About Emilia's Big Firsts
9 stories: the potty, the dentist, a first haircut, preschool, a new baby, new foods, a bike, a playdate and a big-girl bed.
Nine rhyming social stories about the big firsts of toddler life. Each one walks through a new experience step by step, the way a worried two- or three-year-old meets it: what will happen, what it will feel like, and what helps. Every story teaches three big words, ends with a sing-along, and adds a sticker to Emilia's Big Firsts chart.
The full show plays all 9 stories in a row (49 min), for a longer watch.
The stories, in order
-
Emilia and the Potty (6 min)
Emilia gets her very own potty. She learns to listen for her tummy's signal, to be patient, to wave bye-bye to the big WHOOSH, and to wash up with lots of lather. -
Emilia Goes to the Dentist
Emilia has her very first dentist appointment. Gentle Dr. Hippo shows her every tool before he uses it, counts her teeth with her, and leaves her smile gleaming. -
Emilia Gets a Haircut
Emilia's bangs have grown so long they flop in her eyes. At Miss Poodle's salon she learns that hair has no ouch, giggles through the mist and the warm windy dryer, and meets her reflection. -
Emilia's First Day of Preschool
Emilia's first day of preschool starts with nervous butterflies. A goodbye routine, kind Miss Giraffe, and a new classmate named Ellie help her learn that grown-ups always come back. -
Emilia Becomes a Big Sister
A new baby comes home, tiny and LOUD. When Emilia feels left out, a big cozy hug and some big-sister jobs (gentle pats, whispers, and peekaboo) show her there is room for everyone. -
Emilia Tries a New Food
Little green trees on her plate! Emilia has never tried broccoli. With Daddy's dinosaur trick and one tiny nibble, she discovers that trying something new is brave, even when you don't like every food. -
Emilia's First Bike Ride (5 min)
A shiny red bike with a bell and a basket for Pip! Emilia learns to pedal and balance, takes a little tumble, gets back on, and rides all by herself while Daddy cheers. -
Emilia's First Playdate
Emilia invites her classmate Ellie over to play. When they both want the same music box, a sand timer, a generous first turn and some teamwork turn a tug-of-war into the tallest tower ever. -
Emilia's Big-Girl Bed
Emilia gives her crib to the new baby and gets a big-girl bed with a quilt full of stars. When the dark feels big, a moon nightlight, a snug quilt and counting stars carry her all the way to morning.
