Where Did My Babies Go?

When the girls were born, everybody told me the same cliches about how they would grow up so fast. Recently, this has become all too real for me.

This past Wednesday, a friend called because they had 3 front row tickets to the Wiggles Concert at the CenturyTel and their 2 year old was throwing up, so they offered them to us. For those of you who know the girls well, you remember that about a year and a half ago the "Goggles" (as they called them) were the girls' obsession. When I asked the girls if they wanted to go, Leslie immediately jumped at the chance to have date with her daddy. What was Lacie's response? "I don't want to go. The Wiggles are too 'babyish'." My 4 1/2 year old is now passing judgement on things that are too babyish for her.

So we are now past the Wiggles, and we have a new musical obsession:

THE JONAS BROTHERS!!!

The girls even have 'favorite' Jonas Brothers, just like I remember doing with my sister and The New Kids on the Block. Lacie likes Joe (the one in the middle), Leslie likes Nick (the one on the left - she says he's the "cute, funny one"). They told me I could have Kevin (the one on the right, which coincidentally is a good thing, because he's the only one over 18). They have even gone so far as to ask if they could have the Jonas Brothers come to their house for Christmas. I hate to disappoint them, but their tour isn't coming anywhere near here, so they're out of luck for now.

So, alas.... my babies are now about to enter their last year of preschool before they go to real kindergarten, they don't like the Disney cartoons anymore; they much prefer the "big kid" shows like The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and Hannah Montana. They are eagerly anticipating the theatrical release of High School Musical 3... And evidently they are now too big for the Wiggles.
