Chapter 1 New House

They had been driving forever. At least that is how it felt to 8 year old Matt Keeth. Matt's 4 year old brother Cameron was passed out in his car seat next to him. Matt was in a booster seat. He was sick of playing with his Nintendo Switch and now resorted to staring out the window at the passing foliage. His mom decided it was best for them to leave their old lives behind them. His dad had passed away recently in an accident. Thinking about it made tears start to trickle down his face again. She took the money she had collected from his life insurance and bought them a new house out in the country. It wasn't exactly how Matt pictured the country to look. There were large fields of course and some farms here and there, but still they passed through normal looking neighborhoods. The only real difference as far as he could tell from the suburbs were the houses were a little farther apart and had bigger yards.

 

Mrs Keeth looked back through the rearview mirror and saw Matt staring out the window at the passing houses with tears running down his face. She knew he was probably thinking about his dad. The past few days had been rough for him. She felt bad for up and moving him away from the few friends he had, but felt it would be best in the long run. He was a shy kid. She felt that most of his shyness and insecurity came from how he looked. He was small for his size. About the same size as Cam, maybe even slightly smaller. Realistically they both should be in car seats, but she had always tried to make the differences between the boys distinct for Matt's sake. She may have even pushed too hard in her pursuit in trying to make Matt feel older. It had been hard at times to treat him as the older brother with him being the same size as Cam. Cameron was also a very mature boy for his age. He was already completely potty trained during the day and at night. Matt on the other hand still to this day had occasional night time accidents. They seemed to be happening more and more lately. She knew this was partially from him losing his father and also from the anxiety of moving. This past week as they had been packing up the house he had wet the bed three out of the seven days. It use to be only once a month, and then it progressed to being about once a week, and now it happens multiple times a week.

 

Mrs Keeth's thoughts were interrupted by her youngest waking up stretching asking her while yawning, "How much longer?"

 

"Almost there sweety. How did you sleep?"

 

"Good"

 

"Is your pull up dry?" She asked.

 

"Yes" he said in an annoyed way. She knew that the pull up was probably unnecessary for him. He hadn't wet himself in his sleep for months now.

 

"What about you Matt?" She asked seeing he was still transfixed by the passing houses.

 

"What?" he said as he was pulled out of his head.

 

"Is your pull up still dry?" She asked again.

 

"Uh, yeah I think so." He responded.

 

Without saying anything she reached her hand back and felt between his legs. She had both her boys wear pajama bottoms, because she thought they would be much more comfortable for the long ride. She pushed her hand into his crotch and could easily feel that the pull was wet. It was squishy between her fingers.

 

"They're soaked." She said surprised he would lie to her. They were pull ups, not diapers. He definitely would be able to tell they were wet. Looking back through the mirror she could still see his eyes were puffy and red from the crying he had been doing over the course of the car ride and didn't want to make him feel worse so she said, "that's fine, that's what they are for." Trying to sound as reassuring as possible. It had been hard to convince him to wear it for the trip in the first place. He hadn't been wearing them at night and that had resulted in a lot of laundry. She was afraid he was going to have an accident in his booster seat and she wouldn't be able to get the smell out of the car during the trip. She eventually was able to convince him and made sure he knew that she was having Cam wear one for the same reason. Although, she knew that Cam most likely would have been fine without the pull up she still made him wear it to make his older brother feel better.

 

Matt felt bad for not telling his mom he was wet. He had been wet for a while now. He realized he was when he woke up from sleeping over an hour ago. Now his pull ups were at the point where they felt very soggy and were cold. He supposed that that was the point of them. For a potty training toddler to feel uncomfortable so they didn't forget that they had wet themselves.

 

His thought were again interrupted with his mom saying "We're here."

 

They pulled into the driveway and al lMatt could think was how much bigger this house was compared to their last. Especially the yard. The front yard alone was bigger than their last one, and he could see it also had a sizable fenced in backyard. The moving truck was already parked out front and there was a crew of guys working on moving everything in the house. When they came to a stop in the driveway, his mom got out and went over to Cam's side to unbuckle him from his car seat. Matt unbuckled himself and hoped out of the car as a neighbor lady came over with a toddler in her arms. The toddler only had on a baby blue shirt and a diaper with no pants.

 

"Hi," she said, "you must be the new neighbors."

 

Matt's mom came from around the other side of the car followed by Cam. She immediately stuck her hand out to shake saying "Oh, hi. Yes we are. I'm Elizabeth, you can call me Liz though, and these are my two boys, Cameron and Matt."

 

"I'm Janet Reyes. I live right next door. This little bundle of joy here is Jack." She said giving the toddler in her arms a squeeze causing him to giggle.

 

"aw, hes so cute. You'll have to bring him over to play with the boys sometime while we have tea. "Matt's mom said. "If you don't mind, I gotta bring the boys inside to get settled in."

 

Matt saw the lady look down at his pants. The woman probably could tell he was in pull ups. The pajama pants he choose to wore were a little old and kind of still tight on him. A trained eye could tell he was wearing a pull up before, but now with it wet and his crotch bulging anyone could tell he was wearing something other than underwear under his pants.

 

"Oh, of course not. We'll talk more some other time. You go on and get settled in." She took the toddlers arm and used it to wave and said "say 'bye bye neighbors.'" The little toddler in her arms did in a very sweet and shy voice.

 

After the woman left they made their way into the house. Matt hated walking by all the moving guys in his wet pull up. They were all so big and strong, and here he was looking like a baby following his mommy to get his diaper changed. His mom had brought a bag with them in the car while the rest of their stuff was being moved into the house by the movers. The house on the inside was nice. It was two stories and had a basement. His mom lead them to the downstairs bathroom where they all went inside. Here take off your pants and pull up and use the toilet if you need to. Matt was a little hesitant about getting naked in front of his little brother and mom, but didn't want to cause a scene, so he pulled his pants and pull up down and off at the same time as his brother. Cam instantly went over to the toilet and started to relieve himself. Matt also had to pee, but waited till his brother was done before he too went over and relieved himself. Their mom was digging around the bag she brought and produced two pairs of underwear. They were both kiddie underwear with cartoon design on them. Not the usual plain boxers that Matt usually opted to wear.

 

"Shoot, I'm so sorry, but I must of grabbed two pairs of Cam's underwear sweety. Put these on for now and if you want you can go look for your underwear in the boxes the guys are moving in." His mom said feeling bad for making him wear such childish underwear.

 

"It's fine mom, nobody can see them anyway" Matt said as he took the underwear and slid them up his legs like his brother was currently doing. They both put their pajama pants back on.

 

"Alight, now lets get explore the rest of the house." His mom said opening up the bathroom door and leading them out.

 

The house was really nice. A little empty as they were still in the process of moving in, but a lot more spacious than their last house. Matt and Cam use to have to share a room, but now they each got their own. The downstairs had a very open design where you could see the living room and the dining room from the kitchen with the counter acting as a divider. Also on the first floor was a room that Mrs. Keeth announced was going to be her new at home office. There was also a bathroom upstairs as well as the one downstairs. The basement was unfinished and both the boys thought a little spooky too.

 

While they were looking around one of the mover guys came up the Mrs Keeth saying "Everything is off the truck and in the house mam."

 

"Oh thank you so much" she said as the movers took their leave. She gave them each a 20 dollar tip on their way out.

 

Once they were gone she said "Now to unpack. Lets first find which box has your guys clothes and get those put away in the dressers."

 

When exploring the house they already decided who got which room. Their mom got the masters bedroom and Matt got the room across from hers, while Cam got the one next to hers. They look through the boxes and couldn't find the one labeled clothes. She had put both of the boys clothes in one big box and hers in a different one. She was able to find the box of the clothes she packed, but not the ones with the boy's. She called the moving company and asked if they forgot any boxes on the truck to which they said no.

 

She was flustered not wanting to further upset her kids who had been through so much over the past few weeks and said "I'll tell you guys what, tomorrow we will go shopping and get you guys brand new clothes. You two are due for some new wear anyway. We'll make a day out of it."

 

Thankfully her kids agreed and didn't seemed too bothered about not having any spare clothes. They even seemed to be happy about the prospect of getting some new clothes.

 

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mrs Keeth answered it to be greeted by Mrs Reyes carrying Jack on her hip and holding something else in her other hand. Matt noticed that she had found some pants for Jack to wear. Matt and Cam both went off to find which box had their toys in it.

 

"Hi," Mrs Reyes said "I noticed the moving truck was gone and just thought I'd come over and see if you needed help unpacking."

 

"That would be great," Mrs Keeth said, "The boys can play with little Jack while we do."

 

"Yeah I was thinking it's such a nice summer day, they could play out back. I have a sprinkler we could hook up and they could run around in." Mrs Reyes said holding out the sprinkler she brought over.

 

"That would be great, except I don't have any suits for the boys."

 

"They're boys they can just runaround in their underwear." Mrs Reyes responded.

