Chapter One
Stacy Wilson is a single mother raising a 10 year old boy. Her husband Carl Wilson died of Cancer leaving Stacy to raise her then 8 year old son Dale by herself. It was a tragic situation to deal with as most of us know someone who died of cancer.
For the 2 years following Carl’s death Stacy lived on savings and a part time job. She also had to be a good mother for her son Dale. After dad’s death Dale became withdrawn at first and now at age 10 is a much happier boy.
Stacy has to work full time to pay the bills and keep her home. She received a promotion that requires working overtime June thru August. This will give her a chance to rebuild her savings. Dale’s problem is that mom wants to send him to her sisters for the summer. Stacy can’t afford to pay a babysitter for long hours.
Dale likes Aunt Sue but don’t want to stay with her for 3 whole months. “What will I do over there?” Dale asked, “Aunt Sue will be busy all the time running her home Daycare Center.” “I don’t know yet,” mom replied, “but I am sure you will be well taken care of.”
Stacy calls her sister Sue to discuss the situation and needs her help desperately. “I understand and will be glad to help,” replies Sue, “the problem is the Daycare Center is busy over the summer.” Sue has even added rooms to her house so she could keep young children overnight.
Sue has 1 woman who works night shift and stays overnight. Her name is Nancy and there are 2 additional females who work from 8 am to 5 pm. That’s when the number of children attending is usually 6 to 8. Only 2 children stay overnight, they are Sally age 6 and Stevie age 8.
All the other children are much younger, between 2 and 4 years old. The daytime help is Mary and Grace, the women like to be referred to as Nannies. Sue has a policy where any child dropped off must be in cloth diapers and rubber pants. At that age many still wet their pants or wet at naptime. The 2 children who stay overnight are both bedwetters. Sue insists they are no different than anyone else and are diapered day and night at ages 6 and 8.
Sue does not want to deal with peed clothing, wet beds, wet furniture, and the additional work this would make for her and the staff. “If Dale stays here for the summer,” Sue informed Stacy, “then he will have to be treated like the rest of the children.” “That will mean diapers and rubber pants day and night for Dale,” Sue continued, “and I know he won’t like it.”
“I have to let you take Dale for the summer,” Stacy replied, “he will be just like the other children if you insist.” “After all he is just 10 and you have a 6 and 8 year old in diapers,” Stacy continued, “I will break it to him gently.”
Mom knows Dale is going to be upset but she has no choice, Dale is going to Aunt Sue’s for the summer. I will order his diapers online, Stacy decides, he is a small boy about 80 lbs. and 4’ 6” tall. Stacy orders a dozen LeakMaster cloth nighttime prefold diapers and 6 pairs of LeakMaster plastic pants in the appropriate youth size. She also orders a dozen locking diaper pins, baby powder, and diaper rash cream.
A few days go by and Stacy’s package is delivered, now all she has to do is break the news to Dale. “I have to send you to Aunt Sues for the summer son,” mom says, “please promise to go and behave because this is important to mommy.”
“I don’t want to go mom, there will be nothing to do,” Dale replies, “but I will go if I have to and mind Aunt Sue.” Mom is pleased by her sons agreeing to go to Aunt Sue’s for the summer. Now she has to tell him the rest of the story and show him his package. Will Dale be such a good boy about having to go back into diapers?
“There is more to tell you,” mom says, “Aunt Sue will only take you if you are considered the same as the other children.” “That’s because she is so busy running the Daycare Center,” mom continues, “and there is other children up to 8 years old there too.” Mom tells Dale to mind and obey all the staff.
Dale agrees and at least will have some kids to play with. Mom tells Dale that they must leave in the morning and get to Aunt Sue’s by noon. “One last thing to tell you,” mom says, “Sue requires all children to arrive in diapers and plastic pants, then stay in diapers day and night.”
“You’ve got to be kidding!” Dale yelled, “I have not wet my pants or the bed since I was 5.” “I’m not going back in diapers for the summer,” Dale objected, “I am 10 years old.” Mom reminds Dale of his promise to go and mind Aunt Sue, he runs out of the room upset.
“Now you are acting like a baby, you do belong in diapers” mom yells, “go to your room and wait for a spanking.” Dale realizes he is in trouble and goes to his room. Not only will he spend the summer in diapers, but he is about to get a spanking.
Mom comes in with a box and sets it on his dresser. She has Dale remove his shoes, socks, and pants then mom sits on his bed. “I want you over my knee now!” mom demands, “then you become the baby you’re acting like.” Dale goes to mom and she lifts him up and over her knee. “Let this be a reminder to behave,” mom said, “once at the Daycare Center, Aunt Sue or any nanny can spank you and change your diapers.”
