Trivia
- The diaper change scene was later removed from the VHS promo for Arthur's Baby.
- Although the title is not read on the VHS and DVD versions, Francine says the title when this is aired on television on reruns.
- Some of the footage and dialogue were recycled from the previous half of this story/episode, "Arthur's Baby".
- This episode is kind of the same as "Arthur's Baby". But this time, It's from D.W.'s perspective.
- When David, Arthur, and D.W. are watching TV, if you hear closely, there is repeated dialogue from the later episode, So Long, Spanky.
Errors
- During the intro, in the video on Arthur's first birthday, his ears are covered in the hat.
- Also in the video on D.W.'s first birthday, she was referred to as "D.W.", but she didn't chronologically go by that name until she was able to talk clearly.
- D.W.'s toy truck was brown when she was playing with it; but when she offers it to Kate, it changes to blue.
- When Arthur is supposed to watch Kate, Kate is wearing a green bow in her hair, a few seconds later, it's gone. Also in the same shot, Jane is in her regular clothes.