 

"The thing is, the moving guy lost the box with all their clothes and I didn't pack any spares, so they can't afford to get the underwear they have on wet and muddy."

 

"Well, that is unfortunate." Mrs Reyes said still thinking "Your back yard is fenced in, and I know Jack here loves to run around in the sprinkler like a little jaybird, I'm sure your boys could do the same."

 

"Oh I don't know if they would want to do that," Mrs Keeth said hesitantly.

 

"I'm sure you could convince them, nobody but us would see them, and I'd already gotten Jacks hopes up about running around in the sprinkler."

 

"Alright, I'll see what I can do."Mrs Keeth said gesturing for Mrs Reyes to come in.

 

Mrs Keeth went and found her boys in the living room unpacking the box with their toys. "Hey boys, how would you like to run around outside in the sprinkler with Jack while Mrs Reyes and myself unpack the rest of the boxes."

 

Cam let out an excited "sure."

 

"What are we going to wear, we don't have any suits?" Matt asked.

 

"Well since the backyard in fenced in you boys can just play around in the buff."

 

"No way." Matt said. He didn't want to run around naked with his brother and some baby.

 

"Please, Mrs Reyes already got Jack's hopes up and I'm sure it would crush him if you guys didn't join him." Mrs Keeth said trying to guilt Matt into doing it.

 

"I don't know mom. That doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun." Matt said as Cam was already bouncing out of the room peeling off his shirt.

 

"Come on sweety, do it for me, and your brother. Don't make him go out there alone to play. He looks up to you." She said.

 

"Fine, I'll do it." Matt said standing up and peeling off his shirt.

 

"Thank you, we can get pizza for dinner too if you like. Just go out there and have fun."

 

Matt and her went together though the kitchen and to the back sliding door made of glass. Cam's clothes were already strewn across the kitchen floor. Matt could see Mrs Keeth already had the sprinkler up and running and both Cam and Jack were naked running through it. He hesitantly stepped out of his pants and underwear and handed them to his mom who was currently collecting Cam's clothes. He felt weird being naked in the open air, but it wasn't so bad since there were two others like him. He joined his brother and the neighbor boy as they played in the sprinkler. At first he was a little reluctant, but soon became more engaged in what they were doing.

 

Mrs Keeth and Mrs Reyes chatted in the kitchen as they opened boxes and started putting away pots and pans.

 

"You have really gorgeous boys, you know that." Mrs Reyes said.

 

"Yeah I know," Mrs Keeth said looking out at her two boys happily playing along with the toddler boy, "They really are something special."

 

"I noticed one of them was wearing training pants when I first said hello."

 

"Oh, Matt. They both were. It was just for the car ride. He had just wet his so they were a little more obvious."

 

"Oh I can understand why his eyes were red then, he must have put up a fight having to wear them."

 

"Not exactly. He did put up a fight having to wear them, but he has been crying a lot over the past few days. I lost my husband in an accident a few weeks ago."

 

"I'm so sorry to hear that" Mrs Reyes said resting a hand on Mrs Keeth's shoulder.

 

"Yeah, it's been rough on the boys, especially on Matt. He just hasn't been his happy self lately. He's been having nightmares almost every night and has been wetting the bed more and more."

 

"Oh, trauma induced regression." Mrs Reyes said. Noticing the inquisitive look on Mrs Keeth's face she added, "I'm a child psychologist. Or at least was. I haven't practiced in a few years. We had plenty of money so I stepped away from my job to give Jack my full attention."

 

Mrs Keeth looked out the window and saw how much fun Jack was having running around with her boys. "Yeah, that's how Matt was when he was Jack's age. He was cheerful and constantly giggling. Now he just seems so withdrawn. So you think his bladder control is regressing?"

 

"Some children after trauma are more prone to regressing than others. Not just in the bladder department, but emotionally as well." Mrs Reyes continued, "Let me ask you a question, when did Matt originally potty train?"

 

"Pretty early on, maybe at one and a half."

 

"Sometimes kids who are potty trained too early are more prone to regressing. Did he wet the bed before your husbands death."

 

"Yes, but it has been increasing by a lot since then."

 

"He may also be emotionally regressing. The bladder regression and emotional regression sometimes go hand and hand. Kids sometimes regress emotionally to a time when they felt more safe and secure. It gives them a sense of stability that has been taken away from them from trauma."

 

Mrs Keeth felt horrible. Was it her fault? She had been pushing for him to grow up so fast."I...I...don't know what to say. I had been pushing him to grow up fast and always pushed that he was a big boy in fear that he would feel insecure due to his small size."

 

"It could be that pushing him to be a big boy is conflicting with his brains desire to regress back to when he felt more stable and him fighting it is what is causing the internal conflict."

 

"So what are you saying?" Mrs Keeth asked confused.

 

"He may have already been wrestling with how he looks and how he feels, or at least how he thinks he should feel, which is grown up. Then the trauma only amplified it. He may have felt insecure and in a place of instability, at least internally, so the desire for his brain to emotionally regress to match how he looks wasn't that strong, but now he is in a place where he feels way more unstable and insecure. The trauma from losing someone who might of helped give him a sense of security and the moving away from a place that also might have given him security has left him in a place where he doesn't have enough to combat his brains desire to regress."

 

"So you're saying Is I shouldn't have moved out here?"

 

"Not at all, the idea of moving may have played a factor, but the moving part is already done. And when I say a factor I'm sure the loss of his father was a much bigger factor. Sometimes a fresh start is good, but for him I think being away from something familiar could lead to regress faster."

 

"So what do I do to stop that from happening?"

 

"Well, that is where it is kind of up to you and your best judgment, you are his mother after all."

 

"But I don't know what to do, you're saying moving out here is only going to cause him to further regress."

 

"He would have most likely regressed regardless if you moved or not. Moving simply sped up the inevitable, if anything. Moving also could be helpful for remedying the situation."

 

"How so?"

 

"Well, If he is in fact regressing emotionally you wouldn't want him around people that he knows because that could damage him psychologically. Having his friends see him pee himself or break down in tears would hurt his self esteem a lot."

 

"So what would you recommend I do." Mrs Keeth said pleading for help.

 

"Well, like I said I can't make that choice, only you can. What I can do is lay out some potential pathways. You can continue on as you are now pushing him to grow up which might just cause more internal conflict. You could ignore it, which might cause him to feel abandoned and alone in his struggle. Or you could play into it, which does have have the potential of causing him to resent you, but also has the potential to give him a chance to grow up at his own pace."

 

The last option peeked Mrs Keeth's interest, "What do you mean by play into it?"

 

"Treat him like a baby, well more likely a toddler?"

 

"Like make him wear a diaper?"

 

"Well yeah, among other things. That is the idea to treat him as if he was at an earlier point in his life so he can't really regress any lower. It gives him the opportunity to match his emotional level to his physical level. It also would give him the opportunity to heal."

 

"I can't do that. Putting an eight year old in diapers. I'd have Child Protective Services called on me."

 

"By who? Nobody knows who you are here. Like I said moving could also have been the best move because it gives you the potential to handle the situation in exactly the manner you see fit." Mrs Reyes looked out the kitchen window at the boys playing in the sprinkler. "Look out there and tell me what you see."

 

Mrs Keeth looked out the window and saw Matt jumping back and forth through the sprinkler while Cameron stood and cheered them on. She noticed that Matt was now giggling like Jack was and he was beaming from ear to ear. "He's happy," she said.

 

"Ill tell you what I see. I see one big boy cheering on two happy naked toddlers."

 

 

Mrs Keeth realized she was right. Without any clothes to distinctly separate their age she realized Cameron actually looked older than Matt. Matt could easily pass off as being the same age as Jack.  

Chapter 2 What's It going to be?

Mrs Keeth and Mrs Reyes talked for a long while. They finished unpacking almost everything. The backyard was also starting to turn into a mud pit around the sprinkler and the boys kept slipping and falling down. Needless to say, they were covered in mud. 

Mrs Keeth called her boys to the back porch ask if they had a fun time, to which both boys said "yeah". 

Mrs Reyes went and unhooked the hose from the sprinkler and quickly rinsed off her own son before wrapping him in a towel she had brought. She handed the hose off to Mrs Keeth who did the same for her boys telling them to say goodbye and go hop in the shower together. They said their goodbyes and her boys headed upstairs to hop in the shower. Mrs Keeth thought it was funny how even after spending an afternoon running around in the buff Matt was still uneasy about being naked. He kept covering his crotch with his hands. She had to admit as he walked by her to go in the house she looked at his naked little bottom thinking how cute it was and how much cuter it would looked with a diaper on it.

She was still a little hesitant about the idea, but Mrs Reyes spent the better part of an hour going over the logistics with her. She decided that she would give it a try and see how Matt responded to it. Mrs Reyes told her that he would be resistant to it at first, but ultimately he would most likely accept his new role and be much happier in the end. If it only served to further depress him then they agreed they would stop it immediately. Mrs Reyes had to reassure her that she shouldn't stop at the first sign of resistance though. She talked about how he might fight it a lot at first and how that that wasn't necessarily causing him further psychological and emotional damage.

