when they walked in they assumed it was anna they needed to turn their attention to. when she buried her head in my shoulder i said oh no-this one here is the big fan, and murray-you are her favorite. so he sat right next to her and talked to her for the thirty seconds we had their attention. and she hasnt stopped talking about it since. mckenna is to murray as cathy is to neil finn and tara is to heath ledger.
That is amazing Tara! I am sure that she will always remember this!
Aren’t the Wiggles wonderful!! I remember seeing Anthony (blue wiggle) with his band the Cockroaches when I was at Uni 20 years ago and he is still great.
AWWWWWWWWWWWW!! MAN! Tara! I can feel her beaming from here. That is just the sweetest.
You can just see the sheer joy on her face! How very cool! I love the shot of all you too. What a great memory!
…as I am to David Cassidy….!
man! how did you get so lucky to have Miss M meet the Wiggles? love that excitement in her eyes – so fun!!
how unreal that your girls got to meet the wiggles Tara!! being an aussie girl with 2 small kids who LOVE the wiggles i can imagine their excitement..did they mind the (newGREG)sam?? my daughter wasn’t so sure but jack couldn’t care less!!
WOW! How lucky is ms. mckenna!?
How was the “new” Greg?
Oh, that is just way too cool!!!! How fun for McKenna!!!!
how incredibly fun for her! yeah!
That is so great that Mckenna got to see them again!! She looks SO happy!!
Wow!! My 2.5 year old daughter pushed down my monitor because she got so excited seeing the Wiggles on my computer screen. I can not imagine what she would do if she actually went to their concert. Congrats to Mckenna! Thanks for sharing.
great story!
What a special day for McKenna. I bet you will make her a little scrapbook all about it. Please share when you do!
Also please reveal how you got those shots indoors without a flash. Did you use a prime lens or special setting (besides adjusting the speed)?
Good for you for advocating for your daughter to meet the Wiggles in person. I’m sure it wasn’t easy.
very cooL!
we went thru the wiggles phase and got to see them once it was fuN!
too precious!
i don’t like the new greg! wah!

my friends took their son and daughter to that same concert (I bet you were both there) and they had an awesome time too!
The minute i clicked on your blog and the pics came up tears came to my eyes. I can imagine the overwhelming joy you felt at seeing your child have that moment!! How amazing!
So, so cool. Glad she had that opportunity.

S*W*E*E*T…
The smile on her face is priceless. What a wonderful experience that she will never forget.
Great pics! We did the Wiggles concert aboug a year ago and had a blast! I love McKenna’s happy face. What a wonderful moment!
Looks like you guys had a blast.
What great pics you got. We were there too. My 18 month old is a Wiggles fanatic! He sat quietly (very unlike him) on my husbands lap the entire concert, just staring at them and then staring at the screen. I think he was in shock!
that is soo cool Tara!! :)
that is so cool Tara!! :)
What an awesome thing to have happen to you guys- you can see the joy in her eyes!
how cool is it that you and the girls got to meet the wiggles!!
How wonderful that the Wiggles do meet & greets for their special little fans on this planet that deserve to meet them the most. that is one of the things i love most about that group. I am sure that was one of the coolest moments EVER for you & McKenna. Thanks for sharing! my little one is a total Murray freak too, I know how cool it is to meet him! :)
Aren’t those Wiggles guys THE GREATEST for having so much patience and being so cool all the time? I don’t know how they always look so happy when you know that they have to be completely worn out! :> We took our 4yo to see them in November and I think that I enjoyed the show as much as she did!! :) Did you also take roses and dog bones? I remember when she was in the hospital & you said that she was watching HOT POTATOES over and over… she has been a fan for a looooong time! Isn’t it the greatest, watching kids have these incredible, surreal moments? Definitely one of the best parts of parenthood. :)
Thats so awesome
awww. i love her face, she is just beaming!
Oh, seeing these photos makes me smile so much! We saw the Wiggles with Sam last summer (Greg had fainted earlier that day, so he was unable to perform) and we had so much fun. Mckenna looks so happy! :)
Tara,
That is SO awesome! The look on her face is priceless.
the look on Mckenna’s face is the purest form of magic you could ever wish to see. Sniff sniff, makes my eyes well up xx
How did you accomplish this great miracle? So rad that you CAN make her dreams come true!
OMG! I have tears in my eyes… McKenna met the Wiggles!!!!! That is just sooooo awesome, Tara!!!! :)
