# Our family. #

Whose family are we going to meet today?

Eva's.

Eva is five and lives with her mum,

stepdad Carl

and baby brother Ben

in a town.

She also spends lots of time with her dad

who lives close by.

I wonder what they are up to today.

Whoa!

Eva is still asleep.

She must be having lovely dreams.

Mum and baby Ben come to wake her up.

Are you going to get ready? Get ready for school?

-Are you going to get up?

-Mum is not having much luck.

Maybe Ben can wake his sister.

Ben, wake her up. Ben, wake her up.

Wakey-wakey. Wakey-wakey.

Hiya!

-Eva can't resist the chance to give Ben a hug.

-Yeah, come on, then.

Are you going to get up?

-Morning, Eva.

-Morning, Carl.

Carl is awake, too.

Still sleepy, Eva struggles into her school dress.

I'll see you after school, darling. I'll see you out the door.

-Bye.

-Bye. Bye, Eva.

Bye. Say bye-bye.

Before school starts, Carl is taking Eva to her dad's for breakfast.

-Looking forward to school?

-Uh-huh.

-Yeah?

What do you think you might be doing?

-Alphabet.

-The alphabet?

-Yeah.

-Do you know the alphabet?

-Yeah.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G,

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P,

Q, R, S, T, U, V,

W, X, Y and Z.

That was fast. Can you do it faster?

A, B, C, D, E, F, G,

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P,

Q, R, S, T, U, V,

W, X, Y and Z.

# Now I know my ABCs

# Next time won't you sing with me? #

Wow, that was really quick!

-Looking forward to seeing Dad?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

What do you think he will make for your breakfast?

-Pancakes.

-Pancakes?

I always have pancakes at Dad's now.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

-Hm?

We're nearly here.

-At Dad's?

-Yeah.

They've arrived at Dad's.

-Morning.

-Hiya. You all right? Hello, mate. You OK?

-Yeah.

-You coming in?

-No, I've got to go.

-You shooting off, are you? Mwah.

-Have a good day at work.

-I will. Bye.

-See you later, matey.

See you later, alligator.

-Bye.

-See you later, mate.

-Are we going to make some pancakes?

-Yep.

I know how to make pancakes.

I think Eva has made pancakes before.

-Mix it.

-Mix it.

Mm. I can smell all the pancakes. Can you, Dad?

-I can smell the pancakes because I'm cooking them!

-Ha-ha.

-What do you want on it?

-Sugar.

-All over your arm, Dad.

-Sugar all over my arm?

-Yep.

-I don't know about that.

-Om, om, om, om, om, om, om.

Catch it.

Whoa.

One perfectly round pancake, ready to eat.

-Are they good?

-Yummy.

Thank you.

Someone was hungry.

Dad.

What, babes?

I'm finished my first pancake.

OK. Your other one won't be long.

It looks just about done.

Eat up, Eva. It will be time to leave for school soon.

So, what's happening after school?

-I'm going to April's to play with her.

-Has April got a pet?

A hamster called Lucy.

Do hamsters eat pancakes?

What do hamsters eat?

-Hamster cheeks.

-Hamster cheeks?

-That's where they store their food, isn't it?

-Mm-hm.

-But they could pop.

-They could pop, could they?

-What, their cheeks?

-Mm-hm.

After breakfast, a short walk to school.

-Going to go and see your friends?

-Yeah.

-Go on, then.

They arrive just in time for Eva to join in some fun.

Hi, everyone.

Her friend April is very happy to see her.

And they'll be playing together after school.

A quick goodbye to Dad

and a ring of the bell means it's time for school to start.

Good morning.

Hi.

School is finished and the mums are waiting.

Eva is going to play at April's house

after she has said goodbye to her other friends.

Come on, girls. Eva, April.

Bye, everyone. Bye.

Three, four...

On the way, Eva decides to count her steps.

..12, 13, 14...

..29, 30.

You've got to stop now. We're in.

They've arrived at April's house.

Playtime can begin.

Mm. Smell.

Does Lucy the hamster want to play, too?

I'll help you get her out.

No. Lucy is more interested in food.

Woohoo!

Oh, my goodness. How much food is she getting in her mouth?

Give her a stroke.

I think she's having enough food.

That's enough for winter.

What full cheeks,

filled with food that Lucy will eat later.

There you go, Lucy.

When does she only go through there?

Only at night-time.

You'll never fit your cheeks in there because they're too fat.

Right, say bye-bye, darling.

Playtime is over and Eva's mum has come to take her home.

Goodbye, Eva.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Back at Mum and Carl's,

Eva has found another friend to play with -

Bobby the big bear.

I'm going to play hide-and-seek, Bobby.

Ten,

nine,

-eight...

-Under the bed.

..seven, six,

five, four,

three, two,

one. Coming, ready or not.

Carl and Bobby are coming to find you!

Where are you?

I can hear breathing.

Don't make a sound, Eva.

CARL GROWLS, EVA SQUEALS

Got you.

Bobby's turn. He is a big bear. Where can he hide?

16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

Ready or not, here I come.

No.

No, he can't fit there.

Where's Bobby?

-He's not in the lounge with Mum, Carl and Ben.

-Bobby?

I'll have a look in mine.

Bobby is very well hidden.

Carl comes to help.

-Getting warmer.

-Hot means she's near.

Cold, further away.

Freezing. Cold. Cold. Freezing.

Freezing, freezing.

Hotter. Getting hotter.

Hot, hot, hot. Boiling.

Ah!

Hooray! Eva has found him.

Now what are they going to do?

Now, go. Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up.

EVA LAUGHS

-Bobby, this is fun, isn't it?

-'Yes!'

Come on, Bobby.

EVA LAUGHS

After a busy day, it's almost bedtime.

But not before lots of brushing.

First, hair,

and then teeth.

The Tooth Fairy likes nice sparkly teeth, doesn't she?

It's story time and Eva reads to Mum.

"A mess on the rug.

"Mop it up.

"The man got rid of the mess.

-"Top man."

-Top man.

And top reading from Eva.

A goodnight kiss for baby Ben

and Carl.

Woo!

-Night-night, sweetheart.

-Night-night.

-Sweet dreams.

And finally Mum.

Love you. Night-night, baby.

And once again,

Eva drifts off to the land of dreams.

I wonder who we are going to meet next time on Our Family.
