THANKSGIVING It happened over the Thanksgiving holiday of 1999. Before I start with the story, I'll give you some background. Yes, I'm a teen baby, but no, this story is not mainly about me. It's about the cousins that I have the pleasure of babysitting so very often. If you want to know about me and diapers, I suggest you contact me, because I have pics of me from when I was 15, 16, 17, and the most recent ones if you want them. I'm 18 and I live with my mother in Alma, Georgia. This story is entirely about my favorite cousins who stayed with me this Thanksgiving. I used to live in Philadelphia in an apartment. But some bad stuff happened to me up there (financially that is) and to make a long story short, here I am in Georgia. My mom saved up quite a bit of money when she worked for a securities firm, and retired early about a year ago and built herself a nice house on 30 acres of land (which include a rather nicely populated (deer wise) woods, a well- stocked pond, and untrimmed field (for bird hunting) and the rest of it is pasture for the horses. The house is a 2 story rectangle, 80 feet by 55 feet (roughly) and is surrounded by a 10 foot porch. It's a solid log house (no insulating or fake walls, just foot thick logs). There are 11 (the great room has a ceiling that goes up to the roof) rooms, 6 on each floor (5 on the second.). Each room is roughly a square 25 by 25 feet (some are smaller due to bathroom and utility placement). 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, a smoking room (no smoking in other parts of the house - the room also has a bar and a beer tap in it), a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a great room (for you non-southern types, a great room is a cross between a living room and a den... it has good furniture and a TV to put it frankly). My family is kind of large, not really big though. I really only associate with my mother's side, as my on my father's side I never knew my grandparents. I'm sad to say, that my grandparents on my mother's side passed away only a few years ago. However, that means everyone in the family meets at my mother's house. I am the youngest Grandchild. All of my first cousins (my 2 aunts children) are about twenty-six to thirty-four years old. Some have children, some don't. The oldest of the Great Grandchild is only 13. People started arriving around 12 noon on the 22nd (Tuesday). First to come was Heath (my cousin) and his wife and his one and a half year son old Bryce. Then came my Aunt Gloria. At about 3 o'clock my cousin Mitch arrived with his 1 and a half year old boy, Taylor. 5 minutes later Tom (another cousin) and his wife, Jen, arrived with Tom Jr. who is also 18 months. Needless to say, they were all in diapers, still only babies. Soon enough, My other Aunt, Wanda, arrived. Following My Aunt Wanda and her husband Jim was Stacey and her husband Randy. With them came their boy Justice who is three. He hasn't been potty trained and they subscribe to the motto, "he'll start when HE is ready". The rest arrived as a group at about 3 P.M. and included Sherry (who is single), Steve (who is divorced) and Susie with her husband Mike. Of course, the last to arrive was Scott and his wife Andy. Scott is more like a brother to me than a cousin. I see him and his kids more than I see the rest of the family. We both take after my grandfather. Tall, dirty-blond hair, blue eyes, well muscled. His kids are the same way. We are considered the cutest of the family :) He's a little bit of a shady character though, and tends to skip out on responsibilities a lot. His wife is a great mother, but anytime she sees an opportunity to get out of taking care of kids, she seizes it. With them of course came their sons. Danny, who is 4 (about 2 weeks from being 5). Danny is still in diapers because he has messy accidents at night and wets his pants constantly during the day. The funny thing is, the kid is sharp as a razor. He takes after Scott and me in his size. He's quite big for his age. I guess his brain matured faster than the rest of him. And of course there was Chris, who is 7 (8 in 2 months). Chris takes after his mother's side in size, though. He is really small for his age, which is unusual for my family, because most of us look about 2 or 3 years older than we usually are. He's only about the size of a 5 year old, and could pass for 5 if you really wanted him to. The only way you could tell he wasn't as young as he looked was the way he talks. Along with the "handsome" genes that came from my grandfather, also came his amazing intelligence. My Grandfather had a 6th grade education but he was one of the designers of the first Space-Shuttle. Chris wets the bed every night and wears Goodnites for it. That is another trait that both Scott and I shared. He didn't stop wetting the bed till 15, I didn't stop wetting every night till I was 16, and Chris and Danny probably wont stop till around that age, too. I never got to wear diapers to bed, though. my mom potty trained me at 2 and that was the end of it on her part. My mom didn't believe in kids wearing diapers past the age of 2 (she is really different from the rest of the family) and it wasn't till I was 12 and had money to buy the diapers for myself that I got to wear them on a constant basis. But I digress... We were all a little tired that night, so we had a quick dinner and