We worked our way up the coast, into Alabama, where we stopped for a few days on the gulf shores.  Max got some fishing in, I took a helicopter ride.  We both spent time at the beach working on our tans.  We ate some great food, which brings us to needing to work out.

Since starting this journey I have put on some weight, which I realized that I needed to get into better shape.  I got into running about a 2 miles each day, in addition to cardio.  We both decided that we needed to hit the gym, and got memberships at a nationwide chain.  I actually dropped the extra pounds quickly, and dropped some more too. 

We are trying to get off the fast food, and sweets or so daddy says… right after he eats a honey bun.  I have a decent sized refrigerator in the RV, enough so we can get fresh meats, fruits and veggies.  So typically when we pull into a town we try to find a farmers market or produce stand.  We switched the cookies, cake and ice cream out to bowls of French fruit, with an occasional sorbet.  Fruit smoothies are part of breakfast.

We explored some museums in costal Mississippi.  There was a museum that had miniatures, small paintings and scenes, a children’s museum, a maritime and seafood industry museum and finally a visit to the Hattiesburg Zoo.  All in all we were out exploring 3 days with 2 days to edit videos.

We actually got pretty good at shooting video and daddy found that he had a great voice for narrating and voiceover work.  This helps fund the travel, keep the gas tanks filled and feed the kitty.  We would do our traditional vlog, but also shoot some b-roll and interviews.  Neither of us would be in front of the camera.

We moved on to the experience that is New Orleans.  We broke from our healthy eating when we went to get Beignets, I mean you just must try them.  Plenty of gumbo and other creole dishes too.  Max made me promise that I would not repeat the last trip to bourbon street and getting drunk.

We did stay at the same campground that I had when mom and dad came down.   

We stayed in Louisiana for about 9 days before continuing through Texas seeing quirky things and vlogging about them. 

We settled into a schedule of 3 days of shooting, 2 days of sitting, scouting and editing.  We would then relax those nights, and drive for a bit the next day.

After about 6 weeks of putt putting towards Arizona, we made it there.  By then it was the first week in March.  We rolled into Ehrenberg AZ, emptied our tanks, filled up the water, propane, and about every water container we had as well. We needed all the water storage we could get.

We facetimed Max’s family and wished the twins a happy 12th birthday, saw all the things they got too. Gift cards for xbox live, itunes gift cards, more diapers for David, clothes for both.  Not much other than that.  We had sent some souvenirs from the road to them.

We then found a place outside of town at a BLM (bureau of land management) dispersed camping area and set up camp. 

The first couple nights there was nobody around us, and I loved it.  I would run around in just a onsie and diaper and sandals.  Eventually more and more of the area filled in, but it wasn’t that full.  Yet one morning I woke up and stepped outside in just a onsie and diaper and there were people camped about 30 feet away; like you could pick anywhere but you chose to be right up our ass. 

I paid them no mind as I sat outside and sipped my coffee and watched the sun come up.  Nobody told them to camp so close to us.  They did not stay in that place long.  Max told me that my fun was over since there were becoming more people, and I had to put pants on. I pouted but lost out.

The next people who camped close, were parked the opposite direction and left us alone.  About every 3 days we would drive into town to see what was going on, maybe get some groceries, etc.  Once about every 8-10 days we’d take the RV in to town, dump the tanks, fill the water, empty the trash and do laundry.  Often we would take a fellow camper in with us just to be nice.  We got to know a few people that were camped nearby, and found that for some, living like a nomad was their only choice.

Many of them were in fact homeless, and they were often able to scrape just enough gas to make it to the BLM land, and be able to move every 14 days as required when they had to.  Many were on various public assistance as well.  Some like me had the ability to do what they loved, but many just wanted to be out on the open road going where the wind blew them.  We never once ever let on that we had the means to be able to do this without a care to the cost.  I can be quite the tightwad sometimes.

By the end of March, we started getting tired of the scenery, so to say.  One night in early April, the 3rd I think, Max said “Tomorrow we need to move on down the road, it’s getting too crowded here, and it is consistently getting warmer and warmer, and we’re getting to the point of needing the AC and we cannot run the Generator and the solar isn’t going to provide enough power.

The next morning on April 4th we got up early, watched the sun come up, shot our last time lapse sunrise there, packed up what we had out at camp, battened down the hatches and pulled the RV onto the main pathway, coupled up the car and headed out.  We topped off and emptied out the tanks respectfully and headed back east towards quartzite, then up to lake havasu, before hitting I-40 and then we travelled into Oatman, and visited the burros.

