Chapter 6: Journey to the Cabin

Kyle took his mother’s hand as she led him out of the restroom back into the main room of the daycare, she was carrying his colorful baby bag on one shoulder and was carrying his dirty diaper in her other hand. He noticed the strong smell of baby powder and was embarrassed to realize he was contributing to the scent in the air. All things considered he figured it was a much better alternative to the smell he was giving off before.

As they entered the main room of Daycare to join Candice and Karly, Karen asked “Hey Candice, did you manage to find the diaper pail? I felt bad tossing this in the regular trash can?”

“Oh yah that’s a good call – you could have stunk up that restroom for days. Its right over there next to the changing tables” Candice answered. 

“Perfect” Karen responded letting go of Kyle’s hand walking swiftly over to the side of the changing tables to dispose of Kyle’s embarrassing mess. 

It sort of hit Kyle in that moment what he’d done and how childish it made him feel with all the fuss around cleaning him up. Yet without any alternative, he decided to let it go for now and try not to worry too much. I mean that was a fluke accident, he’d wouldn’t find himself in a poopy diaper again – he thought to himself.

He noticed Karly was on her knees over by the window looking through the cubbies full of toys. “Mommy look at all this stuffs, I want to play with the dollies! They haves so many!” She pleaded glancing up to Candice with puppy dog eyes.

Candice walked over to her and picked her up, “Aww I’m sorry sweetheart you heard Darlene – no playing right now we need to get into our rooms. Don’t worry you’ll be able to come back tomorrow for lots of fun!” She walked Karly over to her stroller to get her settled in her seat as the girl looked over her mother’s shoulder longingly staring at all the toys.

Kyle was wandering timidly through the middle of the room, observing the surroundings, and grappling with the fact he may be spending time in this room during their stay at Black Bear this summer. He hoped he wouldn’t be forced to spend his summer playing with dolls – he thought to himself. His eyes began to scan the toys along the window line, he did notice some large lego blocks that at least looked somewhat interesting, Kyle had always loved to build things and models were a hobby of his.

As Candice got Karly buckled in and then turned her attention to Karen who’d finished disposing of Kyle’s diaper and was looking at some of the rules titled “POTTY POLICY” which was printed in colorful lettering above the changing table. “How’s your first messy diaper change go Karen? I’m sure that was one serious clean up!” She said in a chuckle.

Karen broke her attention from reading to respond “Oh you know it wasn’t so bad, Kyle was extra good for me holding still and listening. It’s not my first, but it’s been a while! You know just like riding a bike!” She laughed. 

“You’re a trooper!” Candice said in response. She began wheeling Karly toward the exit with Karen following behind her. She noticed Kyle standing by the cubbies looking through the toys and approached him from behind

Suddenly Kyle felt a swift pat on his bottom as Candice chimed “Ooo did you find something fun baby? Like a told Karly, its not playtime now – we’re just in here to get you two cleaned up. Don’t worry they’ll be here tomorrow.” She said sweetly.

Kyle looked at her and blushed, “I wasn’t really looking, just kind of zoning out” he responded to her nervously. “Aww its okay she said, you don’t have to be embarrassed about wanting to play with toys” she said cheerfully. “I bet you feel a lot better being in a clean diaper now huh?” She added as she patted him again on his diaper.

“Uh yah, its ummm a lot better I guess” Kyle said sheepishly. “Aww I’m so glad you’re all fresh and comfy – you don’t want to get a rash” Candice said.

Karen chimed in from behind “And you smell a whole lot better too!” Karen said as she approached Kyle and taking his hand. “Now its time we go get our keys, I’m sure our rooms are ready! Let’s go!” 

Kyle complied and walked holding his mother hand as the 4 of them exited the room. They made their way back to the main lodge area. As the entered, Kyle could see through the glass double doors to the lounge area on the left of the main cabin, it had a sign on it saying, “adults only”. He imagined his sister was having fun socializing in there, probably talking to boys in an attempt to start sizing out her potential for a summer fling. 

They continued into the grand lobby area by the front desk. The woman behind the counter waived at them “Did we get these two all freshened up? I hope you didn’t have any trouble finding things and enjoyed the facility. We’re very proud of Little Cubs Den – it’s a special place and I hope it met your expectations!” She said cheerfully.

Karen responded “Absolutely! Thank you so much for offering to let us in, it was exactly what we needed!” 

“Well I’m so glad I could help, it seemed the children were definitely in need of new pampers. Your timing is perfect by the way, we just got word your rooms are ready. Darlene has already segmented the luggage and left a few minutes ago to store in your rooms. She’ll be back with the golf cart shortly to take you over to the cabins!” the lady responded. 

“Oh wonderful! We are really excited to get settled in so we can come back to the dining room for dinner, its still at 5 PM correct?” Karen said.

“You are correct tonight is one of my favorites, fresh made chicken pot pies, summer salad, and grilled vegetables. And of course we always have the fun junk food for the kiddies, Chicken fingers, mac n cheese and the like. Just sit tight and don’t wander far. She will come and get y’all soon!”

“Alrighty that sounds wonderful! I’ll go grab Kayla from the lounge.” Karen said I response. 

She turned to Kyle, “Okay honey – I’m going to go get your big sister. Now I want you to wait here patiently and be good for Candice, I’ll be back in a quick minute.”

Kyle nodded and blushed “Okay mom, jeez you know I’m not actually a toddler right?” Kyle said in protest of the way she was speaking to him. Karen swiftly shot down his response, speaking in a quiet stern voice “Baby I’ll speak to you how I feel is appropriate, pretty sure I just changed your messy diaper, so I suggest you just go with the flow here okay and you know the rules – you need to listen. Next time there is back talking, we’ll be assessing punishments, okay?”

Kyle looked at the floor and nodded his head. “That’s a good boy” Karen said “now I want you to hold onto the stroller so you don’t wander off, Candice will keep an eye on you, I’ll be back” she added as she walked away toward the lounge. 

Kyle shifted awkwardly back and forth as he waited in the room – feeling his fresh padding between his legs. He was more aware of his current state of appearance as he did his best to be invisible. No doubt he caught a couple glances from guests as they walked through the lobby, but no unusual stares – it seemed people may have been mistaking him for a larger child, however he couldn’t be sure.  

All of sudden his train of thought was broken as heard Darlene’s voice in the distance. “Well there is my favorite little family! Y’all ready to go!” she said as she approached them in the middle of the lobby. 

