I'm tired.I took the boys to see their rock-star idols, the Jonas Brothers, last night. It was Griffin and Hayden's first concert.They know every word to every song, and emulate their idols in our family room each night, holding their toy guitars while rocking out. I wish I could capture the excitement on their faces and put it in a drawer for safekeeping.When singers Nick, Joe, and Kevin first appeared, flames shot up from the edge of the stage. My boys were frozen in time. Hayden's mouth dropped open. For the next twenty-five minutes, he didn't say a word, open-mouthed and completely in awe.Toward the end of the show, I asked Griff if he was ready to leave, and he said, "Mom, it's my first concert. I'm staying till the very last song."And we did.On the drive home, Griffin asked me things like why were girls crying, and why were they screaming things like, "I love you, Nick!" He couldn't understand it.I smiled when Griff put his arm around me as I tucked him in to bed. He said, "Mom, this was the best day of my life...EVER."Spoken like a true rock star.

Too cute! I'm so excited that you were able to get tickets! I can only imagine how cute they were during the show. I still love to watch Hayden's youtube debut! I'm sorry that you lost some sleep time, but I'm sure their faces were worth it! You're such a great Mom!
I can still remember taking Jen to see New Kids on the Block. I think I enjoyed the concert as much as she did. She finds it amusing that I still have her jacket and toys from her collection of their stuff. DR
