He builds with blocks, then shows pictures of mothers and babies from the book Mr. McFeely delivered. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, today is the day the royal baby will be born. Vic Miles and Marie Torre from the Neighborhood News wait for news of the big event and take pictures. Everyone finds it hard to wait. The royal baby is born.

I was 7 years old when this episode originally aired, but I remember it quite well. My mother was pregnant with my youngest brother at the time, and the whole business of welcoming a new baby was A Thing in my life.

My daughter is a huge Daniel Tiger fan; the old Mr Rogers episodes are like secret histories

This baby grows up to have every service job in town and go to college
