- Ah, that was beautiful you guys!
- That was nice.
- Nice solo dad.
- Thanks, son.
- Boing, boing, boing, boing.
- Boing, boing boing.
Tag, you're it, Julia!
- Boing, boing.
- Boing, boing.
- Just don't boing into
the flower pots, kids.
- No prob, mom.
- It.
(kids laughing)
- Boing, boing, boing, boing,
- Oh, hi Abby.
Wanna play Boing Tag?
- Well, no thanks.
I just don't feel like it.
- Well, but you love Boing Tag
almost as much as Julia does.
What's wrong?
- Well, it's just that
my Fairy Grandmother,
she was visiting us for a whole week.
But she flew home today and
I'm not sure when she's going
to visit us again.
I miss her.
- Oh, sounds like you're pretty sad, huh?
- Yeah, but you should keep boinging.
- Well, but we don't
want to play without you.
- Yeah, but I'm not so fun
right now 'cause I'm too sad.
- Abby, sad.
- Uh huh.
- You know, when I'm sad,
it helps when Julia gives me
a starfish hug.
- Starfish hug!
- What, well, I've never been
hugged by a starfish before.
Isn't it, well, slimy!
- Hah, nope.
Starfish hugs are awesome.
Because Julia has Autism,
she doesn't like big hugs
so we do a starfish hug instead.
Starfish hug!
Wanna show Abby?
- Starfish hug.
- Okay.
Starfish hug, I love it!
Hey, maybe we can make up some other hugs.
Like, fairy hug!
- That's a great idea!
But, how do you do a fairy hug?
- Oh, you flap your hands like
they're wings and then oh,
and then you touch wings, like this.
Flap, flap.
- Fairy hug.
- Oh, that is fun!
- Yeah, I really feel better now!
I mean, I still miss my
grandma, but it sure helps
having friends like you.
- Ah hey, that's what friends are for.
That, and for playing Boing Tag.
Come on Julia, come and get me!
- Boing, boing, boing, boing.
- Butterfly hug!
- Nope, it's not there.
Oh, over there.
Definitely over here.
(dog barking)
Maybe I left it over here.
- Okay, everyone ready?
It's time to go.
Oh, do you have your backpack Julia?
- Backpack.
- Yes, that's my girl.
- My hat, has anybody seen my hat?
You know, the one I
always wear when I play?
- Hi, dad!
- Found it.
Thanks, Sam.
Okay, guys, I think
we're already to, my tie.
I gotta get my tie.
- Sam, are you ready to go?
- Yeah, all ready.
Hey, those are my shoes!
Um, I'm gonna need a few more minutes.
- What are you...
- Hey, Rose, give me back my shoes, Rose!
- Have you seen my song list?
I can't find my song list.
I can't remember if I
play Be and Green first
or Put Down the Duckie.
I think it's Be and Green First.
- Honey, honey, Daniel!
- Huh?
- Take a deep breath.
(Daniel sighing)
- Thanks, Alana, I think
I'm just a little nervous.
I mean, it's not everyday
you get to play saxophone
at Hooper's Fifteenth
Annual Open Mic Night.
- Listen, it's okay to be nervous.
But, I know you're going to be great.
- Yeah, you got this dad.
You've been practicing a lot.
- Thanks, son.
I'm just glad I'm going to
have all of you there with me.
(dog barking)
Yes, you can come to Rose.
Oh, that reminds me, we need her leash.
- Oh right, leash!
- Where's the leash?
- Drawing for daddy.
- What's that sweetheart?
- Drawing for daddy.
- Oh, this is great, Julia.
Hey, you know what?
I am going to take this with me for luck.
Now what was I doing?
(dog barking)
Rose's leash, uh, Rose's
leash, uh, I think I might
have left it over here, hun.
Oh, it's not here.
- It's not here.
- Boy, where could it be?
- Say cheese!
- Cheese!
(camera clicking)
- Okay, you know, maybe it's
in the drawer back there.
- Where did you leave it?
- I'll bring the camera to
take pictures of dad playing.
Hey look, Rose's leash!
- What, oh thank goodness.
- Oh there it is!
Okay, come on everybody,
it's time to leave.
Are you sure you have everything?
- Yes, it's showtime.
I just hope I remember all the notes.
- Saxophone.
- What, saxophone?
- Saxophone, daddy saxophone.
- Oh, my saxophone, oh I almost forgot it.
Thank you, Julia, you saved daddy's show.
- Okay, now are you sure
you have everything?
- Yes, I've got my saxophone,
I've got you three.
(dog barking)
Four, four, couldn't forget you Rose.
