Barney's Birthday Bash

On Saturday, January 15, 2011, we made Seven the happiest three year old alive! We were at a friend's Birthday party when we told him what we where we were about to go...

In case you didn't know, Seven is Barney's BIGGEST fan! We were waiting for Barney to start. Sorry if this video grosses you out, but he is three, what more can I say?

I thought it was nice of Barney to invite Seven and lots of other children and their parents to his Birthday party. 

I'd say he was enjoying himself.

There he is, Barney, in all his purple glory. He was welcoming everyone to his Birthday Bash.

Seven was so tired! Barney's Birthday Bash was during Seven's nap time. We had the option of either going at 11:00 or 3:30. We chose 3:30 so we could go to a friend's Birthday party also.

Barney and his over-joyous friends (back-up dancers) dancing on stage. I must say that they were extremely animated! I know that is one job that I definitely could NOT do. There is absolutely no way I could even pretend to be that excited dancing on stage with Barney. 

B.J., Riff, Barney, and Baby Bop. 

Seven stayed awake the whole time. It looks like he is intensely watching...he was!

What's a Birthday party without streamers? Barney shot out streamers and they really flew far! We were sitting in the middle section and an orange one landed right in front of Seven. Little did Barney know that orange is Seven's FAVORITE color! Seven brought it home with him.

And of course, when you make a mess, you have to clean it up...

There was a 15 minute intermission. During that intermission, Jeremy took Seven to go eat some cotton candy, thinking some sugar would help to wake him up some. Seven also came back with this nice souvenir that had Barney, Baby Bop, B.J., and Riff on it. It also lit up, as you can tell. He has taken very good care of it since he has brought it home. He stores it on the top shelf of his closet so no one can mess with it and so nothing happens to it.

I was trying to get a good picture of Seven with his "wand", but he wouldn't ever hold it beside his face. He was so tired, he didn't want to cooperate and kept putting it in front of his face. Oh well, at least you get to see the "wand" from two different angles.

I can't end this blog post without Barney's infamous song!

You may be wondering, "Why in the world would you let your kid watch Barney?!?" Well, you need to ask Granny Joyce that question, not me. She is the one who introduced Seven to Barney. If it were up to me, Seven would have no clue that Barney exists! Once Seven knew who Barney was, he developed a great love for the big purple dinosaur. When he was younger, it was almost as if Barney was a drug. Now, Seven is his BIGGEST fan! At least Barney promotes good things and has good morals. I guess it's not too bad, it could be worse...
