with you - I'm Caillou

♪Caillou, Caillou

♪I'm Caillou.

That's me!

And me!

And me!

And me!

Well, there's
not much change, Rexy.

-Really?

Oh, I just want
to grow so badly.

I can't believe that there isn't
even a little bit of change.

-Growing takes
time. Why once I was a-

-There must be
something I can do, I want
it to happen right now!

-One thing about growing
up, it happens in lots of ways.

-It does?

-Oh, yes.

One way is in size, but another
way is in learning new things.

One we can see,
and one is invisible.

-Learning?

But I don't even go to
school, how can I be learning?

-School isn't
the only place to learn.

We learn a lot of
things every single day.

-We do?

-Oh yes.

-Wow!

But how do I
know that I'm learning?

-That's a good question.

Let's
find some things you didn't
know before and you know now.

-Gee...

I hope I know something.

-Oh look up there, what's that?

-Aw, I already
know that's Gilbert.

That's not a good question.

-That's not the question, the
question is, what's he doing?

-He's taking a catnap.

-Why do cats nap in the day?

-That's too easy.
They're awake at night.

-Splendid!

-Huh?

-Well, not everybody knows that.

But now that
you're growing, you do.

-I am growing!

Invisibly!

-Uuh.

Uuh... ung.

Gilbert.

Ung.

There.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...

-Do you need some help
tying your laces, Caillou?

-No.

My shoes hurt.

-Honey, your feet have grown.

They're too big for these shoes.

You need a new pair.

Here, these will do for now.

Put them on and we'll
go to the shoe store right away.

-Now Caillou loved to splash
in rain puddles with his boots,

but today it was
sunny and he wanted to run.

Hi, Sarah.

-Oh, hi Caillou.
Where are you going?

-To buy a new pair of shoes.

-We'll have to have
a race when you get them.

Bye.

-Bye, Sarah.

I want shoes
to run fast like Sarah.

-Come on Caillou.

-Caillou liked
looking at all the different
kinds of shoes and boots.

There were all
kinds of sandals...

and lady's shoes...

-Hmmmmmm...

-...and even work boots.

-Whoahh...

Oh oh.

Oops!

Wow.

These look fast.

-Hmm!

Which colour do
you like best, Caillou?

-Um...

-Caillou just
couldn't make up his mind
which colour he liked best.

-Well now, before
we decide on the colour,

maybe we'd better
measure your feet.

Now, let's see you...
are now a size... a size seven.

-Mommy, Mommy, I'm a size seven.

-My, your feet have
been growing, Caillou.

Now, do you want the
blue ones or the yellow ones?

-I... want... the...

-How about the green ones?

-Green? Yay!

-We'll just put
your boots in this shoe box so
you can take them back home.

-Your new shoes
are very nice, Caillou.

And so are my new shoes.

-But you have to
measure your feet first.

-My feet stopped
growing a long time ago.

-Race me, Sarah.

-You're going too fast for me.

-Race me. Race me.

-I guess Teddy's right.

It may not be showing,
but I'm growing invisibly.

I know a lot of things.

I know if I'm at the
top of a slide, I slide down.

I know the flowers
need earth and water to grow.

I know that, too.

I am really, really growing up.

-I want a cookie, Mommy.

-Caillou! Cookies
aren't for breakfast.

-Okay.

-Caillou wished he was tall
enough to get his own cookies,

but he just couldn't
reach the cookie jar.

-Come on...

it's time to
get ready for the park.

Look Caillou, it's Andre!

-Caillou hadn't seen his
friend Andre in a long time.

-Hi, Caillou! Come play with me!

-Caillou wanted to do
all the things Andre was doing.

-Wow!

Ergh.

Whoa!

-It's new! My other
bike got too small.

Want to try it?

-Well, okay.

-You're too small, Caillou.

-Caillou wished he was
big enough to ride Andre's bike.

-Hi Caillou, did you
have a good time at the park?

-I want to be like Andre.

-How come?

-He's bigger than
me! He can ride a big bike!

-Caillou, Andre is
a little bit older than you.

Besides, you've been
growing too, you know.

-I have?

-Let's take a look!

See? You're a whole
inch taller than last time!

-An inch!

How big is an inch?

-That's quite
a lot to grow, Caillou.

-Caillou was happy that
he was bigger than before.

-Rosie now!

-We'll measure you too, Rosie.

Oh! You've grown too!

See, you used to be
that big, now you're up here.

And that's Caillou.

-Big!

-Caillou was proud
to be Rosie's big brother.

-If you keeping
growing this fast Caillou,

you'll be as big
as Andre in no time!

-Caillou couldn't
wait to be as big as Andre.

-How can I grow big faster?

-The only way to
grow big and strong is to eat
well and get lots of sleep.

-That night, Caillou
ate a lot more than usual.

