“You’re getting to be a big boy, each day I grow some more. I like exploring my way. Growing up is not so tough, except when I’ve had enough. But there’s lots of fun stuff. Caillou goes shopping. Today, Caillou is acting very silly. He was trying to make his little sister laugh, and he was doing a very good job. ‘Look at this, Rosie. Caillou silly!’ Mommy said, ‘You’re certainly acting the clown today, Caillou.’ Caillou replied, ‘Hmm.’ Caillou then greeted Sammy and said, ‘Hi, Sammy. Catch!’ Rosie exclaimed, ‘Caillou funny!’ Caillou decided to draw Rosie a picture of a clown. He needed a red crayon for the clown’s red nose. However, he was having trouble finding the red crayon and asked, ‘Where could it have gone? I can’t find the red.’ Rosie came to the rescue and handed Caillou the red crayon. Caillou showed his mom the small red crayon and said, ‘Look, mommy, look how small it is.’ Mommy replied, ‘Yes, you’ve almost used it all up. All of your crayons are looking rather worn down. I think you need some new crayons. Let’s take a trip to the store.’ Caillou and Rosie were excited and said, ‘Yeah, we can get lots and lots and lots of colors, red too!’ Caillou asked mommy if they were going to buy anything else at the store. Mommy replied, ‘Yes, Caillou, we need a few things. We need toilet paper, light bulbs, new socks for Rosie, and crayons.’ Caillou wanted to help mommy and said, ‘Do you think you can help me out by remembering what we need to buy?’ Caillou thought hard and said, ‘I can remember toilet paper, um, light bulbs, socks for Rosie, and crayons.’ Mommy praised Caillou for thinking about the list very hard so he wouldn’t forget anything. Mommy suggested that sometimes turning a list into a song can help with remembering. Caillou thought about it and said, ‘A song? Hmm. Toilet paper, light bulbs, socks for Rosie, crayons. That’s right! Toilet paper, light bulbs, socks for Rosie, crayons. Toilet paper, light bulbs, socks for Rosie, crayons.’ Mommy smiled and said, ‘Well done, Caillou!’ Caillou felt proud that he could remember the shopping list and the little song he made up.”
Toilet paper, light bulbs, socks for Rosie, and crayons. Very good, Caillou! Toilet paper is first. Toilet paper… Oh, look mommy, light bulbs! Socks for Rosie… Oh, pretty flowers. Well, I think we’re all done shopping. No, we still need to find crayons. Oh, that’s right. I’m glad you’re here to remind me, Caillou. Crayons, we’re all done. Caillou was disappointed they’d found everything on their shopping list. He wanted to look for more things. Look mommy, it’s Sarah! Hi Sarah! Hi Caillou! Are you buying crayons? I am. I’m starting school this week and I need to get all these things. Wow, that’s a lot. Can I help you find them? I’m good at shopping. Sure! Can I help, Mommy? All right. One red pen… Found one. One eraser… Hmm, got it. One ruler… There’s one. Five notebooks… One, two, three, four, five. I’ve got them. Soon they had found everything on Sarah’s list. All done. Thanks, Caillou. You found all those things very quickly. Well done. Now we’d better be getting home. Rosie, where did you put your new socks? Hiding. There they are. When I go to school like Sarah, I’m going to need notebooks, pencils, erasers, and lots and lots of stuff. That’s right, Caillou. We’ll go back to the store for all your school supplies when you’re old enough for school. Rosie, now Rosie’s being a clown, Mommy. Caillou goes apple picking. Caillou felt very grown up as he boarded the school bus to head off on a big adventure. Caillou and his friends were going to pick apples at an apple orchard. Look at the red leaf. I have a yellow one. You see how the leaves on the maple tree have changed color? Apples do the same thing. When the apples change color, it means they’re ready to pick. This one’s called a McIntosh apple. It’s red and shiny and crunchy. This one’s a Russet apple. It has a rough skin and it’s not as pretty, but it’s very sweet. Eric’s going to let you taste both apples so you can decide which one you want to pick.
