So mom and I took Josh to the Wiggles today. Seriously, it was so cute. We all had fun. It was great being at a concert where the general noise level allowed you to hear what was going on on stage. The guys really seemed to have a sense of humor - there were a few times where they'd be cracking each other up on stage. So fun. I liked when they tried to tell a "sleeping" Jeff that he was going to wake up, dance around the second tier and sing like Rod Stewart, while Jeff is laughing hysterically and shaking his head no. "I think Jeff is sleep laughing! Must be a very funny dream." The highlight for mom was when Murray was showing the kids how to put on their pretend guitars to play, and started playing Stairway to Heaven, to the appreciative cheers of the parental audience. LOL We were getting worried that they weren't going to play Josh's favorite song, Quack Quack, but then they came through - in spades! They played it through as meant to be done, then Murray got Capt Feathersword (who was laughing quite a bit during this) to perform it in the vocal stylings of Mick Jagger (complete with strutting), Metallica (headbanging, words changed to fit one of their songs), and Enrique Iglesias ("I can be your quacker, darling," with the lights low and people swaying with their Wiggle lights and cell phones), to name a few. I missed the others, sadly, because I was giving roses for Dorothy.
Sometimes it's best to just not know what I'm talking about.
But really, super cute and fun and they were silly and sweet and obviously having a great time up there. And down - they got into the audience a lot, singing with the kids and getting pictures taken. Sweet.
Then we got home, getting ready to relax and read the papers. Open up the local paper - dude, there was an article written about me. She had interviewed me, I thought as part of the feature article on Mom's Zoo Day, but no. I got my own litte column. And she paraphrased in ways to make me sound intelligent! If I can find it online at their site, I'll post a link. It's about the work I've done with my sibling playshops.
How sad is it that I now I want to download Wiggles songs? Dude, Hot Potato is just freaking fun.