Mom was hoping to avoid this, but it’s best Dale understands now, to behave at Aunt Sue’s. Mom hand spanks his bottom in his briefs and t-shirt. “You won’t need briefs anymore,” mom insists, “you are going back in diapers after your spanking.” Mom continues the spanking until Dale is kicking and crying. Then she stops after his bottom is reddened and he agrees to do as he is told.
“Lay on the bed son,” Stacy said, “mom has your diapers and plastic panties washed and ready to wear.” Dale can’t believe the stuff mom is taking from the box. Real thick baby diapers and plastic panties in his size. Mom angel wing folds a prefold diaper after removing Dale's briefs and places it under his red butt.
Next she applies baby powder while Dale sheds a few more tears. Mom pulls the diaper up between his legs and pins it on tightly with 4 locking diaper pins. Next she puts his feet in the milky white plastic panties, then pulls them up his legs and over his diaper, which is 10 layers thick in the middle. “You are a big baby to diaper,” mom says, “these are very absorbent and the plastic panties will prevent any leaks.”
Dale cries a little more realizing they have not even left yet and he is back in diapers. It is going to be a very embarrassing summer for him. It’s just about supper time and mom fixes dinner while Dale watches TV. Mom already has him in his pajama’s for an early 7 pm bedtime for the naughty boy.
After dinner mom packs Dale’s clothes, leaving his underwear behind. She picks stuff that will go over his diapers. She packs plenty of his shorts and t-shirts, loose fitting pants, pajama’s, etc. Dale wants the diapers off, he has to pee. “Use your diapers son,” mom says, “that’s what you will be doing for 3 months.”
At 7 pm mom lowers Dales pajama’s and changes his wet diapers for the first time in 5 years. She cleans and rediapers him without complaint, Dale knows he is just a child and has no choice about this. He also has a sore red behind from his hand spanking. He is put to bed early, it is 7 pm.
Dale’s whole life is changed and all he can do is go along with it. He pees and poops his diapers overnight. At 7am mom runs a warm bath for herself and gets dressed. Then she takes Dale in for a bath and diapers him for the trip and his arrival at Aunt Sue’s Daycare Center. They have a quick breakfast of cereal.
Mom takes his luggage to the car along with his box of diapering supplies. Dale is embarrassed walking to the car, the cloth diapers are so thick they show under his shorts. He don’t want any of his friends seeing him. He figures at least at Aunt Sue’s his friends won’t know he is back in diapers. The Minivan is loaded and the 4 hour trip begins at 8 am.
Back at the Daycare Center, Sue has prepared for Dales’ arrival. She instructed all staff members that he is no different than any other child. He can be spanked for misbehaving and will wear the required diapers and plastic panties, even if he is 10 years old. The ladies are busy because there is 8 children here today.
Chapter Two
The minivan pulls up to Aunt Sue’s house and Daycare Center at noon, right on schedule. Stacy and her boy Dale knock at the front door of the large, single story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. Aunt Sue answers and hugs her sister Stacy and Dale.
“You are just in time for lunch,” Aunt Sue says, “and I see Dale is already in diapers and plastic panties, just like the other children.” Aunt Sue tells Dale what a good boy he is for cooperating. Stacy let her know it took a hand spanking to convince him. Dale is now blushing beet red as they enter the big Daycare Center.
“You are my biggest child here Dale,” Aunt Sue said, “I expect you to behave and assist with entertaining the other children sometimes.” She lets Dale know he can earn a $5 a week allowance, just for helping out occasionally. “You can read them stories, play games, and stuff like that,” Aunt Sue continues.
Mary, one of the assistants, picks up Dale and carries him to the kitchen with 8 other children. Six are between 2 and 4 and then there is Stevie 8 and Sally 6. Mary puts Dale in a high chair, just like the others. She slips the tray in front of him and he joins the others eating beans and hot dogs, baby food for toddlers.
“You have to wear diapers too,” said Stevie, “they make me wear them all the time and I’m a big boy.” Sally agrees and says she is in diapers day and night too. “I am a big boy too,” said Dale, “but mom says I have to obey the Daycare Center rules like any other child.” Dale says he don’t like wearing diapers again.
“You will get used to it honey,” Aunt Sue says, “you will be just fine in diapers.” Then Stacy and Sue take lunch to the dining room and talk about things. Stacy is so happy about Sue’s taking care of Dale, now she can concentrate on her new job promotion and work overtime to earn a lot of money. Since it is Saturday, Stacy will spend the night and drive back home tomorrow.