-More Caillou? I thought
you didn't like meatloaf.

-I want to eat lots
so I can grow bigger.

-Time for dessert, Caillou!

Now you can have that
cookie you wanted for breakfast.

-I'm too full.

-C'mon Caillou,
you can work off all that food
by helping me with the dishes.

Hmmm, looks like a
problem with the pipes again.

I'll look at it in the morning.

-Caillou thought
if he got to sleep extra
early, he might grow faster.

-You're getting
ready for bed already?

It's not even your bedtime yet!

-I want to get lots of sleep!

-Look Caillou, I found
an old picture of you!

See how small
you were then Caillou?

-I was little.

-That's right, Caillou.
Now you're a big boy.

-That night, Caillou
dreamed he was big and strong.

He could reach the
high bar on the jungle gym.

And he could ride Andre's bike.

-Caillou wake up!

-When Caillou woke
up, he was very happy.

He was feeling much bigger.

-What are you doing?

-I wanna see.

-See what?

-Daddy! Daddy! Am I any bigger?

-Ouf!

I'm afraid
you're pretty much the same
size as yesterday, Caillou.

-Caillou was disappointed.

He felt like he'd
never be as tall as Andre.

-No one grows overnight.
You've got years to get bigger.

-What are you doing?

-Fixing the sink.
Let's see if it works.

-Aah!

-Oh, no!

-Well, looks like it's
time to call the plumber.

-We probably just need
to replace that leaky joint.

-Can I see, Daddy?

-Sorry, Caillou,
but this is grown-up work.

-Caillou decided
to do some work of his
own on the bathroom sink.

-C'mon Teddy, help
me fix that leaky joint.

-We may need your
help after all, Caillou.

If you aren't too busy.

-Okay!

-See, Caillou. We need to turn
off the water for the plumber.

But we're too
big to fit in there.

When the plumber gives the
signal you'll turn it off, okay?

-Okay.

-Now.

-Now!

-It's dark in here, Daddy.

-I'm right here, Caillou.

-I did it!

-Thanks, Caillou.

I could use a little
helper like you more often.

-Caillou was very proud that he
helped the plumber fix the sink.

-Aha! I see you, Andre!

-You win again, Caillou!

Your Dad never finds you.

-I'm small enough
to fit anywhere!

-I know that trees
are houses for squirrels.

This is great! I never knew
how much stuff I've learned.

-Hi, Rexy! What are you doing?

-Oh Hi Diedi I'm growing.

And I'm showing myself how much.

-You don't really
look any taller, Rexy.

-You don't just
grow up by getting taller.

Right now I'm growing
by what I'm knowing.

Hey! That rhymes!

I made up a poem!

I'm really growing today!

-And what do you know?

-Well, for one thing I know that
squirrels like to live in trees.

-Right.

Why?

-Well... ah... because....

-Uhuh?

-Because... they
don't like stairs.

-I don't think so.

-I'm not growing any
more because I don't know why.

I thought I was doing
so well and now I know nothing.

Why don't squirrels
live in a shoe?

-Too stinky.

-...Or a radio,
or in the spaghetti?...

I'd better find out
so I can grow some more.

-Mommy! Sarah's here!

-Whee!

Look, Caillou!

I can go really high!

-Sarah! Look at me!

Pass me the shovel Sarah.

Sarah?

What are you doing?

-Look!

-Why is your tooth all wiggly?

-My baby teeth are falling
out because I'm a big girl now.

I'm gonna put
it under my pillow.

Then the tooth fairy will come
at night and leave me a present!

-Caillou had never heard
of the tooth fairy before.

-It's a magical fairy
that comes when you're asleep.

She looks under your pillow
to see if there's a tooth

and if she finds
one, she leaves you presents
and sometimes money too!

-Caillou wished
that he had a tooth to

leave under his pillow
for the tooth fairy.

-Here's your juice Rosie.

Now eat your snack Caillou,
then we can go outside and play

until Mommy and Daddy get home.

It looks like you
just lost a tooth Caillou!

-Really?

-I'm missing a tooth too!
This one right here isn't real.

It comes out every night!

-Do you put it under your
pillow for the tooth fairy?

-Gosh no, I don't want the tooth
fairy to take this tooth away!

-Hi! We're home!

-Mommy! Daddy!

I want to get presents from the
tooth fairy- just like Sarah!

-You have to wait until
you lose one of your teeth

before you can get a visit
from the tooth fairy sweetie.

-Can I put Grandpa's
tooth under my pillow?

-I'm afraid I need
my tooth and besides,

I think the Tooth Fairy
would know it was mine.

-Caillou was discouraged.

He really wanted the tooth fairy
to come and pay him a visit.

He thought maybe
if he wiggled his teeth
enough, they would loosen.