Mrs Keeth brought the clothes they had on before up to the bathroom and left them on the counter. The shower curtain was translucent. Just based off their obscured shapes she thought that it looked like Cameron was indeed the older brother helping clean his toddler sibling.

She also ordered them a pizza for when they got out of the shower. The rest of the evening was pretty uneventful. Mrs Keeth kept an eye on Matt and noticed that he already seemed to be in better spirits from just spending one afternoon as a carefree little boy. She also kept thinking about how she was going to bring it up to him. She couldn't think of a good way and was beginning to dread bed time. She did have one idea though.

Finally when it was time to go to bed both the boys brushed their teeth and headed off to their new rooms. She first went to her youngest son's room to tuck him in and kiss him good night. She then went into the bathroom closet and retrieved a pull up from the pack she had bought for the car ride. She went into Matt's room and closed the door behind her. He was already under the covers still wearing his shirt and pajama bottoms from before.

"Listen sweety, I would like for you to wear a pull up to bed tonight." She said pulling the covers back a bit.

"Do I have to?" He asked defeated knowing he wasn't in the best place to object considering the last two times he fell asleep he peed himself.

"Yes, I'm sorry honey. I just think it would be a bad start for you to wake up wet in your new home."

Matt slid the covers the rest of the way down and swung his legs over the side of the bed about to jump down when his mom gripped the bottom of his t-shirt and pulled it up forcing his arms up and off his head. He didn't really have time to react as she lifted him by the waist off the bed so he was standing on the floor. In the same fashion she hooked her thumbs into the waistband of his pants and underwear and pulled them to his feet, having him then step out of them. Before he could even extend his hand to take the pull up from his mom she already had it held open for him to step into. Again, he didn't say anything. He was too tired from the afternoon of running around to really object. It had been a while since his mother had undressed and dressed him. He stepped into the pull up one leg at a time and his mother pulled them up and around his waist making sure they were firmly in place. She also used her fingers to trace around the inside of the leg holes to make sure the leak guards were properly in place.

When she was all done she held open the covers for him to crawl into. "I want you just to wear the pull up tonight just in case you do have an accident I don't want it to leak and get on your pajama pants or shirt or else you would have nothing to wear out shopping tomorrow."

Matt felt like such a toddler crawling into bed in nothing but a pair of pull ups.

His mom sat down on the edge of his bed and in a very calm voice asked "You looked like you were having fun today playing with Jack."

"Yeah, it was." He said not understanding why his mother was bring it up.

"You know, looking out the kitchen window, you actually looked like you could have been his age."

"I know. I wish I was bigger," Matt said in a dejected tone.

"Do you?" His mom asked in a genuine way.

"What do you mean?" He asked not understanding what she was getting at.

"If you looked more like your age, I don't think I would have let you run around the backyard naked."

"Uh, thanks mom." Matt said sarcastically.

"I just think it was nice seeing you run around carefree with Jack."

Confused, Matt asked "what are you getting at?"

"Would you want to do something like that again?" His mom asked still trying to figure out how to get at what she was trying to say better.

"Uh, run around naked? We can just get bathing suits tomorrow, then we don't have to."

"No not that, well kinda. I mean would you like to be able to act more like how you look?"

Flustered Matt asked "What does that mean? How do I look?"

His mom responded trying to calm him down "I already said. When I looked outside at you running around naked with Jack, you guys look almost indistinguishable in age."

"So like a baby? You want to know if I want to act like a baby?"

"Yeah, I suppose."

"No." Matt said bluntly. He was annoyed that his mom would first insult him by telling him he looked like a baby and then asked if he wanted to act like one.

"I know how hard everything had been on you lately. Well I guess all the time. I pushed you so hard to be older, because I thought it was best for you to feel older despite not looking your age. You never really got a chance to grow up at your own pace. I sort of forced it on you, and I'm sorry for that, but now we are in a new place and this is a fresh start, so I wanted to give you that opportunity."

His mother was getting a little choked up which caused him to choke up to. He started saying "I'm sorry I've been wetting the bed, I'm not doing it on purpose."

Tears were running down Matt's face at this point and Mrs Keeth couldn't stand to see her baby hurting so she pulled him up in his bed and embraced him tightly. She rubbed his back and said "Oh baby, it's not that. I know you're not doing it on purpose. For a while now you haven't been your usual happy self. It's been killing me watching you withdraw more and more. Then today when I saw you running around like a toddler, I saw how happy you were. Even Mrs Reyes noticed it. Shes a child psychologist. She talked with me for a long while about you. She said that I may have pushed you to grow up too soon and how this could be an opportunity for you to heal."

His sobs were dying down a little bit as he said "But mom I don't want to be a baby."

"You might not think you want to, but your something deep down in your brain does."

"Then how will I know if it's what I really want."

"You'll know. There might be some things you find unpleasant or even scary, but I'm sure there are tons of things you will love." She was still rubbing his back and the tears seemed to stop as she continued "You ever notice how you enjoyed playing with Cam a lot more when he was younger?"

"Yeah but I was younger."

"Yeah you were 6 and he was 2. You would love to play with him and all his toddler toys. Even to this day you rather play with his toys over your own."

"Yeah I guess." Matt responded realizing she was right. He did enjoy playing with his toys more than his. Sometimes they would even trade toys. 

"Even today. You had a blast and you were acting exactly like a toddler would."

"Cam was also out there playing with us." Matt pointed out.

"Yeah, but he wasn't into it nearly as much as you were. When I looked out I noticed he was standing around a lot egging you two on as you rolled around in the mud. He wasn't nearly as filthy as you two were."

"I suppose. What would acting like a baby even entail?" Matt asked not understanding the specifics.

"Well you would act however you want. It's more you would be treated like a two year old rather than an eight year old." Mrs Keeth knew that if he was regressing emotionally he would behave more like a two year old naturally without even realizing it. Especially if she started treating him as such.

"Would I have to wear diapers like Jack?" Matt asked giving it more thought. The ideas of wearing diapers was not something he was too fond of.

"Of course. You would be treated exactly like any other two year old."

"Could I still use the bathroom."

"The diapers would be your bathroom."

"I would have to use them?"

"Of course. Two year olds use and wear diapers."

"But I'm not actually two."

"I know, but if you agreed that this is what you want or at least agreed to give it a shot, then for the purpose of avoiding confusion, you would be considered a two year old in every way."

"What would Cam think?" Matt asked. He didn't like the idea of being babied in front of his younger brother.

 "I don't know. I would talk to him and I'm sure he would be understanding. He loves you, just like I do."

"What if I decide I don't want to do it."

"Well, then that is your choice. But let me first ask you one thing. Do you want to have more days like today where you are allowed to run around and be carefree"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I want to be a baby."

"I know it doesn't, but I think you should give it a try. Just think how happy you were today. That is the happiest I have seen you in a long time. Don't you want to capture that and repeat it every day?"

Matt looked off away from his mother and thought about it. Even before his dad passed he couldn't remember a lot of days were he felt happy in the past year. Then after his dad died he couldn't think of a single one, at least until today. "What If I agree to go along with it and then decide I don't want to do it, would things just go back to normal?"

Mrs Keeth and Mrs Reyes had talked about this extensively and thought giving him the option to just stop at any point was a bad idea. "Well, no. If you agreed to be treated like a two year old, then that is how you would be treated for at least a month even if you changed your mind."

"A month?" Matt said shocked. He couldn't imagine being in diapers for a month. He thought this would last a few days or a week max.

"Yes a month."

"What happens after a month."

"Well you either decide to keep going or decide to stop. Because I think this is what would be best for you I also will add in that if at the end of the month you decide you want to stop, I'll get you the new Xbox." Mrs Keeth thought bribing him to agree was a bad idea, but Mrs Reyes assured her it was better to do anything to get him to go along with it since in the long run it would be best for him and if was best for him, he wouldn't want to stop in a month. She thought that even if he did actually want to be treated as a toddler the idea of getting the Xbox would make him want to stop no matter what. Mrs Reyes assured her that if he actually did want this he would emotionally regress enough to the point where the idea of having an Xbox wouldn't even cross his mind.

"So I get an Xbox if I want to stop? Do I still get the Xbox if I want to continue?"

"Well no, you would get something else special, more appropriate for your age."

"Like what?" Matt asked already thinking that no matter what he was for sure gonna decide to stop and take the Xbox.

"I don't know, we will have to see when we get there." Mrs Keeth already talked about what she could potentially get him if he decided to continue. "So what's it going to be then?"

Matt was silent while he thought about it. He had to admit if the Xbox wasn't on the table then he would have for sure said no, but he did have a lot of fun today. Part of him thought that it could be the worst month of his life. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like to purposefully go to the bathroom in diapers. Another part of him thought that maybe there is something deep inside him that actually wants this and he'll have month of days like today. He ultimately decided that even if it was the worst month ever he would at least get an Xbox out of it and if it turned out his mom and the neighbor lady were right, then he would at least have a month of happiness and he still would stop after a month to get an Xbox out of it. "Fine, Ill do it" He said.