Oh boy, that's okay, I got the door.
Now I've got everything.
- Daniel!
- Oh, coming!
Let's rock!
- He's so cute.
Oh look at that!
Oh look, there's Wolf.
- Oh, Wolf.
- Rosita!
- Wolf!
- First bump, rocket ride.
- Hey Julia, fist bump, rocket ride?
That's just the way
Rosita and I say hello.
- See, but there are
lots of different ways
to say hello too.
- Hello everybody!
(hands clapping)
- Hola Rosita!
- Hola Matthew, have a great day.
- Have a great day, too.
- Thank you.
- [Computer Voiceover] Hello, Grover.
- Well, hello to you too.
- See, there are so many
ways to say hello to someone.
- We can make up our own way.
How about just a regular fist bump.
- Bunny bump.
- Yeah, bunny bump.
- I love it.
- Well, now that we've said
hello, do you want to play?
- Play, play, play.
- Yes.
- Come on, let's go.
- Let's do it, alright, oh wait for me.
We could play hide and seek.
- Or we could have a race.
- Or, we could play freeze dance.
- Freeze dance, freeze dance.
- I know it's one of your favorite ones.
- Alrighty then, freeze dance it is.
- Yay!
- Be right back.
Ready, if I'm going to
freeze, I must be prepared.
- Aye, mama.
- No.
- Grover, you don't get
freezing cold in freeze dance.
- So, I do not need my hat,
my mittens, and my practical
yet stylish parka?
- No.
- Then how exactly do
you play freeze dance?
- Oh, well it's super easy.
When you hear music, you start to dance.
Like this, let me show you.
♪ There is music ♪
♪ There is music ♪
♪ There is music ♪
And we are dancing.
And we are dancing.
And we are dancing.
And when the music stops,
you freeze in place and don't move.
- Oh I get it, that does look like fun.
- [Rosita] Yes.
- Okay, then let us play!
- We need music, por favor!
(music playing)
- Too loud, too loud.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, stop the music.
- This is fun.
- Not for everybody, the
music is too loud for Julia.
- Awe, it is okay Julia.
We do not have to play freeze dance.
- Play.
- You want to play?
Okay, we'll find a way.
- But how?
- Like this, music por favor, but quietly.
(quiet music)
- That is working.
- Let's dance.
(kids laughing)
(quiet music)
That was so much fun.
I am so glad we find a
way for everyone to play.
- Play, again, again.
- Okay, let's play again.
- I would like to, but freeze
dancing is making me too hot!
- Come on, Grover.
Let's get that coat off you
so that way everyone can play.
Let's go.
(kids laughing)
- [Julia] Red, blue,
green, red, blue, green.
- Oh, I see it, Julia you are
so good at finding patterns.
- Patterns.
- Oh, oh, I have an idea.
Do you want to play a pattern
game with your old pal Grover?
- Play, play, play.
- Oh good, then let us play
the What Comes Next game.
- [Grover Voiceover] Game, game.
- Oh, I like the echo.
For this game, you will see a
pattern and guess what comes
next, ready?
- Ready.
- Oh, what do we have here?
A cute little kitty cat.
Oh, and look, another kitty cat.
Oh, oh, oh, I already know the pattern.
The next one is going to be a kitty cat.
(dull buzzer)
That is a funny looking kitty cat.
- Dog.
- Oh, yes, of course, that is a puppy dog.
Let us see, cat, cat, dog.
So the next one must be a dog.
(dull buzzer)
A cat?
That is not a pattern
I thought it would be.
Another kitty cat?
This pattern is getting confusing.
(bright buzzer)
And now a dog.
What, the dog is back.
What is going on here?
And, the next one?
What goes there?
- Play.
- Oh yes, of course.
We have to play the game.
Can you guess what comes next?
- [Grover Voiceover] Next, next.
- Oh wait, I think I know.
It is a pot bellied pig.
- No silly.
- How about a watermelon?
- No.
- Then how, how, I ask you,
are we suppose to guess
what comes next?
I mean, what comes next?
- [Grover Voiceover] Next, next.
- What is the pattern here?
Oh, pardon me.
- Cat, cat, dog, cat, cat, dog, cat.
- Oh, wow, you did it, you did it!
Julia, you notice everything.
Say, have you happened to
notice where I could get
some watermelon?
I could really go for some right now.
- (Julia humming) Watermelon.
- You too?
Well, come on, let's
go find some together.
Come on, come on.
- Family.
- Oh I see.
You drew a picture of your family, Julia.
Can you tell me who everybody is?
- Daddy, mommy--
- You look like your mommy don't you.
- Julia.
- Yep, that's you.
