OMG the Wiggles!

I am obsessed with The Wiggles. Don't you know who the Wiggles are?? If not, you have obviously been living under a rock (or do not have a young child anyway). They are a Australian band for preschoolers, and they have a show on the Disney Channel. I love them. I would watch the Wiggles show 24 hours a day if Mommy and Daddy would let me (they don't - boo!). I like to listen to their music in the car and dance in the back seat. I especially like to hear the same song over and over and OVER again, the whole way to school, for example (a half hour drive!).

Well, yesterday when I woke up from my nap, Mommy and Daddy quickly bundled me into the car and said we were going somewhere fun... to a Wiggles concert!!

When we first got there, we were walking in from the parking lot and there were a lot of noisy drunk people hanging around in tents. Then we saw a guy in the parking lot with a SHOTGUN. Mommy and Daddy were afraid we were at the wrong concert. But no, the other two events being held at the Greensboro Coliseum at the same time as the Wiggles concert were: a beer festival and a gun show. Two very good things to mix with toddlers, don't you think?

We finally got in and took our seats. We had GREAT seats - third row aisle! We were right there. There were stickers on everyone's chairs, so I played with those for a while.

Here is a picture of Mommy, Daddy and I waiting for the show to start.

Then, OMG! Some guys dressed in white came out and started dancing!!

It was pretty noisy and a lot of kids started wailing at this point. Not me though, I just sat in Daddy's lap and stared at the dancing guys.
Then OMG AGAIN!! The WIGGLES came out in the Big Red Car!

Sam is doing the steering, Anthony is doing the pushing

The Big Red Car apparently was having some engine trouble, because poor Anthony was pushing it.

The show was great! We saw so much cool stuff. Even Jeff tried to do the splits.

They sang lots of our favorite songs, including Mommy's favorite:

But towards the end of the concert, I got brave and went up front to dance!

All in all, we had a GREAT time. I'm so glad we got to go!!

What a lucky boy, seeing your favourite TV entertainers, they look great. So do you of course, and to see you doing the hot potato is wonderful. Mummy & Daddy were lucky you took them with you to the show. Love Nan & Grandad. (UK).

Owen, I have to be honest...this seems like parental abuse! Did they at least get to have a beer?
