01:08I sure do.
01:10But I'm not telling.
01:12Can we try to guess?
01:14You can try.
01:15Is it your birthday?
01:18No.
01:19Did you get a new toy?
01:21No.
01:22No.
01:23Did you ride to school on an elephant who was wearing bright orange tennis shoes?
01:27Party!
01:29It was just a guess.
01:31Did something special happen in your family?
01:36It sure did.
01:38Did your family get bigger?
01:40Yes.
01:41Is there a new baby at your house?
01:44Yes!
01:45Yay!
01:46But that's only part of my surprise.
01:49Oh.
01:50Well, are you going to tell us the rest of the surprise?
01:53Nope.
01:53But I will show everyone my surprise in just a little while.
01:58Oh, I can't wait.
02:00Was the baby a boy or a girl?
02:02I'm not telling.
02:04That's part of my surprise, too.
02:05Tasha, how does it feel to have your family get bigger?
02:09It feels...
02:11Super D-Super!
02:13Oh, a family is people and a family is love.
02:20That's a family.
02:22They come in all different sizes and different kinds.
02:25But mine's just right for me.
02:28Yeah, mine's just right for me.
02:31I've got a friend who lives with his mom and dad.
02:34With his brother and his sister, too.
02:36They've got a cat and a dog and a pet bulldog.
02:39And I'm really glad they do.
02:41There's a girl I know who lives with her mom.
02:45Her dad lives far away.
02:48Although she sees her parents just one at a time.
02:51They both love her every day.
02:54Oh, a family is people and a family is love.
02:57That's a family.
02:59They come in all different sizes and different kinds.
03:03But mine's just right for me.
03:05Yeah, mine's just right for me.
03:07I know a boy who's new.
03:15He just moved in.
03:17He moved from Alabama.
03:19And a person who's the head of his family.
03:22He's his loving, dear old grandma.
03:24Oh, a family is people and a family is love.
03:28That's a family.
03:31They come in all different sizes and different kinds.
03:34But mine's just right for me.
03:36Yeah, mine's just right for me.
03:39So tell us, when did all of this happen?
03:54Well, Daddy took Mommy to the hospital on Friday.
03:58And she had a baby, right?
04:00Right.
04:01And then she stayed in the hospital for two days.
04:04And last night she came home.
04:07Did you go see your mom at the hospital?
04:09Uh-huh.
04:10I'll bet it was fun bringing the new baby home.
04:12It was.
04:14I'll show you.
04:15Okay.
04:17Here we are at the make-believe hospital.
04:20And here comes a mommy and a baby.
04:28When it's time to leave the hospital,
04:30the mommy rides in a wheelchair to the front door.
04:33It's a hospital room.
04:36Here comes the daddy with the car.
04:39Okay, little baby.
04:40It's time to go home.
04:42And is that a car seat for the baby?
04:45Yes.
04:45Every baby needs to be in a car seat with a seat belt.
04:49That's a rule, too.
04:51Wearing seat belts in the car is a good rule for everybody, right?
04:55Right.
04:56Right.
04:57Right.
05:00Driving to my school.
05:02I buckle my belt.
05:03Driving to my school.
05:05I buckle my belt.
05:06Driving to my school.
05:08I buckle my belt.
05:09Buckle up my seat belt.
05:14Driving to my house.
05:16I buckle my belt.
05:17Driving to my house.
05:19I buckle my belt.
05:20Driving to my house.
05:22I buckle my belt.
05:23Buckle up my seat belt.
05:26Gee, there's a lot of traffic on the road today.
05:29I'm glad everyone's wearing seat belts.
05:31Driving to my grandma's.
05:33I buckle my belt.
05:34Driving to my grandma's.
05:36I buckle my belt.
05:37Driving to my grandma's.
05:38I buckle my belt.
05:40Buckle up my seat belt.

05:56Buckle up my seat belt.
06:00Buckle up my seat belt.
06:02Here we are.
06:03Home at last.
06:04And that's how a baby comes home from the hospital.
06:07Oh, gosh, that is so much fun.
06:15I just love babies with their itsy-weensy fingers and toesies and tails.
06:22Tails?
06:22Oops, I was thinking of dinosaur babies.
06:28Do you know what else I love about babies?
