Surprise, Alex! Look at your birthday cake!
Anna! You ruined my cake!
I don't feel like celebrating anymore.
That's okay, Alex. I'm right here.
It's my birthday! Today's going to be amazing!
I can't wait to see my cake!
Happy birthday, Alex! We're having dinner
at a special restaurant tonight.
Really? Thank you, Mom!
Big surprise!
Do I get a present, too?
Today is Alex's birthday, sweetheart!
We can celebrate together, Anna.
Look, Mom, this is my dream birthday cake.
The restaurant has prepared that exact design.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
You're growing up so fast, Alex.
We're very proud of you.
Hey, look at my funny dance.
You look wonderful, Alex.
Look at my pretty dress.
Both of you look fantastic.
Wow, this place looks amazing.
Look at all those beautiful balloons.
Come on, your table is ready.
Welcome, Alex. Happy birthday.
Thank you. This is wonderful.
Mom, where's the birthday cake?
Happy birthday, Alex.
Open your present.
Wow, it's building blocks.
My favorite blocks. Thank you.
We're so glad you love them.
Alex, I have a very special surprise for you.
Really?
Thank you, Anna.
That birthday video is so funny.
What a silly surprise.
Dad, look at these amazing building blocks.
That's a wonderful set, Alex.
I have an idea.
Alex, do you love big birthday surprises?
Of course.
Surprises make birthdays even more exciting.
Wonderful.
Anna, what's making you smile like that?
Nothing, Dad.
I'm just admiring those beautiful balloons.
Here comes your special birthday cake, Alex.
Wow, it's exactly the cake I wanted.
We knew you'd love it.
Happy birthday, Alex.
Thanks, Alex.
Ha ha ha.
That cake looks so soft and fluffy.
I wonder what would happen if it moved.
It's beautiful.
Anna, please give the cake a little space.
Okay, Mom. I'll be careful.
I hope Ben arrives soon.
Good news! Ben is almost here.
Great! I want him here when I blow out my candles.
When Alex closes his eyes,
I'll give him the funniest birthday surprise ever.
Everyone will laugh.
Are you ready for your birthday wish, Alex?
Yes, Dad. I've been waiting all day.
Almost ready.
Happy birthday to you.
Thank you, everyone. I'm so happy.
Close your eyes and make a wish, Alex.
Okay, Mom. I have a really special wish.
Take your time.
Just one, Alex will laugh so much.
I hope all my birthday wishes come true.
Surprise, Alex!
Look at your birthday cake!
Anna!
Look at your cake!
It's a snake.
It's not funny.
That was such a funny surprise.
Oh, the birthday cake!
Anna, look at Alex. He's not laughing.
Alex, I brought your birthday present.
Is everything okay?
My cake is ruined. I was only joking.
Alex, look! You have a little frosting on your cheek.
Anna, please stop. This isn't funny to me.
Are you okay, Alex?
I'm fine, don't worry.
I am really sorry about your shirt.
Anna, why did you ruin my birthday cake?
I loved it.
I thought it would be funny.
Please listen.
Anna, a joke isn't funny when someone feels hurt.
I understand, Dad.
Think about Alex's feelings.
I don't feel like celebrating anymore.
That's okay, Alex. I'm right here.
I hope Alex feels better soon.
Let's give him some time.
Mom, I waited so long for this birthday.
I wanted everything to be special.
I know, sweetheart. I'm here.
I didn't like the joke at all. It got frosting on my shirt.
Oh, I understand, Alex. I'm sorry that it upset you.
It's okay to feel upset, Alex.
You don't have to forgive anyone immediately.
Thanks, Mom. I feel a little better.
That was Alex's favorite cake.
I thought my surprise would make him happy.
I was wrong.
Anna, how would you feel if someone ruined
your favorite toy and laughed?
I would feel really sad, Dad.
I would feel terrible, Dad.
A joke is only funny when everyone is laughing, Anna.
I understand now.
Dad, I only wanted everyone to laugh.
I didn't mean to upset Alex.
You can still make things right, Anna.
Alex always shares his favorite toys with me.
He's such a kind brother.
I should be kind too.
What if we find Alex a little birthday cake?
That's a wonderful idea.
Yes, let's make his birthday special again.
Here's a special cupcake for Alex.
It's beautiful.
Dad, may I bring it to him myself?
Of course, Anna.
Dad, I want to apologize to Alex now.
Be honest, Anna.
Listen to how he feels.
You can do it.
What if Alex is still upset with me?
Just be sincere, Anna.
Give him time to listen.
I'm really sorry I ruined your party.
Wow! For me? You are the best!
That's the best.
That big cake meant so much to me, Anna.
