- Blub, blub, blub. Ha! Ha! Blub, blub, blub. Ha!
Hi Neighbor! It's me, Daniel Tiger! Blub, blub.
Guess what I'm pretending to be?
Blub, blub, blub, blub,
A fish!
Do you have fish at your house?
I do. And I get to feed them.
Let's feed them together. Swim with me!
Blub, blub, blub! Blub, blub, blub!
Aww. The fish food is on top of the tank...
I'm not quite big enough to reach it...
But I'm so so so close!
- Got it! Hey! I was big enough to reach the fish food!
Mom! Dad!
I reached the fish food by myself!
- My big tiger. - I think you must have grown!
- I did. I' m bigger now. I grew.
- You remembered to feed the fish this morning
all by yourself. You're growing on the outside
and on the inside too! - Thanks, dad.
Are there things you can do now that you're bigger?
I like being bigger.
Let's go give the fishies some fish breakfast!
Are you hungry in there?
Eat up, yummy, yummy, yummy.
Blub. Oooh... Hey, look!
Do you see what I see?
I see baby fish!
There's a red one and ...
a yellow one. These baby fish weren't here yesterday.
Mom!ad! Come see!
- Our fish had babies. - Yes they did.
- Hi baby fishies!
- You know what, Daniel?
Mom and I have something important
we want to tell you. - You do? What?
- Come sit with us on the couch, my fuzzy guy,
we'll talk about it. - Okay. Let's talk about it.
- Well Daniel, our family is going to have a new baby, too.
- We are? When? Now? Is the baby here?
- No Daniel, the baby is still growing, in here.
- In there? There's a baby in there!?
- Yes. That's where babies grow until they are ready to be born.
Just like you did when you were a baby. See?
- There's Mom ... and there's you, growing inside.
- And when you grew big enough, you were born.
And our family got bigger. - That's me?
- That's you. You were a pretty cute little baby.
But now you're bigger. And you're going to be
a big brother. And a big brother is a big helper.
** You can be a big helper in your family *
- * You can be a big helper
* In your family *
But, how will I help? Can I ... hold the baby?
- Here let me show you with Tigey.
Dad and I can help you hold the baby,
when you're sitting down, like this.
***
- Woah. Did you know that you hold a baby like this?
- Holding the baby is just one of the ways you can help
when you're a big brother.
- Well ... I guess I can be a big helper tiger.
- Dad and I love you very much, my big helper tiger.
- I love you, too.
Can I go to school now?
- Of course! I'll get your backpack.
- I can carry it, Dad! I'm already a big helper, see?
- I do see!
- I'll just put the fish food back--
- I'll get it! Helping again!
Bye fishies. Bye baby fishies.
Let's go to school.
Hi Trolley! (Ding! Ding!)
Please take me to school. (Ding! Ding!)
- ** We're on our way to school today, what a lovely day *
* Won't you ride along with me? - (Daniel): Ride along *
- * Won't you ride along with me **
(Ding! Ding!) - Thanks, Trolley.
(gasps) Look! It's a squirrel family!
And they have a little baby, too!
- So they do!
- There are babies ... everywhere!
- My family is having a baby,
and the squirrel family has a baby.
I wonder what it would be like if there were lots and lots
of little animal babies in the neighborhood?
Hey! Do you want to make-believe with me?
Let's make-believe that all the animals
in the neighborhood had new babies!
** Babies everywhere I see

I think the baby needs her bottle.
Where is her bottle? - I see the baby bottle,
Katerina, up on top of that shelf.

- Meow meow, I can't reach it!
Daniel, can you help me get the baby bottle? I need it!
- But ... I'm the baby.