Candice responded as Kyle tried desperately to not make eye contact. “Oh yes! Karen will be back in a few seconds with Kayla, they’re in the lounge. Thank you again for helping us earlier – these two were in desperate need.” She said cheerfully.

“Oh no problem at all! We can’t have kidos hanging out in messy diapers all day, I’m always happy to help out a little one in need!” she said playfully.

Darlene then turned to Kyle who was still looking at the floor. She crouched down to say hello “Aww you’re a shy one isn’t you.” She said to him in a sing song voice. “Well cheer up – you’re gonna have the best summer ever! I promise you’re going to love kids camp and little cubs” she said sweetly. 

Kyle forced a smile, wanting to appease the girl “I, I’m just sleepy is all” he said to excuse his sluggish demeanor. 

“aww that’s okay buddy, I’m sure you had a long day. Don’t worry you’ll be all cozy in your room here soon.” She added as she stood back up ruffled Kyle’s hair. It was then that she noticed Kyle had two wristbands on – a blue teen band and the familiar little cubs rainbow band.

She obviously knew all of the 5 wrist bands at the park. There was:

-       The rainbow band, which signaled they guest was required to be under adult supervision while on the grounds at all times and were restricted to little cubs activities, but more specifically that band meant the camper wasn’t potty trained.

-       The orange band was for campers 2 to 7, which meant they needed to be supervised and were restricted to Little Cubs activities but they were fully potty trained.

-       The yellow band was for campers 8-12 , which essentially meant they were allowed at the sports courts and on the general grounds on their own but still needed adult supervision at the pools and for water sports.

-       The blue band, which meant the camper was between the ages of 13 and 20 – which qualified them for sleepover camping, horseback riding, water sports, team sports and all the various activites they had on the grounds for teenagers. They were not required to be under supervision outside of water sports and stable games. 

-       And lastly the Green Band which was for 21+ adults.

She was a bit confused by this and her initial confusion with Kyle was somewhat explained. She’d thought the boy might have been 5 or 6 based on his outfit but thought he was more the size of an 8- or 9-year-old. She couldn’t believe this boy was a teenager and was even further flabbergasted by the fact that he still was not potty trained. 

She wasn’t one to judge and, in her experience, knew all kids grew up at a different pace, but this seemed very unusual. In that moment though – she was extremely sympathetic for the boy and was determined to make sure he was protected from any ridicule or any uncomfortable situations. She had some ideas and thought she bring them up to Karen when time permitted.

Kayla and Karen approached the group from behind. “Okay - we’re here and ready to go, I think we’re all excited to see the inside of our rooms and unpack!” She said excitedly.

“Oh yah that is for sure, we’ve got a lot of work to do before dinner - two littles one always require a whole lot of luggage!” Candice said echoing Karen’s sentiment.

“I’ll say - it took me quite a while to get all your bags settled, hard part is done though - y”all just need to put everything away and get these tykes ready for dinner.” Darlene chimed in. “Now if you will please follow me, your chariot awaits. Miss - you can just leave this ones stroller here in the lobby over by the side of the door, I’ll swing back and get it with my luggage cart”. she said as she then waived them along to follow her out to the golf cart.

As they began to follow Darlene out to the golf cart, Kayla came up behind Kyle, “heya little bro - feeling better?” She said positively. Kyle looked up at his sister with a half smile, “ummm yah definitely, just want to get in the room now so I can relax, all this public exposure has… has all been a lot” he answered sincerely. “Awww I”m that’s alright little dude, well here hold my hand and we can sit in the cart together, I”ll protect you” she said to encourage him.

He hesitantly took his sister’s hand, not enthused by her insistence in talking to him like he was a 4-year-old. Still, as much as Kyle resented some of his sister’s success, she still was one of his favorite people and he was relieved that she was going to be there with him through this strange and somewhat torturous experiment his mother and Candice were putting him through. He continued to be lead by his sister through the lobby toward the large 3 row golf cart at the main lodge entrance.

“Middle seat!” Kayla called out as she darted toward the cart dragging Kyle behind her, he struggled to keep up, due to his forced waddle caused his extra padding, which is was still getting used to. They all piled into the cart, with Karen taking the front seat and Candice in the back row settling Karly into her arms on her lap. Darlene turned on the engine announcing, “okay team, we all settled!” The three women all answered back “you bet!” “Well alrighty then, hold on tight, here we go!” She said as she took off away from the main lodge.

They meandered down the main road for a few seconds and then veered left off onto the cart path which lead to the family cabins. Kyle was surprised since they were usually in a different location, this was a lot closer to the sport courts and water. As they went down the tree lined road, Kyle was preoccupied trying to take account of his surroundings. While he was familiar with Black Bear, he hadn’t stayed on this side of the compound since he was a baby; typically his parents get a junior cabin, which is just 2 beds, where he would share a room with Kayla.

As they were moving along they hit a clearance in the tree line, exposing a large grassy field, about half the size of a football field that lead all the way to the shoreline. Kyle now had some familiarity with where they were. He saw a few people playing volleyball by the water and a couple of older kids playing soccer. Then he noticed a large colorful tarp waving up in the air with small children running around and probably 5 staff members accompanying the roughly 15 or 20 kids. Kyle was unsure of what it was so, he thought to make some conversation he’d ask Darlene.

 

“Hey Darlene, what’s that?” Kyle asked cautiously pointing with his free hand to the children playing. “Oh they’re playing parachute buddy! It’s soooo fun. We do it every other day. Does it look fun?” Kyle responded timidly ‘uh I don’t know, just wasn’t sure what it was.”

“Awww well everyone loves that one, we’ll be sure to show you how to play. It’s typically a Little Cubs activity - we’ll make sure you get to try it out!” Darlene said assuredly. Darlene was still a bit unsure what Kyle’s situation was and she had some thoughts she wanted to make sure she shared with Karen later on. 

Kyle blushed, as realized how silly he must of sounded, being excited for the game reserved for the babies. He was also hit with the realization, that he was in fact not only going to be enrolled at kids camp, but he was actually going to be… at least partially… forced to be a part of little cubs, a glorified daycare. He just hoped he’d be spared from being teased albeit he didn’t see how that would be possible.  

They kept going along the cart path for a little while longer until the began to slow down approaching a beautiful cherrywood log cottage. “Alrighty gang, here we are at Cabin number 23 – this is the deluxe one which I believe is for the Connors. Oh and don’t worry Candice, you and Karly are in number 25 – its just around the corner!” Darlene said as the pulled up to the front of the cabin. 

