- Whoa, whoa.

This bike is getting really hard to peddle.

- Whoa oh oh whoa!

- [David] Barney!

- Well, hello David.

It looks like you've just about outgrown that bicycle.

- I think you're right.

- Hi everybody.

- [David] Hi Laura.

- Have you seen Baby Bob?

I was supposed to meet her here.

- Here I am!

- [Barney] There she is.

- [Laura] Hi Baby Bop.

- Hi Baby Bop. - Hi guys!

- [Everyone] Hey B.J.!

- We're having a tea party and everyone's invited.

- [Barney] Why, thank you, Baby Bop.

- Yeah, sure, thanks, sissy.

- Oh, but B.J., we still got some bike riding to do, right?

- Oh yeah, that's right!

Gotta go, later!

- Bye.

- But, oh!

- It's okay, Baby Bop.

We've got juice, sandwiches, all kinds of--

- Oh no, I forgot the table cloth.

- Maybe we could use your blankey.

- Oh oh oh, no, not my yellow blankey.

It's too special for that.

Hold on, boys.

♪ I like blankey

♪ It's very, very yellow

♪ I like it even better than a bowl of Jell-o

♪ When I hold it close

♪ It feels just right

♪ She likes her yellow blankey in the day and night

♪ I like my yellow blankey in the day and night

♪ I do

♪ My blankey is so special

♪ And very, very yellow

♪ I like to keep it with me

♪ When I say hello

♪ When I hold it close

♪ It feels just right

♪ She likes her yellow blankey in the day and night

♪ I like my yellow blankey in the day and night

It's the best blankey in the whole world.

♪ My blankey feels so soft like a big marshmallow

♪ But I like it most

♪ Because it's oh so yellow

♪ When I hold it close

♪ It feels just right

♪ She likes her yellow blankey in the day and night

♪ I like my yellow blankey in the day and night

(laughing)

I do.

- Well, Baby Bop,

we don't need a tablecloth for a tea party.

- Ooh, hey.

- What, is something wrong, Baby Bop?

- Well, yes, something happened to my blankey.

- [Barney] Oh?

- Oh, it looks the same to me.

- But it used to be bigger.

My blankey is getting little.

Oh, you know what?

Everything I have is getting little.

This morning, my tutu was too too small,

and my shoes hurt.

I almost couldn't get them on.

- I don't think your things are getting smaller, Baby Bop.

I think you're growing bigger.

- Bigger?

I am?

Oh, I don't remember growing.

- Well, I can show you how much you've grown.

Would you like to see?

- Yes, I would!

- Okay then, follow me.

Come on. - Come on, guys.

- Right this way.

Okay, Baby Bop, let's see.

So, when you were two years old, you were here.

Now, you're three years old and you're here.

- Oh goodie, I grew.

- You did.

- Wow, you grew more than me, Baby Bop.

- I grew this much.

- And that is me.

- [Everyone] Wow!

- Well, everyone grows.

Not all the same amount and not all at the same time,

but everybody's changing every day.

- And since I'm bigger,

I can brush my teeth without standing on a stool.

- And I can ride my big without training wheels.

- I can ride a scooter all by myself.

- As you grow bigger and bigger,

you can do more and more things by yourself.

Let's see some things you can do by yourself.

(laughing)

Oh, Barney, it'll be so much fun when I can ride a bike

and I can brush my teeth without standing on a stool.

- Oh, it will be, Baby Bop.

- Come on, now we can have our tea party.

- Tea party? - Okay.

- Yay! - Oh no.

- [David] Come on, B.J.

- Tea party time, B.J.

(giggles)

Now, Barney, when will I be big?

- Well, it takes a lot of different things to make you grow,

like getting enough sleep.

- Oh, I do that.

- And eating healthy food.

- I like healthy food.

- And exercising every day.

- Oh goodie, I like to exercise.

And I wanna grow big right now.

Let's grow!

- Okay, wait for me!

(cheerful music)

- Would you like some chips, Baby Bop?

- No, thank you.

I would like some grapes, a banana,

ooh, ooh, maybe an orange, an apple, and some carrots.

Barney said, healthy food makes me grow.

Isn't that right, Barney?

- Well, yes, Baby Bop, that's true, but--

- Whoa!

- Oh, hold on.

- Sissy, look out!

Take it easy, there.

- Ooh, that was good, healthy food.

(giggles)

Okay, now, we have to exercise.

It helps us grow big and strong.

Didn't you say that, Barney?

- Well, yes, Baby Bop, I did, but--

- Okay.

Everybody exercise!

- Shouldn't we wait a while.

She just ate all that food.

- Put my blankey down 'cause we're gonna stretch, people!

- Ooph, maybe we should stop.

- And finish that tea party.

- Yeah, good idea, come on.

- [Baby Bop] I can't stop.

- Exercise is good for you, Baby Bop.

- Yes, I know.

- But rest is good for you too.

- Oh, okay, I can do that too.

- Oh good.

- Okay, done resting.

Come on, Barney, let's go see how much I've grown.

- [Barney] Oh boy, I think it's a little soon

to measure you again, Baby Bop.

Well, let's see.

- Okay, what's the good news?

Oh, I haven't grown at all!

- You can't make yourself grow, Baby Bop.

It takes time.

- I'm still not big enough to ride a bike

or a scooter or brush my teeth without standing on a stool.

- Maybe not, but you're just the right size for you for now.

- I am?

- Oh, yup.

You're exactly as big as Baby Bop,

and you're the only one of you there is.

- Wow! - Whoa!

- So, I will grow big enough to ride a bike like David?

- You sure will, and before you know it.

- Hey, you'll even outgrow your yellow blankey.

- Oh, I will never, ever get too big for my blankey.

- But you can still grow bigger and better

with each new day.

- Oh, and I guess I don't have to grow right now.

I can wait.

- No matter how big you get or when,

you will always be a friend.

- To reach the high notes.

- Sure was.

- That was some terrific skating.

- Oh, I wanna skate.

- Well, I don't think our skates would fit you.

Maybe when you're bigger.

But you know, I found there were other things I could do,
