Word Party!

[narrator] The babies are in the kitchen
because it's time to eat.

Chī! Chī!

That's right, Tilly, time to eat.

-[tummy rumbling]
-Oh.

My tummy is saying, "I'm hungry."

-[Kip's tummy rumbling]
-Oh!

My tummy is shouting, "I'm hungry."

So, what's for lunch?

[narrator] Today, you can choose
what you'll have for lunch.

Uh, let's have broccoli!

Teeny, tiny trees--

[Lulu yelling] Noodles for lunch!

We could have noodles again
if you really want them, Lulu.

-Do you?
-[Lulu] I do!

Ha! Well, looks like
we're singing about noodles again.

Let's go, go, go!

Okay...

-♪ I love noodles! I love noodles!
-[all] Noodles!

In the day, in the night
Give me oodles and oodles

-♪ Of noodles! I love noodles!
-Noodles!

Gotta dance, gotta dance
Yes! Yes! Yes!

I love to dance, gotta dance
About the thing I love best

-♪ And that's noodles
-Noodles!

Noodles!

-♪ I move like a noodle
-Watch her wiggle

-♪ Every time I wiggle
-We start to giggle

-My noodle!
-Our noodle!

-My noodle.
-Her noodle!

In a bowl or a cup
I like to slurp them up

-♪ Noodles! I love noodles
-Noodles!

In the day, in the night

Give me oodles and oodles
Of noodles

-[all] ♪ Noodles!
-[Lulu] I love noodles

[Lulu] ♪ Gotta dance, gotta dance
Yes! Yes! Yes!

I love to dance, gotta dance
About the thing I love best

-♪ And that's noodles
-Noodles!

-Noodles
-Noodles!

-[all] Noodles!
-[Lulu giggles]

Noodles!

See? I sing, they come.

[giggles]

Aww, I like it when Lulu makes that face.

That's a smile.

I smile because I'm happy!

[Kip] Uh, I don't like it

when Franny makes that face.

I really wanted broccoli.

Maybe you could have noodles and broccoli.

[gasps] You think so?

[Bailey] Yeah!

[narrator] Babies, there are more foods
to choose from inside the fridge.

[Franny giggles]

Maybe, maybe, maybe...

Yes! Broccoli!

Hey, look, Franny's smiling.

That's because I'm happy now, too.

[sighs]

Teeny, tiny trees!

-Done!
-Done!

-Done!
-Huh?

-[Bailey] Oh!
-[Lulu] Clickety Clock!

What time is it, big kids?

Not yet. Not yet!

[big kids] Time to go outside!

[all] Yay!

[munching] Wait a minute!
I'm not finished with my broccoli.

She's making that face again.

Um, Franny, you could finish eating
and then meet us outside.

-[Lulu] Yeah!
-[Kip] Yeah, come on. Go, go!

Wait, wait, wait! I like it
when we all finish eating together.

Just don't do anything fun without me!

[Lulu] Let's play, let's play!

[Bailey] Yeah!

[Lulu gasps] Look, a butterfly.

Oh, so pretty.

Wait, wait. Where are you going?

I think it wants us to play
Follow That Butterfly.

Oh, I love that game.
Let's go, go, go!

[comical music playing]

[comical music continues]

Follow That Butterfly is hard.

[cooing]

There you are, little butterfly.

Ooh! A butterfly!

Let's play a fun game,

Follow That Butterfly!

-[Bailey] Franny?
-[Franny] Yeah?

We just played that.

Yeah, we're too tired to play again.

Oh, but I love that game.

Well, been there, done that,
so... that's a no.

Oh. She's making that face again.

-[nervous chuckle]
-That's not a smile.

Uh, no.

That is definitely not a smile.

What is that face called, Franny?

I don't know the word for this face.

Word Wally?

Good idea!

[Lulu and Kip] Word Wally!

-[Bailey trumpets]
-[Lulu giggles]

-[Kip] There he is!
-[Lulu] There he goes!

