Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Everybody on Sesame Street prepares for Miles' arrival in their own ways. David orders extra diapers at Hooper's Store, while Maria and Luis set up a play pen by the tire swing.
	SCENE 1, cont'd	Meanwhile, Oscar tells Irvine that she'll soon have a new grouchy baby to play with, and that Slimey's baby sister, Stella, will be able to join them too. Irvine makes a fuss at the thought, as is natural for a Grouch baby.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Meanwhile, Big Bird and Telly prepare a surprise party for Miles, using some of Snuffy's enormous baby toys. Big Bird goes over the "surprise" procedure with Telly, but then Telly wonders if Snuffy's old toys are too big for Miles - after all, Snuffleupagus babies are bigger than human babies. Big Bird reassures him that Miles is 11 months old by now, so he's bigger than a newborn baby. He then proceeds to explain the adoption process to Telly.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Big Bird spots Susan and Gordon getting ready to pick up Miles, and thinks he should ask them if Miles can come to the party - "I'll tell them it's for a game of Mahjong. They'll never guess." Big Bird encounters them getting their pictures taken by Olivia, for the baby book. When Big Bird asks if Miles can just stroll over to his nest area, Gordon explains that Miles isn't old enough to go places by himself. Big Bird then runs off to check on something. As they get in the car, Gordon and Susan remark that Big Bird is acting strange.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Big Bird explains to Telly what he just heard from Gordon. Big Bird wonders, "Why is it that things are never like you imagine them?"

Big Bird says that's ridiculous -- love isn't like birdseed -- but he promises to ask Susan and Gordon about it.

"Oh, Oscar!" he cries passionately, "Love is not like birdseed!"
	SCENE 4 cont'd	Gordon and Susan watch Miles as he sleeps. Big Bird tries once again to ask the question, but they tell him to be quiet. Big Bird decides that maybe they are too busy to love him now.
