The lights dim, the roar of the crowd grows as everyone waits to see the band come out...
the fans wave their light sticks, proudly display their concert T-shirts, and throw flowers.
Sounds like any concert, but this is a concert for toddlers.
The Wiggles!
We just got back from our first toddler concert experience. It was pretty hilarious. And quite the business. Roses are sold at the souvenir shop, which are promptly handed back in to Dorothy the Dinosaur. Shirts, Cd's, and DVDs were flying off the shelves.
We, as you will learn if you follow my blog, are pretty frugal and try not to be excessive consumers. I won the tickets on a morning TV show and we opted to not purchase anything at the concert, just enjoy the show.
It was a really fun show for kids, complete with castle set, clowns, all of the mascots, and audience interaction galore.
My only negative comment would be why have this show at 1:30, when the audience is largely made up of 2 and 3 year olds who are overtired? Have it at 10 a.m.! Jack was fine until 2:30, then hit a wall and basically laid down for the next 4 songs but did perk up for the big finale.
All in all, the look on his face and the dance moves he came up with were priceless, and well worth the trip out to see the band, and the ringing in my ears, and the tylenol from my migraine, and the bruise on my back from being kicked by the twins behind me...
Rock on Wiggles!

Love the way you won tickets and didn't spend! Great to teach kids that the concert is the treat! Got any frugal Christmas tips?
