Raegan has always been a pretty big fan of the Wiggles. In fact, she is a Wiggly fan club member! About 3 months ago, Bob found out that the Wiggles would be coming to the Palace for their Chasing the Rainbow concert. Since Raegan is a fan club member, we were able to pre-purchase our tickets. Bob being the great Daddy that he is, was on the computer the day of the pre-sale to get us the best possible tickets, row 9, section A right on the floor in front of the stage. We decided not to tell Raegan about this because we didn’t want to listen to “When am I going to the Wiggles???” for three months.
Well, yesterday was the concert! Daycare accidentally slipped and told her that we were taking her. After a LONG drive from our house to the Palace we were really hoping that she wouldn’t freak out and cry when she saw them. She LOVED it! After we grabbed a bite to eat and found our chairs, she started looking around at all of the other kids and then said “I want a hat,” so off I go to get one. She wore this hat for the whole concert! She never keeps anything on her head! A couple of the Wiggly dancers came out to give some safety tips (they also did them in Spanish, Bob and I were trying to figure out when this became a necessary function in our society) and she was ready! She seemed a little confused when the Wiggles first came on stage and kept watching them on the giant screens next to the stage. She was so used to only seeing them on TV! After about 20 minutes, she really got into it. By the end, she was dancing, singing, laughing and talking to the Wiggles. Before they sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, they had everyone turn on their cell phone and hold it in the air to simulate stars. Raegan got a kick out of this and was very good at not making a call while holding it!
Bob and I are really glad that we decided to take her on this little “date.” She may not remember it, but we sure will. We had an amazing time hanging out with her and watching her have so much fun!
