Anyone else think this is weird?

One of the parents of a kiddo at M's daycare is taking their daughter to Pittsburgh this weekend to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live. That's about 3-4 hours from here. And the little girl is only 8 months old.

Weird?

Would you drive that far or even go to something like that with your 8 m/o?

Definitely weird!

I do think its weird. It seems like a lot of effort, but then some people are into giving their kids everything and going to all lengths. To each their own. All I know is that I didn't even take J to see Sesame Street when their show came through town, but I thought he would be totally freaked out by it!

I wouldn't but that's just me. There's no way Evan would have say still for that long at that age and I feel like it would have been a frustrating experience.

I wouldn't because its Yo Gabba Gabba but that's beside the point.

With A we were much more reserved in what we took him to making sure it was age appropriate, worth the money and all that. That being said... J has done way more in 4 months than A did at the same age. Disneyland, zoo, road trip to another state and multiple kiddie parties but that's because we don't want to restrict what we do with A because J is young so we just tote him along too. J is pretty easy baby and we still keep eyes on time though because bed and nap are still important so we try to make sure A and J are getting enough sleep and their sleep routines not disturbed too much.

Yes definitely! But, I see enjoylife's point.

Yeah, it's odd. An 8 mo old shouldn't even be "watching" TV. However, maybe the parents just secretly love Yo Gabba Gabba? Obviously, someone in their house is watching it!

dee12807 · January 2013

No older sibling or other group of people going? Yup that's weird...

I vote weird.

Most 8mth olds, mine included, are not going to sit through something like that. To me it would be a big waste of time, energy and money.

I know, right? Really strange... They just claim that she really loves Yo Gabba Gabba. I don't remember M loving any show at that age. He really liked Eebee Baby around a year old, but even then I highly doubt taking him 4 hours away and spending money on a live concert would even cross my mind!!

Weird, because to an 8 month old it's probably the same as watching it on a big screen tv.

lrn327 · January 2013

Since C wouldn't even sit through it at two years, I definitely think eight months is crazy!

jnicolen1 · January 2013

Nope. Wouldn't take him to a "tv character show". Especially that one. I hate to gabba gabba. Too overstimulating.

No way. Reese is a nightmare in the car for one thing - that is way too long of a drive for something that they won't even understand or maybe even like! Yuck!

EVM1216 · January 2013

That's crazy. All 8 month olds want to do is squirm/crawl around, save your money and your sanity and wait a year or two.

watermellens · January 2013

very weird!!!

tiffanyp · January 2013

Yes, that's weird for an 8-month-old with no siblings. I considered getting tickets to the San Jose show, but that would have been 45 minutes in the car for a 20-month-old. I decided not to go because at that point Avery was shifting her interest from Yo Gabba Gabba to Caillou. You'll have to ask them about it afterwards and report back

jarebearsmom · January 2013

That is strange. I didn't even take j to see Elmo when they were an hour away last year

onlymeggan · January 2013

Yo Gabba Gabba isn't allowed in my house to begin with because they creep me out LOL I wouldn't dare take an 8 mos old to a show let alone that far away. J got to go to the circus a month ago and I was surprised how well he did with that at 2.