06:31What?
06:32I love the way that every one of them grows up to be a very special girl or boy.
06:38Just like all of my friends.
06:41But what makes everyone special, Barney?
06:43Lots of little things.
06:45In fact, there are so many little things that it's almost like the pieces of a puzzle.
06:52Wow.
06:52Just think about all of the little pieces that make you who you are.
06:57The color of your eyes.
06:59Mine are brown.
07:00Mine are blue.
07:01Or the color of your hair.
07:03I've got red hair.
07:05Other pieces might be the things that you like to do.
07:09Like playing games or drawing pictures or looking at books.
07:14Yeah, I like to read.
07:16And there are other little pieces like, oh, your very favorite foods.
07:21Mmm, pizza.
07:22Or your favorite colors.
07:25Purple is my favorite.
07:27Or whether you like to talk in a big loud voice or a quiet little voice.
07:33Maybe you like to sing.
07:34Maybe you like to sing.
07:36Or dance.
07:37Or bone.
07:38Like me.
07:39When you like to sing.
07:40When you put so many different pieces together, you get a different girl or boy.
07:45And each one is very special.
07:48You are special.
07:49You are special.
07:52You're the only one.
07:53You're the only one like you.
07:56There isn't another in the whole wide world who can do the things you do.
08:01Oh, you are special.
08:02Oh, you are special.
08:03Oh, you are special.
08:03Special.
08:03Special.
08:04Everyone is special.
08:07Everyone in his or her own way.
08:11Oh, you are special.
08:12Oh, you are special.
08:14Special.
08:15Special.
08:16Everyone is special.
08:18Everyone in his or her own way.
08:26Oh, you are special.
08:39Oh, you are special.
08:41Special.
08:43Everyone is special.
08:46Everyone in his or her own way.
08:50Oh, you are special.
08:52Everyone is special. Everyone is special. Everyone in his or her own way.
09:00Everyone? Everyone in his or her own way.
09:13Now will you show us your big surprise?
09:16No, not quite yet. Maybe we can play Butterfly first.
09:21Oh, okay.
09:25Look at all the beautiful Butterflies.
09:29They must think I'm a pretty purple flower.
09:36Barney, what if people were all just the same like Butterflies are?
09:41Oh, but Butterflies aren't all the same and neither are people.
09:46Each Butterfly is special in its own way when you take a good look.
09:51Some fly high. Some fly low. Some fly fast. Some fly slow. Some are gold or brown or blue. Each one looks like something new.
10:09I think it would be a shame if Butterflies were all the same.
10:15Now can you think of some of the things that you like to do that make you special?
10:20I like to build things like birdhouses. I like to paint pictures. I really like to sing.
10:27You see, we all have different things that we can do. And it's nice when we can share those different things with other people.
10:34Yeah, sure. Maybe you could teach the new babies some songs.
10:38I think I will. I'd love to be a real teacher someday.
10:42Well, I've got a friend who is a real teacher. And she knows all about teaching songs. Would you like to meet her?
10:49Yes!
10:50Good! Because she should be arriving just about now.
10:56Oh, boy!
11:00Hello, Barney! How are you?
11:02Hello, Ella. Oh, I'm fine.
11:03Oh, boy. Good to see you.
11:04Good to see you, too. Come on in.
11:06Thank you. It's certainly nice to be here.
11:09Everybody, I'd like you to meet my very good friend, Ella Jenkins.
11:14Hello, boys and girls.
11:17She writes and sings the most wonderful songs.
11:21Thank you, Barney.
11:22Okay, now let's all sit down and get comfy.
11:26Okay.
11:27Oh, boy.
11:28This is great.
11:29Here we go.
11:31Well, girls and boys, I do a lot of traveling in my work.
11:35And as I travel, I make a lot of friends.
11:38And sometimes my friendship is done like this.
11:41A friendly wave of a hand. Let's wave to one another.
11:44And sometimes the friendship is with a smile.
11:49Oh, let's see your smiles. That's good.
11:51And many times I make friends with a friendly handshake.
11:55Oh.
11:56Hello.
11:57Hi.
11:58Well, there are a lot of ways of saying hello and getting acquainted with people.
12:03And I think the friendship begins right at home.