[narrator] The babies are here
to learn words in two languages,

English and Mandarin.

Oh, I do that when I see noodles.

What's the word for that, big kids?

[big kids] Smile!

-[narrator] And in Mandarin you say...
-Xiào!

[all] Oh!

Xiào means "smile."

Oh! That's the face Franny was making.

What's this called, big kids?

[big kids] Frown!

[Kip] Oh!

-That's a frown.
-[narrator] And in Mandarin...

Zhòu méi tóu.

Zhòu méi tóu means "frown."

I was making that face because I was sad.

Oh, Franny.

Poor Franny.

Oh, that's a frown and a smile,

which are both...

[big kids] Expressions!

[Franny] Expressions.

A smile is a happy expression.

And a frown is a sad expression.

Oh, hey! But Franny, you know what?

A frown is also an upside-down smile!

Hey, I think we can turn your frown
upside-down with a...

[all] Word party!

I like that idea!

Yee-haw!

[all] ♪ Hey, have you heard?
It's a word party

-♪ Learn new words for a word party
-Yee-haw!

Spin while you spout them
Feel good about them

We love words
And it's your turn to shout them

-Smile!
-Xiào!

-Frown.
-Zhòu méi tóu.

And those are both expressions.

-[Tilly cooing]
-[Franny chuckles]

[all] ♪ Hey, have you heard?
It's a word party

-♪ Learn new words for a word party
-Yee-haw!

Hey, have you heard?
It's a word party

-♪ Learn new words for a word party
-Yee-haw!

Yippee-i-oh-ki-yay!

[all] Yay!

[laughter]

I love to dance.
Let's dance some more, like this.

Da-da-da, da-da-da...

-I'm kind of tired.
-Yeah, we just danced.

Yeah, been there, done that.
Let's play ball instead.

[chuckles] Here, catch, Franny.

[Kip] Oh, boy.

Uh, I don't need Word Wally
to tell me that's a frown.

Oh. I said I don't need Word Wally.

Are you sad again, Franny?

You're frowning a lot today.

It's just, I wanted to eat broccoli
with my friends

and then I wanted to play
Follow That Butterfly,

and then I wanted to dance
and not get hit by a ball!

Today's a bad day.

[narrator] Some days are like that,

but it always helps
to talk about it with your friends.

Well, I'm sorry I didn't listen
to what you wanted, Franny.

[Bailey] I'm sorry, too.

Aww, feel better.

Ahh...

It does help to talk about it
with my friends.

-Hey, I know what we should do.
-What?

We should dance some more,
because Franny loves to dance.

Oh, oh! Let's dance to a happy place!

-[Kip] Yeah! Let's do it!
-[Franny] Okay.

When you wanna cheer up
'Cause you feel a little down

It's a whole lotta fun
to start dancing around

Let your feet take you
for a real fun ride

Hop a little, jump a little
Go for a slide

And in no time at all

You'll be having a ball

We can dance, dance, dance
To a happy place

Put a big, big smile
On your happy face

Dance, dance, dance to a happy place

When we're dancing together
We feel a lot better

-Get snappy!
-And get clappy!

Right away you're gonna feel happy

Dance, dance, dance to a happy place

Put a big, big smile
On your happy face

Dance, dance, dance to a happy place

Dance to a happy place

[Franny chuckles]

-[Kip] Oh!
-[Lulu] Oh, Clickety Clock!

What time is it, big kids?

[big kids] Time to sleep!

[all sigh]

[yawning]

I'm sleepy from the dancing.

You know,

today was a pretty good day after all.

You guys,

you turned my frown upside down.

Aww. Well, I love your smile.

[chuckles] Thanks.

And big kids, you make every day better.

-[Kip] Yeah.
-[Franny] Good night.

-[Kip] Nighty-night, big kids.
-[all] Bye!

[Tilly] Zài jiàn.

-[Lulu] Come on, Franny, let's go to bed.
-[Franny] Night-night.
