2011

And the NRU Sprogs and Stompers are now up for pre-order at Tykables. 

Chapter 27 is now up. Once again any feedback is more than welcome and actively encouraged.    Chapter 27   Katie felt like she was being marched through the hotel. She kept her head down trying not to make eye contact with anyone. As she left the hotel reception and felt the evening air on her damp skin she jolted her head up to see her surroundings. Her mum was leading her out the hotel and into the Bulgarian streets.    “Mum!” She shouted “where are we going?”   “Well as you’re proved you definitely need your nappies and you’ll be in them for another two and a bit weeks i think its best we buy some more. I noticed some in Lidl the other morning that I hope fit you.” Sophie said calmly. If she was angry at Katie for her latest accident she didn’t let it show.    “But mum, I’m wet and messy, can’t you clean me up first?” Katie couldn’t believe she said those words, and almost like she was now use to being in this state.    “No, with you in this state then there can be no argument that you need the nappies I’m going to be buying for you. After we have brought the new supplies we will go back to the room and get you ready for bed and clean you up then.” Sophie gripped tighter to Katie’s hand as they crossed the road.   They entered Lidl and went straight to the aisle they had been in the previous day selecting a potty that Katie was no longer going to have a need for. The aisle was stocked with lots of different size nappies and pull ups, baby wipes and nappy sacks. Baby food and bottles, dummies and teething toys. As it was late the store was pretty empty but anyone who was there knew exactly why and who these purchases would be for.    Sophie picked up a pack of nappies. Katie glanced at the pack. There was a young boy, who looked about 3 or 4, sitting and leaning to the side wearing a white top with a nappy clearly on show. A big number 8 in a red circle joined by the xxl size with a number 18 in a drawn nappy next to the red circle indicating that there ware 18 nappies in the pack. She placed the pack under her arm and moved along to the baby accessories.    “Pick a pack of dummies.” She said matter of factly to Katie.   “But I don’t need a dummy. I’m not a baby!” Katie pleased with her mum.    “I didn’t say you were, though right now it doesn’t quite look that way.” Sophie said looking her daughter up and down.    “They keep you calm when I’m changing you. As I’ll be changing you a fair bit going forward we need more than one in case anything happens to the other one. Now pick a pack or I’ll pick one for you.” Sophie, whilst not shouting, was speaking in a firm tone and Katie just wanted to be out of her accident as quickly as she could be.   She started looking at the dummies on the shelf. They all came in packs of two and most had cartoon animals printed on them. Then out of the corner of her eye she glimpsed a bright pink colour. It was two pink dummies with a white button in the middle. One said little princess and the other had a cartoon drawn crown. She picked that package up and gave it to her mum.    “They’re cute” Sophie said as she took the dummies from her daughter. “Let’s pay for this and then well head back and get your little stinky but changed” she said as she lead the way to the checkout.    The young Bulgarian boy working behind the checkout didn’t say anything about the state Katie was in or the purchases the were making but Katie could swear she caught him smirking as Sophie paid for the nappies and dummies. They left the store and started walking back to the hotel. As they walked Sophie started to tell Katie what to expect for the rest of the holiday and beyond.   “Going forward you will wear what ever is chosen for you by whoever is in charge. No arguing. You will be in taped nappies and you will use them for all your toilet needs until I decide you’re ready to try pull ups again. That wont be till after the two and a bit weeks are finished but I may not grant you pull ups straight away. If you misbehave or continue to throw tantrums like you did tonight then that shows me you’re not grown up enough for potty training.    I will check you and change you when i think you need it. Do not tell me you tink you need a change or you’ve used your nappy as that means at least an hour until you get changed. I will not treat you like a baby or toddler however there may be situations where you will have to be. I need to sort out a babysitter for you as when we get back i have to go to work. I have a friend that works at a daycare, I may have to end you there but I’ll try not to.    These nappies look a bit thinner than the Tesco ones so you will probably need changing and checking more often during the day. We will keep the Tesco ones for night but at least you’ll have a cute design to wear during the day.” Sophie winked at Katie at that comment. Did she know about the conversation she had with peter the other day about not liking the plain design of the Tesco nappies?   “Ok mum” was all Katie could reply. She looked down at her shorts, stained dark by her urine, and feeling the mess in the back of knickers and felt like she couldn’t argue with any of the rules her mum was implementing. Then she remembered that her mum thought she had an idea something may happen tonight.   “Mum” she started talking in an inquisitive tone “at dinner you said you had an idea something would happen. Is this what you thought might happen? And why?”   “Not quite this but i did think you had a lot of dairy tonight and it might upset your stomach. I did think or a least hope that you would have made it to the toilet or use your potty for it though. I didn’t want it in your pull up or your knickers. Why didn’t you ask to use your potty if you were struggling to hold it when the toilets were occupied?” Sophie asked.   Katie froze, it didn’t even cross her mind to use the potty. It would have been mortifying to use it but it would have been better than being put back in nappies. Her head dropped. Another mistake a toddler wouldn’t have made.    Sophie took Katie’s silence as acceptance of the new rules. They were soon back in the hotel and back in the room.   “Stand in the shower and I’ll undress you.” Sophie instructed her daughter.   