- 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!

Blub, blub, blub!

Aww. The fish food is
on top of the t*nk...

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.

You're going to be

- 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

- 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!
