Crank it Up!
Friday, August 31st, 2012Andrew has always loved music. It doesn’t really matter what type. He’ll listen to anything from county and jazz to rock and rap. Loud music doesn’t particularly bother him either.
So last night when an extra ticket opened up to the Train concert, I brought him with me. He was totally into the idea. But the second the music started…”mommy, too loud! let’s go home”
My mom had the foresight to pick up a couple pairs of ear plugs before we got there. So we tried one pair that kinda made Andrew look a little Frankenstein-ish. That lasted half a song.
We tried the other pair. That held him for maybe a song and a half. But he was done.
We got as far as the exit before a very nice woman asked Andrew if he wanted to be her special helper at the door. He could hear the music downstairs where it was quieter and check out all the people, making sure that no one came in without a ticket. THAT he was totally into.
Finally, he looks at me and asked to go back to his seat. “I want to go back and see the concert! That is my decision.” With Andrew’s official decree, we went back up to the seats and he made it through almost the entire concert. (Yes, with ear plugs)
Overall, it was a good experience. He had fun, got to hear some great music and hang out with the family. But hopefully our next concert experience we get to see the whole thing 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone.
