SCENE 1 | Big Bird welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street and sees Baby Bear running all over Sesame Street telling Susan at Hooper's Store, a Honker in the yard and Big Bird that his Grandmama Bear is coming to Sesame Street today! Grandmama lives far away in the woods, and only visits occasionally. It's been a few years since she's seen Baby Bear, and she still thinks of him as her "little Baby Boo-Boo". She gives "little Baby Boo Boo" a baby bonnet that she made all by herself. Big Bird tells them that once Granny Bird gave him a feather warmer once. Baby Bear thinks that it won’t fit but Papa Bear and Grandmama Bear thinks it will. They make him try it on and it fits on him! It looks so cute like the last time Grandmama saw him. Papa Bear tells him to say thank you to her right before he was about to finish a sentence. |

Grandmama Bear offers him some porridge since Baby Bear knows she makes the best porridge so he tries it and Grandmama Bear gives Baby Bear his bib because she doesn’t want any messy porridge to spill on his brown fur! Then she feeds him as a baby. She makes Baby Bear burp after showing him how Telly can eat her porridge all by her self but now it’s Telly's turn to burp!
