Violet’s shoes are on sale at Garnet Hill Kids right now for $19.99 probably because they are cloth — still good though if you live in California or if you want to buy for next spring.

I find it annoying that everyone seems to have a problem with Suri C. being in dresses all time because it’s impractical for her to play in, and yet everyone oohs and ahhs over Violet’s $100 dress, as if putting something that expensive on a child is any more practical. You all assume Jennifer is so easy going that she just wouldn’t mind if something happened to Violet’s $100 frock, but you wouldn’t ever give Katie H. the credit of being as laid back with Suri’s dresses. Very annoying.

I would never be comfortable saying to a person’s face or undermind a mother’s decision to carry her own child at any given time, especially a mother like Jennifer Garner. She is the last person whose parenting skills I would question.

Violet also wears Splendid Littles Barbi Pink Leggings with Buttons .

emily I agree with you 100%

I am perplexed. CBB asks that before you post you ask yourself “Would I be comfortable saying this to the person’s face?”

“Does this child even know how to walk? I think it’s time Jennifer quits carrying her around everywhere she goes”.

Really Jessica? Would you feel comfortable approaching any mother holding her 2 year old and saying that?
There are a few (sometimes many)comments in the same vein whenever CBB posts a beautiful pic of Violet on her mom’s hip. There were also comments from people saying that Keri Russell shouldn’t be carrying her 1 year old son in an Ergo (a carrier that works up to 3 or 4 years of age in diff. positions)
I think I would rather see all of these comments than have them censored, but I just can’t believe that people today have the false notion that carrying your child is detrimental. If those people wish to educate themselves on the subject, may I suggest the book “The Continuum Concept” by Jean Liedloff . You can read excerpts(and other articles) here http://www.continuum-concept.org/reading.html
I also suggest that you take a look at this list. Especially #5. tp://www.naturalchild.org/guest/laura_simeon.html

Violet is ONLY 2 1/2 years old…practically still a baby…and if there’s say 20 photographers around talking loudly and snapping pictures then I’d carry my 2 1/2 year old daughter too. Maybe it makes Violet feel safer. PLUS most of the time they’re in a parking lot. I’ve protective of my kids in parking lots too. Give her a break.

Love this duo, I agree that all the pics we seem to be of Jen holding Violet but I can understand it, My two year old god daughter although obviously can walk wont really walk around too much when we’re out especially if sh can sit in her pushchair or be carried.

Actually there have been pictures of Violet walking. We see Jen carrying her everywhere because they are in pictures. Obviously the papparazzi is there taking the pictures and rather than strolling along getting a thousand pictures taken, Jen must carry Vi to hurry along and protect her from the paps.

With all the paps around, I’m sure I’d carry my small child all the time in public as well. All of those shouting strangers would be really scary for a two year old.