decided rooming arrangements (we are used to a lot of company and have two or 3 beds in each room). It's kind of first come, first served at my house. My mother got her own bedroom, as did Aunt Wanda and Jim and Aunt Gloria. Heath and his wife and kids took a bedroom with Mitch and his family. Stacey and Randy and their kid took a bedroom with Susie and Mike. Steve and Cherry took the couches in the smoking room. I of course, got my bedroom. Scott and Andy, who arrived late, got stuck on the floor in the smoking room. I suggested that Danny and Chris could sleep with me while they were there, and Scott said that would be great. In my family, it's a regular thing for the kids to sleep with other people. Danny and Chris thought it really cool to be able to sleep with their big cousin Josh (they look up to me, of course... I'm older than them and I don't scold them for doing naughty stuff). Of course, with them sleeping with me, I would be doing all the nightly diaper changes and checking. This comes with the territory. Around 8, all the parents got their kids ready for bed and I took it upon myself to get Danny and Chris ready for bed. I grabbed Danny's (nearly empty) pack of diapers, the changing mat and both the kids clothing cases and led them up to my room. I changed Danny's diaper and helped Chris into his Goodnites. I put Danny's night shirt on him and Chris got out a fuzzy terry cloth sleeper. He said he wanted to wear that tonight. I told him "good choice. That makes you look really cute". He just blushed. So helped him get into it. Then we all rejoined the rest of the family in the great room for a round of television. Around 9 the babies nodded off. My cousins, with Justice, Bryce, Taylor and Tom retired to their rooms to sleep. I carried the drowsy 4 year old Danny to the single bed in my room, covered him up, gave him a quick goodnight kiss and a pat on the diaper, and went back downstairs to join the remaining family. At 10, my aunts and mother went to bed, leaving the rest of us who went to the bar in the smoking room and had a few drinks. Chris was right on my heels, even though he was about to nod off himself. We sat around drinking and shooting the shit. Chris had been sitting in my lap (I slipped him a few sips of my beers) and had nodded off. About 10:30 I felt a warmth spread in his bottom, knowing he had just wet. I kind of snickered to myself and just enjoyed it. At 11:00, we disbanded and everyone went to their decided places on the couches. I gently woke the wet 7 year old on my lap and led him, still half asleep, to my room. I quietly closed my room door and turned on the movie "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" at a low volume. I laid the sleepy seven year old on the padded changing mat set up in my floor, unzipped his sleeper and took it off of him. He told me he had wet his goodnights with a slight frown. He was kind of embarrassed he did it in my lap. I told him it was okay. I mentioned that both his daddy and I wet ourselves when we were sleeping till we were in our teens! I could tell that made him feel better and he started smiling drowsily. I ripped the sides of the Goodnite off and pulled it gently from between his legs. I got another Goodnite out of the 3/4 empty package and laid it next to him. I took some baby wipes, wiped him off really well and reached for the lotion. I grabbed his ankles and lifted his legs up like you would if you were changing a baby. He told me that really wasn't needed, and that his parents only did that at home. I replied that I had been changing his diapers ever since he was born, and that everyone that has wet needs a wiping off (this is very true, diaper rash is not pleasant to have). I applied a copious amount of baby lotion to his butt and groin. I started rubbing it in and saw he had a little hard on. I just giggled at him. He looked very embarrassed and looked away from me. I turned his head towards me and said in a very clear and serious voice, "Chris, that is nothing to be ashamed of. Every single time that you change a baby or a kid in diapers (he quickly interjected "Goodnites" to which I nodded) they get a bit of a stiffy. It happens to everyone when getting their diaper changed. I once asked a doctor if it was normal, and he said 'hell yes, it's just a reaction to the attention lovingly given to the area. It happens to everyone!'" That too, made him feel better. I sprinkled some baby powder on him and he sneezed. He grinned and giggled as I slid the Goodnite up to his knees. I stood him up, pulled the disposable underpants up all the way and helped him get into his sleeper. I zipped it up and he climbed into my bed. He immediately closed his eyes and started snoring softly. I balled up the wet Goodnite and tossed it into my trash can. I then walked over to the single bed to check on little Danny (for his age though, I guess he could be considered big!). When I pulled back the cover I could already tell by the smell he needed a changing. I picked him up and laid him down on the changing mat. He barely even woke up as I took off his poop-filled diaper and cleaned up his cute-as-a- button bottom. It took me a few minutes to completely clean him off. The poop had spread from the top of his cheeks to the bottom of his little weenie because he had been lying down. I thought to myself 'man, this kid must have not