“Oh its just splendid. Can’t wait to get inside and look around!” Karen said excitedly as she started to exit the golf cart. She then turned to Darlene and slipped her a $20 tip saying, “thank you so much for taking such good care of us Darlene, you’re a real pro.” Darlene thanked her and responded, “no problem mam, its my pleasure.” She then added “Hey after I drop off Candice and take care of a few other guests, would you mind if I swung by here in 20 minutes to chat with you about Kids Camp?” she said quietly so Kyle wouldn’t here. Karen was a bit surprised but welcomed the discussion “No problem! Just knock on the door and we can catch up” 

Kayla and Kyle hopped out of the golf cart as there mother was tipping Darlene, both excited to see their new home for the next three weeks. “Alrighty you little stinker – I’ll race you to the front door!” Kayla said to Kyle. Kyle was happy to be challenged to something for first time this trip, responding quickly “You’re on!” as he sprinted (or waddled) as fast as he could toward the front steps of the cabin. 

Kayla with her long stride and being a natural athlete, quickly ran after him, pacing in front of him after a few quick steps. Kyle stumbled as he began up the steps, his stride throttled by the thickness of his diaper, he miscalculated the height of the last step catching the top of his shoe on the lip and falling hard forward tumbling down hitting the floor of the patio with a large thud. 

His sister stopped and turned around after she reached the locked door, to see her brother on the floor. She quickly bent down to pick him up and assess if he was hurt “Oh little bro, are you okay!” she said worriedly. Kyle was beyond embarrassed to have fallen so hard. He’d luckily broken his fall with his hands and elbows. As he began to try to get up he felt the stinging abrasions on the inside of his palms and could see his elbow was a bit scratched. “Owwwwweeeee ugh” he murmured as he let his sister help him to his feet. 

Karen has heard the commotion and was swiftly walking toward her children “Kayla you need to be more careful with your brother! He could of gotten really hurt!” Karen said to her daughter, not all pleased. “Honey are you okay? Do you have a booboo?” She said as she turned to Kyle. He responded, “its okay mom, we were just having fun, I think I’m okay just a little scratched.”

“Well I’m glad it wasn’t too bad but let’s go put some Neosporin on it to be safe, I have some in your diaper bag.” Karen said as she took Kyle by the hand and with her other went to go unlock the front door to the cabin. Kyle winced once again at the word diaper bag and was curious to find out what other embarrassing situations awaited him.

 

Chapter 7: Deluxe Family Cabin

They entered the cabin quickly, with Karen dragging Kyle to the bathroom to the common bathroom to attend to his injury. As she was taking care of Kyle, Kayla took the opportunity to glance around the cabin. It was a large main room with a couch table, chairs and big fireplace. Beyond this was a wet bar, mini fridge, and a high-top dining table.

She noticed around the table were 4 high top chairs with tall arm rests. As she went around the wet bar to check out the mini fridge, she noticed a large plastic U shaped tray. She picked it up to examine it and then only realized after that behind it was a booster seat. She realized that this was an attachment to transform one of the dining chairs into a highchair.

Playing around, she grabbed it, walked over the dining table and fitted it onto the chair. No doubt this would easily accommodate Kyle. She left it on to see if him or his mother would notice. 

“Alrighty now you’re all okay baby, let’s get unpacked!” Kayle heard his mom say as she washed her hands exiting the bathroom. “Hey guys! Look what I found!” Kayla said as she presented the high chair to her mom and brother!

Karen was delighted and a bit surprised by the site “Oh wow I didn’t know it came with one of those, well that will make breakfast time a bit more fun!” she said gleefully. Kyle was not at all enthused by this and quickly protested “Mom I don’t actually have to sit in that do I? I’m not a real baby!” he said frustratedly. 

“Well let’s see how the first few days go, but I think in the beginning it’ll be fun to try it out. Can you do that for me baby?” she said sweetly.

“whatever I guess, just as long as its not for the whole time.” He said begrudgingly.  “that’s my sweet boy” she said. “Now let’s get everyone in there rooms. Kayla I trust you can unpack yourself – your room is over by the door on the right. I’m over here in the back right and your brother is right over here in the back left. 

“Definitely mom! You take care of Kyle and I’ll get all situated” Kayla responded while grabbing her bag from the large pile of luggage on the floor and heading to her room. “Okie dokie, well now Kyle let’s go explore your little room” she said excitedly. She went to grab his large mickey mouse luggage, along with his Hilda bag and lead him by the hand to the back of the room. 

He noticed on the outside of his door was a picture of a sleeping baby bear, tucked into bed with a half crescent moon above its head, it screamed nursery and he was now very nervous to see what awaited him on the other side of the door. His mother opened the room leading him inside, saying “Okie dokie cutie, this is your special room for the next few weeks.” 

Kyle was taken back by what he saw. There was no doubt that this was in fact a nursery. The first thing he noticed was the twin sized toddler daybed in the left corner of the room. The bed was painted white with large sides across the head, foot and side closest to the wall. It was about 3 ft off the ground and the bottom was covered by a dressing, he suspected there was perhaps a trundle underneath. To top things off, hung from the ceiling was a forest themed mobile, with little trees, stars and a moon that seemed to be spinning freely above the bed. 

As he walked deeper into the room toward the back, he saw he had his own bathroom in the far right hand corner toward the back of the room. It was then that he noticed, on the wall opposite to the bed toward the door was a long dresser with a flush padded top. Then his eyes glanced to the open cubbies underneath the top where he saw diapers, powder and baby wipes. It was then he realized this was a changing table. 

He then noticed how babyish the décor was. The walls were a pastel blue with cartoon forest animals lining the moldings. There was a large white rocking chair in the right hand corner of the room by the door. The large centerpiece carpet patterned with little roads in the forest, that was clearly a playmat for children. Even the art on the walls was all baby themed, one dawning a sleeping baby bear cub, another of a baby deer with her mother and one of a stork holding a baby which was above the changing table.

He was speechless in that moment, but his mother broker his silence “This is so amazing, even better than how they described it. I hope you like it baby, I know it’s going to take some getting used to but it’s for the best.” Karen said to Kyle encouragingly. Kyle in an effort to be a good sport and not create any tension, just responded saying “uh yah mom, its pretty nice a bit much but seems comfortable enough” he said with a smile. “Aww I’m glad you like it sweetie! We’re going to have lots of fun in here. Now speaking of fun – let’s get you something out of your bag to play with while I get everything unpacked, you just take a little seat on the floor for me!”