Oh wait a minute, is that your
stuffed rabbit right there?
- Flopster.
- Flopster!
Yeah, he's part of your family too.
Oh, and is that your brother?
- Brother.
Samuel.
(Julia laughing)
- Why are you laughing?
- Samuel's silly.
- Samuel's silly?
He makes you laugh?
What do you and Samuel do together?
- Play.
- Yeah, you like to play with Samuel?
♪ Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing ♪
You sing songs together?
Oh wow, Julia, I love your
drawing of your family.
Oh, let me go show you
a picture of my family.
Let me see, oh right here, see.
See, it says mi familia.
There is my mommy and my
daddy and me right there.
See, me right there.
And I don't have a brother
or a sister but I have a big
family, see it's my grandparents
and Mrs. Dios and Mr. Dias
and all my cousins, yeah.
Yeah, we have fun together, too.
- Big family.
- Yep, families come in all
sizes and everyone in a family
is important.
(soft music)
- Family.
- Yep, familia.

looking at the night sky.

- Hi, Julia.
Well, you seem excited, what's going on?
- Play, play, play.
- Oh you want to play?
Well sure, what should we play?
Kickball?
Oh okay, maybe not.
Well, how about hide and seek?
It's okay.
Sometimes friends like different
thing, so it can be hard
to figure out what to play together.
- Play, play, play.
- Oh, but you know what helps?
To find something that
you both like to do.
Like, Julia, you like to
flap your arms, right?
And I like to flap my wings, see?
Flap, flap, flap.
- Butterfly, butterfly!
- We both like butterflies.
- Butterfly, butterfly, play butterfly.
- That is a good idea.
We can pretend to be butterflies.
(girls giggling)
Flap, flap, flap.
This is a great way to play.
Oh here he comes, hi, hello butterfly.
You want to play too?
- Play, play, play.
- Sure, we can all play together
and we can all be friends.
There he goes, come on Julia!
- [Julia] Butterfly!
- Butterfly, butterfly.
- Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly.
(girls laughing)
Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing.
- Hi, Julia.
- Elmo.
- Elmo sees Julia is playing
with her stuffed rabbit.
- Fluffster.
- Yeah, Fluffster's Julia's
favorite too, right?
Well, Elmo brought his
favorite too, toy, Baby David.
Say hello to Fluffster, Baby David.
Hello, Fluffster.
- Boing, boing, boing, boing.
- We can play side by
side like we do sometimes.
There's lots of ways friends can play.
Where's baby David?
Peek-a-Boo!
Where's baby David?
Peek-a-Boo!
(Julia laughing)
Where's baby David?
Peek-a-Boo!
(Julia laughing)
Where's Fluffster?
- Peek-a-Boo!
- Boy, there sure are
lots of ways to play.
Where's baby David and Fluffster?
- Peek-a-Boo!
(Elmo and Julia laughing)
- Pop, pop.
Pop, pop.
(Abby laughing)
- You love popping
bubbles don't you, Julia?
- Bubbles.
- That's great because
I love blowing them.
- Pop.
(girls laughing)
Bubbles?
Bubbles?
Bubbles.
Bubbles.
- I'm trying, but well,
blowing doesn't always work.
- Bubbles.
- Oh yeah, I forgot you
could make bubbles that way.
Let me try.
- Pop, pop.
- Thanks for that tip,
Julia, you were a big help.
(rhythmic music)
- Pop.
- Oh no, those bubbles are too
high for you to reach, Julia.
I'll fly up and get them for you.
Pop, pop, pop.
(girls laughing)
- Yay.
- See that, we helped each other, Julia.
And that's what friends are for.
- Friends are for.
- Oh, Julia.
Hey Julia, you want to play a game?
- Play a game.
- Oh great, how about,
how about we play tag?
- Play tag, play tag.
- Wow, I can tell you're really excited.
You're bouncing up and
down like a rubber ball.
Boing, boing, boing.
- Boing, boing, boing, boing,
boing, boing, boing, boing.
- Okay, so let's start playing, okay?
Tag, you're it.
Come on, try and get me.
- Boing, boing, boing, boing,
boing, boing, boing, boing,
boing, boing, boing, boing.
(girls laughing)
Boing, boing, boing.
- Jumping and playing tag
at the same time sure looks
like a lot of fun, I
think I'm going to try.
- Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing--
- Oh this is great!
I bet you came up with
a whole new game, Julia.
Boing tag.
- Boing, boing, boing, boing, tag.
- Okay, now I'm it.
And I'm going to boing after you.
Here we go.
Boing, boing, boing,
boing, boing, boing, boing.