I felt embarrassed when Ben saw what happened.
I'm sorry, Alex.
I'm Alex.
I'm sorry.
I just copied a silly birthday prank from a phone.
I didn't think about how it would affect you.
I promised to think before...
I can't bring your old cake back, Alex,
but maybe you can still make your special birthday wish?
You got this for me?
Alex, I came to celebrate with you, not laugh at you.
You're my friend!
Really? Thanks, Ben!
Ben?
Everyone still wants to celebrate your special day, Alex.
I'm sorry, Alex.
Thank you. That really means a lot to me.
I forgive you, Anna. Please think before joking next time.
I promise, Alex. I'm really sorry.
That's wonderful!
Alex, everything is ready.
Let's celebrate your birthday together.
Thank you, Anna.
It looks wonderful.
Enjoy your celebration.
Happy birthday, dear Alex.
Happy birthday to you.
Thank you, everyone.
A good joke makes everyone happy.
We should always respect other people's feelings.
You're right, Dad.
I agree.
I promise I'll think before playing jokes again, Alex.
Thank you, Anna. Let's share this cupcake.
That's lovely.
Oh! I got frosting on my nose!
Here, Anna. Now smile for our picture.
Everyone, say cheese!

Riding was easy for me.
Well, it's not easy for me.
You're good at everything.
I'm not.
What's
that sound?
Is someone riding a bicycle outside?
Alex is riding so well.
Look at those turns.
Perfect stop.
Did you see that, Anna?
Yes.
That was amazing, Alex.
I want to ride a bike too.
Really?
Your pink bike is right over there.
Look at my beautiful pink bike.
I'll be the best rider ever.
That's the spirit, Anna.
I'm the champion.
I'm the fastest rider ever.
But Anna, you haven't started riding yet.
Wait, Anna.
Safety comes first.
You need your helmet and pads.
OK, Mom.
I'm ready.
Look at you.
You're a racing bunny.
Hey, I'm a super fast bunny.
And a safe one.
Your sandals are secure.
Put your feet on the pedals.
I'm ready.
Everything looks good.
Look, Dad, I'm riding.
Great job, Anna.
Alex, wait for me.
I'm getting faster.
You're doing great, Anna.
Why does my bike have extra wheels?
Those help you learn to balance, Anna.
Get these wheels off.
First, let's practice balance together.
That sounds like a good plan.
Balance comes first, Anna. We'll learn step by step.
Okay, Dad. I'll try my best.
Push gently with your feet, Anna. Keep looking ahead.
Okay. I'm learning to... Dad?
Excellent, Anna. You're improving.
Great job, little sister.
The pedals are ready, Anna.
Remember, take it slowly.
I can't wait to try.
Hold the handlebars, Anna. Look straight ahead.
Okay, Dad. You can do it.
Dad, my handlebars are wobbling.
I've got the bike, Anna.
Just look ahead.
Too hard.
I can't do it.
Learning takes time, Anna.
I'm proud you tried.
Riding was easy for me.
Well, it's not easy for me.
Alex, everyone learns differently.
You're good at everything.
I'm not.
Anna, wait.
I didn't mean
to upset you.
Dad, I didn't mean to upset Anna.
I know.
She needs your encouragement, not comparisons.
Mom, I do not like my bicycle anymore.
Oh, really? Why do you feel that way?
Everyone struggles sometimes, Anna.
Even Dad and Alex had to practice.
Really? Even Alex?
I was scared when my training wheels came off.
I wanted to quit, but you kept practicing.
You were scared too?
Yes. I practiced many times before I could ride alone.
Come on.
I'm sorry, Anna. I shouldn't have bragged.
It's okay, Alex. I want to try again.
Three challenges. Balance, steering, and braking.
I'm ready. I'll be your biggest cheerleader.
Helmet secure, pads ready.
Looking good, Anna.
This time, I'm going to try my best.
Relax your shoulders. Hold steady and look ahead.
Okay, Dad. I'm ready to try again.
That's it, Anna.
I'm trying, Dad. It feels better now.
Wait just a second Anna. Your sandal strap is a little loose.
There! Your sandal is secure now.
Always check your footwear before riding.
Thank you, Mom.
Level 2! Let's practice turning around these cones.
Looks tricky. Can I show her first?
Watch Alex turn gently, Anna.
He's so smooth!
Keep your eyes ahead and steer slowly.
Nice and slow, Anna. Look past the first cone.
Wonderful, sweetheart.
I'm turning too early.
Easy, Anna. Small turns.
You've got this.
It's a culver.
You stopped safely. That's what matters.
It's okay, Anna. I've knocked over cones too, Anna.
And you stopped safely. Well done.