Chapter 3 Shopping Part One

Matt was sitting in class listening to the teacher drone on. He hated school. He wasn't very good at it and never seemed to be able to pay attention. He would try, but then something else would catch his attention outside, or he would get lost in his thoughts only to realize the teacher was still talking. Then when he went to pay attention again he would be lost and had no idea what the teacher was talking about. This would happen a lot and it would frustrate Matt.

 

The door to the classroom opened and the principle stuck her head in. The teacher walked over and they talked briefly before the teacher looked to Matt and said "Can you come here for a moment?"

 

Matt got up and went over to the door where the principle told him "Your dad is here to pick you up and bring you home early." Matt looked around the principle and saw his dad standing there. All Matt could think about was how his dad was here to save him from school.

 

His dad walked forward and asked "Who's this? I asked for my son. Not some baby."

 

Matt was shocked. He was still standing in the doorway and didn't know what his dad was talking about. He also was aware that the whole class heard and was now watching what was going on. "What do you mean? It's me dad."

 

"My son's a big boy, not some baby clearly can't even keep his diaper dry." His dad started to walk away angry.

 

Matt looked down and saw he was wearing only a diaper that was stained yellow in the front. The class behind him burst into laughter as he turned around and saw even his friends were pointing and laughing at him. Facing toward them only caused them to laugh harder and then they started chanting 'baby, baby, baby'. Tears were running down Matt's face as he backed out of the classroom only to accidentally trip over the principles shoe. It felt like everything was in slow motion as he fell backwards. He was only an inch from the ground..................

 

Matt woke up midfall and landed with a thud on the floor. He was still shook from the nightmare. Luckily the blanket he pulled off the bed and down with him helped cushion his fall, but it was still loud.

 

His mom burst into the room asking "Are you alright?"

 

"Yeah, I'm fine mom" Matt said.

 

Mrs Keeth could see tears starting to form in his eyes. She knew it wasn't just from the fall. His bed wasn't that far off the ground and he was still wrapped in his thick comforter. She got down on the floor with him and asked "Did you have another dream about dad?"

 

She could tell Matt was trying to hold his tears back when he noodled with a 'mhm'.

 

"Was it a bad one?" She asked.

 

Matt couldn't hold it in and started crying saying "He didn't recognize me."

 

This broke her heart. She pulled her son still wrapped in his comforter onto her lap and started rocking him like he a baby trying to calm him down.

 

Matt continued through his sobs having a hard time getting it out, "H..he...he...said....his son....wa..wa..wasn't....a baby."

 

Mrs Keeth felt terrible. He had been having dreams about his dad and even the good ones still made him sad. The fact that she felt this one was triggered by the arrangement she had made with Matt made her feel that much worse. She continued rocking him saying "shh..shh..shh..It's alright baby. It was just a bad dream. Your daddy loved you more than anything in the whole world and he would never forget you." She continued, "He also would never say that about his son. You know, he was the one who actually told me I was pushing you too hard to grow up a long time ago. He would tell me sometimes that you were growing up too fast and that he just wanted his little guy back."

 

"Really?" Matt asked. His tears were subsiding.

 

"Yes, really. And let me tell you this. What really hurt your dad was seeing you upset. He just wanted you to be happy no matter what. If he were here right now, I'm sure he would have been the one to push you to make the choice you did last night. Especially after seeing how happy you were yesterday."

 

Matt didn't say anything. He just felt good being rocked and comforted by his mom. It made him feel warm inside. He also realized that his pull up was also warm. Him peeing himself must have not only been in the dream.

 

After a few minutes of being rocked his crying completely stopped and he said "Mommy, my pull up's wet."

 

Mrs Keeth hadn't been called 'mommy' by Matt in years. She didn't even think he did it on purpose. Maybe Janet was right. Maybe he is regressing. She stood up and said "Okay, lets go get you in a new one."

 

She carried him off still wrapped in his comforter with him on her hip. She brought him to the bathroom where she went into the closet to get the pack of pull ups. She placed them on the counter while she set Matt down on his feet. She unwrapped the comforter from him and threw it out of the bathroom into the hallway. She quickly turned the shower on and swapped it to the detachable head setting. She kind of expected him to start taking off the pull up himself, but he didn't. He just stood there and watched what she was doing. She took the initiative and hooked her fingers into the waistband of his pull ups and pulled them down his legs, having him step out of them. She then instructed him to stand in the shower were she hosed down his private area. She noticed yesterday after the car ride when he had been sitting in the wet pullups for a while his privates were a little red. An afternoon of playing in the sprinkler and airing out helped, but she still didn't want to chance him developing a rash before she could even get him into diapers. After rinsing him off she took out a towel from the closet and dried off his diaper area before lifting him up from under the armpits. She lifted him out of the shower and placed him on the bathroom floor. She got out another pull up and held it open for him to step into asking "Would you like to sleep in mommy's room for the rest of tonight?"

 

"Why" he asked as he stepped into the pull up having them slid up his legs.

 

"I just thought it would be nice, just in case you need any more comforting during the night." His mom said walking out into the hallway to pick up his comforter.

 

"Okay" He said, following her out of the bathroom. He was still a little shook from the nightmare and liked the idea of being comforted while he tried to go back to sleep. 

 

She put the comforter back on his bed to find him already under the covers of her bed. She crawled in next to him wrapping her arms around him gave him a kiss on the forehead. She looked over at the clock and saw it was still only one in the morning. They had a big day ahead of them. It didn't take long for both her and her son to fall back to sleep.

 

The next morning Liz woke up before both her kids. She carefully got out of bed as to not wake Matt. She successfully got out of bed without him waking and went to get ready for the day. She got new clothes out of her dresser before going to the bathroom to take a shower. She hopped in the shower and thought about all the different stores they were going to have to go to today. Janet helped her make a list the other day about items she would need to get for Matt. She even offered to babysit the boys while she shopped for some of the items. Janet refused. She knew she needed them to be with her in order to try on clothes. 

 

After she was done with her shower and was done getting ready she knew the next order of business was talking to Cam. She's sure if she didn't say anything he would be very confused about why they were getting some of the items they were. When she entered his room he was already awake. She asked him if he need to go to the bathroom, to which he responded 'yes'. She told him to go to the bathroom and then come back here when he was done. He ran off to the bathroom while she sat on the edge of his bed and thought about how exactly she was going to bring it up.

 

When Cam was done  with the bathroom he came back in. Liz had him sit down on the bed so she could explain the situation to him. She went over what Mrs Reyes and her had talked about. She also talked about what Matt had agreed to and what exactly that meant.

 

"So I'm going to have a baby brother?" Cam asked.

 

"Yes, kind of. He's still your older brother, but I want you to treat him as if he's your younger brother. That means not teasing him for how he acts or how he is dressed." She knew she probably didn't have to tell Cam not to be mean to his brother, but just wanted to make it clear. Cam was a sweet kid and very mature for his age. He actually seemed excited at the idea of having a little brother.

 

She also talked about how if he wanted. She would start giving him more responsibilities and treating him in way that matched his maturity. She was afraid of pushing him to grow up like she had with Matt, so made it clear she would only do so if that is what he really wanted. He of course said he did. Cam always seemed like the opposite of Matt. She had to push Matt to grow up, which she did, while Cam always seemed to want to grow up faster on his own, which she tried to slow for Matt's sake. She didn't want Cam to pass Matt in maturity, because she thought it would have hurt Matt's self esteem, but now she had a completely different perspective.

 

"Alight then, you think you can handle taking a shower by yourself" Liz asked. She normally would be the one to bathe him and let Matt take showers. He sometimes would take showers, but only with his older brother to supervise and help.

 

"Of course." Cam said excited at being given new freedoms. He didn't want to let his mom down. 

 

"Okay, just please be careful and leave the bathroom door open. Yell if you need help with anything. Remember, shampoo, then conditioner.

 

"Okay mom." Cam said running off excited.

 

She went back to her room just as Matt was waking up.

 

"How's your pullup?" She asked pulling back the covers to let him slide out.

 

"dry" He said" But I have to use the bathroom."

 

"Do you want to just use the pull up? We still have a whole pack of them" she said figuring he might as well get use to it.

 

"It's not just pee. Can't I just use the toilet one last time?"

 

Liz agreed. She told him to use the bathroom downstairs since his brother was in the one upstairs. She didn't have the supplies to deal with a messy pullup anyway, at least not yet.

 

After using the bathroom Matt ran upstairs and back into his room to get his clothes on. He noticed his mom had taken the underwear out of the pile. He knew what she expected. There was no real use arguing. He also thought it would be ridiculous for him to ask to be put in kiddie underwear as if those were any better. As he was putting his pajama pants and shirt back on his mom asked him if he wanted to take a shower before they leave. He told her he didn't.

