family–and my FAVORITE todder Violet–GORGEOUS!

Violet is so cute. Love the dress. Her hair is so pretty. Love seeing them all a out with her.

- Lisa on August 14th, 2007

She probably has even more pairs of shoes than 5, she is a celebrity child and regular kids in general sometimes have way more than 5 pair of shoes. Violet is so cute, and always dressed adorable. Ben is a hot dad too.

Sarah’s note: She definitely has more than 5 pairs of shoes, I was just referring to the crocs we’ve seen her in.

You know what I noticed right away…she has a tank top underneath her little spaghetti strapped dress. It just goes to show you that they’re modest and dont want their little girl to grow up any earlier than she needs to. I’m not opposed to little spaghetti strapped dresses, but I just think it shows you what kind of parents they are when you see that they have her a little more covered up. I can think of a whole list of celebrity moms who probably reveal way too much on their little girls.

- Noelle on August 14th, 2007

I know it’s a bit off the topic but I really never understood what Jennifer saw in Ben – sorry, but I really don’t find him attractive at all. Her first husband, Scott Foley, was much sexier and don’t even get me started on Michael Vartan. But it seems that she has strong/dominant genes – Violet looks exactly like her – so being the “celebretologist” that I am, I take comfort in that… LOL

- Maya on August 14th, 2007

I really like the Garner-Affleck family as well, but I would love to see some photos of Violet smiling .. Don’t think I’ve ever seen more than a few pics like that.

- Sara on August 14th, 2007

I love her little dress! They always dress her beautifully and she looks even cuter =]

And I agree with Ekaterina, Violet owns so many pairs of Crocs!

- Althea on August 14th, 2007

finally, Violet is wearing something girly and pretty!! I LOVE this child and I LOVE this family, but they dress her so plain and ungirly most of the time. I love a girly dress!! And she looks so adorable in it. Not a fan of Crocs at all…I live in Orlando (near Disney) and every freakin tourist wears Crocs. I think they are ugly!!! I don’t know why they are so popular!!! I love daddy’s girl time, its so sweet!!

- tink1217 on August 14th, 2007

Violet is adorable and Ben is a Hottie.

I think Violet has her…. I couldn’t get my way pout going on. That look isn’t unusual in toddlers. Jen and Ben are probably trying not to spoil her as much.

- Mimi on August 14th, 2007

Not agreeing with Tink on any of her comments. I love Violet and crocs and her clothes.

- Robyn on August 14th, 2007

LOL I don’t know if anyone has noticed… but I am so jealous if Violet’s shoe collection. While I sport the same pair of $5 flip flops – this kid has like 500 pairs of crocs! Every color – every style! She is just so adorable and I am in love with this little dress!! Such a sweet picture! =] I think Ben and Jen are really good, sweet parents…

- Emily G on August 14th, 2007

What a down-to-earth family the Afflecks are. They dress their daughter impeccably, but not over the top. Crocs are in this summer, so I have no problem with the many pairs she has. My children had matching shoes and clothes at her age as well. Mommies love to dress their children up, if they can afford to do it, why not? Why put them down for being such loving and caring parents. I love to see that they are hands-on parents. Most of Hollywood has nannies or mannies following behind. Kudos to the Afflecks for their job raising such a beautiful daughter.

- Lin on August 14th, 2007

I love this outfit but I don’t like crocs at all. She looks so adorable here!

- Lynn on August 14th, 2007

So cute, looks so much like her mom in this picture. I love that dress, its so cute, but I don’t think the purple crocs go well with green butterflies, that’s just me though.

- Sarah on August 14th, 2007

I love the dress. She’s a cutie!

Not a fan of crocs, though. My daughter (6) got a pair, wore them once, and the blisters were so bad, she could barely walk by the end of the day and her feet were bloody. It was just brutal and she hasn’t worn them since.

I guess they work for a lot of people, though!

- TwinMom on August 14th, 2007

I, too, think she looks like her mom, but does anyone else think she has Dad’s eyebrows? The whole brow area says Ben to me.

The butterfly dress couldn’t be cuter, and I also noticed she had a little tank under it – awesome. As for smiles, I think pretty much any shot of her at the playground shows her beaming. She seems like a pretty happy baby overall – they seem to be doing a great job. I never used to be the biggest Affleck fan, but my opinion of him has shot up since seeing him in action with his little family.

- Annabel on August 14th, 2007

I love seeing pics of this family. Violet is such a cute toddler. I bet her hair ends up dark like her mom’s (just a random thought there).

And the daddy/daughter outings are so fun. No doubt she’s daddy’s little girl!

- Charity on August 14th, 2007

i just loooove violet! she is so gosh darn cute. she looks like jen spit her out. and i also noticed that she wears a lot of crocs. im sure she has more than 5 pairs of shoes. my daughter has tons of shoes,especially when she was small like violet and she wore crocs a lot at that age too.

- coco on August 14th, 2007

Ok, my daughter has tons of shoes including like 8 pairs of crocs. Does that make me a bad mom? NO A child with lots of shoes? yes

- Robyn on August 14th, 2007

The dress is adorable. I didn’t notice the tank underneath until mentioned. I think it’s fine either way. It’s not as if she actually has anything to reveal.

I haven’t tried crocs but plenty of people find them comfortable. I guess they’re good for a young child to walk in and they do let your feet air. I probably would get blisters from wearing them. I couldn’t wear Birkenstocks either.

- terri on August 14th, 2007

why is she blonde now?I’ve seen this happen with a lot of celebrity’s children:Apple,Leni,Coco.Is this a regular thing?

- Isaura on August 14th, 2007

I forgot to mention, my daughter has really big feet for her age, and they’re wide feet, too. So I wonder if that’s why she had trouble with crocs.

- TwinMom on August 14th, 2007

That child is so beautiful. The perfect mix of Ben and Jen i think. I love her little dress i have the same but with pink for my daughters.

- Ashleigh on August 14th, 2007

Maybe the reason why she is pouting is because someone pinched her cheeks. Her right cheek seems to be pink on the bottom.

Vi is always adorable. Not only does she have the best camera death glare, she has the cutest smile. I see her smiling all the times in pictures. And that dress is definitely cute.

- Lee on August 14th, 2007

Violet is simply beautiful. Often it seems like she picks out her own clothes – I think I remember a picture of her in robeez lines boots in the early summer. I think its great that they let her wear what makes her comfortable -within reason! Personally, my 5 year old has worn the same pair of hot pink cowgirl boots every day with every outfit for literally 3 weeks.

This family seems so amazing and Violet is totally breathtaking, just like her Mama!

- KayLee on August 14th, 2007

In response to “does she ever wear any other shoes?” My two year old hates to wear shoes, before I bought her crocs, she was barefoot constantly! She has two pairs and she will take off her any other shoes I put on her and put on her crocs! They are easy for children to put on themselves and they are great for summer! I do think Violet is a little clone of her mommy and it’s nice to see her daddy pitching in!

- Nicole on August 15th, 2007

First of all, who cares what kind of shoes she has on!??! She’s a toddler… and I think they always seem to have her dressed comfy, simple, and just plain adorable! That baby could wear a gunnysack and be precious!! I absolutely see the “brow likeness”… she DOES have her daddy’s look on her face in this pic. They seem like a really happy, easygoing sort of family. Love the Afflecks.
