Come spend a 'day in the life' with the monsters at Wimzie's house and you'll never want to go home. It's the magical kind of daycare that leads to delightful adventures for the pre-school child. All of the characters are wild and wooly on the outside - but definitely human on the inside.

Icky, Yucky and Goofy
Icky, Yucky and Goofy: While waiting for a butterfly to burst out of a cocoon, the children compare the "icky" cocoon exterior to Wimzie's hair. Wimzie takes it to heart and starts wearing a football helmet to cover up her "ugly" hair. Graziella and Rousso try object lessons in not listening to what others say about you to convince Wimzie she's got nice hair but to no avail. Later, Rousso needs a family photo taken for an award he's receiving but Wimzie refuses to take off her helmet. Yaya shows up with a pair of ridiculous-looking sunglasses that she's wearing because one of her friends told her she had "buggy" eyes. Wimzie protests and tries to make Yaya understand something she can't see about herself. But her own resolve about her "ugly" hair is somewhat shaken. That's when out of the cocoon comes a beautiful butterfly. Filled with wonder, and in a show of solidarity with her grandma who gets rid of her glasses, Wimzie imitates the butterfly and decides to take off her helmet. Surface has little to do with substance.

Cinderloulou
Cinderloulou: Horace, Wimzie and Jonas are playing games that Loulou is either too unskilled or too small to play. They start taking advantage of her because she's the smallest; they also con her into doing their chores and clean-ups in exchange for letting her participate in their play. In the meantime, Yaya has promised the children special treats if they all do their chores promptly and well. But Yaya discovers what the older children are up to with Loulou. When it comes time to give out the treats, she arranges it so that Loulou is the last in line; when she gets to her, there are no treats left. Horace, Wimzie and Jonas feel awful and, still trying to hide what they were doing, insist on giving Loulou their treats. A few pointed questions later, the three culprits confess and apologize to Loulou. To make it up to her, they offer to play one of the games she likes best: the limbo!

Loulou Thinks Big
Loulou Thinks Big: Loulou is three and a bit, but she's still too little to do a lot of things. She can't help Rousso repair a ball throwing contraption. She can't help Yaya dust the high shelves in the kitchen. She can't play baseball with the big kids. Even Horace's new game says "For ages 4 to 7." So she tries to make herself bigger with a pair of high-heeled shoes, but soon takes a tumble. Yaya explains that growing up happens gradually, one day at a time, and that eating lots of good things will help her grow. Loulou takes Yaya to her word and begins to eat and eat and eat... Needless to say, she makes herself sick and is saddened to learn that eating copiously will not make her grow quickly either. In the meantime, Rousso seems to have repaired the famous ball thrower. He decides to test it one more time and mayhem ensues! Balls are shooting out in every direction, and no one is able to slip their hand inside the crazy machine to hit the "off" switch. Rousso needs someone small to help him solve the problem, and Loulou is coaxed into coming to the rescue. She manages to stop the mechanism. Everyone applauds her and Loulou learns that being little does have its advantages

Nicknames
Nicknames: Rousso has some fun calling Wimzie "Wizzie" as a name of endearment. He's even writing a song about it. Wimzie doesn't really like the name but doesn't want to tell her dad for fear that he'll get angry. Loulou offers to trade names with Wimzie for the time it would take to go and talk to Rousso. The girls execute their plan but when Loulou talks to Rousso, he thinks she's talking about herself, which does nothing for the Wimzie-Wizzie problem. Finally, Wimzie musters the courage to tell her dad the truth. Rousso understands the situation but is nonetheless sad. Wimzie then becomes very worried over his reaction. But a few minutes later, Rousso comes back happy and with a beautiful cuckoo clock (that Wimzie thought was broken and gone to the trash) he repaired just for her. Wimzie is so touched that she relents and, as a gift to her daddy, allows him to call her "Wizzie" and sing the Wizzie song.
