Ishigreensa Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 MIke took Erylin right to the bathroom and started to undress her so he could bathe her. "How about you remind daddy to put you in a diaper tonight so we can avoid this problem," he said to her lightly. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The little girl sighed. "Okay daddy, I will," she said reluctantly before getting in the tub. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 He started to wash her body. "From tonight, you can sleep in the room with your sister on the lower bunk. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Erylin smiled. "Really? I don't gotta sleep in the baby bed any more? Yes!" Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Mike laughed and hugged his little girl. "That's right, baby! Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Emma and Kelly got everything ready, but when no one else came down Emma went upstairs to investigate. She peeked in the bathroom and saw Mike with the baby, then continued on to the 3 girls' room. "Honey, what's wrong?" she asked when she opened the door and found Kim crying. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 "We waited here in the room like good girls for you to come and get us," Heidi explained. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 "Okay, okay, calm down. I'm not mad, and no one is being punished. But for the record, you don't have to stay in here until we come and get you. You're free to leave the room when you wake up...especially if you need to use the toilet." Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Heidi looked up at her. "Does daddy say the same thing?" Kim looked up at her as if she didn't believe she wasn't in trouble or that they could get up when they woke up. Cassie ran over and hugged her. "I like you already," she said. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 "Yes, he says the same thing. We would both much rather you get up and use the toilet than have an accident if it can be prevented. But I do have to ask that if you wake up and it's still dark, that you just use the toilet and go back to bed, or at least play very quietly in your room so you don't wake everyone else up. Deal?"

Ishigreensa Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Heidi nodded. Kim nodded, too. Cassie looked down. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 "Yes, of course you can. Might as well get it over with before you come down to eat. Heidi, can you handle this? I really need to start making breakfast." Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 "Yeah, I'll take Kim into the bathroom first since she's the messiest," Heidi said. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 "You're no trouble at all, honey, really. I just wish you'd come to get me when you woke up instead of waiting in here. If I'd known you all needed to be cleaned up I wouldn't have started breakfast. Now you just run along and get cleaned up. I'll put out some clothes for you all before I go downstairs." Emma started going through the things they'd gotten out for the younger ones and picked out an outfit for each of them, which she laid out on the dresser. She was about to go to her room to see if she had anything that might fit Heidi when Mike came in. "Now dear, the social worker said she wets the bed so I don't know why you're so surprised. A lot of kids her age still wet the bed, and I'm sure everything she's been through only makes it worse. We'll make an appointment with the pediatrician to make sure there isn't anything more serious going on but just be patient until then, okay?" Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Mike shook his head. "Fine. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 "Age has nothing to do with it. Some kids' bodies just develop slower, or their brains don't get the signal that they have to go. Don't worry about it. We'll get her some good diapers for bed and it won't be a problem." Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Mike sighed. He really thought it would be a bigger issue if or when the three kids started school. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 "Daddy, we're making blueberry pancakes," Kelly said as she sat on a stool by the counter. They had a big bowl of batter all ready to go, she was just waiting for Emma to come back. Emma went to her room and found a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt that were a bit small on her, thinking they might be okay for Heidi until they got her some new clothes. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Mike smiled and patted Kelly's head. "So you are! Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Kelly rolled her eyes but slipped off the stool. "Come on," she said as she grabbed the girl's hand and dragged her along. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 "I'm sorry," Cassie said. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Kelly turned to look at Cassie and stopped in her tracks when she saw the girl tearing up. She put one hand on her hip and held the other up as if to say "stop." "Okay, enough with the crying," she ordered, remembering the girl sniffling the night before. "I'm just showing you the bathroom. There's nothing to cry about." Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 "You hate me," she said. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 "My daddy told me to take her to his bathroom to take a bath, an' she's cryin' about it," Kelly said, once again rolling her eyes. "I do Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Heidi got in front of her sister. "What happened, honey?" "She thinks I'm stupid and I just want to be her friend, but she never wets the bed or anything, so she thinks I'm stupid and I'm just a baby." "Did you call you one?" "No, but when her dad told her to take me to the bathroom, she rolled her eyes and acted like she didn't want to at all. Link to comment