 

They didn't really have any food at the house yet so she told them they would pick something up on the way to the mall. When everyone was all ready they went out the car. Matt started to go over to the side of the car where his booster seat was, but was stopped by his mom. She told him that she thought it would be better if him and Cam swapped seats. Cam was excited, already feeling much older after successfully taking a shower alone. Cam was able to get in the booster seat and buckle his seat belt himself while Matt had to be helped with the harness that held him into the car seat. After that, they were off.

 

Cam didn't really say anything to his brother about what their mom had told him. He also could tell that his older brother was not wearing his underwear from yesterday.

 

Matt could see that Cam kept glancing over at him. He also thought it was gonna be kind of weird sopping around with him and Cam still wearing their pajama pants. He rationalized that it would be no worse than what he would be wearing in public after today. His goal was going to be to try and pick out the least babyish looking clothes he could.

 

They got breakfast on the road before they got to the mall. Matt got a chocolate chip muffin and chocolate milk. His brother got a cream cheese bagel and orange juice. It didn't take long for them to get to the mall after they finished their breakfast in the car. Matt thought that for a town that was suppose to be out in the country they sure had a pretty sizable mall.

 

Liz got them out of the car and led them inside. She told them that first they were gonna get new clothes for Cam. They went into the first clothing store they came across, which was a Kohl's. First thing she did was grab a cart that had a seat on the front part. She picked Matt up without saying anything and placed him in the seat.

 

Matt was about to object, but decided he would look like a fussy toddler if he started arguing with his mm in the front of the store. Besides, he didn't mind not having to walk. Matt was pushed around the store by his mom while his brother walked along side them. His mom let Cam pick out a few outfits to try on. Matt noticed that Cam was picking out clothes that looked like they would be for older kids. He wondered if he was doing it on purpose. His mom also picked him out some plain white socks and grabbed a pack of underwear with cartoons on them. Before his mom could put the underwear in the cart Cam stopped her. He told her he wanted to start wearing boxers. His mom didn't object and let him pick out a few packs of different boxers. Cam had a bunch of clothes to try on. Before he did though, his mom wheeled them to the baby section of he store.

 

Mrs Keeth wanted to figure out what size Matt would be so she grabbed a few shirt and pants of different sizes without really caring about how they looked or felt. Then they all went to the changing rooms where she let Cam have his own room while she wheeled Matt into a different one. She got Matt out of the cart and helped him undress down to his pull up to try on some of the clothes she grabbed. She determined that he was a size 4T. Last doctors appointment he weighed in at only 30 pounds and only was 3 and a quarter feet tall. She assumed he probably was still in the low 30s and hadn't gotten that much taller in the past few months. She had him put his old clothes back on and helped him back into the cart. Cam was outside the changing room already waiting for them. He had a piled of clothes that he said fit him already in his hands and put the rest in the "back on shelf" bin. She put the clothes that fit Cam back in the cart and the ones that she had Matt try in into the same return bin as Cam. They then headed back to the baby section.

 

As they were browsing through the baby section Matt tried to say what he would and wouldn't wear only to be reminded by him mom that toddlers don't pick out their own clothes. Matt just had to sit there and watch at all the different clothes she was putting in the cart. He noticed all the pants she got were designed with the idea that the toddler would be wearing a diaper. She also picked out onesies and a few footed sleepers. He couldn't see all the clothes she was putting in the cart as he was sitting at the front, but he could generally tell what she was putting in based off when they passed a rack or shelf and she stopped. He wondered what she was going to do with all the clothes after the month was up. Probably donate them he thought.

 

Mrs Keeth wouldn't admit it, but she was loving looking through and picking out clothes for Matt. She was making sure the materials were nice and soft for him. She loved some of the cute designs that the shirts and overalls had on them. Before they left she also let Cam pick out a few more pants and shirts for himself now that he had better idea of what would fit him. Afterwards they headed off to the front of the store to checkout.

 

Checking out was a nightmare for Matt. The cashier was a girl in her 20s and she kept 'awwing' and cooing at every baby item she scanned. His mom and the girl talked a lot about the different baby clothes and how cute they were. Matt's cheeks were bright red knowing the girl knew the items were for him.

 

After they were done and everything was paid for Liz wheeled the cart out to their car where she put as much as she could on the passenger side seat and floor. She knew she would have to save some room in the trunk for other items. She told Cam to get buckled in while she wheeled the cart back to the front of the store. After dropping the cart off she carried Matt with him on her hip back to the car. Back at the car Cam was already waiting, buckled into his new booster seat. His mom then got Matt strapped into his car seat.

 

 

Matt felt like his legs were gonna lose muscle density from a month of being carried and carted around. They drove to the other side of the mall where they parked out front of a different stores entrance. Matt instantly recognized what store it was. Babies "R" Us.  

Chapter 4 Shopping Part Two

Matt was in shock at what store they were parked out in front of. He knew that his mom of course was gonna get him some baby items like she said, but hearing it and being there were two very different things. He supposed it made sense for her to have chosen this store over others. This was the one stop shop for all babying needs. His thoughts were interrupted as his mom opened the door and help him get out of his car seat. Cam was already out of the car and waiting. Matt was again carried on his mom's hip.

They walked together into the store where she had Cam grab them a cart. She placed Matt in the seat reserved for babies that was facing her. They went into the store. Matt couldn't see a whole lot as he had to turn around to see where they were going. The cart turned down an aisle before stopping. Matt had to turn around to see what aisle they were in. He saw shelves of different baby bottles. His mom was already looking through various ones before deciding on which ones she liked the most and putting them in the cart. Matt was too shocked to really even speak. He kind of felt like a passenger in his own body. They went down aisle after aisle where he could see his mom putting countless items in the cart. Some he didn't even know what they were for. It was also annoying him that Cam was helping his mom look for stuff. He could hearing her asking 'which one, this one, or this one'. Cam actually was getting a say and he was meant to just sit there.

Looking back Matt could see the cart was starting to fill up. He saw there were bibs, pacifiers, bottles, a brush. That was just the stuff he could see. He had limit range of motion being in the carts opposite facing seat. Eventually they made their way to the back of the store. Matt saw them pass by a section that had training potties, and then a section that had pull ups, and then the cart stopped. Matt turned his head and saw the back wall of the store was lined with shelves full of different diaper brands.

Matt sat facing forward as he heard his brother say "get him these ones. They have a monkeys on them".

"Those are cute, but after having two boys in diapers I know what the best combination is." He heard her pick up a box off the shelf and rearrange items in the cart before placing the box in the cart. "Pampers swaddlers for the day." He heard her grab a plastic package and also throw them in the cart saying "and Huggies OverNite's for night. Hopefully size 5 is big enough. " His mom came back around seeing how pale his face was and gave his leg a squeeze and said "It's alright honey. Deep breaths. We're almost done. Just need to do one more thing. She went over to the furniture section where she parked the cart. Matt was faced in a direction where he couldn't really see much. He tried to look around and could see his mom talking to one of the workers in the furniture section. He turned back around thinking about the actual logistics of what was in store for him. He also realized his bladder was pretty full. That chocolate milk had worked its way through his system. He tried to turn around again and could see the worker and his mom had moved further away. She was pointing at one of the displays as the man was writing something on a clip board. He didn't want to yell and cause a scene. He faced forward and tried to hold it in. After a few minutes he realized it was a losing battle. A relief washed over him as he let go and peed into his pull up. It actually felt kind of nice at first. It was a warm sensation that traveled down between his legs and spread around his crotch area. He felt like a baby having just peed himself while trapped in the part of the shopping cart reserved for babies in a store made for babies.

Mrs Keeth was looking through the different furniture and was pointing out which stuff she wanted delivered to her house. She got a highchair, a play pen, a crib, a changing table, a diaper genie, and a rocking chair for Matt's room. The delivery guy brought her over to the computer where he set up her order and delivery. He printed off a sheet of paper and instructed her to give to one of the checkout ladies on her way out. He said the items could most likely be delivered and set up later today. Liz thanked the man and went back to her cart. She could see Matt had tears coming down his face as he said "Mommy, I wet my pull up."

She was surprised that he couldn't hold it for the 10 minutes it took her to order his furniture. She also surprised that he would cry about it and call her mommy in front of his younger brother. She rubbed his arm saying "It's okay sweety. Remember, you're a two year old now. You were just playing the part. We're all done here. We just need to go check out and then we have one more place to stop before we go home for the rest of the day."

They went to the front and were checked out. Matt was grateful for where he was sitting since he didn't have to look at the cashier as she scanned all the items meant for him. On their way out Cam said "I have to go the bathroom."

Liz saw there was a bathroom right at the front and told Cam to go use it while they waited. She thought about opening the box of diapers and taking Matt into the ladies room to get changed, but decided against it. She wanted his first time being diapered to be at home, not in public. She thought that it would probably be too much for him to be out in public in diapers for his first time. Well, at least his first time since he was actually a baby. She turned towards Matt while they waited and asked "That wasn't so bad was it? We got your new clothes, your new supplies, now we just have to get some groceries to get us through the week."

