An older sister records a video diary for the baby, so the baby will know the family if the years get away.

A diary for the youngest. A mother, a father, a house full of children. Keep it.
The premise is stewardship: Charlie is unexpected, the parents are tired and employed, and Teddy decides the baby will need a map of these people. The jokes are sitcom jokes, including some that a parent should be in the room for. The structure is not a joke. Four children, a mother who works as a nurse, a father who is present, a house that is the set because the house is the point.
Good family television of the ordinary kind, which is the kind a week can use. Skip the episodes that go crude for a laugh. Keep the ones where the baby is actually being thought of as a person who will one day watch.

The eight
Industry
7/10
A nurse's shifts, a father's work, homework, a video that takes effort.
Household
10/10
The family is the entire subject, including the child who cannot speak yet.
Piety
3/10
Decency. The diary is an act of care, not a prayer.
Courage
4/10
Ordinary nerve: telling each other the awkward thing.
Republic
5/10
Neighbors and school. The public is not the plot.
Temperance
6/10
Sitcom excess, usually pulled back by the parents.
Truth
7/10
The diary is an attempt to tell the baby the truth about who they are.
Stewardship
9/10
She is making a record for someone who will outlast the week. That is the definition.