12:07And so I hope that the very first person you see in the morning, the very first person you have a really friendly hello for.
12:14So some people like to say hello like this. Hello.
12:17Hello.
12:18Hello.
12:19Some people might try hi.
12:21Hi.
12:22Hi.
12:23Or some people prefer what's happening.
12:26What's happening.
12:27What's happening.
12:28In Hawaii, the people say aloha.
12:31Aloha.
12:32Now the people in Hawaii, many people play the ukulele.
12:37And in Hawaii they call it ukulele.
12:40Can you say that?
12:41Ukulele.
12:42All right.
12:43Now I'd like to really sing a song with you.
12:46I want you to work along with me with this ukulele.
12:50And it's one about Miss Mary Mack.
12:52Heard that before?
12:53Okay.
12:54Now what I want you to do is just make the last sound twice.
12:59Miss Mary Mack.
13:02Mack.
13:03Mack.
13:04All dressed in black.
13:06Black.
13:07Black.

13:28Fence.
13:29Well they jumped so high.
13:31High.
13:32High.

13:34Sky.
13:35Sky.
13:36And they never came back.

14:46Well Barney I hope I come back again and again and see all of you.
14:49So well.
14:50And I always share with all the girls and boys that I know a nice little goodbye song.
14:56Let's just do it.
14:57Stand up.
14:58Okay.
14:59We'll shake hands with friends.
15:01Okay.
15:02Okay.
15:03And Barney you're a friend too.
15:04Oh.
15:05Right.
15:06Shake hands with friends cause it's time to go.
15:19I hope I'll see you another day once again.
15:23Shake hands with friends cause it's time to go.
15:38Shake hands with friends cause it's time to go.
15:40Shake hands with friends cause it's time to go.
15:42Shake hands with friends cause it's time to go.
15:44Shake hands with friends cause it's time to go.
15:46You came to see us.
15:47Well, thank you.
15:49That's so funny.
15:52Wasn't it fun having Ella Jenkins visit us and teach us those songs?
15:57Maybe I could teach those songs to someone at my house.
16:01Oh, you're not.
16:02Only, I don't have a ukulele.
16:05Well, if we use our imaginations, maybe we can make some ukulele.
16:11Sure.
16:12And it sounds like a job for...
16:15The Barney Band.
16:16Oh, oh, oh.
16:21Well, I've been looking in my Barney bag.
16:25And I found a lot of things.
16:28Gizmos and gadgets and odds and ends.
16:31And even some old streams.
16:34So let's ask ourselves the question.
16:37What can we make today?
16:39With imagination and the Barney bag.
16:43We'll see what we can make today.
16:44Yeah, see what we can make today.
16:47Oh, boy.
16:49Looks like we have everything we need.
16:52Well, this is easy.
16:54You just take the rubber bands and stretch them over the tissue box.
16:59See?
17:01The rubber bands go over the hole.
17:03And a grown-up can cut a hole in the end of the box.
17:07A round hole like the one that I cut out.
17:10Then just push in a paper towel tube and put some tape on it.
17:18Then, after you put the tube in, you can decorate your ukulele.
17:24And you can use any color you want.
17:28And when you're all done, you've made a toy ukulele.
17:39Hey, I like your music.
17:51I do.
17:52Oh, hi, Baby Bo.
17:54Hi.
17:55Hi, Barney.
17:56Hi, friends.
17:58I like your music.
17:59Oh, I like that music, too.
18:05Hi, BJ.
18:07How are you doing?
18:08I see.
18:09I heard some really funny music.
18:11What was it?
18:12We made some ukuleles.
18:14See, BJ?
18:15Oh, wow.
18:16That's really great.
18:18Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow.
18:24We've been having lots of fun while we're waiting for Tasha to show us a big surprise.
18:31Oh, I like surprises.
18:34Yeah.
18:35Is it time to show us your surprise yet, Tasha?
18:38Let me see.
18:44Not yet, but soon.
18:46Well, what will we do while we're waiting?
18:49I know, I know.
18:50We could sing my very favorite song.
18:55Oh, the one with your name in it?
18:58Yes.
18:58Can we?
19:00Yes.
19:01Woo.
19:03Yeah.
19:06Woo.