Matt was still a little flustered from crying in front of his brother and asked "Do I have to do this?"

His mom feeling bad for him went back to rubbing his arm and said "It's a little too late for that now. Remember what I said? Once you agreed to it you were committed to doing it for the whole month."

"Cam's gonna think I'm a baby." He said.

"And? That is kinda the whole point of this. He might find it a little strange at first, so will you, and so will I, but we will all have to get use to it. Cam loves you and I'm sure he would rather have a little brother who was happy than a big one that was sad all the time."

Before Matt could say anything else Cam came out of the bathroom to rejoin them. His mom brought them back to the car where she handed off items to Cam to load into the trunk. When they were done his mom scooped Matt up out of the cart's seat and placed him on his feet next to the car. His mom asked Cam "Can you watch your little brother for a sec while I put the cart away."

Cam excited at the idea said "Sure thing mom."

Matt just stood there next to his brother as they watched their mom bring the cart across the parking lot to a corral. Matt broke the silence by saying "You know I'm only doing this because mom said if I do she'll buy me the new Xbox at the end of the month."

Cam responded with "Cool, when you do, can I play it too?"

Matt looked his brother in the face and said "Only if you're nice to me and don't tease me about any of this."

Cam felt a little insulted that first his mom told him to be nice to his brother and now his own brother was telling him. He responded with "Why would I?"

"I don't know, because I'm gonna be dressed and treated like a baby."

"I promise I wont make fun of you. Even if you hadn't offered to let me play your new Xbox I still would have been nice to you because you're my brother, and I love you." Cam said as he wrapped his arms around his brother.

Matt was shocked to be embraced by his little brother so suddenly. He hugged him back as tears started to form in his eyes and he thought to himself, I have the best brother on the planet.

Liz was walking back towards the car when she saw her two boys hugging. It was a sight that would melt any mother's heart. She saw Matt see her coming and broke off the hug out of embarrassment. She didn't say anything about it and just told Cam to go around and get in his booster seat. She had to deal with Matt's wet pull up. She put some in her purse this morning. She was glad she thought ahead. She opened the back car door and had him stand in the 'V' while she blocked the view. She then had him step out of his pants and wet pull up. She then help open a dry one for him to step into. She could tell he was trying to move as fast as he could to reduce the likelihood of someone walking by and seeing him. She put the wet pull up in a plastic bag she had brought and put it in the corner on one of the sides of the trunk. After she helped him get back into his car seat they were off to their last stop.

When they got to the grocery store Matt's mom let him walk. He was grateful for this. Although, he was aware that sitting down did a better job at hiding the pull up he was wearing. He could tell his butt stuck out more and that most people would be able to tell he wasn't wearing normal underwear. They went up and down the aisles and his mom picked out the usual stuff. When the passed the baby food he was afraid his mom was going to grab some. However, she didn't, which Matt appreciated. Same thing when walking down the aisle with baby formula. He saw her consider it for a bit, but they moved on. Overall he enjoyed being able to walk around on his own. Nothing she bought really surprised him. She got some snacks for him like gold fish and fruit cups. She also got some cheerios for a breakfast cereal. Everything else seemed fairly normal. After they made their way up and down every aisle they went though the self checkout and back into the car. At this point the car was completely full. There were bags in the front passenger seat and on the floor. The truck was full. They also resorted to putting some bags on the seat between Matt and Cam's seats and on the floor in the backseat. Cam had to carefully climb into his booster seat to avoid stepping on anything. Matt didn't have to worry about this as he was lifted up and placed in the car seat by his mom. Once everything and everyone was in the car they were off.

Matt thought about what would happen when they got home. When would they start the whole baby treatment. Maybe he could convince his mom to let him have the rest of today and start first thing tomorrow.

Great beginning 

[starman]

A bit surprised when she had placed baby bottles in trolley then decided not to buy formula ??

[Angela Bauer]

JC Baby, the first 4 chapters are marvelous. I look forward to more chapters!

[junyour]

I agree with the first posters.  You have the start of a very good story here. It has the potential to be great. All I can ask is , please, don't ask us too long to wait too long for updates.

[Eagle0769]

Great story. The beginning is well written and explained each person.

Mom is really counting on what her new friend said about Matt.

I didn't hear once that Matt was embarrassed about what his Mom was buying

maybe it is what he wants.

I wondered about the furniture she bought a rocking chair. Mmmmm

ye I thought having his mom make him drink formula when he didn't need the extra calories or nutrients wouldn't have been wise. Besides normal milk will do just fine. It's more the vessel he is drinking out of rather than what he is drinking.

Thank you.

Yeah she is couting a lot on her new friend. I think deep down she realized she was right.

Matt was also in shock and couldn't see everything she got. He was acting more reserved. He is not one to make a scene in public when he is embarrased out of fear of drawing more attention to himself. Also like Mrs Reyes said, there is a part of him that does want it, even if he is unable to admit it to himsrlf.

Yeah you'll have to see what her plan is for all the furniture in the upcoming chapters. She wants to give him the full baby experience. At least as much as she can for the time being.

Thank you. I will do my best. What I will say is I have a lot going on this time of year, especially with the Fall semester coming to a close. Lots of papers and projects to do. There will be more space in between updates, but I'll try my best to not make you have to wait too long. I'll try to get the next chapter out by Sat night.

Great start. 

 

keep up the good work.

Chapter 5 Changes

The whole time they were out shopping Matt just wanted to be back home. Now that they were on their way back to the house Matt couldn't help but but feel dread. When they pulled into the driveway his mom came around to his side to help him out. While she was unbuckling he asked "Are we going to start today?"

"Yes of course" She unbuckled Matt and lifted him out of his seat.

"Can't we start tomorrow?" He was placed on her hip.

"How about you help bring everything inside, and help put everything away, then we'll start. Then, If we do we can count today as one of the 30." She placed him on his feet.

"I don't know" He didn't want to start at all, but knew he couldn't put it off forever.

"We're going to have to start at some point. Might as well get it out of the way sooner. Starting is the hardest part." She started collecting bags from the back seat.

"Can I use the bathroom one last time before we do?"

"Okay, deal. Now help me bring all this inside. Groceries first." She didn't want to fight him over starting, so she felt allowing him to use the bathroom one last time in return for his cooperation was not a bad compromise.

Matt took his time bringing in items. He wanted to prolong the inevitable as much as possible. It didn't help that Cam was trying to display how grown up he was by bringing in as many bags as he could in one trip. While Matt was grabbing bags from the trunk he saw the two packs of diapers. The Pamper's Swaddler were a 104 count box and the Huggies OverNite were a 58 count package. There was no way he was going to use a 160 diapers in only a month. The idea of "using" diapers still felt somewhat strange to him. He left the diapers for someone else to bring in and brought the remainder of the baby items inside. He set everything down on the kitchen floor. On his way back he walked by Cam two-handed carrying the box of Pampers with the package of Huggies on top. When he was out the door he heard his mom tell him to bring the diapers upstairs and put them in her room. Matt opened the front passenger side of the car and grabbed a few bags of clothes. He saw at the top of one of the bags a baby blue footed sleeper. He wanted to throw it in the outside trash on his way in, but he was afraid his mom would find out.

Mrs Keeth finished putting all the groceries away as her boys finished bringing in the rest of the bags from the car. She then told Cam and Matt to go put their new clothes away in their respective dressers while she found places to put some of the baby items. Most stuff she put in her room for the time being. She didn't want to start putting stuff in Matt's room till his new furniture was delivered and set up. She also took all the baby bottles and pacis she bought and gave the a quick rinse before putting them on the drying rack.

Matt was upstairs putting his new clothes away. He got a better look at all the items his mom had bought for him. He cringed at almost every article of clothing he put away. When he was done putting everything away he brought the empty plastic bags down to his mom in the kitchen. She told him if he wanted to he could go use the bathroom now. she told him that after he was done they would get started. Matt used the downstairs bathroom. It was smaller than the upstairs one. It also didn't have a tub or shower. Matt sat on the toilet to do his business. He had to go number one and two. Luckily his mom allowed him one last use of the bathroom. He couldn't imagine what pooping a diaper would be like. As he was emptying his bowels he determined that he would just hold it all in for the next 30 days. When he was all done his mom was waiting for him outside the door. She asked him "Ready?"

He took a deep breath and said "All right." His mom picked him up and placed him on her hip with a hand supporting his padded butt. They made their way upstairs.

"I had Cam ran a bath while you were in the bathroom. Should almost be all full for you."

"I have to take a bath?" He asked.

"You didn't have a shower this morning. Your gonna have to get use to bath time. You'll be taking one once a day, maybe every other day. It depends how dirty you get."