Really? That's funny.
Excellent, Anna. Keep looking ahead.
I'm getting it.
Four cones. Great job.
Keep going, sweetheart.
Dad.
You're not holding my bike.
You're balancing, Anna.
Look ahead and keep pedaling.
You're doing great, Anna.
Keep your eyes on the path.
Look at you go.
Look ahead, Anna.
Keep pedaling.
Keep pedaling.
That's it, sweetheart.
Stay focused.
You're doing great.
OK, Anna.
Look ahead.
Turn slowly.
You can do this.
You can do this.
Good, Anna.
Relax and make a gentle turn.
Excellent steering, Anna.
Keep looking ahead.
Amazing, sweetheart.
We're so proud of you.
The stopping line is ahead, Anna.
Brake gently.
See it, Dad.
I'm slowing down.
Help.
You did it, Anna.
That was a perfect stop.
Amazing, Anna.
We're so proud.
Thank you for helping me.
You're a champion, Anna.
You never gave up.
Helmet secure, sandals ready, watch me ride.
Beautiful balance, Anna.
We're so proud of you.
Ready for a ride, little sister?
Absolutely. Let's ride together.
Then let's go.
Look, everyone. I'm riding with you.
You're doing wonderfully, Anna.
What a beautiful family ride.
You kept trying, Anna. That's real courage.
And always remember, safety comes first.
I will, Mom.
This makes progress.
Never give up.
That's right, Anna. Well done.
It's fun.
It's fun.
Please don't open it, Anna. It's something private for now.
Why are you being so secretive?
Why can't you show me the picture?
Not yet, Anna.
Alex left his door open.
Maybe there is no special present this year.
If everyone is hiding something, I'll figure it out.
Is there going to be a special surprise for my birthday this year?
I know something is going on.
I have to keep it a surprise.
Do you remember the little gift Anna really liked at the shop?
Yes, I remember. Make it with care. That will make it special.
And you won't tell Anna?
I'll keep the surprise.
Surprise!
This is going to be a great surprise.
Anna will remember this day.
I'm going to build the biggest tower.
Watch out, I'm coming through.
I'm okay. That was fun.
Hey, you're not supposed to be in here.
Catch me if you can.
I can.
Fine, you are on.
Please don't open it, Anna. It's something private for now.
Why are you being so secretive?
You usually share things with me. Why is this different?
I just need to keep this one private for a little while.
What could be inside that box?
Good. Everything is still here.
Alex is hiding a box under his bed.
I think there must be something really fun inside.
Maybe he just wants to keep something private for now.
Does Ella know what Alex is hiding, too?
This one will remind Anna of her birthday.
making just a little project why can't you show me
the picture not yet Anna
probably got a new toy I
think Anna will really like
this a pencil sure it's on
the desk did you get a new toy no it's
not what you think you just don't want
to share it with me that's not true Anna sooner
or later I'm gonna figure this
It is my truck.
No, it is
Do you want to play our favorite game?
Maybe later.
I need to finish something first.
He would rather be with that secret box than play with me.
Just
a few more pictures
and it will be ready.
One? No thanks.
You only want to keep the fun things for yourself now.
That's not what I'm doing.
Maybe I should tell her.
But her birthday is so close.
This ribbon should fit perfectly.
Then the card will be finished.
Do you think Anna will really like something this simple?
She'll see how much care you put into it.
The time and care you gave it are what make it special.
What were you doing in Alex's room?
I was just helping him with something.
I was only helping Alex organize a few things.
It feels like everyone knows something, except me.
Why does it feel like everyone knows something, except me?
This will be the last picture for her surprise.
Let me get the last few craft supplies for the box.
Of course. Let's finish your surprise.
Ready to go?
Ready!
Alex left his door open.
I look at
the box for
a second.
Oh no!
It's me and Alex
at the park.
He drew all of these for us?
It was all for my birthday?
I broke part of it.
Anna, what happened?
Alex, I can explain.
Sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen.
I asked you not to open it.
Why couldn't you trust me just this once?
I spent days making all of this because I wanted
your birthday to feel special.
I thought you had something new and didn't want to share with me.
I'm sorry I didn't trust you.
I just wanted it to be a surprise.
This one is from the park,
and this one is from the day we played together all afternoon.
They're some of my favorite memories with you.
I didn't know you remembered all of that.
Can I help you fix it?
Okay, let's do it together.
You should finish this part.
You made it special.
Then you can help me with the next one.
They're working it out together.
Let's give them some space.
This is finally for you.
All of this for me?
He worked very hard on it.
Thank you, Alex. I really love it.
Next time you see a secret box, don't pull so hard.
That sounds like a good family rule.
