(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)
Mum, am I better at the monkey bars than Bingo?
Well, you are two years older than her, Bluey.
Am I better than Judo? You're about the same as Judo.
I'm not. Judo can't do skip bar or backwards one bar.
Well, she'll get there one day.
But am I better than her on THIS day?
Bluey, just run your own race.
Huh? What does that mean? Come here.
Have I told you the story of when you took your first steps?
Oh no.
Well, it all started when you were still a baby.
(BURGLES AND BURBLES)
Oh...
Come on, Bluey, roll over.
Roll over.
You learned to roll over really early.
(GIGGLES) Bandit!
She rolled over! She rolled over!
Huh?
She's not meant to do that for ages.
Aww, that's my girl.
Oh! (GIGGLES)
Hang on. Where was I?
You weren't born yet, sweetheart.
Ooh, I was invisible.
Were you proud of me for rolling over so soon?
Yes, a little too proud.
I think I may have turned into a bit of a show-off.
Oh, I've never heard of a baby rolling over that early.
I know. She's just special.
(COUGHS AND GAGS)
But then one day at mothers' group...
It is very early to roll over.
Oh, you're so clever, Bluey.
Ooh! She's sitting. She's sitting.
Oh, Judo, you're sitting all by yourself.
Oh, goodness. That's very early to be sitting.
Oh, well, you know, it's not a race.
But it was a race. A baby race.
BLUEY: This episode of Bluey is called Baby Race.
I don't know what got into me, but I was determined
I'd get you walking before Judo's mum, I mean, Judo.
There you go.
Steady...
Bandit! She's sitting!
Huh? Arrgh!
Good gir... Argh!.
(GIGGLES)
But after a lot of practice, eventually you sat up.
Bluey, you're sitting!
(GIGGLES)
Oh, goodness, I just can't keep track of them.
(SQUEALS AND GIGGLES)
Judo crawled before me as well?!
Judo beat you again.
And just what did you do about this?
Well, I tried my best.
This thing, how do you...
Come on, Bluey, crawl to mama. You can do it.
Did I do it?
(GIGGLES)
Not exactly.
(GIGGLES) Why was I rolling?
I don't know, kid, you didn't come with instructions.
The doctor said there was nothing to worry about.
Some babies just roll before they crawl.
(GIGGLES)
But I wasn't having that.
# 99 bottles of thing on the wall...
Aha!
It's fun to crawl.
(GIGGLES) Oh, how good is crawling?
It's better than rolling.
Arghh!!!! My knees.
(LAUGHS)
Did I do it? Did Bluey crawl?
Not exactly.
Come on, Bluey. You can do it. Crawl to me.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, yeah, bum shuffle.
Bum shuffle?!
Bum shuffle.
You were a bum shuffler.
(LAUGHS) Whoo-hoo! Go, Bluey.
Meanwhile, Judo was pulling herself up on furniture,
which is the step right before walking.
And I was just bum shuffling around?
You are definitely not winning the baby race.
The doctor said there was nothing to worry about.
Some babies just bum shuffle before they crawl.
(GIGGLES)
But I wasn't having that.
See. Feels good, doesn't it?
Feels like you want to crawl, right?
Did she crawl? Yes.
BOTH: Hooray!
Backwards. (LAUGHS)
Beep! Beep! Beep!
(LAUGHS)
The doctor said there was nothing to worry about,
but Nana wasn't having that.
Let's stop mucking around, eh?
A bit of olive oil on those knees will do the trick.
But how is olive oil going to help...? Whoop!
Oh, my goodness. Mum! What are you doing?
If she can't crawl, she'll have to walk.
This isn't legal anymore.
Whoop!
I'll sprinkle some grit down too.
Ooh! Where'd they go?
(BOTH LAUGH)
Your nana's old school.
None of it mattered, though.
Judo had won the baby race.
Oh, biscuits!
Were you upset with me that I lost the baby race?
No, sweetie.
Look, we were all learning to do things for the first time.
I just felt like I was doing everything wrong.
Aren't you going to mothers' group?
(SIGHS)
Yes. What a cute cap.
It's like he was born in it. (GIGGLES)
But then one day Coco's mum came to see me.
Hi, Chilli. Bella.. Oh, hello.
I'm so sorry. The house is a mess.
We chatted for a while and then she showed me a photo.
Are these all your children? Yep.
I thought Coco was your first.
No, I've got eight kids.
Wait, no, nine. I had no idea.
Wow. You must have learned a thing or two.
I have. And there's something you need to know.
What?
You're doing great.
(SNIFFS) Are they happy tears, Mum?
Yeah. Happy tears, honey.
From then on, I decided to run my own race.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!
Yeah! Bluey wins!
Well done, Judo, you clever girl.
So, did Bluey ever learn to walk?
Yes, honey. In the kitchen, actually.
(MAGICAL CHOIR SINGS)
Why did I decide to walk in the kitchen?
I don't know, sweetie.
Maybe you just saw something you wanted.