Surprisingly after lunch Dale is already reading a story to the children before their naptime. They seem to like him more since he is diapered just like them, even though he is much older than 6 of them. “I expect you to take naps again too,” mom said, “that’s what the other children do.” “I don’t need any naps,” Dale complained, “yes mamm, I will do as I am told.”
Now it’s nap time, 2 00 pm, thick mats are laid on the nursery room floor to sleep on. Clean diapers are put on anyone who needs it. Dale does, he has not been changed since 8 am this morning. Mary cleans Dale and changes his diapers. Grace takes care of Stevie and Sally. Aunt Sue diaper changes the younger ones.
The lights are dimmed and it is quiet time, the children are required to rest. Dale is shy about the stranger seeing him undressed and changing his diapers. I can’t believe this, the young boy is thinking, as he drifts off to sleep in a nursery.
Mary and Grace sit on recliners and watch over the children. Stacy and Sue talk about Dale’s sleeping arrangements. “I have one bedroom,” said Sue, “Nancy has one too, since she lives here in order to work night shift.” Sue explains there is 2 bedrooms left, each has two cribs, dresser, and changing table. “One bedroom is for boys,” Sue goes on, “the other is for girls.”
Dale will have to sleep in a crib in the room with Stevie. Stacy can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room. “The children will all be picked up between 4 and 5 pm,” Sue said, “leaving Stevie, Sally, and now Dale to stay overnight.” Stevie and Sally usually go home on weekends, but this weekend their parents are busy.
“I will have some free time with Dale next weekend,” Sue says, “I will find some fun things for him to do.” Naptime is over and slowly 6 children are picked up by their parents. Mary and Grace go home and Nancy starts work at 6 pm, she must watch the remaining kids and get them ready for bed. Nancy stays up working till 2 am and then she can get some sleep.
Dinner is served then Nancy bathes the children and prepares them for bedtime. It is decided Dale will go to bed the same time as Stevie and Sally, at 8 pm. He was staying up as late as 10 pm on non school nights and hoping to do the same all summer. Dale complains about the early bedtime, he is not 6 years old.
“Sorry honey when Stevie and Sally are here you will go the bed with them,” Aunt Sue responds, “next weekend and most of the ones coming up, I will let you stay up till 10 pm.” “Yes mamm I’ll be looking forward to the weekends,” Dale says happily. Then Nancy takes him and Stevie to their bedroom. The first thing Dale notices is the 2 cribs. “Where is my bed?” asks Dale, “I only see 2 baby cribs.” It is explained to Dale that he is back in diapers and will have to sleep in a crib.
Dale and Stevie get diaper changed by Nanny Nancy, then she picks them up and places them in their cribs. The sides are raised and locked so the children don’t get up at night. Dales mom comes in and kisses him goodnight, while Nancy goes and puts Sally in clean diapers. Then she picks Sally up and places her in one of the cribs in the girls bedroom.
Now Stacy and her sister Sue have plenty of time to visit and watch a movie. Nancy does some clean up, also part of her job. Around midnight the adults go to bed, except Nancy who stays up till 2 am. She puts clean diapers on the kids one last time before morning and goes to bed herself.
An early breakfast is served at 7 am, the kids are diaper changed before eating. Then by 8 am the Daycare Center is full with the 6 toddlers coming back again on Sunday, along with Mary and Grace. Stacy hugs, kisses, and says goodbye to her son Dale. She has the long drive home and must prepare for working long hours all summer. “Goodbye mommy,” Dale says, “I will be good for you and Aunt Sue.”
Soon Dale is surrounded by a bunch of toddlers, all of them wanting to sit next to him. They play games, Stevie and Sally join in on the fun. Dale is starting to like all the attention, but still not too happy about being treated like a baby in diapers all the time.
“Let’s keep the noise down and behave children,” hollers Mary, “if not you will be put in “time out.” “Then if you are naughty again, you will get your bottom spanked.” Of course the spankings are not harsh, but still enough of a deterrent. “Me no want spanking,” said Sally, “not in front of all the other children.”
So the kids calmed down and played quieter until it is lunch time again. Everyone is put in high chairs in the kitchen and given burgers and fries. Except the toddlers who are spoon fed baby food. By time lunch is over everyone needs clean diapers. The diaper pail is filling up and the laundry is getting used to wash and dry cloth diapers and plastic panties.
The afternoon is spent with Dale reading a story again, he will earn his allowance. Afterward it is naptime, another diaper change, and 6 children go home by 5 pm. Then the help goes home again. For the rest of the day and night it’s just the 3 older kids. Now you have a good idea of a typical day at the Daycare Center.
Chapter Three
Today is Monday and the Daycare Center is full again. The day goes by as usual and Dale helps out to earn his allowance. He has been in back in diapers for 4 days now. He is starting to get used to this and becoming more babyish.
The week goes by without anything unusual happening. All the children are well taken care of by Sue and staff. Today is Friday and all the children go home by 5 pm, including the overnight ones. This weekend there will only be 4 toddlers during the day and no overnight kids. Sue and Nancy will be the only adults on the job. Dale will continue to be watched the same as any other child who stays here.
On Saturday the Daycare Center has 4 toddlers and Dale. “Yippee, tonight I can stay up till 10 pm and watch TV,” Dale yells. “Yes you can stay up,” Aunt Sue says, “here is your $5 allowance for helping all week.” Dale reads a story to the children before they all take naps. Then the kids are rested and picked up by 5 pm.
Nancy is not needed to work nights this weekend. Aunt Sue will take care of Dale tonight. “How would you like to go out for dinner?” asks Aunt Sue, “I think it would be nice to get away from the house.” “Sure, I would like that,” Dale says, “How about a steak dinner.” Dale gets what he wants, a Steakhouse Restaurant is only 5 miles away.
They arrive in Sue’s Honda Accord and go inside, Dale likes the sporty car. They enjoy a steak dinner and chocolate cake with ice cream. The waitress watched them come in and noticed Dale’s diapers. “We have a family restroom for diaper changes,” she says. People hear this and Dale is embarrassed by the comment.
After dinner they go for a walk in the park and then go home. Once home Aunt Sue fills Dale a bubble bath, with some scented soap. Dale’s clothes and diapers are removed and he is placed in the tub. “It smells like a girls bubble bath to me,” Dale objects. “Relax honey it’s the only bubble soap I have,” replies Aunt Sue.
Dale is washed by Aunt Sue tonight and his hair is washed and combed. “Stacy said you need a haircut,” Aunt Sue remarked, “I like it fine a little long.” Dale is left to play in the tub for a while. Sue goes to her bedroom and takes a box out of the closet. She unpacks little girl clothes she used to wear in Elementary School. She picks out clothes that will fit little Dale perfectly.
A pink party dress, white tights, pink lacy socks, her white training bra, and a yellow short nightgown with puffy sleeves. She used to wet the bed so she finds white with pink lace plastic rumba panties, from when she wet the bed. This stuff is all little girlish and she plans on Dale’s agreeing to play dress up.
Aunt Sue returns to the bathroom and lifts Dale out of the tub, she combs his hair again and dries him off. “Aunt Sue wants to play a game,” she tells Dale, “will you be a good boy and go along with it.” “Sure I can play a game with you,” Dale says, “what are we going to do.”
Wrapped in just a towel Aunt Jane takes him to his bedroom and lays him on the diaper changing table. “We are going to play dress up honey,” Aunt Sue says, “let’s get you diapered first.” A thick prefold is placed under Dales butt and baby powder is used. Aunt Sue pins the prefold on tightly with 4 diaper pins.
Next to Dale’s surprise, she picks up the little girls plastic rumba panties. She quickly slips his feet in them and pulls them up over his diapers. “What are you doing!” yells Dale, “those are for little girls.” “You are my little girl tonight,” Aunt Sue explains, “I said we are playing dress up.” Dale don’t like this idea at all.
Aunt Sue grabbed the white tights and slipped his feet in them. “Oh no, you’re not doing this to me,” Dale yelled. “You lie still and behave,” Aunt Sue ordered, “you agreed to play dress up and you will get a spanking if you don’t.” Dale sat on the edge of the diaper table as the girls tights are pulled up his legs and over the plastic rumba panties. “Isn’t that cute, I can still see the rows of pink lace,” Aunt Sue told him.
As she fastened the training bra on Dale he just about died of embarrassment. Aunt Sue slipped the pink lacy socks on his feet. Then she took a curling iron and gave him a curly girls short hair style. His blond hair goes down to his collar. A few tears ran down his cheek when Aunt Sue pulled out the pink party dress and put it over his head. It was pink, lacy, and short with puffy short sleeves.
“You tricked me,” Dale said, as Aunt Sue wiped a few tears away, “I did not know you would make me a baby girl.” Just a little lipstick and blush is applied and we have a sissybaby girl now. “It’s ok honey,” said Aunt Sue, “you look just like a little girl now.” In front of a mirror Dale gasped at how much he looked like a girl.