- I wish that my family was having a new baby.
Can I visit the baby sometimes? - OK.
- And hold the baby? And play with it?
And feed it? And dress it? And, and--
- Well ... You can visit the baby any time you want.
- Thanks, Daniel. Meow meow.
You're going to be a good big brother.
- Thanks, Katerina.
- I'm going to be a big brother, and help my family.
What do you do to help your family?
Ugga Mugga.
A new baby in the family is so special.
- This is Aleks. She's getting
a new baby in her family.
- Hey Aleks, do you want to come in and help me with the baby's room?
- Hi Dad, can I help?
- Sure can, sit down.
- She's helping her dad put the crib together.
- Here, put it long ways...
You got it?
- Her hands are just the right size.
- Hey Aleks, do you want to see some of the baby things
that we have to put away? - Yeah.
- Here's a little teddy bear. That's awfully cute.
And we have some baby blankets, too.
And look at these little socks that we have.
Open those up, let's see how small they are.
- She's too big for the baby carrier.
But it's just the right size for the baby.
Good idea, Aleks.
- Aww, that looks great. It'll look great right up here.
- I can't wait to meet their new baby.
- Hi, neighbor! It's me, Daniel Tiger!
- Hi, Neighbor!
- We're getting the new baby's room ready.
Do you want to see it? Come on!
- Look! Dad painted the walls
soooo pretty - so the baby will like it.
- Hello, Neighbor. - And I helped.
- Thanks, Daniel. - You're welcome!
Look! I painted this flower.
Let's paint some more! Hmm ...
What should we paint next?
- How about ... a bright yellow sun?
Will you help me paint a sun?
Better put on my smock ...
Dad! Can we paint a sun in the baby's room?
- That's a nice idea, Daniel.
- Heres the yellow paint.
Let's paint a big circle for the sun.
Ready? A big yellow circle.
There. And now we need some sun rays.
Lines like this and like this.
There. A sun.
- Wowee, Daniel! The sun looks so bright!
You are such a big helper with the baby's room!
- Thanks.
- * You can be a big helper in your family *
- I like that song! I am a big helper!
* You can be a big helper in your family *
- Our family is getting bigger
because my Mom is going to have a baby!
- I am going to have a baby.
And my Daniel is a big helper!
You did such a nice job painting the baby's room.
- Thanks mom. We made the sun!
Um, can I sit on your lap?
- Ok, just be a little careful, Daniel.
- Ooof. Wait! I slid off of your lap! Why?
- It's harder to sit on my lap now, because of my belly.
How about you snuggle here, beside me?
- Okay, this is nice, too.
- Sometimes I can feel the baby move!
- I felt it!
Helllloooo baby! This is Daniel, your big brother!
And you know, I'm going to be a big helper to you.
* You can be a big helper in your family *
- I think the baby likes it when you sing.
- What else do you think the baby will like?
- Well the baby might like it
when you read one of your books...
- Like, Tigey the Adventure Tiger?
- Yup.
- Tigey the Adventure Tiger!
Where is the baby going to sleep?
- Well, I was thinking ...
we could use your old crib!
- My old crib? But, my old crib is mine!
I love my old crib. Can I go in it?
- Well, sure. OK.
- Up, up! There we are.
Is it still the right size for you?
- GRR. Well, no...
I can't... really ... lie ... down ....
- That's because you are so much bigger, now.
- I am. And I have a trolley bed.
I love my trolley bed.
So, maybe the baby can use my old crib?
- I think that's a very nice idea,
and you saying that shows me that you are growing inside...
and outside. I'm proud of you.
- Thanks, Dad. I think I'm big enough to help you push the crib
into place! I'm big and strong! Grrrr!
* You can be a big helper in your family *
- OK, Dad. Let's - uhhh -
move this crib - ugh! There!
Now the baby has a place to sleep!
- Thanks for being a big helper, Daniel.
- That's what a big brother does.
- What are those? - These are your old
baby clothes. - Wow!
- Look at this little red sweater!
This was your first sweater!
- I wore this little sweater?
- You did! But now, I thought we could give some
of your old clothes to the new baby.
- My old clothes?
But, but...what if I still want to wear them?
I just have to ... put it ...
over my head ... like this...
- See? It...fits...
- Okay, it doesn't fit. I'm too big!
- But ... Tigey can fit into the sweater!
- Sort of. See? Tigey likes this sweater.
- Tigey, the sweater looks good on you!
Daniel, you can have this baby sweater for Tigey, if you want.
But what about all the rest of these clothes?
- Well, since I'm so big that I don't fit into them anymore,
maybe the baby can wear them?
- I think the baby will like that. Thank you.
- Wow. When I was a baby,
I was small enough to sleep in that crib!
And, I was small enough to wear these baby clothes!
I was a baby. And you were a baby.
And all of my friends were babies, too.
Hey ... do you want to make-believe with me?
Let's make believe that ...
we're all babies again!
** We all start out small and then we grow up *
* Buada bah daba bah bubah
* We all said goo goo ga ga goo goo ga ga *
* Goo goo ga ga goo goo goo ga ga ga *
* Goo goo ga ga goo goo ga ga ga *
* Goo goo ga ga goo goo goo ga ga ga *
* We all start out small and then we grow up *
* Bubada bah bada bah bubaaaaaah **
- Goo goo ga ga! Ahh, that was grrrr-ific!
Sometimes I like pretending to be a baby.
(doorbell rings) - Someone's at the door!
- Speedy Delivery! I have a Speedy Delivery here
from Grandpère. - Oh how nice, Mr. McFeeley.
- Is the speedy delivery for me? Is it?
- That's for the new baby.
- The baby gets presents?
- Oh my word. Look how little and soft this blanket is!
- It's nice. - Oh! And I almost forgot!
I have something here for you, too, Daniel. From Grandpère!
- For me? - For you!

I've got lots of speedy deliveries to make!
Speedy Delivery! And I hope you have a speedy delivery too!
- OK, thank you. Good bye! - Bye bye!
- See you soon! - I wonder what it can be?
- Wow! - Oh Daniel, Grandpère sent you
a big brother button!
Now everyone will know that you are going to be a big brother.
- Wow. Grandpère remembered me, too.
I feel so special. Do you like it?
Now everyone will know that I'm big! A big brother!
- Come on, I want you all to see the baby's room
It's all finished! - Alright.
- OK, Mom Tiger. Ready?
- Wow, oh my!
This is nice. You did such a nice job!
- Mom!, Mom! See the sun we made?
- Daniel was a big helper.
- Oh, I think we are ready for the baby to come!
- I have an idea! The baby's room needs one more thing!
Will you come help me? Come on, follow me!
- The baby's room needs a picture of our family
This is me. I'm really big.
I'm wearing my red sweater and it's a big red sweater.
And here's the baby. The baby's so little.
I'm holding the baby. 'Cause I'm the big brother.
And here's Mom and Dad.
Our family! There.
Do you like it?
Lets go show mom and dad. Here, Mom! Here, Dad!
- I want to put this picture right there
so the baby can see it! Our family!

Let's see if Aleks is a big sister yet.
- It's time for Aleks to meet her baby sister at the hospital.
- I missed you.
- That's Thea, Aleks' baby sister. Hi, Thea.
- I'm going to go finish packing up, alright?
- It's time for the family to go home.
The people at the hospital took good care of Mom and the baby.
The nurse helps them as they leave the hospital.
Welcome home, Thea.
- Mom, can I hold the baby now? - Sure.
Make sure you put your arm under her head there.
Hold her with that hand too.
- Aleks is starting to learn about being a big sister.
I think Aleks is going to be a big helper to her family.
- I can't wait to be a big brother.