Kyle without thinking of anything else, sat down on the floor. He felt so small in that moment as his Mother was racing around his room beginning to organize and unpack his bag. “Well here we are, this will be fun for you. Why don’t you check this out!” Karen said as she went to hand him a cloth bag that sounded like something plastic was shaking around on the inside. 

“Uh okay, thanks mom” Kyle said taking the bag. He realized the side of the bag said toys on it. As he opened it up he was disappointed to see that he was provided with an assortment of plastic trucks, large hot wheel cars, some mega blocks, and a few small stuffed animals. Not wanting to just sit there in that moment, he took out all of toys and began to organize them in a formation on the floor.

He quickly found himself moving the truck around, trying to find the right spot for it. The floor mat in his room, was actually designed for this type of play and Kyle began to get distracted, organizing his little city out on the play mat losing track of the time as his mother continued to run around organizing the house. After zoning out for a moment, he suddenly heard his mother come back from being in the kitchen a moment “Awww is someone having fun?” she asked candidly. 

“Uhhh yah kinda I guess, I’m just trying to place these in the right areas.” Kyle said abashedly. 

“Aww well I’m sure there will be more time for that soon. I’ve got you all put away, now I need to do a few of my things and get ready for dinner. You’ve had a very long day, so I want you to lay down for a little while okay.” Kyle’s mother said with her hands on her hips staring down at Kyle with a smiling face. “Doesn’t a little rest sound good honey” She asked

“Ummm I’m not that sleepy mom, can I just watch my Amazon Fire for a little while you organize.” Kyle pleaded. “You’ve watched that all day cutie, I want you to get up in bed here and close your eyes for me. Its just a quick 30-minute nap before dinner okay. Kayla is in the shower and there is no one to watch you right now.”

“Alright I guess I could use a bit of rest.” Kyle finally agreed. “That’s my boy” Karen said as she grabbed both of Kyle’s hands helping him off the ground and leaded him over the side of his new bed. She sat him down, removed his shoes and then undid the straps of his short-alls. “We’ll just let you nap in your diaper and your t-shirt right now.” She said in a sing song voice as she removed his short-alls and gave him a little tap on his nose.

She then guided him to lay down on the bed and then moved across the room to grab something from the table across the room. She returned holding his bear, a blanket and something else in her hand “Okay my sweetheart, its naptime – so you be a good boy and go sleepy for me.” She fluffed out the blanket over Kyle and then handed him his little bear which he accepted as she tucked it into his arms. 

Then to Kyle’s dismay, she sat down on the side of the bed and presented him with a baby bottle of milk, “Now honey we’ve still got some rules we need to go over, one of them that is supposed to be a big part of this is routine. You will be taking a bottle whenever you go sleepy. I wanted to get you used to this. I only filled this one about halfway, but I want you to finish this for me okay?” Karen said to him in a sweet but serious tone. 

“aww mom do I have to?” Kyle said pleading with his mother as if this was a step to far. “Yes darling you have to, now I better see this all gone when I come get you up in a half hour – am I clear cutie?”

“Yes mom” Kyle said. “That a good boy” Karen responded as she took the bottle and guided it into Kyle’s mouth. “There you go baby, now drink up.” Karen waited for a moment holding the bottle in his mouth waiting for him to begin sucking at the sweet milk. Kyle reluctantly complied with his mother and started to nurse at the bottle, with his face getting flush at the thought of his embarrassing situation. “Alrighty baby you hold on to this tight okay and don’t stop sucking on it until you finish it all up for mommy.” Karen said as she guided his hand to the bottle and gave him a kiss on the check. 

As she stood up, she reached down to the side of the bed, flipped over a cover, and then lifted up a side rail that Kyle hadn’t seen before. It went up about three feet and transformed the already childish bed into essentially a crib. Kyle was not pleased but didn’t dare take the bottle out of his mouth to protect, he know it would result in a major punishment. Kyle’s mother leaned over the side of the rail looking down at her baby “Now there is two-way monitor from this room to my room, if you need me, you just say so and I’ll be in here before you know it okay sweetheart.” Kyle just nodded at his mother, absolutely paralyzed by embarrassment, and sat there bewildered by how he ended up in this situation. 

His mother left the room and flipped on the nursery chime which began to hum gentle lullaby music, she then turned off the lights and left the room saying, “rest well little one, I’ll come get you in just a little bit”. as she shut the door. 

Kyle was left to his own devices, staring at the mobile spinning above and sucking his bottle obediently. To his surprise, the rhythm of everything and the long day got the best of him, causing him to drift off to sleep. 

 

Karen was very satisfied with how things were going. Kyle seemed to be taking to his treatment rather well and everyone had been so supportive so far. They’d basically made it up to the resort with only one extreme mishap, which although a big one – she figured it was a part of the whole experience of being and his treatment, so she was not actually surprised. She figured the laxative in his breakfast was a bit of an extreme step, but she was trusting Candice and knew it was a part of getting Kyle to understand, he was not in control in this moment and that was okay. That messing up was okay and sometimes you just can’t help it.

She continued to ponder her thoughts and layout some different outfits as she heard a knock on their front door. She quickly went out to greet her visitor and saw that it was Darlene, she totally forgot she was going to come by to talk. She opened the door to welcome her. “Hey there Darlene! I totally spaced that you were coming by, what was it you wanted to talk about?” Karen asked as she greeted her.

“Oh you know I just wanted to go over a few things about kids camp, would you mind if we talked outside for a few minutes?” Darlene said a bit timidly but in her usual cheerful tone. “No problem.” Karen said. She was a bit nervous but relieved in the same way, she didn’t know exactly what to expect for Kyle and wanted him to have the best experience possible.

They went outside and sat on the front patio bench. Darlene began “So Mrs. Connors just to explain - myself, a lovely girl named Candy and then Mrs. Butterfeld are the main leaders for Little Cubs, which is the under 7 category of kids camp, I run the inside time with Mrs. Butterfeld most days, except today since they had extended outdoor hours.” Karen nodded as she let Darlene continue.

“So anyway – I’m pretty experienced with the whole thing and I wanted to chat with you about Kyle to make sure we can get him the best experience possible. You see I saw he had the blue wrist band and the rainbow wristband on today. Honestly, I didn’t even need to see the rainbow wristband, as his diaper was rather obvious when you arrived, and I could tell he had a messy accident earlier…” 

Karen nodded and was a bit perturbed by her comment but not at all surprised. Darlene went on “I totally am probably stepping outside the lines here but I just want to help make this work. Is it okay if I ask - is Kyle in diapers 24/7?” she asked nervously.

