Instead of taking me to the potty like he normally did, Daddy turned around and led me into the bedroom. He tossed the diaper with a cute little giraffe on the front onto the bed and stepped in front of me. Out of habit, I lifted my hands in the air so he could help me out of my big boy clothes. “I’d like it if you eventually tried using one. And no, I don’t think it’s gross or any other mean word. I think it takes a very strong little boy to use his diaper and trust Daddy to clean him up. Would you like to try it tonight and tomorrow?”
“Only until I have to go to work?” I was a little bit excited about being Daddy’sbabyboy, but no way could I wear a diaper to work. I’d be distracted all night wondering if someone was going to see it, and I wouldn’t be able to use my diaper because Daddy wouldn’t be there to change me.
“Absolutely,” Daddy confirmed. “When you have to get ready for work, Daddy will put on your big boy undies like I do when you go to school.”
“Then yes, I want that.” Daddy guided me to the edge of the bed. I laid down on my back with my arms up over my head. When Daddy tapped on my hip, I lifted up so he could pull down my pants and take care of my undies. “Don’t I need to use the potty before sleepy times?”
“Do youneedthe potty now or do you think you can wait until later?”
I pursed my lips while I thought about it. I didn’treallyneed to go yet. And if I did, I might not have to pee in the morning. The only way I had any hope of trying my new diaper was if I was all sleepy and the bully voice in my head couldn’t be loud. “I’ll wait, Daddy.”
“That’s my brave boy.” The crinkling of the diaper sounded super loud as Daddy unfolded it. I lifted my hips again when he tried slipping the diaper under my bottom. I felt tingly but Daddy didn’t touch my treasures as he swiftly covered my front and pulled the flaps around, patting the adhesive tabs. “There. That’s better. Now you won’t have to try to sneak out of the bed when you wake up in the morning. You look adorable, baby.”
“Can I see?” Daddy lifted me into his arms. I clung to him like a baby chimp as he carried me to the living room. I twisted around so I could see my padded bum before Daddy put me down. It felt strange, but it was definitely something I could get used to. “I love it, Daddy. Thank you!”
I squeezed his face and pressed my lips to his smooshed lips. He cradled the back of my head when I released him. “Let’s get your teeth brushed and then it’s time for bed. We’ve got a busy day ahead of us.”
I groaned, not wanting to think about tomorrow’s punishment. But I’d do just about anything Daddy asked to thank him for not turning me away when I messed up.
