5 Years Old

Today The Kid turns 5, and we're having a party. We have a number of activities planned for the kids that will be occurring at different stations in the space where we're celebrating. One of the stations will be for music and dancing. When I asked him what music, he quickly replied: Matt Ward, Pete Seeger and the Beatles. I've got all of Matt Ward's recordings on my iPod, and Pete Seeger's Children's Concert and 1963 Carnegie Hall concert have long been on the iPod as favorites on car rides, but most of our Beatles are on LPs and CDs around the house. We're not bringing LPs, of course, but The Kid insisted we collect all of our Beatles CDs for the party: Let It Be, Let It Be ... Naked, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Revolver and Help! And then The Kid said, "will you post Eleanor Rigby on your blog? The one from Yellow Submarine..."
