First Concert Autism

Now I know how Kreed's family feels when they take him to concerts. If you don't know who Kreed is then you have to look up Kreed's World. Kreed has autism and though Doodle isn't has sever as Kreed some of her regression prevents her from doing a lot of things right now. This was Doodle's first concert and I had been really nervous about it. I wasn't sure how she was going to react. But she did awesome and clapped and cheered at appropriate parts. She was getting tired without help from melatonin by the time Tobymac got on the stage at 9:00 pm.

Yep, Doodle went to see Tobymac. And she loved it. This was her very first concert and she had a blast. She sang the chorus on some songs and decided since there was no one sitting in the seats in front of us she was going to sit in one of them. I didn't mind as long as she didn't bolt for it. She did great. She laughed and yelled out. Jumped around and danced. Her favorite part of the concert was when the confetti was flying around the room.

Of course we bought swag. Can't go to a concert and not come back with what you want. Doodle and myself got shirts that read Label me a Jesus Freak. And her Uncle who went to the concert with us got, This is not a Test t-shirt. I also got the CD for his new album because it was cheaper then at the Christian store.

It was a great family time at the concert. We all danced and sang. A great time was had. And yes I will do it again. I can't wait until Newsboys come our way or Big Daddy Weave. Of course it will be awesome when Jamie Grace comes to our little neck of the woods.

You guys have a great day and I will see you guys on Wednesday!

Getting ready for the concert.

Tobymac and Hollyn rehearsing before the concert. She pranked him by wearing a shirt identical to his.

Tobymac and Michael from Newsboys. For those who don't know Michael and Tobymac were in the group DC Talk. The number one song of all time was and is Jesus Freak.

Tobymac and Diversecity

Waiting for the concert to start.

The shirts Doodle and I got.

This is the Princess. She is Nirva Ready and she is the only woman in Diversecity, so Doodle calls her the princess. Mrs. Ready has the best voice!
