Recently, Tom unearthed a bunch of DVDs in the basement. He pulled out Yellow Submarine, and nostalgically put it on for the kids. He quickly realized there’s some adult stuff that maybe shouldn’t be viewed by kids, but Neko and Shep were entranced. He edited out all the inappropriate stuff, and now the kids can’t get enough of it.
A few days later, he managed to find his collection of Beatles figurines. They spent years on display in our old house, but Tom decided he’d rather see them played with.
Now, Shep isn’t much a of a toy kid. There are few things, other than his guitar, that he’s really latched onto. But he loves these Beatles characters. We keep finding him in front of the computer, watching Yellow Submarine with his friends, John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
