WHAT A BLAST!!!

I always thought that parents that spent tons of money for their children to see childhood celebrities were crazy, but now I have a bright eyed Wiggle loving toddler. Micah has had a crazy obsession with The Wiggles since his 1st birthday. He has a couple of Wiggles shirts, several Wiggles videos and even more Wiggles toys. Most of his Christmas presents this year have to do with Wiggles and his 2nd birthday party will be done in Wiggles.

When I realized how excited my sweet little boy got over The Wiggles, I knew that I had to some how, some way get him to a concert to meet them. We have had our tickets for over a month now and I have prayed that nothing happen to keep us from going. Well, we made it to the big day. No major illnesses, but the weather was awful. There were several tornado watches throughout the area, but we had come to far to miss this concert. We braved the weather and made our way to Atlanta.

When we got there, we bought Micah a Big Red Car light-up wand. He loved it and held onto it the entire time. When we walked through the auditorium doors, Micah began to realize what was going on. They had The Wiggles singing on the big screen. There were hundreds of kids all around us, all waiting for one thing...TO SEE THE WIGGLES!!!

Micah thoroughly enjoyed himself at the concert. At times he was a bit overwhelmed at it all and all that he could do was just sit and stare at the stage. I think his favorite part was seeing them come out in The Big Red Car. His least favorite part was when they brought a huge blow-up Murray out on the stage. They had to Murray deflate several times and come down on Jeff and then Jeff would fall to the ground. Most of the kids got a kick out of this, but not tender-hearted Micah. He began to get upset and had to go sit in his dada's lap.

Everyone there had a great time, even the adults. The Wiggles really know how to put on a concert. When we left, Charlie said that he really enjoyed it and that is coming from a guy who never really wanted to go in the first place. Way to go Wiggles!!