Matt did not like that idea at all. He supposed if he was going to be treated as a baby he would have to get use to not being able to do anything for himself. He would also have to get use to his mom seeing him naked on a fairly regular basis.

At the top of the stairs Matt spotted Cam coming out his room with his Game Cube under one arm and his Switch under his other. "You can't have those." Matt whined.

Before Cam could respond his mom said "I told him he could. I told him he could pick out which toys he wanted from your room and put the rest in a box. We got you a few new ones when shopping and will go shopping for more another day."

"I'm not going to be able to play video games the whole month?" He asked. He didn't know if he could go a month without any video games. How would he pass the time?

"If your brother lets you, you can play video games with him in his room. We'll be moving your TV to his room as well. Two year olds shouldn't have a TV in their room."

His mom put him down once they were in the bathroom. Without missing a beat she started pulling his t-shirt up and off his head. Next came the pants. Then the pull ups. Even though his mom had seen him naked multiple times at this point he still couldn't help but blush and try to cover his privates. His mom also tossed the pull up into the bathroom trash. His mom quickly tested the water with her hand before lifting him up under the arms and placing him in the tub. She poured some soap into the tub before mixing it around with her hand. At least the bubbles would hide his nudity. Matt thought that the bath wasn't actually that bad. It was sort of nice having someone else clean him. His mom was a little rough with getting the shampoo in his hair though. He also didn't care for his mom cleaning his privates and backside. He couldn't help but blush madly when she did. She definitely did a better job cleaning him than he had ever done. Usually when he took showers he would just do shampoo and conditioner. He never really would take the time to soap up his whole body and rinse off.

Mrs Keeth was enjoying bathing her boy. She could tell he was embarrassed with being bathed by his mom. However, at times he did crack a smile. He even let out a little giggle when she was cleaning his feet. She knew that the first of everything was going to be hard for him. Maybe even the second and third, but if Mrs Reyes was right then eventually he should really start to be enjoying all of this. Bath time would probably last a lot longer when that happened. She could picture him playing with the bubbles and bath toys. She made a mental note that she still needed to get him bath toys along with more non-bath ones. When she was satisfied her boy was nice and clean she pulled the drain cover off. She went over and picked out a big and fluffy towel from the closet. She had Matt stand up in the tub before wrapping the towel around him and lifting him out of the tub. She placed him down on the bath mat and began drying him off. She debated having him walk back to her room naked, but decided against it. Normally she might of, but she didn't have his changing table yet. When she was done drying him she wrapped him in the towel again and placed him on her hip. She brought him to her room. Once all the furniture arrived they would do this in his room, but for the time being all the supplies were in hers.

Matt was laid down on his moms bed still wrapped in the towel. He was comfortable being encased in the fluffy towel before his mom fanned it out on either side of him. The cold air hit his still damp body and gave him goose pimples. It felt strange to be laying there completely naked in front of his mom. He was covering himself, but it still was embarrassing. He felt like after the month was over his sense of modesty was going to be non existent. Maybe he could become a nudist. If anything this month was going to be a way from him to build up a tolerance to being embarrassed. His thoughts were interrupted by his mom asking him "You ready for your first diaper?"

He knew that it was a rhetorical question, but still answered "No." A small part of him held out hope that his mom would accept the no and they would just stop all this. His hopes were quickly dashed  away when his mom opened up the box of Pampers. His mom pulled out a pack from the box and opened it with his fingers. Either she was purposefully going slow or time was just slowing down for him. She fanned out the diaper. He was able to see that it had some sort of green character on it from Sesame Street. Next thing he knew his mom had both his ankles in one hand and was lifting his backside off the towel. She slid the diaper under him before setting him down. He could feel where the diaper was on his lower back and thought it was up too high. He thought she was going to pull the front up, but she turned back around to retrieve a bottle of baby powered.

"Your going to have to move your hands sweety. Don't want to get them covered in powder." She hadn't really made any comments about him covering himself until now. She could tell he was embarrassed because his face was turning redder by the second. After a few seconds he reluctantly let his arms fall to the side. Liz didn't waste any time in sprinkling some powder on his privates and some on the seat of the diaper. She gently rubbed in the baby power which made Matt wince. He also was blushing even harder. Finally she pulled the diaper up over his front making sure that the sticky tabs were securely in place. She was happy with the size she picked. They looked to be a perfect fit. She also couldn't help but smile at her little boy. She didn't think that one piece of clothing would make him look so much younger than he already did. Mrs Reyes was right. Nobody would even bat an eye at him in public. They might stare though, because he was awfully cute.

Matt just laid there not really knowing what to do. It felt odd to be in a diaper. He realized he was wrong about it being too high up on his back. He could see that the front part came up to just a little bit under his belly button. He knew that if he wore pants a lot of the diaper would peak out the top. When he looked down at his lower half his mind was almost in denial of what it was seeing. It looked like the lower half of a toddler, not an eight year old. A part of him was disgusted at how babyish the diapers made him look. Another part wanted to explore the diaper with his hands, but he didn't want to do it with his mom watching him. She might think that he enjoyed them or something.

"So, how do they feel?" His mom asked using her own hand to give them a feel.

"Thick" They were thick. Much thicker than the pull ups. He couldn't put his legs together if he tried. He also didn't want to admit that they were kind of comfy. It was like having a pillow wrapped around your waist.

"But how do they feel? Are they loose? Are they too tight? They should feel a little snug, but not cutting off circulation." His mom had her fingers inside the leg bands trying to determine how well they fit herself.

After having his mom rub powered into his crotch he didn't really care that she was fiddling with his diaper. "They're fine, I guess."

"Alight, great. Lets go get you a shirt." He was picked up by his mom for the hundredth time that day. He was starting to get use to being carried around. Although, this time he could feel his mom gently patting his diaper with the hand that was cradling his bottom. In his room his mom set him down and looked through the draws to find where he put the shirts. She picked out a green shirt for him that had a smiling sun on the front. She pulled it over his head and helped him pull it down over his chest. He wished it was longer. It did almost nothing to hide the diaper. His mom patted him on the butt and said "Alight, you can go play with your brother now if you want. I still have some things I need to find places for."

Matt was confused "No pants?"

"No silly. At home you don't really need pants. It makes it easier to check and change your diaper if your not wearing any."

"But I cant have Cam see me in diapers."

"He's gonna know your wearing them pants or no pants. You might as well get him used to seeing you in them early on."

Matt really didn't want to be around his brother while wearing diapers. He knew he wouldn't make fun of him, but it still would be embarrassing to be around his younger brother while wearing such a babyish garment, especially with it on display. "Can I just hang out in my room?"

She was going to tell him that he wasn't suppose to be unsupervised unless in his play pen or crib, but decided to leave that for another time. "Are you sure? Your furniture is going to be delivered later today. You can't be in here when they are setting everything up. Not that you'd want to. If you play with Cam in his room you guys can close the door and wait till they are all done."

"Fine" he said. Walking off Liz noticed that the thickness of the diaper affected his gait. She couldn't help but think how cute he looked with how his hips swayed due to the diaper. It made it look like he was waddling slightly.

Cam's door was wide open so Matt just walked right in. Cam was busy hooking up the Game Cube to the TV, so he didn't notice him walk in. Matt sheepishly let out a "Hey." His brother turned around. Matt could tell Cam was surprised by the look on his face.

"Oh hey. Can you help me hook up the Game Cube?" He knew his brother was trying to not make him feel bad by not mentioning how he looked.

"Mom said I could play in here with you, if that's okay." Matt said walking over to help his brother properly hook up the console. As he was plugging in wires to the back of the TV he could tell that his brother kept looking down at his diapers. After getting the cords situated he asked "What? You don't have to pretend like I'm not in a diaper."

Cam could tell his brother was partly annoyed, but also embarrassed. He blushed saying "I'm sorry. I just thought if I said something you would think I was trying to be mean."

"I know you wouldn't. Ignoring the elephant in the room isn't helping though."

"Can I feel them? They look soft." Cam asked.

"Uhhhh...sure" Matt hadn't even felt the outside yet. At least not with his hands. He could feel them rubbing against the inside of his legs. They both took the opportunity to feel the outside. It probably would have been a weird site if someone was to walk by. Both him and his brother were poking and prodding at his diapers. The outside did feel really soft.

"What's that line running down the front?" His brother asked pointing at the yellow line that ran down the front of the diaper.

"Uhh...that's to tell if the diaper is wet or not. It changes color when it's wet." Matt had seen something about it on the package and knew that pull ups had a similar design.

"Oh, cool. Yellow's good right?"

"Yeah, yellow means dry."

"What color does it turn?"

"Uh, I don't know. It might even just fade."

"Well, you'll find out eventually" his brother joked.

He felt a little embarrassed about being reminded by his brother that he was going to have to use the diapers, "heh, yeah I suppose."

They both sat in front of the TV and played Pokemon. Well Matt let Cam play it while he watched. He would occasionally backseat game.

