THE WIGGLES!!!!!!!


Ok, for those of you that do not know, Caleb is a HUGE fan of The Wiggles! He is literally infatuated(sp?) with them! When he was 2 years old we took him to see the concert in Birmingham and he loved it! We decided to take him again this year, however, we wanted it to be a surprise so all he knew was that he had a special prize that we had to go and get. Well, we are driving to the civic center in Mobile and Caleb thinks we are going to some kind of toy store, we walk in the building and there is the booth of Wiggle items, he of course is excited and wants to buy everything! He still doesn't realize what is going on though so we take him into where the concert is going to take place and he realizes what we are doing. Marcus and I had packed his Wiggle outfit (which looks exactly like Maury the Wiggle's outfit) and Marcus then took Caleb and changed him into his costume. We get to our seats (which are on the first riser from the floor) and Maury runs up the aisle right next to us! We are screaming for Maury to look at Caleb, but he totally glanced over him! I then decide I am going to sneak down to the floor level in hopes of getting Caleb closer, I was just waiting for the security guard to come and ask me to leave! (The things we will do for our kids) I told Caleb to run down to the stage and maybe the Wiggles would see him. He started down the aisle and Jeff (The purple wiggle) saw him and asked Caleb "Do you love Maury?" and all Caleb could say was "Uh huh". (By the way, I had the camera and was trying desperately to take pictures of Jeff and Caleb talking but was so excited that instead of zooming I was cutting the camera on and off!!!) Anyway Caleb came back down to me and I sent him right back again to try to make eye contact with Maury. HE DID!!! Maury waved at him!!! I was on cloud 9! Caleb and I went back up to our seats to finish watching the show and all of the sudden Maury is getting ready to do his guitar solo and he mentioned that he had just seen a little boy that was dressed up just like him and wondered where he had gone to! I start hitting Marcus in the arm saying "That's Caleb, they are talking about Caleb!!!!" Marcus had gone off into la la land and didn't realize it!! Marcus came "to" and said "Should I take him down there?" I was like "YES!!" So he did and down they went, they stopped the concert and talked to Caleb! Caleb got on the stage and strummed his guitar with Maury! I have never been so excited in my life! I am going to post pictures as soon as I can get to Marcus' computer!!