-Hey! This one's loose!

Mommy! Daddy!
Look my tooth is loose!

-It seems just
fine to me, Caillou.

It's not loose at all.

-Hi Caillou!

Here. I took your
shovel home by mistake!

-Wow Sarah! Your tooth is gone!

-Uh huh!

Bye!

-Oh.

-Caillou was
upset that the tooth fairy
wasn't going to visit him.

Unless...

-Hey! This looks
just like a tooth!

-Caillou was hoping the
tooth fairy would mistake the

pebble for a tooth
and leave him a present.

-Good night Caillou,
did you brush your teeth?

-The tooth fairy's
gonna come tonight.

-Hmmm?

I don't think you
can fool the tooth fairy,

but why don't we leave
it here and maybe she'll come

and visit you
while you're sleeping.

-But she probably won't leave
you a present, is that okay?

-Okay.

-Teddy, Teddy, help!

-What?

-I'm not growing anymore!

I found something I don't know!

-Huh?

-I don't really know
why squirrels live in trees!

Does that mean
I'm not growing anymore?!

Wonder what I'll
be when I grow up?

Gotta go to school
first and learn things.

Have a whole lot of birthdays.

Get good exercise to help
my body grow and be healthy.

Indoors and out.

Then I've gotta
choose something.

Like maybe a baker
and make delicious bread!

Or a mechanic
and fix people's cars!

Or an artist and
draw pictures for a living!

Or maybe... I could
fly a huge jet airplane!

Whoa! Look at all
the buttons and switches!

Gee, don't know
what I'd like to do best!

Guess it's a good thing I have
a lot of time to think about it.

-You are growing.

-I am?

-I told you it's invisible,
it's happening right now.

-Right now?

-You didn't know something
and you asked a question.

Asking questions
makes you grow too.

When you hear the answer,
you're learning again.

-So that's how it works?

-Uh-huh, and in this
encyclopedia are the answers
to all kinds of questions.

Now, let's see...

The answer is
Squirrels love trees.

And Trees supply the nuts
squirrels eat and they also are

the perfect place to store nuts.

Furthermore, squirrels make
cozy comfy nests inside them.

-Now I know the answer.

I am growing!

I've got to tell Diedi.

Diedi!...

-You sit here, Teddy.

Here it comes, Teddy.

-Duck-ie, duck-ie, duck-ie....

Me play.

-Okay...

-No!!!

-Caillou couldn't
believe his eyes.

Rosie was wearing
his very favourite shirt.

-Mommy, Mommy!!!!!

-What is it, Caillou?

-Rosie is wearing
my teddy shirt.

-It's much too small for you,
so I gave it to Rosie to wear.

-It's not too small for me.

It's mine.

-I need this shirt, Rosie.

-Teddyshirt!?!

-I'll get you your nice
mousie shirt, Rosie. Okay?

-Ghhnnff...

See, it still fits me.

It's perfect.

-Okay...

-Tickie-tickie.

-Stop that.

-Brumm, brummm, brummm...

-Poor Caillou. His tummy
was itchy from the carpet...

and his shirt just
wouldn't stay tucked in.

Maybe it was too small for him.

But then Caillou got an idea.

Caillou thought he might
be able to tape his shirt.

-Yucky tape.

You stay.

-Caillou was very sad.

He knew that his teddy
shirt didn't fit him anymore,

but he didn't
want to give it up.

-Caillou...

there's you wearing your
teddy shirt. You look so cute.

-You were two.

-That's when I was
little. I had my teddy shirt.

-I'm sorry I didn't ask
you before I gave it to Rosie.

I forgot how much
you used to like it.

-Caillou still liked it,
but he knew he was bigger now

and it didn't fit him any more.

-Maybe we can put it away in
a special place to keep forever.

-I'm going to give it to Teddy.

-Good idea.

Teddy, you look beautiful
in your new shirt.

-Teddyshirt!

-Diedi! Diedi! I know why.

I am still growing!

-You are?

-Yes!

You love trees, and nuts
and being cozy in the tree.

-Yeah!

But why do we love nuts?

-Teddy?

-I don't know. But
I know where to find out!

Hey! I'm still growing too!

Keep growing and
I'll see you next time!

- DADDY!

MY DADDY SHOWS ME HOW TO
DO LOTS OF NEAT STUFF.

WE LIKE SKATING, EXCEPT IT'S
NOT THAT EASY AT FIRST.

WHOA!

AND SOMETIMES, DADDY ACTS SILLY.

BUT HE ALWAYS KNOWS HOW
TO TAKE CARE OF US.

WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA
BE JUST LIKE MY DADDY.

Grandma!

We have loads of fun together.

Like bird watching
with real birds.

Grandma's real
good at arts and crafts.

And we love playing music.

I love staying
over at Grandma's house.
