Barney 12 sept 2010

V is now in purple kingdom...


Was a regular sunday, went to church had lunch, weather was hot hot hot and we had a cranky lil gal :(

The plan was to go expo early and collect our tickets, walked around and go for Barney at 5pm.. but she was all whiney due to the weather and we dropped her at the grands, for her nap. DD T stayed with her while I made the trip to expo to collect the tickets.

I surprised her by getting her a Barney T-shirt.... she was beaming! She has just woken up from her 1.5 hrs nap and was pleasantly surprised with a new gift!

We gave her tea, changed her and she wanted to watch a little TV and so Grandpa Ng played a Barney DVD for about 10 mins before we left for the concert.

She didn't know what was up, just very excited to see the purple dino and wanted to take a photo. Brought her to the "store" and wanted to buy her toys but she said "NO" to everything. So emo .... but the again the toys were really ugly. But thanks to peer pressure! while inside the hall, she told DD T to bring her to the store for she saw everyone else carrying a toy.

Concert started exactly at 5pm which was great... you should have seen V's face when she saw Barney up close and personal! she was in shock, disbelief for he was so big! and I guess for a little child it was a dream come true to actually see what was on TV come real. You know, imagination is a very important tool in a child's upbringing. By the time, the child turns 3 years old, they believe everything that they see and read in books, may it be fairies, witches, mickey and minnies... they thrive on it. (Well, I still believe that fairies, pixies, witches and wizards exists.. *opps) That's where they start creating characters in their mind, write stories, have the ability to use them in their creative aspect in their school work. I was told by Teacher Lin that the best time to visit Disneyland is actually at 3-5 years old, this allows them to believe that whatever they read does exist!!

Its V's 3rd concert this year, totally worth the training for her to be comfortable in such environment. So by the time she reaches 2 years old and gets her own seat, she will be all ready. Doesn't help that all the grands are so supportive in her going, for they know she will one of those children who enjoys such. Slowly but surely, we are asking for sponsorship! Grandpa Ng paid for this (shiok right!)... He was so excited to see his precious telling him how big barney was, how purple he was, showing off her toy, telling Pops she blew kisses to him. Muahahah... They are so going to bring her next time when she is all trained, they can help me bring her to disney on ice etc.....

My friends, Ry's mummy told me that she thinks that Barney is satan's gay son, hahhahah I used too hate this fellow too! But that is of course before I had a child... So if Barney is that, Bert and Ernie are gay partners, than how?? Nothing to watch liaoz.. keke

 she was in shock.. not sure if she was dreaming or not! check out DD T's smile.. as if the concert is for him! hyak hyak

Purple

the cast... i have NO idea what are the names of the rest of the dinos

During break time.. playing with her toys... we had it changed to big barney. 

I wasn't able to get the 1st 5 rows for the $78 tickets, for by the time I decided to get the tickets (can't decide on barney or sesame st, but in the end Grandma Tay told me to bring her to watch S.S next round, for she is still less than 2 and S.S are suitable for 3-11 yrs old. Quite true actually, for V doesn't like S.S anymore.. for now I guess) was left with row 8-10zzzzz to far! and I wanted aisle seats. If you really need to know, I don't like Vizpro seatings for they are very snug especially with a toddler on the laps. So I took a gamble and bought $68,which is the side seatings and I got the 4th row which I'm very pleased about.

After the break, V got warmed up and started to walk around, her favourite is the toy store. She kept going there to look at more stuffies

insisted on sitting on the table top of the toy store and played with the stuffs, told the jie jie that she wanted the bag, so we borrowed it for a while to carry her barney about. 

Towards the end of the concert, she was dancing, wagering her fingers to the music, obviously very happy with what was going on. At one point, we walked to the railings that separated the stage to the seats and she pulled herself up and shouted "BARBEY" hahah groupie la this gal! She was blowing kisses to him and waving her goodbyes when it ended... when we were out of the hall and asked her if she enjoyed the surprise we gave her and she said "HaAPPY" As a parent, the feeling is priceless.... 

In the car, we played her Barney DVD and she was baby singing, definitely very happy. I believe just like us as adults after going to a great concert and re-watching it on tv, the feeling is way shiokadoos... I know she is in her dreamland now, playing with her BARBEY.  

till the next concert.... Baby SSO in November.
