🐕

Naomi is her main little one, but Katie is perfectly happy to jump in and care for any of the littles

the littles all call her Kaykay or just Kay

she's like the fun auntie - she'll let the kiddos paint her nails or do her hair and she'll absolutely take everyone out for ice cream

She can read Naomi like a book even though they don't talk much

she knows to keep an eye on Jo because she might wander off

she's always got some new game to play with Phoebe

she'll happily spend quiet time reading to / with Julien

she's so in tune with Lucy and always gives her the space to talk about what she's feeling. For example, sitting and colouring with her, listening intently while Lucy explains that sometimes she feels more like a girl and sometimes she feels more like a boy and that's okay because not everybody feels like one thing all the time.

she's also very good at keeping Lucy calm if she feels like she's made a mistake.

She's just generally very good with all of the littles in a one-on-one context

in groups it's a little harder to keep track of everyone's needs and she can get overwhelmed if too many people need something from her at the same time

Jo and Naomi have a very partners-in-crime type of dynamic when they're both small

they get into so much mischief

Katie knows to check on them if they're being too quiet because they're probably up to something they shouldn't be

Jo talks for Naomi a lot, and Katie often has to remind them that just because Jo wants something doesn't mean Naomi wants the same thing

They do get into arguments occasionally, usually over silly things like whose turn it is to pick the movie for movie night (Naomi always picks Spiderman and Jo gets "boooorrrrreeeeddddd")

Age range: 4-5

Jo doesn't regress often, and when she does, they're pretty shy about it

but if it's just them and Kelli, they're a little more comfortable

they're so curious about absolutely everything and will ask "why" ten times in a row

all that ADHD energy comes out when they're small, and it leads to them being the most rambunctious and impulsive kiddo

and Bleu is her partner in crime

there have been multiple times where Jo and Bleu have wandered off in the middle of their walk (hence backpack leash) and Kelli found them crouched down to look at some cool beetle or caterpillar

she loves climbing (monkey bars, trees, etc) and looking at insects

their favourite comfort item is their stuffed monkey, Bugs

Katie is pretty much her only safe person other than Kelli

but even then, they'll seek her out for a hug and not a lot else

Naomi is good at recognizing when she's little, and will offer a ruffle of her hair and a "you good, buddy?"

it took her a long time to be comfortable with little Naomi, but now they're inseparable. Josette more than makes up for Naomi's lack of talking by rambling about anything and everything, and they'll happily play Spiderman with them - which makes Naomi very happy.

Age range: 6-8

Naomi is without a doubt the biggest Spiderman kid on the planet

their favourite comfort items are the ten-or-so Spiderman figurines they've collected over the years, which Katie has for sure stepped on many, many times.

generally very quiet. they pretty much don't talk, but they do mumble to themselves / narrate what they're doing. They also infodump about Spiderman sometimes. Mostly with Julien.

even though they don't talk much, Katie always knows exactly what's going on in their head by their facial expressions

they like to colour and do crafts, most of which are Spiderman-themed

they also like to play video games, specifically minecraft (they have a Spiderman skin)

Katie is their caregiver and for sure their safest person. She's the only one who gets to see their particularly sweet side, and they love making her cards and drawings which she praises them greatly for

Jo can be a fun babysitter, but Naomi will pout about it not being Katie.

When Jo's little, though, they're Naomi's best friend (mostly because she'll play Spiderman with them). Katie often has to banish them to the backyard because Jo is completely unable to regulate her volume and Naomi's making sound effects for their 'battles' that are driving her insane.

Phoebe often joins in with Naomi and Jo's antics whether she's big or small, but it's more fun when she's small because she's not enforcing the rules

Age range: 7-9

witchy/fairy kid

Button is her familiar and she has a stuffed version of him for when she's on tour / can't have him with her

her favourite nickname is Katie Cat

she loves to be outside and will spend hours collecting things to make her spells (but does NOT like dirt or messy play)

her favourite spells to make are protection spells and love spells

her hair is somehow always tangled when she's small

she doesn't have a main cg but Lucy, Jo, and Naomi are all happy to babysit and she loves to rope them into her games

she's also very clingy and cuddly when she's small and will pause her play for a hug every ten minutes or so

she's very shy with people she doesn't know well, including Julien and Phoebe when they're big

when it comes to sibling dynamics, she can be a bit self-centered. she gets easily annoyed with Naomi, Josette, and Phoebe's rough play, and gets jealous of how much attention Julien gets.

she's also bossy, and the others can get easily frustrated with her telling them what to do, but she still loves them and will protect them with her life if anyone is judgy or rude

and Lucy is her very best friend when they're both small

Julien calls her mommy, Phoebe calls her mama or Lucy depending on how old she's feeling, and Katie calls her Lu

Naomi and Jo both just call her Lucy when she's babysitting

she's a very touchy-feely caregiver

like her babies will be in her lap, they will be getting forehead kisses and so many hugs and hair brushed back from their faces

and she's always happy to sit and cuddle

but she's equally happy to roughhouse or follow her little ones' lead in imaginative play, especially when Phoebe, Naomi, and Jo are little together