Karen nodded her head and responded with a smile, “well you know he has just been having a tough time with the potty lately. Honestly, I don’t know where it came from but the past few weeks we’ve had so many accidents, it was time we did something about it. So I had to put him on a potty training regiment. He is doing okay but as you could see today – he had a pretty serious accident on the way up here.” she said calmly and then continued.

“In fact his current program isn’t too far off from what I saw y’all do at Little Cubs. Outside of sleepy time and long trips – he is going to be wearing pull ups. He needs to tell someone when he needs to go and they’ll take him to mark his progress. If he has an accident, he has to go back to diapers for the rest of the day. He’s been on it for a few weeks and I wish I could say he was making more progress.” Karen said. She knew she was fibbing a little about the length of his issues but she didn’t want it to seem like this all happened today. 

Darlene looked at her with attention nodding her head saying “I see – well bless your heart for your patience. So from what I’m hearing he has been having a lot of accidents? Is he good about letting you know when he needs a new diaper or pull up? Does he ever change his own pull ups or diaper? I just want to understand better…” Darlene said nervously.

At this moment, Karen felt she needed to give Darlene a bit more to work with, so she spun the situation the best she could “Well to go further, mentally Kyle is a 100% with it, he is a very smart boy when he puts his mind to things but he has a knack for losing attention. Emotionally, socially and in many ways physically however – he has been a very very late bloomer. In recent months, along with the potty problems. He’s been, well to put it bluntly – showing numerous signs of regression.”

Darlene listened attentively as Karen continued “to answer your question, he is not the best at owning up to his accidents and we’ve found that if he is left to his own devices with his padding, we end up with wet and messy pants. That is why I ended up going with a program that was more suited for… well a toddler than a teenager. As things have gone on, Kyle has seemed to become attached to some other regressive behavior and unfortunately yes – he has been having more accidents and been in diapers more frequently the past week or so.” Karen said as she continued to go on. 

“My friend Candice is a renowned children’s psychologist and my colleague at Dartmouth. She’s been working on a study recently and experimental therapy that she felt would be positive for Kyle. Both from a practical standpoint since he was having potty issues and also from psychological standpoint.”

Karen then went on to explain to Darlene the theory behind the treatment and how Kyle’s been responding positively to things the past few days. She didn’t want to divulge that they had just launched this plan. Darlene seemed to grasp her thoughts and was actually really engaged by the discussion and the idea in general.

“I know it may all seem a bit odd, but we think it is really the best thing for Kyle” Karen added as she waited for Darlene to respond. 

“You know Mrs. Connors, I’m really impressed and just touched by how dedicated of a parent you are. Not every mom is willing to go the distance like this and show so much love. Well I’ll tell you what – I’m 100% with you guys on this and will do everything I can to make sure Kyle has the absolute best little baby summer ever!” Darlene said.

“aww Darlene that really makes me feel good, I’m so happy somone at Kids Camp is going to be there to look out for Kyle.” Karen said appreciatively.

Darlene then said, “So okay, now that we’ve talked and I understand - here is my suggestion. Look I just don’t want Kyle to get teased any more than he might already. I’ll put a stop to any of it the best I can but you know how kids are. To further avoid this, I really don’t think he should be jumping between groups. At least for the first week, I think we should just keep him in little cubs where he is going to be safe. If he is doing good with the potty, then perhaps we can give him a blue wristband and get him in the other activity groups. From everything you told me, it just seems like Little Cubs makes the most sense and we should be able to accommodate him better there. I just don’t want to see him crying on the soccer field with wet pants is all.”

Karen nodded her head saying “Darlene that does make a lot of sense. Let me talk to Kyle about it tomorrow. I think you’re right but I need to think about it and let Kyle make a choice on this as well. We’ll see how things evolve tomorrow and go from there. I just feel so much better that you’re aware of my little boys issues and are willing to help take care of him. Thank you so much for coming by to talk.” 

“Oh of course and that sounds like an awesome plan. Well we look forward to seeing the kidos tomorrow! Feel free to come by the center in the morning if you want to chat before and get him all situated! See you soon!” Darlene answered as she gave Karen a quick hug and skipped off toward her golf cart. 

Karen walked slowly back in the cabin. She felt a little bad about bending the truth in different direction during their discussion, but she decided she was more honest than not with her. She was so happy that Darlene was on board. Now she just needed to figure out if Kyle was going to be willing to give up all his big boy privileges – that would be a big step and she wasn’t sure she’d be able to convince him on day one. She decided she chat with him about it during bath time but right now she needed to get her little boy up and ready for din din.

To Be Continued.

Great chapters ! Now this explain why Kyle already messed his diaper ! Now I want to see what gonna happen when his mommy say that his big boy privilege is gonna be taken away

[Diapeered]

I like that Darlene is looking out for Kyle and her suggestion is sound, his mother could easily get him to agree with not doing the older kids activities by bringing up that he would be teased and bullied if he went to the activities and either had an accident or someone saw his rainbow wristband as he would have to wear that at all times so staff knew of his potty issues and convince him to remove the blue band so that he doesn’t gain any unwanted attention about being older then the rainbow band suggests.

Maybe the milk he drank had another laxative or even diuretic so that he might have another accident Kyle needs to feel like he isn’t in control of his own potty training so an accident scare could help him accept his situation easier and with all the positive emotional support he will eventually accept things without protesting.

[babyanton]

Great story maybe not give him a choice on the age group he has to be with

 

[GQLF]

Karen should want Kyle to be completely like a shy baby on vacation. I think Kyle and Karly can be as close as possible during baby activities, and Kyle can be regarded as a baby girl, because Kyle is the only person Kyle is familiar with, and their activities together can make Kyle feel safe. Taking Kyle as a baby girl can also make him integrate into the dolls and family activities of Karly and other girls in the day care center. I think it's good for Kyle.

In truth, Kyle messed his diaper because they couldn't stop the car and were too far from the resort.  He might not had messed himself if there was a bathroom available at the time.

[Pierry Louys]

We don’t know since he has taken a laxative in his drink so maybe heheh we never know the important that now he is gonna be a cute a loved toddler boy for his mommy wearing pampers and drink from bottles heheh

That is the only problem I have with this story because it is really good.

