The Wiggles!!

I think we must be CRAZY!! The Wiggles have been banned in our house since Riley's Wiggles Birthday Party in February. It was a drastic move but it had to be done after his Wiggles obsession got out of control. The first word out of his mouth every morning was "Wiggles". The last word out of his mouth every night was "Wiggles". And he even woke up in the middle of the night crying out "WIGGLES". Obsess much?!?

So we banned it. Cold turkey. No more Wiggles music, no more Wiggles DVD's, and no more talking about the Wiggles. Of course the Wiggles still did remain in his life a bit. They still listened to Wiggles music in daycare so he did get a bit of exposure. Before long he stopped asking about them and life was peaceful again. Whenever he did mention them, he made sure to tell us that "Wiggles at school, NOT at home". So he got it.

Fast forward to yesterday. Wiggles tickets went on sale and they are playing in our city. How could i NOT buy some knowing how much he loved and still loves them. So i did it. I bought Wiggles tickets. Great seats too. We got 12th row, right on the floor by the stage. He's going to go CRAZY when he finds out. The concert is October 21st so obviously we're not going to mention it until that day or else we'd never hear the end of it. So, hopefully i don't end up regretting this decision. Hopefully he realizes that the Wiggles are at school and at the arena, but still not at home. But even if we do go through the withdrawl again, it'll still be worth it. Because this is seriously one of the coolest things I could've done for him and I know he'll have the best time ever.

It's times like this that I LOVE being a MOM!!!
