Whose family are we going to meet today?

Maia's!

Maia is four years old.

She lives with her mum, dad and little sister, Nyla...

..in a city.

I wonder what they're up to today.

It's morning, and Maia heads downstairs

to make breakfast for the whole family.

Scrambled eggs.

Dad's going to help.

Crack.

Maia checks for bits of shell.

-I don't think there's any shells.

-I think you've got one there.

Yeah, one there, but no more, I think.

SHE LAUGHS

Some milk goes in with the eggs... and then a good mix.

Brilliant.

-Mix.

-Gentle.

I can see the egg going down.

Yeah. What colour is it turning to?

They look orange, but they start being yellow,

but now they're orange.

-Look, Daddy!

-Oooh!

One last whisk of the whisk.

It's ready.

Toast.

I'll put it in.

I like toast.

Dad takes charge of cooking the eggs.

The pan is very hot.

Oh, Maia, it's looking yummy.

I can see it already.

Up pops the toast.

Yeah!

And Maia butters it while it's still warm.

Lots and lots of butter.

I think that toast has got lots and lots of butter!

SHE LAUGHS

Oh, is the breakfast coming?

Mum and little sister Nyla are up and ready to tuck in.

Oh, look at that, Nyla!

Mmm.

-Daddy's sitting here and I'm just getting your one.

-Wow.

Oh, thank you! That looks delicious.

Nyla, do you like it?

Yummy in my tummy!

Daddy, what's your favourite?

Egg and toast together.

What's your favourite?

My favourite is the egg.

I like the toast and the egg the best.

Creamy scrambled eggs.

What a lovely breakfast, Maia.

-Hi, Nyla.

-Hello, Doctor.

Welcome to Maia's hospital.

She's playing the doctor and little sister Nyla is her patient.

-My arm is hurting.

-OK, Nyla.

Don't worry, Nyla. Dr Maia will know what to do.

Where is it hurting?

-Here?

-Yeah.

The bandage will help Nyla's poorly arm feel better.

Keep that on. Don't take it off.

-OK.

-Let me just check your arm.

Time for some tests, just to be sure.

You're very hot.

A few more checks and Dr Maia makes a very important decision.

You do need medicine.

-Orange one or strawberry?

-Strawberry.

Come on, drink. Good girl.

I hope the pretend medicine works!

Nyla, do you feel better now?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Dr Maia has cured Nyla.

And the next patient is Dad.

What happened?

Well, I was running, then I fell over and I hurt my leg.

Nurse Nyla has come to help.

I'll bandage it. Nyla, check Daddy's temperature.

Let me just get you the medicine.

Orange one or strawberry?

I prefer strawberry.

You get three every day.

They soon fix Dad up.

Try and walk.

-OK.

-Try and walk.

-OK.

-Now let's take your bandage off.

Just remember to take it easy on that leg, Dad.

It's a very busy hospital.

Mum needs the doctor now.

What hurts?

My headache.

Nurse Nyla gives Mum a quick check over.

-Anything stuck?

-Let me see...

Mummy, you've got something in your head.

-I just need to carefully take it out.

-Oh, no!

What is it?

It's a circle.

Mummy, would you like strawberry or orange?

Orange, please.

Fruity flavoured medicine is popular today.

Oh, that's very nice medicine.

Do you have chocolate flavour, too?

-No. We will get some tomorrow.

-OK.

Bandages on.

Well done, Dr Maia. Everyone is feeling better.

Outside in the garden, Maia is setting up an obstacle course.

I think it's finished now.

She challenges Dad to race around the course

with a golf club and ball.

Daddy, me and you have to try

and get it through those obstacle courses.

-OK, are you going to start first?

-Yeah.

One, two...

Dad's counting how long it takes Maia to push the ball

-to the end of the course.

-..four, five, six...

Make sure you go around all the obstacles, Maia.

..12, 13...

14...

15...

16!

Nyla and Mum are enjoying watching the game.

OK, see how long it takes me.

Dad's turn.

Ready?

One, two, three...

Oops!

You'll need to be faster than Maia to win, Dad.

..13, 14,

15, 16!

It's a draw!

I'll do it faster!

Ready, steady, go.

One...

Maia has one more go to try and do it quicker.

..12, 13...

..14.

I win!

Maia is the champion!

And to prove it, she races Dad.

We both have to do it and Mummy has to count.

On your marks, get set, go!

One, two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten...

I win!

Maia's just too quick for Dad.

I'm the winner! I'm the winner!

I got it.

Let's put your blanket on.

Back inside, the girls make a den under the table.

Mum helps with the doors.

And the other one this side.

And this one on this side.

This is the front door.

It looks very cosy.

And some friends have come to visit.

I just need to get something, Mum.

Let me just open my front door.

And there's plenty of room for more.

I've got another friend.

Nyla, you can get that one to cuddle.

Nyla, come on, get in.

Careful with the door, Nyla.

Oh, dear.

Here comes Mum to rescue the door.

But watch out for the other one!

Hey, my door's fallen over, too!

-Oh, no! Shall I help you?

-Yeah.

Both den doors back on and, inside, Maia helps Nyla practice her words.

Now, Nyla, what's that called?

-A dog.

-Good.

What's that called?

-Man.

-Good.

Top work, Nyla.

An owl.

A crab.

A moon.

This one might be a bit trickier.

-A sun.

-No.

-A bedtime.

-No!

-MAIA LAUGHS

-A drum.

-No.

Sta..sta...

star.

Star.

What letter do we need for this one?

Nyla spells the word "leg" with letter stickers.

This one.

Good girl, Nyla.

Now what's next? Try and guess.

Good girl.

Just one more letter to find.

Somewhere on this side.

-Green one.

-Let me see.

Nope, not that one, but good try, Nyla.

Good girl, Nyla.

Let's put one of those on the board.

You've made "leg".

Well done, Nyla.

I think you both deserve a rest after that.

You can get into bed.

Can my baby sleep here?

Yeah, your baby can sleep there, too.

Goodnight, everyone.

Now we can go to sleep...

finally.

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