[Babyjames5]

I delurked just to say, I love this story and waiting for the next chapter is agonizing. Please keep writing this amazing story!! Thank you in advance for all of your hard work!! 

[Mugi]

I must have missed this story but read all the chapters today.

Really good story Adventurekido, and the fact that it takes place at a camp makes it a bit new, fresh and exciting! I hope Kyles room back home maybe transforms to a similar nursery he is in now before they get back home
I wonder if we will see more regression from him. He seems to have a few small steps into regression!  

Keep up the good work!

[parkintochter]

More please

Delightful story.    Baby girl clothes would motivate him to remain with the toddlers and advance sweet regression.

This is something I don't understand.   This story starts out with a 20 year-old who lacks maturity, and his mother has decided to regress him to deal with regression issues.  With-in the context of the story, it makes sense.  I don't know if the acceptance of his status was fully established.   It just went from you going to wear diapers at night to messing in a diaper- and mom talking to him like a toddler.   But there has never been anything that hinted that he would accept baby girl clothes- or that would be something anybody in the story was ready for.

Agree. Not every story here needs to be literature, and every story here requires the suspension of disbelief. If folks don’t have anything nice to say, they shouldn’t say anything at all unless the author asks for feedback.

I, for one, am enjoying his story and hope the author continues it no matter what the peanut gallery says.

More like anyone who feels the need to point it out publicly without being asked to. If people can’t help themselves, they can DM. If the community wants people to keep writing and getting better, it can’t discourage them in such an embarrassing way. Writing takes practice, and nothing stops a person from practicing like being told they’re not perfect when they’ve barely begun.

 

What about all the things this author does well? His dialogue is good. His characters are lovable. He creates situations his readers want to be in. That’s a solid foundation for both the story and the author.

Thank you Alex this is one of the reasons I stopped posting on this site. The post I received from a story I wrote years ago was not helpful if was nasty. I have not written a story since. I have written for myself. When you are a new writer you want help with it not hurtful comments. ?

Hi Everyone - finally found sometime to get the next chapter up. Really excited for Chapter 9 / 10 but its a long one and is going to take me some time. Thanks to everyone who is reading

 

Chapter 8: Dinner and a Bath

 

Karen was pacing around still working on herself and getting things organized. She glanced at the clock and to her surprise she saw it was already 15 minutes past 5 o’clock. Realizing she needed to hurry up, she called out Kayla for assistance.

“Kayla, honey! Are you ready for dinner?” she said inquisitively

Kayla heard her mother, got up from sitting on her bed where she was texting on her phone and came out to respond to her mother.

Rounding the door she said, “All ready mom, we going soon?”

“Yes – I just need to finish getting ready and put some things away. Can you go get your little brother up from his room and get him ready to go. Just put a new shirt on him with his shortalls from today, he’ll be fine in that for now and we’re only going for a little while.” She asked kindly

“Ugh – alright, does look like you need to get ready. I’ll go wake the BABY and get him all cute for dinner!” Kayle responded with a laugh and a smile.

“Thank you sweetie, I’ll be ready in 10 minutes and then we can head to the lodge, I know we’re all starving” Karen said graciously.

Kayla proceeded to Kyle’s room, quietly opening his door and popping her head into the room. She was stunned to see her little brother peacefully snoozing in what could only be described as a baby nursery. She flipped on the lights and took note of the bright colors that enveloped the room. There was her brother laying down in nothing but a diaper and T-shirt, sleeping in a toddler crib with an empty baby bottle next to his head. 

She stood next to the railing and reached down to brush the side of her brothers hair in order to wake him. “Hey little cutie – it time to wakey wakey – we gotta go to din din!?” she said softly 

Kyle stirred and slowly opened his eyes, surprised by the view of his beautiful sister’s eyes staring down into his with vantage point of the crib rail in view. He was hopelessly embarrassed but forced himself to respond “Hi hi sis – umm yah can’t believe I actually fell asleep, I’m super hungry – can you help get me out of here?” he said sheepishly

“Sure thing little brother!” Kayla said

 

She proceeded to pop the sides of the railings and lowered the side down. Kyle had kicked off his blankets and was starting to sit up in order to shuffle to the side of the bed.

 

“ah ah ah Kyle – we need to check that diaper of yours first” Kayla said with a devilish smile making Kyle blush.

 

“Gosh Kayla – I was asleep for like 40 minutes I didn’t have an accid…” Kyle stopped as he felt the familiar squish underneath him giving him the confirmation that he had indeed wet himself.

 

“Well we’ll see about that won’t we!” Kayla said skeptically as she reached inside the side of his diaper. She felt the wetness immediately

 

Waving her finger in front of her brother “tisk tisk You’re soaked buddy, its not good to tell fibs like that” she said in a disappointed but sarcastic tone. 

 

Kyle lowered his head and stared at the floor, not wanting to face the reality of the moment. Kayla got up quickly walked to the door then yelled out “Hey mom – Kyle has a wet diaper - do I have to change him?” she said

 

Karen responded loudly from her room, “Yes honey can you take care of that real quick for me, it would be a huge help!”

 

“Ugh – okay” she responded turning to walk over to her brother. “alright buddy this is the first for us in a very long time, but let’s just get this over with” she said while taking his hand. He nodded as she pulled him over to the changing table.

 

She guided him toward the step stool in front of the table, holding his hand to keep his balance as he shamefully climbed up to settle on the padded top.

 

“This is ridiculous…” he muttered under his breath as he laid back on to the table closing his eyes shut in an attempt to not commit this moment to memory.

 

“Well little brother, we wouldn’t need to do this if you could keep your pants dry for longer than an hour, its clear that mom’s decision to go back to diapers was a good one.” Kayla said in almost a whisper as she reached down below the table to gather her supplies. 

 

“Wow look at how cute these are!” Kayla gushed

 

Kyle opened his eyes to see what she was talking about. She was waiving a white diaper at him with a large strips across the top front which was patterned in a light pastel blue background with airplanes and kites flying across. 

“OMG where on earth did those even come from!” Kyle said in a huff, closing his eyes in response to his infantile garment. 

 

“Idk but there adorable. Okay cutie pie, let’s get your butt wiped and into new pampers” Kayla said sweetly. 

 

Kyle endured the embarrassing change as his sister proceeded to untape his used diaper, then lifting his legs to remove it as she begun to liberally wipe his bottom with wipes. 

