Trish took Orion to see the Wiggles at the Tacoma dome for his birthday. We just got the pics Shannon took.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wiggles 

"The concepts of early childhood development and how young children learn influenced their songwriting, simple choreography, stage shows, videos, and television programmes. They believed that young children are egocentric, so they stared continually into the camera in their videos and TV shows, and explained every action because they believed that young children needed to be told what to expect in order to feel safe. Their stage shows were full of action and audience participation.[5] From the group's inception, The Wiggles decided to

"operate from the premise that a young child has a short attention span, is curious about a limited number of objects and activities, loves having a job to do and is thrilled by mastering basic movements".[5]
