Yeah, I love that it's impossible to tell if he's disappointed with the toy or not. And he is even honest about the color, while keeping a smile on his face.
To me the kid wasn't very happy with his initial present, but he didn't want to be ungrateful. He was prepared with his answer "red" because the bike in the package wasn't exactly what he wanted. This is why the mom likely said, "exactly?" to him as a response after he said it. Because she knew he was saving face and it wasn't actually what he asked for. That's incredible emotional intelligence at this young of age.

His genuine gratitude for the toy version was lovely to see. What a beautiful child. I hope he has hundreds of glorious hours riding on that bike.
