YOOOOO GABBA GABBA!

If you have never watched the show Yo Gabba Gabba, you are missing out. It is annoying (for parents) yet amazing (for children). The show actually has really good messages. They sing songs like "Don't be afraid" (of the dark), "Don't bite your friends", "Don't hit your friends" all kinds of fun stuff. They have lots of random dances (dancey dances), cool tricks, etc. If you haven't watched it, you should check it out :)

We found out in March that Gabba Live was coming to town, and decided it was a must we take the babes! (Eli, Carter, Olivia and Nellie!) So glad we did.
When we got there Eli had a frakin' panic attack. Seriously. I mean wouldn't you?? These things that he thought were inside the TV were all of the sudden 20 feet in front of him and 8 feet tall. If you are 20 months old, you might poop your pants too! We walked in probably 1.5 minutes late and they were shooting confetti and streamers out of this thingy, which just so happened to be right in front of our seats. (that were amazing, thanks to Kim!) And E FREAKED OUT. He had his hands up by his head and was shaking like crazy, and started crying hysterically. His fingernails were digging into my neck...not a great feeling. I was about to start crying too, because I wanted him to like it so bad, and our tickets were a lot of money...hahaha. So I bought him a little flashy light thingy, and a tshirt to try to make life happier, and instead he just wanted to play with the balloon that Kim got for him. Whatever works I do suppose :) He warmed up after a few minutes and was ok. He never got full on excited and never did dance through the isles like Nellie and Carter, but he loved it. :) It was a happy, proud mama moment!
Here are the pictures. I can't wait for many more "Live" shows for us to take the kids to!!
