Wiggles Concert

So don't ask my why I was so excited about a Wiggles Concert. Maybe because the last concert I went to was the Black Crowes back in November of 2007. Or maybe because it's the only TV I watch these days. Or possibly because it's Justin's favorite and only following that he has. He wakes up every morning and after naps asking for the "Woo-woo". I have to put it off as long as I can before he gets to watch his 25 minutes of TV. I mistakenly got a CD of songs and we have to listen to it every time we get in the car. So Derek, Justin, and I were on the 15th row at Toyota Center Sunday evening.

On each seat was a pamphlet of Wiggles paraphernalia and stickers for the kids to play with until the show started. Brilliant thinking, as this kept Justin busy until the show began. He did notice the other kids' hats, toys, etc. that their parents were guiltily buying them. But I don't think he realized that if he was a year older than he would know to be asking for it to. Only human nature.

When the concert first started, he looked very alarmed at that he might cry when he saw the clowns with the whistles in the pitch black dark. Then he had a very serious face for the first few songs. Eventually he got into the hand motions. Since we were on the floor, he had to either stand on one our laps or sit on Derek's shoulders in order to see past other kids standing up. I only took my old Sony camera since it was small and easy to transport. So these pictures aren't that great. Here's the fab foursome singing "Big Red Car". They had a few bloopers during the conert, and the adults laughed at the men laughing at themselves. Greg (yellow Wiggle) was replaced by a look-alike named Sam, whose accent was just as good. Anthony was the most entertaining of the four - he was laughing the entire show.
Mommy and Justin at the end of the last song. He was about ready to go after 1.5 hours of fun. Though when the lights turned on he wanted to stay and wave at the Wiggles for awhile.


A quick video of Justin during one of his favorite songs. I had to pry his fingers out of his mouth (still teething) to do the motions. He loves to mimic the Wiggles by putting his index fingers in the air, like those crazy Tech fans. All and all, a very fun night for the three of us.
