We did some wiggling

One of Zoe's favorite morning shows used to be The Wiggles. She loves to sing and dance, so it was a natural fit for her. They are dubbed "your child's first rock band."

Unfortunately they left Disney and signed a deal with Sprout. That's a channel we don't have. The Wiggles have been off our radar for a bit.

Until we found out they were coming to town. I bought Zoe a Wiggles DVD and we haven't stopped watching it since.

She loves Wags the Dog, all the dance moves and Sam, the yellow Wiggle.

Imagine her delight when we went to the Opera House to see Sam, Wags and all the rest of the Wiggles in person.

I think her eyes grew about 2 feet each.

We got third row tickets and this is our pose for most of the show.

She was enthralled. Until Sam came off stage and waved to her personally. She kept yelling "it's Sam. It's Sam!"

All she could do was smile and wave back. She was absolutely speechless. Because she's like her mother, that's a rarity.


The Wiggles show was awesome. It contained humor for the parents (they rib each other constantly) and 90 minutes of pure energy for the kiddos.

About two-thirds of the way through, Wags the Dog came out to dance. Immediately Zoe sat up and made sure all of us knew it was Wags!

In person! Then he sang some song about scratching his fleas. He sure knows how to win our girl's heart.

I loved how much energy they had, how they spoke to kids and interacted with them. It truly was a great time. They even encouraged parents to take pictures. They speak to the blogging/scrapbooking crowd too.

Thank you Wiggles for making Spokane a stop on your tour. It made our whole weekend.