 

“Keep your legs up for me baby – almost there” Kayla said encouragingly. Kyle just breathed slowly in anticipation of this ending. 

 

She quickly fluffed out the new infantile diaper, tucked it under him and then lowered his legs to fit in position. 

 

“Alright now we have to do the front, I know its sensitive and this is a bit awkward for you buddy but don’t worry honey it’s nothing I haven’t seen before” Kayla said as she began wiping his front, which she was not very comfortable with but was just trying to get through as quickly as possible. 

 

“There we go all clean, almost done just a little powder baby.” She lifted his legs to sprinkled powder on his bottom and then proceeded to lower him down to dust the front. Satisfied with her works, she proceeded to lift up the front of the diaper, pulling it back and forth to make sure it was the perfect fit. 

 

She then began to count the tapes “1 tape, 2 tapes, 3 tapes and… what number is next Kyle” she asked playfully. 

 

“Ugh Kayla can you not, this as embarrassing as it is” Kyle responded begrudgingly

 

She slapped his leg lightly “Kyle what is the next number after 3 baby, I know you can do it” she persisted

 

“Four” Kyle said defeatedly

 

“What a smart boy!” she exclaimed as she secured the last tape and tucked in the sides to make sure he was comfortable. She then began to lightly tickle him

 

“There we go that wasn’t so bad, all dry now and ready to go have fun!” she said excitedly while she tickled his sides and then much to Kyle’s dismay blue a loud raspberry on his stomach – which caused Kyle to involuntarily giggle uncontrollably as he began to sit up trying to put a stop to the embarrassing treatment.

 

“See baby this can be fun! You did such a good job for me. Okay not arms up!” Kayla said cheerfully. Kyle complied as she removed his weathered shirt, threw it in the hamper and then went to his dresser to pull out a new shirt. 

 

She came over and shook out a shirt to show it to Kyle “How about this one cutie?!” she said while holding out a white t-shit with a picture of Hilda on it. Kyle just nodded his head as she approached him to put in on him. After she got him secured in his shortalls per her mothers instructions and slipped on his shoes for him.

 

“All ready to go buddy, you sure look cute, let’s go get some din din!” she said excitedly.

 

Karen walked in at that moment, seeing Kyle sitting on the edge of the changing table with Kayla at his side. “Awww thank you for getting you little brother situated Kayla – you’re such a good big sister.” She said with gratitude. 

 

“No problem momma – Kyle was super good for me. Oh my gosh by the way where did you find those cute diapies in his size!” she asked in response.

 

“Oh yah – they had an amazon stocker option for the kitchen and nursery, on the website. I found these and thought for the price it made a lot of sense, I had to order a whole case though – so we’ve got about 80 of those and then another 50 or so of the mega max – I think that will be enough for 3 weeks” she said with a wink.

 

“I hope so! This little one seems to be going through them pretty quick!” Kayla said with a laugh as she looked over at Kyle who’s face had gone beet red. 

 

“Okay you guys – let’s go before we miss dinner!” she said to her children. 

 

The ten minute walk to the lodge was largely uneventful. Kyle tried his best to ignore the audible crinkle between his legs as he did his best to keep up with his mother who was holding his hand firmly and swiftly pacing to the dining hall. He briefly listened in on Karen and Kayla’s conversation as they made their way along the treelined path. 

 

As he observed the wildlife and the grand beauty around him, Kyle felt small. He truly felt some of his identity as an adult slipping away, as if his current situation was normal and this was simply how things had been. As they got closer to the lodge – he noticed the huge playground off to the side of Little Cubs den. He was surprised by his curiosity and desire to explore it more.

 

He thought about asking to go by to check it out but was too embarrassed to ask. 

 

Before he knew it – they were walking into the main lodge to the dining hall. It wasn’t too crowded, as it was Monday and typically a day where guests were in flux. They quickly found Candice and Karly who were sitting at a table near the front of the large room. Karen walked over next to Karly sitting in her booster seat, instructing Kyle to take the seat next to her.

 

“Hey Karen! You guys get all settled in!” Candice asked cheerfully excited to be reunited.

 

“Yes we did! Kyle went down for a little nap as we unpacked and so we ended up being a little late” Karen replied. 

 

“Oh goodie – little boys need their rest” she said

 

“Do your like your room Kyle? I know Karly’s is super comfy and you even get your own bath!” she asked excitedly.

 

“uhhh yah its okay I guess – a little much but yah its comfortable” he said sheepishly. 

 

“aww I’m glad you like it!” she said. “Well hey we’ve already loaded up here – Kayla and Karen why don’t you go get some food for y’all – I’ll keep an eye on these two little cuties for now” she said.

 

“Thanks Candice – okay we’ll be right back!” Karen said in response. 

 

 

Karen and Kayla were back shortly with three plates of food. Kyle was not surprised when his mother out in front of him a frozen sippier cup, a plate of mac n cheese, with some broccoli and a few chicken tenders. It looked good enough but was jealous of the steaks and pork chops they had on their plates. He noticed that he was not given any silverware.

 

“Hey mom – I need a fork” he said quietly.

 

“Of course sweetheart” His mother said as she started digging around in Kyle’s diaper bag for something. Much to his dismay she presented him with a light blue plastic baby spork.

 

“Here you sweetheart – now I’m giving you this chance for know spills, I’ll save you from the embarrassment of wearing a bib in the dining hall – but if you can’t keep your clothes clean – we’ll need to put your bib on okay” she said

 

“No worries mom – I’ll be extra careful I promise” he said as his face flushed red.

 

“Good boy” she responded.

 

Dinner was fun and they all were chatting casually as if everything was totally casual. They were all just happy to be there. Karly had an early start and was finished quickly – taking the opportunity to color in a book that Candice had brought along for her. Kyle ate slowly – focusing his attention on not spilling his food. As he picked at his plate slowly, he started to inquisitively look at Karly who was sucking on her pacifier and coloring in a picture of spongebob. 

 

He was actually pretty impressed by her ability to stay perfectly in the lines and her color choice was spot on. “Hey Karly that’s a really good picture” he said complementing her work. She beamed at him with excitement saying “Thank ews!” through he pacifier.

 

Candice then said “aww what a nice thing to say – hey if you finish up with your din din, I’ve got another book for you to play with if you want cutie” 

 

“uhhh thanks, I don’t know maybe – I still got a long way to go.” He said in response.

 

Pretty soon everyone was done with their food except for Kyle who had about 25% of his plate remaining – most of it being the broccoli portion of his meal. Karen looking at her watch realized it was 6:45 and she needed to get her baby back to the cabin for a bath and night night. 