“They’re both yummy, but I like the red one best. Me too, I like that one. Okay, is everyone ready to go apple picking? Yeah, yeah! Hi Maddie! Now Eric’s going to take us on a hayride to where the apple trees are. A hayride? Caillou is excited about the hayride. Look at all the trees, and look at all the apples! See the apple pickers? They use ladders to reach the apples that are high up in the trees. Okay, everyone pick a partner. You have to be very gentle when you pick an apple because if you pull too hard on it, other apples will fall and we don’t want any apples that have fallen on the ground. Why not? This one looks okay. Look closer. When apples hit the ground, they become bruised and insects can get inside them. Hmm, the apples on the tree are better. They don’t have bugs. Right. Now everyone pick a tree and start filling your buckets. This one has lots of apples. How you really enjoyed picking apples. It was fun. We have more apples than you. Ours are bigger. You want to have a race? Yeah! Let’s see who fills their bucket first. Caillou liked the big apples higher up on the tree, but they were hard to reach. Oh! When he saw the ladders, he had an idea. Can I use a ladder to get the big apples, Miss Martin? How about this one? It’s more your size. Your turn. Your turn. Yes! How am I gonna pick you? I know! Our bucket’s full. Ours is too. Who won? It’s a tie, you all win. We won! We won! We won too! Look at that. Keep very quiet. They were eating apples. Apples are a favorite treat for deer. They’re my favorite treat too. Come on, I think it’s time we went back. Miss Martin took them to the big red barn where Eric showed them how to make apple juice.”
“Thank you, Eric. You can make all kinds of different foods with apples. I like apple pie. I like apple jelly on toast. How to eat apple muffins? What about you, Caillou? Which do you like best? I like apples just by themselves the best. What an exciting day! Caillou couldn’t wait to get home to share his apples with Mommy, Daddy, and Rosie. But right now, he was ready for a little nap. Winter, spring, summer, fall, the seasons they go round and round. Winter, spring, summer, fall, the seasons they go round. I like summer when it’s hot. It’s fun to swim and play a lot. I like fall when it’s Halloween. Daddy wears the silliest costumes that you’ve ever seen. I like winter when it snows. Sledding, skating, off we go. I like spring when the leaves turn green. I ride my bike and help Mommy keep our garden clean. It doesn’t matter where you live, no matter what the weather is, each season has things to do that make it special for you. Winter, spring, summer, fall, the seasons they go round and round. Winter, spring, summer, fall, the seasons they go round. Caillou’s Halloween costume. Caillou’s Halloween costume. Halloween was coming and Caillou didn’t know what he was going to dress up as. The bed sheet gave Caillou an idea for a costume. He thought it would be fun to be a ghost. Look, Rosie, it’s just me. See, it’s a costume for Halloween. It’s not supposed to be scary, it’s supposed to be to have fun. On Halloween, you dress up and go out, and people give you candy. Rosie, dress up. I don’t think the ghost costume is quite right for you, Rosie. Why don’t we find you a different costume?”
“How about this? Yeah, you look like a princess, Rosie. Daddy, can you help me find a Halloween costume? Sure, let’s see what we’ve got in here. Why don’t you try this on for size? Hmm, it’s way too big. Don’t worry. Oh, you look very grown up. I’m a daddy, I have just the thing to top off your outfit. How do you like dressing up like daddy? And Rosie can be a clown with this. Rosie, clown. Rosie, princess. Caillou wasn’t so sure he wanted to be a daddy for Halloween. It was extremely hard to walk. I think I need a different costume. We’ve still got a few days to think of something. Right now, it’s time for bed. The days went by and still Caillou couldn’t decide on a costume. Finally, Halloween came. How about you help mommy by drawing a face for the jack-o-lantern and putting candy into little bags for his friends? Oh, what’s wrong, sweetie? I still don’t know what to be for Halloween. Daddy and Rosie are in the basement, why don’t you join them? Maybe you’ll find something down there. There must be something in here you can use for a costume. Caillou is finding all sorts of funny things. Then he felt something soft and furry. Kitty! Good idea, Rosie. Rosie, princess. Rosie, clown. Rosie, cat. You can’t be everything, Rosie. Rosie, princess, clown, and cat. Now Caillou was really starting to worry about finding a costume to wear. Come on, there’s still time. We’ll think of something. You know what? I think we’ve got all the makings of a great monster costume right here. A monster. How do you like the sound of that? Candy trees. I want to be a monster. Monsters can eat as much candy as they want. Even monsters can get a tummy ache from eating too much candy. You’d better save those candies for tonight. A monster, what a good idea. After lunch, I’ll make you a costume from that furry blue fabric. Thanks, mommy. Here we go, one mini monster outfit made by mommy. Wow, Caillou couldn’t wait to show his friends his furry suit. Look, like a cowboy and a bumblebee. Trick or treat, yeehaw! What are you, Rosie? Princess, kitty, clown. Where’s Caillou? I want to see his costume. Ready, monster Caillou? Ready. It’s just me. Nice monster costume, Caillou. Thank you. Want some monster candy? Yes, please. Thank you. I’m going to get lots of candy. Me too. Me too, but I’m going to save some for tomorrow. I don’t want to get a monster tummy ache.”