Max had never been to the Grand Canyon so we had to visit there for him.  We camped at a KOA outside Williams AZ, then took the Fiat into the Grand Canyon Village and toured the whole day, we took many photos and bought tons of souvenirs as well. I am sure that many people thought I was special needs as Max was constantly directing me around and holding my hand and speaking to me in his daddy voice.  I am sure my light up sneakers, bright colorful shorts and diaper bulge did not give it away.

The next day we walked around Williams AZ, in and out of the various shops.  This was also a great place to get a nice steak dinner, and do laundry.

We basically chilled for another 2 days and then headed  east along Historic Route 66 heading towards flagstaff, short trip to Sedona and Horseshoe bend for photography, where we spent most of the day.  Boondocked that night and then went to Meteor Crater.  

We stopped off in Winslow AZ to just stand on the corner, it was such a fine sight to see.  Saw the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook  AZ.  We checked into a KOA, then took the Fiat and did some vlogging from the petrified forest to the east of Holbrook and back to the RV for the night.

Got up the next day and kept heading east into New Mexico.  There really wasn’t much to see there, Albuquerque was way too congested to get the RV into. So we parked about 10 miles out of where we wanted to be at a truck stop and headed to the Route 66 diner for lunch and then back as quick as we could before the kitty got too hot.  We drove another 3 hours to Tucumcari, NM and then stopped for 2 days.

Again in Tucumcari we had to go to the Dino museum, walked around and looked at the murals, vlogged, and visited the Route 66 museum for New Mexico.  Oh, and who could forget getting some great Mexican food at Del’s, and LaCita and one morning we went to Kix on 66.

We stopped at the Cadillac Ranch, spray painted a car. Saw some other sights like the leaning water tower and a giant cross along the freeway, pointed out where I got stranded on my first time out.

The next week we were going to head to Max’s Parents and then into big city to do some shopping.

Riley was finally off punishment and not in diapers any longer, but I could see David was still wearing diapers, and he had to just show me his new bed.  It had the rails around it like mine in the RV, but they were removable for when he decided he did not want them.

Maria said they were finally unpacked and she has a mountain of laundry to do now before the kids go back to school. She made it clear to David that he would NOT be allowed to be diapered at school, only at home, so he better get used to using the toilet this weekend.

Max and I got ready to leave and head into the big city to the mall and surprise his mom and younger siblings were going too. 

“Hey David, you want to ride with us?” Max said, to which he was ecstatic to do so.

“Grab your diaper bag and you can go with them.  Parking at the food court OK?” Maria said

“Yep” Max replied.

“Where’d this car come from?” David said, expecting the bright yellow Fiat, which was left in Florida.

“This is my old car that I keep at my house, for when I am not on the road.  When I first started out I had a motorcycle/scooter, and I bought the Fiat on the road.” I said

“So how is it having your own room?” Max asked

“So it has been awesome having my own room and a crib.  I tried my cloth diapers last night and they are so thick, which is ok at home, but I like the throw away ones when we are out” He said

“That’s great buddy” I said “I like my cloth ones too, but I just can’t do them on the road because it may be a week or so before I do laundry at a laundromat.

“Oh Yeah I guess that would be hard then” He said

We went to the mall, which had a Disney store and of course I had to get more stuffies that I don’t need, or so daddy says, but what does he know.  Then we stopped at the medical supply store that has ABDL stuff.  I got a new onsie, changing mat for myself, and some more variety of diapers that I wanted to try.

We then went to dinner at a place called The Back 40 Junction.  It had a seafood buffet in addition to a traditional buffet.  After dinner, we bid everybody goodbye and Max and I headed back home.  I had taken the time to plan some orders to be shipped to our favorite FedEx store near Orlando so that they would arrive not too long after we were set to return. 

We spent the next 2 days working out our plans for the next couple of months.   Plane tickets were booked for the return to Florida. The plan was to hang for up to a week in Florida go up the Gulf coast of Florida, and along the gulf into Texas. Then make it out west to Arizona and do some boondocking near quartzite for a few weeks or so before moving to another region.

We packed up the night before, and in the morning shut everything off and turned back the heat.  The plan was not to be back this way till around spring break time in April, so we made sure we had warm clothes and clothes for the warm weather too.  I was sure gonna miss my crib and high chair.  The portable high chair was shipped down earlier that week.

Normally I would have had ordered a car to take us to the airport, but my folks said they could do it.  They picked us up and drove us to the airport and away we go.   Two hours later we touch down in Orlando, get an Uber to the RV park, get our stuff in the RV, cool it down, go to FedEx and get the packages that we had shipped in; it took two trips to get everything.  Then we went and got Zorro who clearly showed his disdain for being left at the boarder for almost 2 weeks.  We got back to the RV and he ran in and plopped on the sofa, hissing every now and then when we walked by.

We spent the afternoon and into the evening unpacking, rearranging, fixing little things, flushing and filling up stuff. We gassed up the Fiat, and the RV and the next morning hit the open road.  We headed towards Tampa that first day, did some filming for the vlog, introduced Max on camera. 

He had been behind the scenes for some time, he was heard but not seen.  Which he wanted to do until he had become more comfortable about being in a public video.

While in the Tampa area we experienced some of the local flavor.  We went to Ybor City and had some Cuban food at Carmine’s.  I liked the Deviled crabs, crap we ordered like 4 of them.  Then I got the Cuban roast pork, Max got Bistec De Palomilla, which is pan seared steak with onions.  Max ordered a cocktail and I tried it, still not big into alcohol.  I just got Root Beer.  After dinner Daddy stopped into a cigar store and smoked the stinky thing as we walked around until late that night.

The next day we went to Tarpon Springs and indulged in Greek food at several places, hit the Greek bakery. I ended up getting Gyro and fries, Daddy got some K-bobs and dessert put us in a sugar coma.

We went to a beach and just sat there and watched the sun set.

“It never gets old, you can watch a sunset a hundred times and it’s still like the first time.  It is even better when you have somebody to share it with”, I said

“You know there’s no place I’d rather be than wherever you are., Daddy loves you so much buddy” He said as he leaned in and kissed my forehead.

I laid my head in his lap and he stroked my hair for what seemed like hours, but it was only maybe 30 minutes until we saw the beach patrol rolling up and we had to leave. 

I was all tuckered out by the time we got back to the RV.  Daddy got me in my PJs and off to dreamland for me.  This is everything I ever dreamed of.

I was awoken in the night by Max getting up and using the bathroom and then coming back to bed.  “I’m sorry, did I wake you…. Go back to sleep it is not time to get up now” He said as he climbed back into bed.

What seemed like 5 minutes was hours when daddy woke me up.  “Hey sweetie, I hate to wake you but it’s getting close to check out time, did you want to check out today, or stay” Max said gently waking me up.

“Ok, daddy, I’ll get up.  We can go on the road.”

We finished out vacation with Max’s family over the next few days.  Then we helped them pack up, and bid them farewell on their drive back home.  We left Fort Wilderness and found an RV park closer to the airport, but not before dropping the kitty off at the pet resort for 2 weeks, again Kitty not happy.

The next morning I turned off the gas, drained the tanks and plugged in the RV and turned off everything except the fridge.  We got an Uber to the smaller air strip where a small jet was waiting.  My assistant had booked space on a charter jet for the quick 3 hour flight to the frozen tundra.

I must say it was so nice to get a short security line.  We walked straight to the plane, boarded and the door closed.  We had plenty of legroom too.

My parents met us at the airport and took us to my house.  As soon as I walked in I knew somebody had been in there, as things looked re-arranged, my bedroom door was shut, and I never leave the rooms shut so the heat circulates.  A Christmas tree was put up and had gifts under it too.

“Surprise, we did some decorating while you were gone.” My mom said

“Set your luggage down here and let’s get some dinner” My dad said as they ushered us out the door. 

We went to the local Bob Evans for dinner and then back to my house.

“Ok, so this one is for you” dad said as he handed me a present, “This one for Max, then your mom.  Now you can open them”.

I got a calendar with some of my photos on it, Max got some grill utensils and stuff, mom got some jewelry.  I got my parents a 7 night cruise with a balcony suite, for their anniversary.

At this point I was getting to be a bit soggy and was about to excuse myself to go get changed. “I gotta get changed here soon” I said

“Ok, just wait for a moment.  Now for your last present” My dad said.  “Go open your room up”

I got up and walked to my bedroom door and flicked on the light and was speechless, I just started crying. “How, when, why”

“I hope it makes you happy for years, I know that you’d have eventually bought one, but the ones you buy are so institutional, plus you need something for you” My dad said

“I decorated too” My mom said

“Did you know about this” I said to Max, to which he nodded

“Merry Christmas baby, I love you” Max said

So now that you read this far, what did I get?

When I flicked the light on I saw a giant wooden stained crib, and a matching changing table, with a giant Winnie the Pooh decal on it, diaper disposal like I have in the RV, and a mural on the wall.  They spent some time on this really.

“I’ve been working on the crib since when we came back from Louisiana, your mom used her Cricut to do the decals on everything as well.” My dad said

“I found a diaper pail like you have in the RV on Facebook market, and ordered the bedding on Amazon” My mom said

“So this is why you turned down the offer to fly down to Florida” I said

“Yeah,  we really wanted to have you see this before you started peeping on the video cameras.  I had the inside ones taken offline, but I knew you would not buy it for too long before you’d send somebody to check them, and Max knew he would not be able to keep you from doing that” My dad said

“Oh you all how crafty of you” I said still surprised how they pulled it all off without me catching on.

“Let’s get you ready for bed and then you can try it out” Max said and I basically jumped up on the changing table to get changed.

Fresh in my jammies, I hopped into the crib as Max closed the side of it up to see how high it goes.

“Perfect height” My dad said

“Yep and the video baby monitor will be great too” Max said

“Ok well let’s leave the baby and go play some cards” My mom said as she turned out the lights, leaving just the swirling stars on the ceiling.

“Ha Ha real funny, now let me out” I said shaking the crib rail, which didn’t budge

They left me, they really left me!  Ok, it was only for about 5 minutes, but I had resigned my fate that I was NOT getting out.  If I could get my leg over the rail, there would be like a 6 foot drop to the floor, and there is not that much room between the top of the rail and the ceiling. I’d probably get stuck.

Right about as I had curled up and faced the fact that I was here, Max came back in and dimmed up the lights and got me out “Aww baby, did you think daddy had left you here”

To which I nodded that yes I had thought that.  We went out and played cards until late in the night and then I did say I wanted to go to bed.  Max walked me to the crib and I climbed in and soon after the rail was up I drifted off to sleep, hugging my teddy bear.  Life was great!

I slept in that next day till about noon when Max came in to check on me.  Without asking he slipped his finger inside my diaper, which really woke me up. 

“Let’s get you changed baby.  Did you sleep good?”

“Mmmhmm” I said around my pacifier as I sat up and swing my legs over the side of the crib and hopped down and went straight to the changing table, where Max expertly changed me.

Next onto the kitchen, and I was really not awake yet, I needed my coffee.

“Ok, hop up here” Max said as he pointed to a new chair.  I was too sleepy to realize what it was until he slid the tray in place. 

“Where’d this come from?” I said astounded

“Your dad.  He had it out in the truck last night and put it in the garage when they left.  I went and got it in here this morning while you were sleeping.  We have another for the RV and it packs up as a directors chair.  I figure we could store it underneath or behind the sofa if need be.” He said

“I just love this all so much” I said as I started to tear up.

“Now don’t start crying on me” He said.

I texted my dad and said how thankful I was for the stuff, to which he said I was welcome and it was fun making the items, knowing how much they would mean to me.

We spent the day deep cleaning the house, talking about decorating ideas for my nursery here and more.  We relaxed after the housework and decided to get cleaned up and head into town for some dinner, while we both can cook, it is nice to not have to all the time.  We just hit the local sports bar and got some wings, played some tunes on the jukebox and saw some old friends.

We said ‘Hi, what you been up to, not seen you around, etc’. A few were surprised at my YouTube content, wondering if it was all real; to which Max and I affirmed that it is real, I am a 25 year old toddler and he is my Daddy.

I had texted Maria earlier in the day and wanted to know if David, and Riley could spend the night separately to give them a break. 

Her reply was “yeah like I’ll turn that down, but remember Riley is being punished so he must stay diapered”

So at dinner we asked David if he would like to spend the night at the RV.  Of course he was elated.  I then made sure to let Riley know that he could stay the next night or so.  We asked Maggie if she wanted to spend the night and we were flatly declined.  Josh said he would think about it.

We stayed at the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks and then headed back to the vacation house to get some clothes for David to spend the night. We then headed back to the RV park.

“Well we’re here” I said as I pulled up to the RV and unlocked the RV.

“What do you want to do, watch a movie? We got Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.?” Max said

“Let’s watch a movie” David said

“Ok, here’s the remote, find something to watch.  I am going to get our PJ’s on and then one of us will get you ready for bed as well.” Max said as he ushered me to the bedroom.  After he got my diaper changed he got into his typical t-shirt and track pants and I got into a onesie and some PJ bottoms. 

We exited the bedroom and Max went to wash his hands and I motioned for David to follow me to the bedroom. “Grab your PJ’s and let’s get you changed, you look soggy” I said as we entered the bedroom.  I patted the bed that max uses that we put a changing mat onto.

“You sleep in that every night?” David asked pointing at my crib.

“Nope, that’s your brother’s bed” I said with a smile.  “Yes that is the only bed in the bedroom.  Before we re-did the bedroom, your brother was sleeping on the sofa”

I made quick work of getting his shorts and onesie off, leaving him in just his diaper.  “Woah boy you gave this diaper a good soaking”

“Yeah I drank a lot today.” He said

“Well then we should put a booster in there” I said as I reached into the diaper stacker and grabbed a booster pad and put it in his diaper before sliding it underneath him.  I powdered him up and taped his diaper shut.  His mom had sent a printed onesie and some PJ bottoms.

“This is so thick” He said

“Yeah but you drank as much as we did today you’re gonna need it.  OK, I know you want to climb in there, so go ahead and do it” I said as I unlatched the gate.  He didn’t give it a second thought as he hopped up and climbed into the awaiting crib and I shut the gate.

“This is nice.  I honestly could get used to something like this” He said. “Not that mom and dad would EVER allow it.”

“Yeah it is nice, and it took me a long time to be able to do this.  Let’s go watch this movie before it gets too late” I said

We got out of the bed room area and both washed our hands in the bathroom.  Upon entering the kitchen I see a glass, 2 sippy cups and 2 bottles on the counter. 

“What are we drinking and in what” Max asked

I was expecting that David would pick a sippy cup, but he snatched up the bottle and said he wanted juice if we had any.  We always have juice or fruit punch or something of the sort in the fridge. 

“Ok, go sit down you two” He said making me realize that the question what really just for David.  David and I sat on the sofa and Max soon followed with a big bowl of popcorn and drinks for us. 

It did not take David that long before he got the hang of the bottle, and after the movie started we both leaned into max as we drank our bottles. Part way through the movie Max got up and refilled our bottles, but by then David was dropping off to sleep.  When he almost dropped the bottle while dozing off, Max grabbed the bottle and laid David onto his lap and fed him the bottle.

Max and I had talked about sleeping arrangements when he was changing me and it was agreed on what to do based off of choices made by David.  By the end of the movie David was sound asleep and I was tired too.  Max expertly picked David up and carried him to the bedroom and put him in the crib, putting his teddy bear from his bag into his hands.  I don’t think he ever woke up.  I took the other bed, and Max took the sofa.  That night Max gave David another treat too, producing a new pacifier and keeper from the cupboard.  I grabbed mine from the bedside table as well and the lights were turned out and we all went to bed.

I woke up early in the morning like I always do to the silent alarm from my watch, I rolled over and almost fell out of bed too.  I looked over and saw David snuggled up with his teddy bear and sucking on the pacifier in his mouth.  I very quietly slid out of bed and into the kitchen where the coffee maker was waiting for me.  It was almost 7 am and max was still asleep too. So I quietly poured my coffee, and quietly slid into the dinette and checked my iPad; Zorro kitty decided to jump up on my lap as well.

I uploaded a blog post and scheduled it for the following week.  Checked emails and comments, blocked some trolls, and such. My mom had sent me a text about what we were doing after Max’s parents went back home too. Right about that time Max began to stir and I made the sign to stay quiet. 

“Mom and Dad were wanting to know if we would be back after your folks left, or not.  I did not know what to tell them.  Honestly I don’t want to drive this thing all the way back up there for a few days, and then back down south again.   I mean we could fly home, or drive the fiat and stay in hotels on the way up, or fly them down here.”

“If we fly home, we have your Cobalt to drive, if we drive the fiat up, we have to drive it back down.  Would they want to come down this way?  Either way is it too short of notice to fly anyways?” Max said, going over the options.

“It’s never too short of notice, you just pay more for the airfare.  Mom did not seem keen to fly down here, not sure why though, said they had a surprise for me up there” I said

I sent a message to my assistant and had him work on airfare to go from Orlando to Columbus and the dates.  He said that he found room on a charter jet, how fancy.

