Ready, Steady, Wiggle!

Ethan has been a naturally musical boy since birth. When introduced to an Australian musical TV show about "The Wiggles," he - of course - became obsessed. That obsession has now continued for well over two years. When we learned that the Wiggles were coming to Austin, we obviously had tickets purchased for the concert within an hour!

Two weeks before the show, I made a puzzle present and specialized countdown chain to surprise him with the announcement.
(the trimmed part that most people may be interested in)
(the extended cut that true true obsessors may care about)

Ethan immediately wanted to share his excitement with his 2 favorite siblings.

As we counted down for 14 exciting days, our house turned into Wiggle Mania!


Concert Day arrived! We all had our Wiggles shirts and excited smiles on (little man too, who was perfectly content watching Wiggles at home on TV).



Having always wished the "real, LIVE Wiggles" would come to Austin but never actually believing they would, this was a total dream come true for big Ethan! He was overwhelmed and timid at first but quickly warmed up to dance and shake his sillies out to all of his familiar and favorite tunes.

a slow but happy start



"Shake Your Sillies Out"
"Joanie Works with 1 Hammer"

"Monkey Dance"
"Hot Potato"
"Do the Propeller"


waving "Goodbye!" to all the friends at the end of the show

For nostalgia fun, this guy has REALLY loved them for a REALLY long time:
