HELP ME
My mom was a sixth grade teacher, her name was Shannon Martin. Me and my brother Keegan. I was 3 and he was 3 we were fraternal twins. Me and Keegan had one thing in common we were both still in diapers because he was afraid of the can (toilet) and I just didn't want to use it. I thought if they were just going to change me it was easier that way. I was real lazy.
One time me and Keegan and my mom and her mom all went to Chicago. It was summer so it was warm and when I was in the stroller and she was carrying him and grandma was pushing the stroller and I got the "I gotta go" feeling. I tried to hold it because I didn't want to stop.
When we got to the train station to go back home I was still holding it so all good and she said "okay time to check your diapers". I was fine but Keegan wasn't. So she said "mom watch Josh while I go change Keegan". She said "okay" and leaned over and said "do you need to go Joshy?" I shook my head and then she picked me up out of the stroller and held me.
Then when my mom came back she said "Keegan's clean now, how was josh?". She said "like an angel, he was perfectly quiet Shannon, you have a great kid". She said "thanks mom". Then when we got home it was about 7 pm and she said "mom can you check Joshes diaper make sure it's clean, he hasn't gone all day".
Then she picked up Keegan and took him in the kitchen to get some food. Grandma took me to my room and laid me on her lap and sure enough I peed myself so she said "okay I'll go get your mommy and will get you in a nice clean diaper".
So she laid me on the changing table and then my mom came in and said "how's my baby doing?". She took off my pants and said "now hold still Joshy" and she put a binkie in my mouth. She always did that to me, she said it helped me calm down even though it didn't.
Then she took off the dirty diaper and got me a new LUVS diaper. She said they were the best. I didn't think so. When I was at daycare when they would change me with Huggies I liked those better.
So when she was done she picked me up and carried me into the living room and sat on the couch with me in her lap. Keegan was with grandma in the kitchen and we were watching TV.
We were watching some documentary about kids who stay in car seats until there 7 or 8 which I was upset because I hated car seats because of the way you couldn't move in them. But my mom loved the idea and said "you aren't getting out until you are 8 even if we meet the requirements of height and weight". Oh well I thought.
At that point it was about 8:30 pm and mom said "okay mom can you get Keegan dressed for bed and I'll take Josh?" So she took me in my room and took off my clothes except the diaper and she got me a nice red shirt and she said it was too hot for pants. So I just slept in a shirt and diaper. She said as long as I was in diapers I would be like a baby in a crib. Same with Keegan.
Thank god we didn't share a room. We had a big house so we each got are own room. When he slept he was loud and tossed and turned and would always call to me or mommy. So when she put me in the crib she got my binkie and said good night angel.
I asked her if she could tell me a story, she said yes. So she picked me up, carried me to the rocking chair and told me a story about her and her brother when they were little. About what they would do for fun and she told me about games they would play for long drives. It eventually put me to sleep.
But when she thought I was asleep she stopped and just rocked me back and forth. Then grandma came in and mom said "shhh he's sleeping" even though I wasn't. Grandma said "Keegans asleep" and they had some quiet talk. I was listening.
She said "Shannon do you think that you coddle them too much?" She said "maybe, but look at my baby" pointing at me saying "he's my life" and she ran her hand through my hair. I opened my eyes and she said "sorry honey, did I wake you?" I nodded and then she carried me to my crib and gently laid me down then I fell asleep.
The next day I woke up at 9. It was Sunday and mom came in and said "okay let's check that diaper". She said "okay come here and let's change that diaper". She laid me on the changing table, took off the dirty diaper, wiped and powdered and then put on a new one. She set me down then I walked to the living room where Keegan was.
I went over and and sat in the same chair as him. Mom came in and said "oh my god this is so cute" and she took a picture. Then she said "okay guys what do you want to do today?" He said he wanted to go to the pool. I said I wanted to go to the mini golf place. So she said "okay well I got a surprise". We went out back and she got us a new pool. It was big too.
Keegan ran and was about to jump in but mom grabbed him before he could. She told us "you are never under any circumstances to go in this without an adult present, got it?" I nodded and Keegan said "yeah, can I go in now?" She said "in a bit, we need to put on your swimming diaper".
So grandma grabbed me and mom grabbed him and said "we will put it on". So Keegan rushed in to put his on. I didn't, I walked. Mom put on Keegans and she said "I'm going in too so hold on a sec".
She did, she carried him and once again he almost jumped in but she put on his floaties and he had a little circular duck around his waist. My grandma put mine on. She said "your going to love swimming". I said "okay".
Once she put it on she carried me next to the pool and had me touch the water. It was warm and my mom said "don't forget to put on his floaties and little duckie". Instead she put on the floaties and got me a little blow up bed so I could just lay on that.
So she set me on it and I just relaxed on that until Keegan started kicking around splashing water on me. Then he tipped over the bed and I fell in the water. I didn't have on my floaties at the time oddly I could swim fine. I was treading water staying afloat but my mom, she freaked until she saw me. She said "when did you learn how to swim?" I said "just now".
Then I got back on the water bed and just laid there. Then she told Keegan to get on the bed so she could check his diaper. He was fine but she told us if we ever have to go potty to get out of the pool immediately as going potty in the pool will screw up the filter. She checked me and I was fine.
Then we got out for lunch. She made us burgers. They were delicious. Then Keegan wanted to get back in the pool but she said we had to wait like 2 hours. He whined and complained. I didn't mind, I just laid in the house with my diaper on and nothing else. Then mom had Keegan go in time out because he was complaining too much.
She said to me "why are you so quiet? Most 3 year olds are talkative". I said too lazy. She said "come here". I did and she picked me up and had me look out the window of our second story house. She said "isn't it beautiful?" Then she set me down and I went into the living room, put on a shirt and laid there.
Then I felt it coming so I ran to my mom, bent down like I was using the can and smiled. Then she looked at me and said "I think someone needs a new diaper". So she picked me up and laid me down on the changing table, inspected the outer diaper and said "mom could you get a new diaper for Josh he needs to be changed".
So grandma came in with the diaper and said "here Shannon". Then she changed me, carried me to the living room, sat down on the couch with me in her lap and put a binki in my mouth. Then she rocked me like a baby saying "you'll always be my baby Josh.... always". I smiled.
