Then I thought it would be neat if Collin couldget a chance to meet The Wiggles in person, and I decided on a whim to call the theater box office. I explained just how much The Wiggles meant to Collin and what they've helped him get through, and asked whether it would be possible for Collin to meet them. Phone calls were made and emails were sent, and in the end we received an email offering a meet-and-greet. We were so excited, and I couldn't wait to see Collin's reaction when he was face-to-face with The Wiggles!
The concert was yesterday. We had to be there an hour before the show. There were about four or five other families there for the meet-and-greet aswell. We sat in the theater, and talked to two of the dancers. Then Sam, Murray, Anthony, Captain Feathersword, and Brad (who was standing in for Jeff who had recently had surgery and wasn't able to travel yet) came out, and spent time talking and posing for pictures with each family. They were SO very nice!
The concert was a lot of fun, and Bill and I enjoyed it as much as all the kids there. The Wiggles put on a great show; they were very interactive with the wholeaudience, and genuinely looked like they enjoyed every minute of the show! I had expected Collin to sing and dance along as he does at home, but instead he just watched and took it all in. He did fall asleep for a while in the middle (it was his normal naptime, and he couldn't fight sleep any longer), but he woke up before the end of the show. At the end of the show, he kept waving to the stage and saying "Wiggles, Wiggles!" Now, Collin loves to wear his Wiggles concert t-shirt and look at the pictures!