Katie silently, and with her head bowed, took herself off to the bathroom and stood in the shower cubicle. Sophie entered the bathroom carrying a pack of nappy sacks and Katie’s new pink princess dummy. She went to the bathroom sink and ran the hot water over the nib on her dummy in an attempt to sterilise it before turning to look at Katie. She held out the dummy for Katie and obediently Katie open her mouth and let her mum place the infantile device in her mouth before rhythmically suckling away on it. Katie was defeated and had no arguments that she didn’t deserve or even need this.   Katie followed her mums instructions to the letter. Starting by lifting her arms so she could slip her T-shirt off her. The Sophie removed Katie’s shorts revealing the heavily stained and messed Disney princess knickers. They were once pristine white, now stained yellow from urine at the front and brown from the mess that Katie made in the rear. Tears silently fell from her eyes as she realised just how bad the accident was and the implications it would have going forward.   Sophie placed the shirt and shorts in a nappy sack and tied it up before placing it with the other laundry she needed to do before traveling home. She pulled down the knickers and Katie looked down to see the state they were in. There wasn’t a single bit of cotton that wasn’t darkened by urine or covered in a layer of her own mess.   “WOW” Sophie said as she to saw the state of them. “Well at least yo can’t deny you need your nappies now. I’ll just throw these away. Not worth trying to save them.” And with that she placed them carefully in a nappy sack to make sure none of her daughter poo transferred onto her hands, and placed them in the bin next to the toilet.   Sophie started running the water and once it got to a nice warm temperature started washing her daughter up. It took a long time for the water to start running clear from around Katie’s bottom, indicating that the mess was no all removed. Sophie took time to lovingly and carefully wash the rest of her daughter including her hair. While the situation was not ideal Katie quite liked her mum when she was being this diligent and loving and she sucked rather happily on her dummy as the warm water washed over her.   Soon Sophie stopped the water flow and held out a towel for Katie to step into. Katie stepped out the shower and Sophie wrapped the towel round her and gave her a big hug and a kiss on top of her wet head. Sophie let go of her daughter and lead her into her bedroom. Sophie removed the towel and placed it on the bed.   “Lay down on the towel for me sweetheart and I’ll get you all ready for bed.”   Katie did as she was told. As she lay down on the towel her mum wrapped her up moving the edges of the towel into the centre of her body and the gently massaging her to make sure she was all dry. She unwrapped her daughter from the cocoon of her now wet towel, removing it from underneath her body and balling it up on the floor. She left Katie laying on her bead and went over to the draws to select some nightware for Katie.   She returned holding one of Katie’s night time nappies, A white Tesco Junior Plus nappy, and a pastel pink nightie with a cartoonish ballerina drawn on the bottom left corner with grey stars dotted around her. Katie looked at the nightie and rolled her eyes.   “You can’t say these are for babies as this is actually your size look” Sophie said as she showed Katie the label indicating that it was for ages 11 to 12. Despite what the label said it still looked very much in the character of toddler designed clothes.   Sophie started opening up the fresh nappy and stretched it out and got rid of any folds in the padding making sure it would work to its full potential.    “Bottom up” she cooed at her daughter. Again Katie did not hesitate to follow her mums instructions and allowed her to slip the nappy under her bottom. After a quick repositioning of the nappy Sophie let the front hang down while she applied powder and cream to her daughter. Once she was happy her skin was all protected from what Katie’s body was going to throw at it over night she pulled the front up and tapped the nappy shut. Katie quickly patted the nappy to make sure she was happy with it.    Sophie then asked Katie to sit up and she slipped the nightie on over her head. The hem fell to just bone Katie’s knees and completely hid the nappy from sight. That was until she moved and the rustling of the nappy was almost deafening.    “Sit at the end of your bed and let me brush your hair, make sure it doesn’t get tangled and dries nice and straight.” Sophie told Katie.    Katie shuffled to the end of the bed and her mum positioned herself behind Katie and started brushing her daughter’s hair.   “Do you understand what this means going forward darling?” Sophie asked. Katie wasn’t sure where her mum was going with this so looked round with a confused look on her face.   “Well, when we return home there is only three weeks left of the summer holidays until you start secondary school. For the first two of them you will be in nappies. To not be wearing any protection at all you have to e clean and dry for a full week. That means when we start potty training again you will need the perfect week straight away to avoid starting school with either a pull up or a nappy.”   “I am surprised at this as I thought the accident at the park was just a one off but you seem to have had more accidents than success over the summer holidays. Let’s hope for the perfect week to end the holidays and you can e back in knickers again for school. However I wont let you embarrass yourself at school by letting you wear knickers when you’re not ready to.” Sophie said as she finished brushing Katie’s hair.   “Time for bed little one” Sophie said as she opened up the covers for Katie to crawl in. Her nappy making a loud rustle as she did so. “Sweet dreams little one.” Sophie kissed Katie good night and left her alone in bed still suckling away on her princess dummy.

I'm craving pizza.   Is that what I'm going to have?  Probably not.  That means I have to go across the county to go get it. From the shop I prefer anyway - dominoes/papa johns/etc. are mostly garbage as far as I'm concerned.   They are running  a special for the holiday weekend though -- might be worth it.
