Savannah loved the Wiggles and frankly, I didn't mind. If it was a choice between a big purple dinosaur singing with freakishly excited children and four colorful men with Australian accents, I'd choose the foreigners any day! I know some parents wonder what drives four grown men with musical ability to limit themselves to singing about "Henry the Octopus" and "Vegetable Soup", but as long as my toddler is entertained and I'm not completely annoyed I approve! And I really don't mind looking at Anthony either. He reminds me of Tom and is my all-time favorite Wiggle ... did I just say that out loud? As with all phases, the Wiggles movement came and went in our home. One too many "Big Red Cars" and Savannah moved on to more mature entertainment like Cinderella and Sid the Science Kid. Although I missed Anthony, the change was just fine with me. In fact, I thought we were done Wiggling altogether. That is until Benjamin, thanks to his cousin Max, was introduced to the wonders of "You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'" and "One Finger, One Thumb Keep Moving". Now it's Wiggles 24/7 if we let him. Welcome back, Anthony my friend!!

The Wiggles Obsession

It's funny that you said that you think Anthony is cute! I wasn't attracted to any of them till one day, a girl I went to Russia with asked who our "geek crush" was. I couldn't think of anyone. Then, The croc hunter died, and I was looking at a bunch of pictures from the funeral online. Anthony was there in normal clothes. He immediately became my pick!
Glad you have them back in your life! (I think they will be back in mine pretty soon.)