His Mary Jane shoes are put on. “Go to the living room Dale and wait for me with Nanny Nancy,” mom insisted. “I must get dressed up in a party dress too.” Dale walked into the living room and found Nancy dressed up in a party dress. “Oh my, you are a cute little girl,” said Nancy, “I think tonight we will call you Daisy.”
Aunt Sue comes in dressed up and explains things. “Nancy has a little sister who is turning 13,” Aunt Sue says, “she wants to go to her birthday party tonight from 8 to 10 pm.” “Since Nancy don’t have a car, I will take her and we are going to stay for the party,” Aunt Sue continues, “but only girls are invited and that is why I tricked you into playing dress up.” “No one will be able to tell you are not a girl, so just go along with things,” says Aunt Sue, “just behave and act like a girl.”
Dale blushes badly as they go outside and get in the Honda. When they arrive at Lisa’s 13th birthday party, Daisy is introduced to the girls. They are all dressed up and between 10 and 13 years old. Daisy takes a seat forgetting to cross her legs. “Look mommy, Daisy is wearing diapers under her dress,” Lisa yells. A few other girls notice and begin laughing and calling her Baby Daisy.
“My little niece wets her panties,” said Aunt Sue, “so she is wearing diapers and plastic panties.” Daisy hangs her head in shame as she is the only one in diapers. Then Daisy just ignores it all and joins in the party, she does not want anyone finding out she is a boy. First they play with dolls, then gifts are exchanged, and everyone has cake and ice cream. This is the second dessert tonight for Dale.
After the party Sue and Nancy are proud of Daisy for being good. Lucky for him they did not change his wet diapers at the party, it is done as soon as they get home. Then Dale is dressed for bed in the yellow night gown with puffy sleeves and the white plastic rumba panties. He gets to keep the training bra on.
“The nightgown will make it easy to change your diapers,” Aunt Sue said, “and you get to watch 1 hour of TV till 11 pm.” Dale is tired but won’t admit it, he goes and turns on TV and sits on the couch. Aunt Sue came in with a baby bottle of warm milk. She puts Dale in her lap and bottle feds him. Surprisingly he just takes the bottle and nurses on it. Then he drifts off to sleep watching Heidi on TV.
Nancy takes a picture, Dale’s mom Stacy has got to see this. She also took a few pictures of Dale at the party in his little girls outfit. He don’t even know about it.
Sunday morning Dale wakes up in his crib. He hears the sound of children since it is 9 am and Aunt Sue let him sleep late. The 4 toddlers are back on Sunday. Aunt Sue picks Dale up out of the crib in his yellow nightgown and rumba panties. Dale is glad it is her and not Mary or Grace seeing him as a sissybaby. Aunt Sue undresses Dale and changes his wet diapers. Then he is sent to the nursery as a big baby boy again.
Dale is well rested and energetic and plays with the 4 children. He is well liked by the toddler kids. Today lunch is soup, sandwiches, and baby food for the toddlers. Naptime comes quickly and Dale rests with the others. Soon it is just him, Nancy, and Sue, as the toddlers get picked up by their parents. The 3 of them go to church in the evening and have supper out.
At home Dale gets a scented bubble bath again and is back in diapers, plastic rumba panties, training bra, and his yellow nightgown. “What’s the big idea putting me in girls stuff again,” complained Dale, “I can sleep in my pajamas.”
“Just for one more night honey,” Aunt Sue said, “It’s only 8 pm, as soon as I curl you hair we can all watch TV.” Aunt Sue noticed right from the start how much better Dale behaved when he arrived in cloth diapers and rubber panties. She thinks he is even sweeter in his sissybaby girls night clothes.
Aunt Sue, Nancy, and Dale sit on the couch and watch TV. Tonight before bed he gets another bottle of warm milk. Nancy decides she will feed him and just picks Dale up, puts him on her lap, and bottle feeds him. Then he is put to bed in clean diapers at 10 pm as promised. “May I have a pacifier?” Dale asks, “the others kids all have one.”
The following week goes by about the same as the previous one. Daycare Center has 6 toddlers a day, Stevie and Sally are back day and night except the weekend. Dale is very good and earns another $5 allowance. Dale is also not embarrassed by being made to wear girls clothes again. Dale likes his pacifier and it is tied to a long ribbon around his neck so he can use it.
Back at home Stacy’s job is working out well, she works long hours then can go home and relax for the night. Stacy misses her son Dale and calls on weekends. “I am proud of you son for being so good for Aunt Sue,” mom tells him.
There is more to add and finish this long story. Baby Butch
