Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird goes into Hooper's Store, where David is very frustrated with the tons of work he has ahead of him. Big Bird constantly disrupts him to ask for various items (a table cloth, a plate, and a whole cake). He finally calls him outside, where he and the kids (including Tatyana) have set up a birthday party for him to lighten his mood (even though it's not his birthday).

 	Cartoon 	The Bridgekeeper stipulates that answering three questions about the square in his hand is required to cross the bridge. Question One: What is this? Question Two: How many sides does it have? Question Three: What is a square good for? A young man who wishes to cross the bridge has square-shaped building blocks in his backpack. And a girl thinks a square makes a good picture frame. Then along hops a light blue-colored monster with a red winter cap, who proceeds to eat the bridgekeeper's square, the better to satisfy his daily diet of "three square meals."

 	SCENE 2 	Luis leaves home to do some work at the Fix-It Shop, just before Maria feels the baby kick from inside her belly (though nothing happens when Luis touches her belly). Telly is also present and reads a story he's written for the baby: "Don't Worry, Baby," telling it that growing bigger in its mommy's tummy is how things are supposed to happen. Maria feels the baby kick again and calls Luis out the window, but nothing happens when he arrives and feels her stomach again.

Cookie Monster comes along and guesses it's a cookie, then gives up after three guesses. Kermit reveals it's an orange (which he thinks should have been a dead giveaway), and refuses to give him a cookie afterwards, but Cookie Monster gives a heartfelt speech and ends up getting a cookie anyway.

 	SCENE 3 	Big Bird calls Luis outside of the shop to watch Mrs. Honker and her baby do some "honk-bonking," where they honk their noses on each other's. Maria calls out the window again to Luis to feel the baby kick, but he's just missed it once more. "At least I saw the honk-bonk," he says once he gets there, to Maria's confusion.

 	SCENE 4 	Luis makes sure he won't miss the baby moving by keeping his hands on Maria's belly while she does some fixing. She scuttles about the shop retrieving tools, when Mike comes in with his broken turntable. Luis uses both hands to take it from him, once again missing the baby move. He finally melts down and gives up, so Maria cuddles him with her belly pressed against him. He feels something kick him, and realizes it was the baby! The couple celebrates as Mike gives a bewildered look to the camera.

Big Bird starts shouting his alert phrase ("The baby's moving!") prematurely, just to practice for the real thing. Sure enough, the baby begins to kick and everyone surrounds Maria to feel it as Telly announces the sponsors.
