Benja saw Barney two nights in a row (19 and 20 June, Thu and Fri).
The plan was for Mummy to bring Benja to the Barney show at City Square Mall on Friday evening.
But on Thursday late afternoon, Daddy was facing some bottleneck at work and he decided to call it a day earlier. So he fetched Mummy and we dashed home to pick you up in time for Barney. It was crowded but we managed to squeeze into the cordoned area for a seat. Within 3 minutes after we settled down, the host came out, and Barney, Baby Bop, BJ too.
Barney and his friends sang:
1) Mr Parpanickel
2) Just imagine
3) Green grass grows all around
4) Funny actions
5) Mr Sun
6) I love you
After the show, we hung around and watched kids who had the special passes to take individual photos with Barney. Daddy tried to take photos of us with live Barney as the backdrop. You couldn't take your eyes off Barney, so all we got were either your face with no Barney, or Barney's face with the back of your head.
Mummy and Daddy felt thirsty after the singing, so we went to NTUC to get a drink. At the self-service check-out counter, Mummy noticed people discarding their shopping receipts into the waste paper basket next to it. She got an idea!
Tomorrow, Mummy shall rummage through those bins to get $50 worth of receipts to exchange for a special pass to meet Barney face to face and take a photo with him!! And she did! We took a family photo with Barney, all thanks to our clever Mummy! Isn't she smart??!!
At the second meeting, you knew what to expect, so you were much more excited and active. You reached your hands out and shouted, "Barney!" when Barney appeared on stage. You attempted to sing and sway along with the songs. You cried, "Baby Bop!" a number of times too. Mummy thinks you like Baby Bop more than Barney.
During the photo session, you said you were scared of Barney, so we stood next to Baby Bop instead. As what Mummy had suggested, you touched her head. Yippie!
This was the fun-nest outing we've ever had as a family.