poop in a year or two" because of the horrendous amount he had excreted into his diaper. After making sure there was nothing left of the poop I applied lotion and baby powder, then pulled out a fresh diaper for him. He too, had gotten a stiffy (as I said before, everyone his age does when getting a diaper changed) and I noticed how large the diaper was and looked at the package. Pampers Size 6. Man, these things were huge for baby diapers. I gripped his ankles, lifted his bottom and slid the diaper under him lowered his bottom and taped it up. I picked him up and carried him to the bed still mostly asleep. I balled up the dirty diaper, tied it in a plastic bag and tossed it in my trash can. I then got a naughty idea... If Chris didn't have any Goodnites to wear, then he would have to wear his brother's diapers to bed (his parents have done it many times when he's run out of goodnights). I took the remaining 5 goodnights and hid them in the top of my closet and tossed the package in the trash can. I knew Chris liked to wearing Goodnites (he said the reason was that they made him feel comfortable knowing he wasn't going to get his sheets wet, and that was the truth as far as I am concerned), but really didn't like the idea of wearing his brother's diapers. I once told him there really wasn't any difference between Goodnites and diapers except the fuzzy outside and the tear-away sides. To that he replied "Yeah, but they are my BROTHER'S diapers!" Good ol' sibling rivalry. I jumped in bed with Chris and he snuggled up to me, curling a leg and his arms around my body. I turned to him, placed one hand around his shoulders and the other I rested on his diapered butt. I happily went to sleep. I was rudely awakened at 5:30 A.M. on Wednesday by Heath. He told me all the guys were going deer hunting, and asked if I would like to join him. I kind of regretted using up all my ammo the weekend before for target practice. I graciously declined and told him I had no ammo and my camo jacket was moth-eaten and useless. He nodded, a little disappointed, and exited. I have an antique rifle, 1934 Russian military 7.63x54r. The shells on it are ridiculously big. Out of the entire family, I am the best shot and I always get the biggest buck. The rest of the family considers me a good luck token for hunting and fishing and try to get me to come along whenever I can. Pulling Chris back over to me, we snuggled back up. I could feel the warmth of the very wet Goodnite on my leg. Before I could fall back asleep Danny had gotten up and sneaked over to my bed. He pulled on my sleeve, bent over and whispered in his cute, lisping, little kid voice, "can I git in de bed wit oo?' I smiled at him and he crawled up next to me under the covers. My hand slowly slid over to his diaper so I could feel how wet it was. I never knew a diaper that started out so thin could bulge out to the size it was. Talk about 2 heavy wetting kids. I put my arm around Danny and lovingly ran my fingers through his hair before we all fell back asleep. I woke up at 9 and slipped between the 2 sleeping children and got up. I went to the bathroom in my boxers, carrying a towel with me. I shaved and washed my face. When I came back into the room the two brothers that had just been sleeping were playfully wrestling around on my bed. I quickly threw a shirt and jeans on and I jumped in there with them and tickled them till I knew they couldn't take anymore. My uncle (may he rest in peace) taught me the best way to tickle kids. Find the area between two ribs and just move the finger back and forth. At about 9:15, I heard the call. "BREAKFAST" my mom yelled up at us, and their eyes suddenly opened wide and they started running. I was on their heels. Chris and Danny were still in their wet diapers (or Goodnites in Chris' case) and night clothes, as was normal. In my family, people on vacation with nothing to do usually wouldn't bother getting changed out of their night clothes until around 11. We ran down the stairs to the living room where all the women were already eating. I noticed Scott and Andy talking to my mom. The kids made their good mornings and proceeded to gorge themselves. There is nothing like a good country breakfast. A platter full of eggs, 2 kinds of bacon, 3 kinds of sausage, a large omelet, grits, toast, jam, tea, coffee, hash browns, steak, gravy and of course home fries. Scott walked over to me and asked if I could do him a big favor. I said sure. He said that he and Andy had to go back home (a 7 hour drive) because Andy's sister was sick and they needed someone to help them with Thanksgiving. He had talked to my mom and she had agreed to let them leave their kids under my care until they came back on Saturday, since the kids really didn't like any of their other family besides my side. I smiled and said "sure. They were good kids, lots of fun and it would be a pleasure." We all ate until there was nothing left, and stuffed, Danny, Chris, Bryce, Taylor, Tom and I all made the journey from the dining room to the great room to enjoy some cartoons. Around 10, my Aunt Wanda walked in the room and announced that everyone was going to spend the day in Douglas (a town nearby with a lot of shops and malls). I was going to go play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends that day, and the plan was to take all the kids with them, including