Nielsen Lane Items
- This document primarily describes the desires of the siblings (Sandy,
Mary Ann,
Carol,
Rick).
Some sibling children desires are already known and indicated.
- ‘Decided ownership’ means a sibling is definitely taking an item;
such items have a box around them.
- Sometimes a single name appears after an item, without a box around it.
This may mean:
- they are the only person (thus far) who has expressed interest in the item
- they are not sure if they really do want the item
- Large items in the house with decided ownership have been physically labeled with post-it notes.
- More than one sibling desiring an item is coded in red.
Such decisions will be decided among competing siblings.
- Items available to sibling children are marked with a grey background.
- Items that have already been decided and taken are not indicated here.
Items will be removed from this list as they are taken.