Naomi and Jo are the hardest for her, because they're both so high-energy, but she's found that taking them on an adventure to the playground is generally a safe bet

when she's caring for Katie, Lucy is 100% happy to sit outside with a book and watch Katie work on her spells, or let Katie do a tarot reading for her

she keeps a journal of all the funny things the others say or do when small, which she and Katie like to look at together when they need a laugh

Phoebe is Julien's best big brother when they're both small

They generally get along really well, and Lucy can count on Phoebe to be her Helper when it comes to caring for Julien

Phoebe is so proud of her ability to keep her little sibling safe and happy, and Lucy knows just how devoted she is to the younger little

but occasionally there's a clash between Phoebe being sensory-seeking and Julien being sensory-avoidant

sensory tools are an absolute necessity whenever they're small and Lucy keeps a basket of fidgets, chewies, and headphones in the living room for them

sometimes Phoebe just needs some loud play time, so Lucy usually banishes her to the backyard to bounce on the trampoline or chase the dogs while Julien colours or plays quietly inside

there are also times when Phoebe will get too rough with her play and Lucy has to remind her that Julien's littler and she needs to be careful not to overwhelm her

Lucy tries to avoid screen time for both of her little ones, but she'll set Phoebe up with her iPad while Julien's napping because she doesn't trust the older boy to be quiet otherwise

Age Range: 8-12

Lu is quiet and creative when she's little

she loves imaginative play and reading, and often imagines herself as the characters from her books

her favourite imaginative play game is pretending she's a bunny, and her favourite comfort item is her stuffy bunny, Eleanor

Her nickname is Lu / lil Lu

She likes to insist that she's a "big kid" and gets frustrated easily when she can't do something

she's definitely a perfectionist and can be so hard on herself if what she's working on doesn't turn out exactly as she'd imagined it

she's also got a lot of trauma around her queerness, so a big part of her regression is needing a space where being openly gay and genderqueer is normalized and safe

she stims a lot when she's little because she spent a lot of time masking as a kid and her littlespace is one of the only times she feels truly safe to unmask

Julien is her main caregiver, and they like to do a lot of quiet activities together when Lu is small, like reading, or puzzles, or just sitting and talking.

When Julien's small too, she's Lucy's little sibling, and Lucy does her very best to take care of her. She knows that Julien doesn't love imagination games, but they'll often play with their stuffies together or colour or just cuddle.

Lucy and Katie take turns babysitting for each other, and when they're both small they're best friends (to pretty much everyone else's chagrin). Lucy likes to try and care for the younger littles even when she's in headspace, but sometimes Katie's desire for one-on-one time rubs off on her - though she usually feels pretty guilty about leaving people out.

Age Range: 2-4

the official baby of the family

Julien's regression stems from a mix of religious trauma and neurodivergence, and thus she is her least religious and most autistic when regressed

she's pretty quiet when she's small, unless she's talking about dinosaurs and sharks, which are her very favourite things to learn about

most of her communication is via shark/dinosaur facts, or through one of her many, many stuffed animals. For example, if she puts her headphones on her shark stuffy, Lucy knows she's overstimulated

Her very favourite stuffy is her puppy lovey, Rigby. honourable mentions are Lil Pup and her deer from the tour in 2024. most of the others are dinosaurs and sharks

she struggles with imaginative play, far preferring repetitive and systematic play where she lines up or sorts her toys. she also likes to colour and draw, but she also experiences fine motor skill regression when she's small, so she doesn't usually have the dexterity of her adult self and can get upset when her art doesn't turn out

her sensory issues get a lot worse when she's small, leading to problems with identifying her emotions (which tend to feel a lot bigger and more overwhelming when she's small) as well as with how her body is feeling (leading to the occasional toileting accident which embarrasses her greatly)

Lucy is her mommy and her safest person. If she happens to be regressed at the same time, she's "Yucy" and Julien's big sibling.

Phoebe is "Phee Phee" or "Phee bee" and Julien's favourite aunt or best big brother. There's nothing Phoebe wouldn't do for her little sibling, and Julien looks up to her so much.

Naomi and Jo are both less safe people for little Julien. she's not always sure how to act around them and they can be unpredictable in headspace. but Naomi will listen to her ramble about sharks and Jo gives really good hugs, so she supposes they're alright.

Age Range: 5-6

space kid!

there's so much imaginative play about being an astronaut, or an alien, or a scientist who's studying outer space, or getting sucked into a black hole

Phoebe's favourite comfort item is her alien stuffy, Gorb

she's always drawing new planets and new aliens and rocket ships of all different shapes and sizes and colours

Lucy and Julien took so much time and effort to make her room at their house feel special - glow-in-the-dark stars and space-themed stuffed animals. they're the ones who bought her her astronaut helmet which almost never comes off

Julien also bought an incredibly expensive telescope and set it up on the back deck, and she and Phoebe like to look up at the night sky together. The three of them also regularly drive out into the hills to go stargazing away from the lights of the city

Lucy is really Phoebe's main caregiver because more often than not, Phoebe being small will trigger Julien dropping into her own littlespace.

Phoebe adores her little sibling and takes great pride in being a big brother. She loves to play with Julien, even though Julien doesn't always fully understand the imaginative play. She likes to teach Julien things about space and hear her little sibling ramble about dinos and sharks in response.

Phoebe's a very high-energy kid, and when she gets together with Naomi and Jo the chaos is at least tripled if not more