Danny and Chris. Chris took the opportunity for what it was (a chance to get someone to buy him a new toy) but Danny just whined that he didn't want to go. My aunt looked at him and sighed. She then cut me a glance. I said that it would be no problem to take him with me when I went out. I told Danny he could come with me today, if he didn't mind going over to my friend's house. He pretty much jumped for joy and I groaned at him jokingly and then proceeded to run over to him, and in one swift movement tossed him up in the air, flipped him upside down and held him against my chest with one hand, using the other one to tickle him between his ribs. Heath's, Mitch's and Toms wife came in that moment and picked up their kids to get them ready. Stacey wasn't far behind them to get justice. I tossed Danny on to the couch and planted myself next to him with a *fump*. We watched TV for about 15 more minutes. It was then my aunt walked back into the room and pointed at Chris, saying, "we are going in 15 minutes, you need to get ready." He just nodded and he headed up to my room. He came back down about 7 minutes later with some khaki pants and a shirt sloppily put on. I just grinned at the disheveled way he dressed himself. They got themselves together and packed into a few cars and drove off. The only people left were Scott, Andy, Danny and me. Andy gave Danny a big kiss and a big hug and said that they were going. Scott came over to me, slipped me a 100 dollar bill and whispered in my ear "that's for any expenses for the kids. Danny needs a new pack of Pampers." "Chris is out of Goodnites," I replied, and as I expected, he said, "just use some of Danny's Diapers. They fit him like they were made for him. Those Goodnites are too damn expensive. They are the exact same thing as those diapers, only they cost 10 dollars more a pack. I nodded in agreement. He then gave Danny a big hug, a kiss and a pat on the head and said, smiling, "have fun, you two. Stay out of trouble, you little diapered fiend." Danny giggled. Andy then rushed in and told me that I would need to give Danny a bath, he hadn't had one in a day and apologized for laying the responsibility on me. They hurried out to the car and drove off down the dirt road in a big cloud of dust. Danny and I were still watching TV at 11:00. It was then I noticed him squirming uncomfortably. I leaned over to him and whispered to him "do you need a change?" He grinned mischievously and blurted out, "I had to go poopoo and I didn wan to mish Gawfiewd." He then apologized "im sowwy". I rolled my eyes at him, knowing that he was supposed to use the toilet for that during the day. I said "it's okay, I really don't mind. Your parents aren't here, and as a kid, that entitles you to do what you want. The only rules you have to follow are mine. And you know what those are." I snickered. he said "yeh, I know youw wuwes" and giggled. He then made his face very solemn and in a mocking attempt to mimic my voice said "One: Dosh (his lisp makes him say T instead of St and as most kids his age pronounces J's as D's) is awways wight. Two: if Dosh is wong, see ruwe one. Fwee: do wha' oo wan' as wong as I' don' hurt nobodies." I just grinned at him. I flipped off the TV and said "Time to get ready". He protested, but I really didn't care, knowing that my friend Bruce needed to be picked up at noon if were going to make the beginning of the game. I lifted him up and carried him in my arms to the bathroom. I rushed over to my room, got the baby wipes and ran back to the bathroom. I closed the door, turned on the exhaust fan and helped him strip down to his diaper. Then I took that off, and jokingly grimaced, saying "ewwwwwwwwww". I had him stand up and I took the wipes and got him clean enough to get into the bath without his poop coming off and floating in the water. It was then I noticed he was starting to get a bit of a rash on his butt. I made a mental note to myself to pick up some Desitin when I was at the store buying his diapers. I sat him on the toilet and told him to try to go before his bath. While he was trying to do his business, I drew a bath. I've bathed many kids in my life, and found it simpler to just get in there with them, especially when they are young. Most kids his age tend to splash and get you wet anyway, so why not join them. I stripped down to my birthday suit. picked him up off the toilet and playfully dropped him in the tub. I then got in myself. I had him sit between my legs while I washed his back. I stood him up and washed his butt, groin, chest , neck, face, legs, arms and arms. I had him sit back down facing me and got out the baby shampoo and washed his hair. I then let the water drain and turned on the shower part. Danny rinsed off and started playing with the remaining water in the tub. I then took the liberty to wash myself. After we were both finished, we got out of the bath and I wrapped him in a towel and then wrapped one around myself. I led him by the hand back to my room. I told him to sit on the bed. I took off my towel, dried off, and got dressed. A pair of jeans, a Ralph Lauren shirt, underwear (of course :P) socks and my boots. I then put on my hat (its my lucky hat, I've had it since I can't remember and it only about 3 or 4 years ago started to fit me). Dressed, I walked over to Danny, picked him up and stood him in front of the