 

“Hey cutie – we gotta get going. Can you hurry up and stop playing with your food – I want you to at least eat the rest of that broccoli.” She said insistently

 

“aww mom – I don’t really wanna.” He said in response looking down. Without even a response, Karen scooted her seat over to Kyle, taking his childish spoon off the side of his plate, getting a scoop of cheesey broccoli and saying “come on sweety its just a few more bites, open up for momma” she said playfully. 

 

Kyle not wanting to make a seen just let his mother feed him the rest of his meal. It was beyond embarrassing but he’d given up the energy to protest anything further at this point. After what seemed like only a few minutes, he was finally done. All three women praised him “what big boy finishing your whole dinner!” they said much to his embarrassment. Karen took a baby wipe and cleaned around Kyle’s mouth then handed him his sippy cup of milk encouraging him to wash down his food.

 

“Alrighty well I think it’s time we get the little ones off to beddy bye!” Karen announced. 

 

“Agreed, this baby is so sleepy and I know she wants to play with her toys back at the cabin for a little while let’s get going” Candice responded.

 

“Hey mom – I’m going to stick around the lounge and mingle for a bit – I’ll be back later, okay?” Kayla said to her mother. 

 

“Of course, sweety – have fun!” Karen said as she grabbed Kyle’s hand and walked out of the room with Candice and Karly. 

 

 

The walk back to the cabin seemed to breeze by. Next thing Kyle knew they were waving goodbye to Karly and Candice as they entered the front door of their cabin. Kyle was dismayed to see how high the sun was still in the sky and yet he was being taken to bed by his mother. It was 7 PM but often the sun would stay out until 8:30 this time of year. 

 

Karen led Kyle into his room and then turned him toward the changing table instructing him to sit down on the side. She undid his buttons on his shortalls she said “Okay baby – now time for a nice warm bath” she said as his shortalls fell to his waste, she slipped off his shoes and quickly checked his diaper. “all dry! What a good boy!” she praised him.

 

She then led him by the hand in the restroom, where she proceeded to have him site down on the closed toilet to wait as she filled up his tub. The warm water rushed out quickly filling up the tub in a few minutes as his mother went into cabinets pulling out things applying bubbles and a few rubber toys to the bath. Once Karen was satisfied with the temperature, she had Kyle stand up – removed his diaper and then helped him step into the extra-large soaking tub.

 

As Kyle laid down in the water, Karen could see how nervous and uncomfortable her son was in this situation from the expression of fear on his face, she had an idea – going into his room she retrieved his pacifier bringing it back into the bathroom “Here baby – I think this will help – I want to suck on this while I get you all cleaned up.” She said as she pushed the nipple of the soother into his mouth. Kyle accepted it without protest and figured it would at least give him an excuse not to talk. 

 

She gently began to wash him from toe to toe and began to speak about the day. 

 

“so Kyle sweety, I know this was a long day for you and I just want you to know I’m super proud of how good you were. You obeyed me for the most part and seem to be taking to this treatment. I know it is all a lot to handle and I understand your embarrassment from time to time, but I want you to know this is really going to get a lot easier and I am now even more confident that it’s going to have a hugely beneficial impact on you. You’re still my big boy but I’m really having a lot of fun taking care of you, I know soon you’ll be able to relax and get into the flow of being little again”

 

Kyle appreciated his mother’s words and was more receptive to her thoughts. He had to admit the constant attention although annoying, was giving him a sense of love that he’d been missing for a long time. It made him feel cared for and more importantly supported. He nodded his head and smiled at his mom. In an attempt to pander to his mother he mumbled through his pacifier “Thanks you mommy, I getting used to it but it’s still embarrassing” he said honestly.

 

“Aww I know but you’ll get over it soon baby!” she responded as she leaned over to his him on the cheek.

 

“Now baby – tomorrow is a big day and I’ve spoken with Darlene at Kids Camp about how we’re going to run this first week. I don’t want you to be upset but I want what best for you. Now I think for tomorrow and the rest of this week – we’re just going to keep you in Little Cubs, I looked over there schedule and I think it’s going to be the best place for you right now. I want to save you from any potential embarrassment so I think we should remove your blue wristband and see how things go the first few days before launching you into the teenage sports and have you straddle the two groups. Would you be okay with that?” she said hopefully

 

Kyle thought to himself, he was relaxed in that moment and was vulnerable to his mother’s persuasion. Without fully thinking about what it would mean, he decided to just nod his head in compliance, trusting his mother has spoken with staff and this recommendation was probably for the best. 

 

Karen excitingly said “Yay! I was super nervous you might want to try going to both right away, I just don’t thinks that is the best idea. So let’s get rid of this” she got a pair of scissors from the bathroom cabinet and quickly cut the blue wrist band off of Kyle’s hand. 

 

“There we go – now you’re just my little cute rainbow aren’t you! Don’t worry sweety depending on how things go we can always go get you a blue one again if you feel like you’re missing out on something!” Karen said assuredly. 

 

Kyle was so sleepy and dazed by the relaxing bath that he wasn’t 100% sure what he’d just committed himself too but he did feel in that moment as if another level of his maturity had bee washed away. 

 

Karen finished up the bath shortly, got Kyle out – dried him off, brushed his teeth, dried his hair, and got him a new diaper in record time. 

 

Next things Kyle knew his mom was slipping on his jammies – which were your standard blue striped pajamas with cuffs at the feet and wrists. He was so comfy and realized he’d had his pacifier in his mouth the whole time throughout this process. 

 

His mom took his hand and guided him to sit down on the floor. She handed him his teddy bear and told him she’d be right back. She quickly returned holding a small towel and a bottle of warm milk. She reached down grabbing Kyle’s hand and leading him toward the rocking chair in the corner of the room.

 

She sat down and turned Kyle to sit on her lap. “Whoosh that is my big boy right there, okay baby – lets have some mommy time.” She said as she scooped him to the side laid his on a pillow as his feet hung off the side. She took out his pacifier and replaced it with the bottle. Encouraging him to drink it. Kyle closed his eyes as he sucked at the nipple softly, feeling the warm embrace of his mother as he rocked back in forth.

 

Slowly without much effort at all Kyle fell asleep right there in his mothers arms.

Great story, I would try to avoid using texting abbreviations like IDK and OMG when typing the story though, imagine yourself as a narrator reading it out loud