After an hour Mrs Keeth decided to check in on her boys. She stood in the doorway of Cam's bedroom and admired them. Cam was laughing and Matt was giggling at whatever game they were playing. Cam was sitting on his knees while Matt was sitting on his cushioned bottom with his legs crossed. She gently knocked on his opened door to get their attention before asking "Do you boys want anything to eat?"

Cam answered for both of them saying, "Yeah sure mom" without peeling his attention away from the screen.

She stepped into the room so she was standing over both her boys and ruffled Cam's hair saying "Sure thing. Anything to drink?" From her vantage point she took the opportunity to look down at the front of Matt's diapers. The line was still yellow.

"Yes please" Cam said.

When she was going downstairs she saw Mrs Reyes walking up their driveway with a box in her hand. She must have been bringing over what they talked about the other day. Mrs Keeth opened the door before she had a chance to ring the doorbell saying "Hi."

Mrs Reyes gave her a one armed hug asking "How is everything going so far?"

"Good. He's definitely been embarrassed by a lot of it, but overall he has been happier."

"Yeah. There will be an adjustment period. Each new thing will take time for him to get use to. The more use to it he gets the more his mind will slip into the role."

"Yeah, I've already seen some of that. Not a lot, but some. He's been very reluctant like you said."

"You get him in diapers?"

"Yep," Mrs Keeth glanced over at the kitchen clock, "he's been in them for a little over an hour now."

"Has he used them yet?"

"No I checked just a little bit ago. I'm afraid he's gonna hold it in forever and end up with a kidney infection or even make himself constipated."

"Nah, he'll use them. As long as he has no other option. He might try to use the toilet when your not looking. Make sure you keep an eye on him. Him getting use to using his diapers will be a huge step in helping with his regression."

Liz changed her focus to what was in Janet's arms and asked "Is that the pump."

"Oh yes of course." She handed over the already opened box to her saying "I made sure I cleaned it thoroughly and it has been sterilized."

"Oh thank you so much" Liz said looking in the box. It was a hospital grade breast pump. Janet was letting her borrow it for Matt. She said she had swapped to just hand pumping for when she wasn't breastfeeding Jack.

"Now I talked to my nurse friend who is a lactation consultant and she said it will take a while, but if you start today and do it for about 10 minutes every two hours then in a month time you should have your full milk supply back. That should line up perfectly for what we you have planned. She said if in three weeks you still aren't getting a decent amount then she can get you started on hormones to help."

"What do I do with the milk once I start producing?"

"She said you could just mix whatever you produce  in with his normal milk. She said it would actually be good for transitioning him if the ratio between your milk and cow milk progressively increased."

"Perfect, thank you so much. Did she say how long before I start producing even just small drops?"

"She said considering you haven't breastfed in a few years it could be 1-2 weeks before you start seeing anything. She said though that your supply would start increasing exponentially from there."

"Thank you. I'm kind of nervous yet excited. I feel like I won't actually be able to breastfeed my eight year old when all is said and done."

"That is far off. By that time, you won't see him as your eight your old. It will be impossible for you to see him as anything other than your little baby. It will feel only natural to breastfeed him at that point."

"Again, thank you." She gave her new friend a hug before sending her off on her way.

She quickly brought the pump up to her bed room and put it up high in her closet where her boys wouldn't find it. After that she went back to getting them their snack.

Cam finally let Matt have a try at the game. Although Cam did keep trying to grab the control to show him what to press. Matt knew how to play. Matt assumed that it was just hard for Cam to not treat him like his younger brother with how he looked and just let it slide.

"Here you are." Their mom placed a bowl of goldfish between them. She also handed Cam a glass of chocolate milk. Matt rolled his eyes when he turned to receive his drink. It was in a sippy cup with Spiderman on the side. At first he acted like he was too busy playing to take it from his mom. She just set it down next to him. His mom left and Cam eventually took back the controller. Matt just ate goldfish out of the bowl that was now in his lap while he watched his brother play. Matt loved goldfish, but he knew that you couldn't eat that many goldfish without having something to wash them down. He reluctantly put the sippy cup up to his mouth and gave it a test. It was apple juice. His brother saw him drink from it and didn't say anything. Matt's mouth was very dry so he just gave up trying to look mature in front of his brother and started drinking from the sippy cup like a toddler. It was dumb of him to even try to maintain his maturity while he sat their with his diaper on full display. Not a long while later him and Cam heard the doorbell. Matt instantly bolted to Cam's bedroom door and shut it. He knew that it must have been the delivery guys. He wanted to make sure that they wouldn't see him in his current state.

They continued to play while the worker brought everything inside. He could hear them going back and forth. They probably were taking apart his bed. After a little while Matt felt the need to pee. The apple juice had made its way through his system. He tried to pinch his legs together, but the diaper wouldn't let him. He tried for a bit to ignore it, but the pressure was really building up. He had to do something. He got up and went towards the door and peeked out into the hallway.

"Where you going?" Cam asked.

"I just wanted to check out what they were doing." Matt said. His answer satisfied his brother who went back to playing the game. Matt saw that the coast was clear. It was now he never. He quickly ran across the hall into the bathroom. Success. Now all he had to do was untape the diaper and he could use the toil...............

"MATHER RICHARD KEETH. What do you think you are doing young man." His mom stood in the doorway of the bathroom with her hands on her hips tapping her foot.

Matt almost peed himself out of fright. "I..I..I..I"

His mom cut his stammering off. "Am I going to have to put locks on the bathroom doors?"

"No." Matt said looking down feeling ashamed. His mother hardly ever yelled at them. When she did he knew he really messed up.

You're going to go back into Cam's room and I don't want to see you leave that room till I come get you.

"Okay."

"Okay, what?"

"Okay, mom" He said blushing a deep red.

"No, little boys who can't follow directions call their moms mommy."

"Okay, mommy." He said tears starting to form in his eyes.

She felt bad for how harsh she was with him. She may have gone too far, but she needed him to know that trying to be slick and circumventing the rules wouldn't slide with her. She took him by the hand without saying anything and led him out of the bathroom. One of the workers was walking by and he teased "Oh no, did someone try to use the big boy potty."

Matt just looked down sniffling trying to hold back tears.

The guy continued "I got a few little ones myself. You know they are ready for potty training when they start to get interested in the toilet."

"Oh no we aren't quite at that point yet." She could tell Matt wanted to just melt into the floor. She wanted to just get him back into Cam's room.

"Yeah I hear you. When they do start potty training you'll wish they were back in diapers, so much simpler. Although once you get through it and they are using the bathroom on their own. Heaven."

"Heh, yeah. I've already got one potty trained." She said and moving Matt to Cam's door. The man saw that Matt was still upset so he let them be and continued on to moving part of Matt's bed frame out of his room. She opened the door and gently patted Matt's diapered bottom. Without saying anything he went into the room where Cam was still fixated on the TV. "Cam, can you come here a minute." The way Cam's head shot around she could tell he thought he was in a lot of trouble. Especially after he saw his brother sniffling with tears rolling down his face. He got up and came to her. She pulled him out into the hallway and closed the door.

"What is it mom?" He asked, trying to sound innocent.

She kneeled down so she was on his level. "He's your little brother now. You can't just let him wander off alone. Even in the house."

Cam quickly responded, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know I was suppose to watch him."

"I know sweety. You're not in trouble. I'm telling you now. Don't think of him as your eight year old, older brother. Think him as your two year old baby brother. You wouldn't let a two year old wander off alone would you?"

"No. I won't let him out of my sight mom. I promise."

"Thank you, honey. It's gonna be your job to keep him out of trouble. It's also partially your job to help comfort him. I think he could do with some comforting by his older brother now." She opened his door back up and could see Matt was sitting criss cross style with his back to her. She could still hear him sniffling. She wanted to be the one to comfort him, but thought it would send mixed signals. Besides, it would be good if Cam started falling into the older brother role.

Cam walked over to his brother as his mom shut the door behind him. Cam asked him "Are you alright?"

Matt said though sniffles "No...She yelled at me."

Cam got down on his brothers level and hugged him rubbing his back saying "It's okay. She was just afraid you would get hurt."

His brother cried into his shoulder "I'm...s..so...ss..sorry...I..I..got you in tr...uble."

Cam just hugged his brother pulling him partially into his lap as he tried to rock him. He couldn't really rock him with how they were hugging so they just ended up swaying as Matt broke down into his shoulder. Cam just kept rubbing his back as he thought about how his mom was right. He supposed Matt was his baby brother now. He looked down at his still crying brother and thought how he needed to look out for him. When he looked down he also realized his question was finally answered. It turns blue.  

QUESTION:

Dumb question. How did I edit the title of the topic? I want to be able to put the newest chapter and date I last edited it in parentheses at the end of the the tittle as I go.

I like where this is going and hope you update soon ( :

[vended]

His stated age is quite a stretch to the suspension of incredulity. I think you would have been better off making him six. Otherwise, it's a well written story. I'm looking forward reading more of it. :]