changing mat and dried him off, making sure there was no left over water on his butt and little penis. He still had some suds between his crack and I went and got the wipes from the bathroom and made sure they were all washed away (soap and leave a rash on young skin too, you know). I laid him down on the changing mat and got out one of his diapers from the pack. I change all kids the way you change babies. Lift up their legs by the ankles, slide the diaper underneath, lower them and tape it up. I did Danny the same way. After getting the diaper under him, I sprinkled some powder on his penis and butt. I rubbed it in a bit, spread his legs, drew the diaper up between his legs and snugly fastened it. I always fasten diapers a little tight because I know that within 30 minutes, if you don't fasten it tight enough, it will get loose and leak, especially on older babies, like Danny. I had him lay there while I figured out what I wanted him to wear that day. He usually picked out his clothes, but since he was with me, he let me pick them out. I found a pair of brown corduroy overalls and got them out. I searched around for a onesie and found a nice white one. It is absolutely necessary for kids over 3 to wear onesies with their diapers. Without them, the diapers tend to droop, and kids just don't like that. I looked around for a long-sleeved shirt in his bag, and not finding one, I went over to Chris' bag. I found a smaller size red polo shirt and was satisfied, knowing that it would fit Danny. I grabbed the clothes in one hand, went over to Danny and stood him up. I pulled the onesie over his head and fastened it at the crotch. I then took the overalls and noticed that they had a Pooh bear patch embroidered on it. I just grinned to myself. I got him on his feet and led him over to the bed, where I sat down. I had him sit on my lap while pulling the overalls up his legs, then slid him onto his feet and pulled them the rest of the way up. I fastened the straps that kept the overalls up and then I reached over and picked up his shirt, and bunched it up lengthwise. I got both his arms in, unbuttoned the front buttons at the collar, and pulled it over his head. I gave him a little push away from me and he pulled the shirt down to his waist. I told him to go play downstairs while I packed his diaper bag. He rushed out of my room, down the stairs, and into the family room where he found a few Batman action figures and started playing. I got his empty diaper bag out of the suitcase and opened it. I found another onesie in his clothing bag, and along with a T-shirt and a pair of shorts, I packed it in there (You never know when a diaper is going to leak - always carry an extra change of clothing if you don't want the kid walking around in wet clothes). I found a pacifier in the bottom of the diaper bag and decided to leave it in there (most kids in my family didn't stop using their passy until they were about 5). I didn't bother packing any diapers, considering I was about to go buy some. I got the baby lotion and powder and stuffed them in the bag. I threw the strap over my shoulder and called out, "Okay, Lets go!" I drive a 94 mustang GT, 5.0 liter engine. Its Caution sign Yellow. I love it. I twin turbo charged it and got its compression down to 1:16, giving it about 410 hp. Yes, that 0-60 in about 3.7 seconds. VRooooooooooooM. I buckled Danny up in the back seat and headed to the local pharmacy. He asked how fast it could go and I showed him.... He was just roared wildly with laughter while I drove at 142 miles an hour down the long, strait, 2 lane highway towards town. I slowed down to about 45 as we got near town. About 5 minutes later, I turned into the parking lot of Rite Aid. I unbuckled him, and held his hand as we walked inside the store. The diaper was still tight on him and he waddled as he walked. It stopped crinkling and making him waddle as we got to the baby items isle. I got a Jumbo Pack of Pampers size 6 and a tube of Desitin for his rash and walked up to the counter. I handed the lady the 100, got my change and we were back out to the car. Danny insisted on my carrying him. Both him and his brother were very touchy feely kids, and liked to be held, hugged and snuggled with. I really didn't mind, in fact, I love kids like that. I carried him back to the car, buckled him up and threw the diapers and the Desitin in the back seat next to him. We drove off to my next stop: the package store (in other words, BEER store). I got 2 cases of Michelob light and a fifth of crown royal and headed off to pick up Bruce (I love fake ID's). When we got to Bruce's house, he was standing next to the highway waiting for me. He got in the car, and did a double take seeing the Diapers and Danny in the back seat. He eyed me, saying "erm, who is that?" I told him it was Danny, my cousin. He leaned over and whispered in my ear "why the hell do you have diapers in the back of your car". I replied "Danny is still in diapers, he hasn't quite gotten a hang of the 'don't wet and soil your pants idea." Bruce rolled his eyes and said "he's coming with us, isn't he." To that remark I replied "Oh, shut up, dipshit. He's a good kid and is no trouble. Besides, I got the beer and I ain't letting you guys have it if he isn't made welcome. "Oh, if that's the case..." said Bruce. I grinned and so did he as we drove over to Jason's.
