The next morning I was up and out of my very wet diaper just in time for breakfast.

Mom was busy in the bath room putting on her face and I still had to get dressed and find all my things like pencils, pens and scribblers. I still could not find my school bag and I needed that, so I could carry everything to school including a diaper change. Mon asked me what I was wearing and I told her “The same as Friday” She said that was ok and to make sure that I wore the right baby pants, this time, over my trainers. Mom asked me to get David to pick up his new diapers after school on his way home. I went into the bath room and modeled my outfit for the day and mother approved telling me to keep my shirt tail in or someone was bound to notice my baby pants sticking out. She said that she was going to fix that the first chance she got and that she had an idea on how to solve the problem. I finally found my school bag and Mom told me to put an extra pair on my trainers in the bottom of it, just in case, and that Betty could help me out at lunch time if I needed a change.

“Jon if you do go into the baby shop today, please pick up a couple of pairs of the Gerber Toddler sized baby pants will you, so we can try them out and see how they fit you and see if she has an other pair of the pink Angel Wear super sized ones too.

I was ready first and itching to go so I kissed Mom and out the door I went.

“Good morning Mrs. James, is David ready for school?”

“Yes Jon he is, no delays this morning! I think he slept pretty good last night in his diapers, thanks to you Jon; I appreciate your help with him Jon. ----- David, Jon’s here sweetheart, better hurry up!”

David and I left for school. We had had quite a week end together and it was only going to get better as the new school year started. Everything was to become a routine from now on. I wore my trainers and baby pants during the day and Mom diapered me at night. At school I made a couple of new friends and reconnected with some old ones. They didn’t know about my diapers except for David and he wasn’t going to tell on me. It was Tuesday afternoon before I could drop into the baby shop to get the Gerber baby pants and I wanted a few new nipples plus my Mom wanted another pair of the pink Angel Wear baby pants for me, she liked me in pink. Betty had milk and cookies for me and of course I had to pass the wet diaper check first. Her soft hands knew all the places to check and how to manipulate me to give her the best access. She really liked me and I could sense a motherly nurturing sort of ownership of me, from her. As I sat at the counter of her shop, another mother came in with a two year old still in diapers, in tow. She looked at me watching her baby and asked me if I was glad not to be a baby anymore. Betty piped up that it was amazing how fast children grow up. I had all my baby pants and nipples setting on the counter in front of me. She said that I was good boy for shopping, for the baby, for my mother. Betty just looked at me, smiled and served her. Betty put everything in a bag for me and she also gave me a paper, saying it was some information for my mother and to make sure that she got it.

On Wednesday I met Sally in the play ground at recess in the morning. She was in grade three now but she still talked to me even though I was put back with the little kids.

“Hi Jon, what’s doing, did you have fun last summer? ---- I went to the country.”

“Hi Sally, ya, I had a great summer even if I really didn’t go anywhere special, I played with David and another boy called Jimmy, a lot and we went places together.”

“I heard that you lost your father Jon and it made me feel so sad for you!

“My Mom says that things will get better now, thanks for caring, sometimes I feel quite alone now.

“It’s ok if you want to talk to me Jon, I’m your friend, remember, and I will try to understand.”

“Thanks Sally, maybe we can play sometime, I can play Jacks with you, but not here, you know why. The other boys would tease me for playing a girls game!

The bell rang and recess was over and I went back to my class. My teacher, Mrs. Dione asked me to help her get something in the coat room. When we were alone she told me that my shirt tail was out and that my baby pants were showing a little. I let her help me tuck them back in. She asked me why I was wearing them and I told her that I was having trouble making it to the bathroom in time and sometimes I wet myself. She said that maybe it was a good idea to wear the baby pants and that I could leave the room any time that I needed to go quick. She warned me to be careful about who knew about my condition and that she would try to keep it a secret. I went back to my seat and that was it for that conversation. I found it a lot easer to study in school when I had the trainers and baby pants on. When I had them on, I didn’t have to worry all the time about wetting my pants and embarrassing myself.

David and I passed an uneventful week besides that and the only thing that really happened was that David told me on Tuesday that he wanted to come over on Friday night, for a sleepover. I asked Mom and she said that Barb was going to baby sit me on the week end so she could catch up on the house work and things and because she was going to be working late on Friday.

“If David doesn’t mind being diapered by Barb I suppose it would be ok Jon, you had better ask him and his Mom, ok.”

I told David and he thought about it for about a half a second and said;

“Sure Jon, you told me you like the way she diapers you more than you like the way your Mom does it and I can’t imagine anybody doing it better than your Mom! I love the way we were able to play dressed just in our diapers and baby pants the last time with your Mom. I’ll ask my Mom if it would be ok, and I am sure she will say yes.”

My Mom called Barb to make sure it was alright if David came to sleep over with me Friday night. Barb asked her if she was supposed to diaper him too and my Mom said that it that she would have to diaper both of us. It didn’t take Barb long to reply; “Sure I think that would be fun for me to baby sit the both of them.” David bugged me again the next day asking if everything was ok for the sleepover. It was like Friday couldn’t get here fast enough.

Friday rolled around and I went and met him in the morning so we could walk to school together. He was ready, but you could tell that he was also excited about the sleep over. He asked his mother to make sure that his overnight bag was packed by the time he got home from school. His Mom asked him if he wanted to take Flopsy Wopsy along with him for the night. I asked David who Flopsy Wopsy was and he replied a friend for Mr. Bear.

Mom got a few calls at night from other parents about making and sewing diapers for other bedwetting children. There was a diaper service, Wee Folks diaper service, 1469 NOTRE DAME ST. E. Tel. FAIkirk 3769 supplying them already with youth sized cloth diapers, but they were just large pre folds pre treated with Diaparene to avoid rashes and they didn’t fit as well as the ones Mom was making. Moms were softer and because they were sewn thicker and youth shaped, they absorbed more and were easier to pin on. Betty told her customers that they were the best diaper that she had seen for the larger bedwetting child. Mother could also adjust her pattern so that she could custom fit them for each child.

After school on Friday there was just no stopping David, he cornered me after class as we were getting ready to leave.

“Jon, can we go to your place right away, I just have to go home and pick up my bag and then I’m ready. What time is Barb going to get there, maybe we should go and see, maybe she will think that I’m not coming, please Jon can we go right away?”

“Hold your horses David, we can go play in the park before dinner you know, I’d like to go play outside first a little if you don’t mind.”

“Ok Jon, it’s just that I want to find out why you think Barb is so special!”

“You’ll find out alright, just give it a little time and don’t rush things, ok; there will be lots of time to play with Barb after dinner.”

David was starting to be a real pest, but it was ok, I knew that he was starting to enjoy being diapered and babied. We went to his place first and his mother gave him his bag making sure to point out that she put two diapers and a pair of baby pants in it to wear, along with Flopsy Wopsy and his pj’s. She kissed him telling him to be good and not cause any trouble. We took all his stuff to my place first and then went to the park. Barb had not arrived yet and David nearly had a nervus breakdown because of it. Jimmy was at the park and we played with him for awhile. I was dry after school but that didn’t last to long once that I got to the park, it was just one of those things, one minute I was dry and the next I was swimming in warm pee. My trainers wouldn’t hold it all and a little leaked down my leg and filled my shoe. David noticed and that really made him want to go back to my place.

“Jon, you wet your pants pretty bad and your diapers are leaking, maybe we should go and find Barb, don’t you think, she must be home by now, please lets go!”
