The Nelson House Family Compound

They say it takes a village to raise a child - well, we have a family compound instead. In residence are:

Maia, Mummy, Daddy, Noonah, Uncle Alec (probably till June/July), Sarah (for holidays, weekends and whenever she can), Beckett, Manky Cat, Scotty and Harley (the cats). And some fish.

Everybody chips in. Alec recently graduated to Most Favoured Potty Person status... 'PEE!' Maia shouts, then surveys the available adoring adults to decide who will have the honour of accompanying her. I don't think he minds the pees, but he isn't all that thrilled about the poos.

She has a choice of people to sit down and have tea parties with. She has a choice of people who will watch the Incredibles, or Monsters Inc, or Finding Nemo with her (Pixar, I love you). She has lots of Her People at her size 5s, and that is wonderful.

We also have a guest room, so Her People who are not here (Papi, GrannyLonie, Patrick, Auntie Gen) can come and stay. You might even get to sit with her while she pees. If you are lucky.