19:11Hey, Mr. Nickerbocker, boppity-bop.
19:14I like it the way that you boppity-bop.
19:16I like it the way that you boppity-bop with your hands.
19:20Oh.
19:26Whoa.
19:28We're dancing.
19:30Hey, Mr. Nickerbocker, boppity-bop.
19:33I like it the way that you boppity-bop.
19:36I like it the way that you boppity-bop with your mouth.
19:44Yeah.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Hey, Mr. Nickerbocker, boppity-bop.
19:52I like it the way that you boppity-bop.
19:55Hey, Mr. Nickerbocker, boppity-bop.
19:57I like it the way that you boppity-bop.
20:00Hey, Mr. Nickerbocker, boppity-bop.
20:03I like it the way that you boppity-bop.
20:05Hey, Mr. Nickerbocker, boppity-bop.
20:08I like it the way that you boppity-bop.
20:11Yay.
20:16Boppity-bop, boppity-bop.
20:17Listen, everybody.
20:19It's time for me to show you my surprise.
20:22Oh.
20:23Is everybody ready?
20:27Oh, yes.
20:29Are you sure?
20:30Yes.
20:31Here's my surprise.
20:33Oh, yes.
20:34What is it?
20:35What?
20:36Oh, yes.
20:38Oh, yes.
20:39Oh, yes.
20:40Oh, yes.
20:40Oh, yes, baby.
20:41Oh, remember, quiet voices, everybody.
20:44This is a nice surprise, Tasha.
20:47But this is just part of my surprise.
20:50Where's she going?
20:52I don't know.
20:54Hi, Daddy.
20:55Hi, Daddy.
20:56Oh.
20:56Hi, Big Sister.
20:57Oh, mother, baby.
21:02Oh.
21:03There are two new babies.
21:07Tasha's mommy had twins.
21:10Oh, Bonnie, what are twins?
21:13That's when one mommy has two babies at the very same time, like I did.
21:20Are they little boys or little girls?
21:22Two little boys, and I'm their big sister.
21:25What are their names?
21:28His name is Cabin.
21:31Oh, that's right, too.
21:32And Tasha's daddy is holding Kyle.
21:36Hi, Kyle.
21:37Hi, Kyle.
21:39Don't you think they look alike?
21:41Oh, you're right, Tasha.
21:43They do.
21:43That's because some twins do look just like each other, even when they get much bigger.
21:50They're called identical twins.
21:52But, Barney, if they look just like each other, they're so special.
21:55But Barney, if they look just the same, are they still special?
21:55Oh, yes.
21:57Because it's not what you look like that makes you special.
22:01It's who you are inside.
22:03It's who you are inside.
22:03You are special.
22:08You're the only ones, you're the only ones, you're the only ones like you.
22:15There isn't another in the whole wide world who can do the things you do.
22:25Everyone in his or her own way, everyone in his or her own way.
22:54Oh, Tasha, thank you so much for sharing your surprise with us.
23:15Yeah, thanks, Tasha.
23:16Oh, yeah.
23:17I'm glad we could see the babies.
23:20Mostly, I wanted the babies to see all of you.
23:24Because I love all of you.
23:26Aww.
23:26Aww.
23:27Aww.
23:28Aww.
23:29Aww.
23:30I love you.
23:35You love me.
23:37We're a happy family with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you.
23:47Won't you say you love me.
23:48Won't you say you love me too.
23:50Won't you say you love me too.

25:04Hello again to all my friends.
25:06I'm glad you came to play.
25:08Our fun and learning never ends.
25:10Here's what we did today.
25:15We had a very special day today, waiting for Tasha's big surprise.
25:22We pretended to bring a baby home from the hospital.
25:25And everyone used their seat belts.
25:28That's a very important safety rule.
25:31We found out that there are lots of things that make every boy and girl different.
25:37And very special in his or her own way.
25:41Even if they're just little babies.
25:43Do you know what?
25:46You're special, too.
25:48Are you sad or her with you.
25:49And we are!
25:50I love you!
25:51I love you, too!
25:53And I love you!
25:54Thank you, too!
25:55And I love you!
25:57I love you, too!
25:59I love you, too!
26:01And I love you!
26:02And I love you, too!
