The Wiggles Have Landed

After weeks of mild anticipation, the Wiggles concert was last tuesday. Casey had to go home Monday afternoon after receiving a phone call from the babysitter saying that Courtney appeared to have a fever. It was 104! I of course, freaked out and made the snap decision that we were not going to the concert the next day and tried to get rid of the tickets at work. Of course, there were no takers. All I got was a bunch of amart aleck responses via e-mail. So, I held onto the tickets, hoping that she'd have a miraculous recovery.

Well, she did, actually get much better the next day. We pumped her full of Tylenol and we were off!

There were a ton of people there. She was awestruck immediately only because she's never been around that many people. When we walked into the actual arena, her eyes got really big and she said "Oh Boy!". Waiting for the concert to begin, they played videos on the big screens, and when it stopped she said "daddy, gimme the mote", which means she wanted the remote so she could turn it back on. She had no clue what was going on. Then, when the Wiggles came out in the Big Red Car, she looked so excited! I'll never forget the expression on her face as long as I live. My eyes teared up over how much she was enjoying herself. She danced and sang to every song. So did we, as a matter of fact, because sadly we know all the words also. I have to admit, I was a little starstruck myself. I mean, these guys are on my television all the time and we were sooo close. A little too close, actually. We had a good view of all of their pit stains. In fact, the yellow Wiggle Greg got really fat since the last video release and my husband pointed out that he had two holes in the armpits of his t-shirt. I believe his exact words were, "can't this rich f***** afford a new T-shirt". Crass, but a true statement!

After the concert, we were walking back to the car and Courtney turned to me with her big blue eyes, in her Wiggles T-shirt, and Dorothy the Dinosaur hat and said "mommy, I see the Wiggles". Yes, honey you sure did! And I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
