After singing "There Are Seven Days in a Week", the kids find out that it's Alvin's birthday, and he's turning two hundred million years old, or two cat years.

Cindy and Candace also take time to explain how birthdays are celebrated in the Philippines and Mexico respectively, and they sing birthday songs from both places. After giving Alvin her teddy bear, Stephanie learns that presents aren't the most important thing of a birthday; it's the thought that counts.