We let David sleep until about a quarter till 8 when we had to go get him up as we had to be getting ready to go to the park.  I fired up the water heater and then we went into the bedroom and started to wake him up.  “Hey buddy did you sleep ok last night?”

“Mmm hmm” he said not realizing he had a pacifier in his mouth before it fell out.  “Yes I slept good, how’d I end up in the crib, and who’s is this?” He said picking up the pacifier.

”Well your brother carried you in here and the pacifier is yours now.” I said.  I know that you said that you never had anything for yourself, and that’s why you like diapers because they are for just you.  Well last night, drinking from the bottle, being fed a bottle, and sleeping in the crib and the pacifier are something that is just for you.”

“Now  don’t tell mom and dad about all that, you can keep the pacifier, but hide it down in your bag” Max said. “Ok you need to get a shower, the water should be hot, and you need to be quick about it, jump in, soap up, rinse off and shut it off.  You can also click the water on and off to conserve water if you would too.  All three of us need showers and the last person is getting a cold one most likely”

Max unlatched the crib and patted the other bed that he had spread a changing pad out on and David quickly hopped over and his sodden diaper removed.  Naked he scurried into the bathroom and I heard the shower start up.

Max popped in and put a towel on the top of the toilet lid.  He quickly got out and dried off before coming back in with the towel wrapped around him.  I decided to just take my stuff into the bathroom and strip in there while Max was re-diapering David.  When I exited the bathroom David was sitting on the sofa in just a baby print diaper. 

“Why didn’t you dress him?” I asked

“I dunno, I guess I figured he would do that himself” Max said

“Well he didn’t.  I’ll get him dressed while you’re in the shower” I said

Max re-diapered me and I grabbed a onsie and shorts and dressed before bringing clothes out for David to put on. “Here buddy” I said as I threw clothes at him.

“Did you want some breakfast, I got cereal, yogurt, frozen waffles no syrup, eggs” I said

“Cereal is fine” He said

“Ok, go sit at the table and we’ll get some cereal” I said as I grabbed two bowls and the milk from the fridge and the box of Cheerios from the pantry.

We both ate our cereal and made some small talk. 

“So today is Epcot, which is mostly indoor rides and stuff, which is good because it may rain” I said

“Rain sucks, but hopefully not all day” David said

“Naw, it rains for like an hour and then stops, sun comes out and that swampy feeling returns.  So you are going with your mom and dad today and Riley is coming with us. Just to give you and your parents some time one on one.” I said

“Oh OK”, he said kind of sounding dejected, he had wanted to stay with us

“It’ll be fun and we’ll probably run into each other a few times too” I said hoping to shine a little light on the day.

By now Max was done with his shower and quickly retreated to the bedroom.  When he came out he grabbed a bowl and spoon from the kitchen and sat down with us and ate.

“Ok, the water heater is not able to keep up for 3 back to back showers, so we will need to switch things up tomorrow, one of us may need to shower tonight, dibs on that” He said

“Somebody get a little cold” David said “You should be used to it, our water is never enough after a few showers in our house.”

“Right, dad needs to put in a bigger heater at the house, but never does” Max said “Are both of you boys packed up and ready to go?”

“I am, camera batteries charged, diapers packed, snacks, all done” I said

“I think I got everything, but I need some more diapers.” David said

“Mom will have some more when we meet them” Max said as he finished his cereal and grabbed ours and put them in the sink.  We tidied up, put the couch back in, washed the dishes and dried them and then were out the door.

We arrived at their vacation house and switched twins and then headed over to Epcot.  Maggie went with us again that day, it seemed to work ok yesterday.

“So Riley, where do you want to go first?” I asked

“I dunno, is that big ball a ride?” He said

“It is, it’s called spaceship earth.   Almost all the rides here are able to be done by everybody, and most are inside too.”

We worked our way around the park, and I could tell that Maggie was just about to drop from all the walking they did yesterday and Riley was slowing down as well.  We passed by one of the main entrances where they rented strollers and decided to rent one.  They only had doubles, which was ok, but Riley got the wrong first impression.

“I’m not riding in that thing!” He stomped

“Nobody said you had to bud, they only had doubles, so I have an idea… how about you throw your backpack in there, we’ll throw ours in there too, then were not luggin them around all day, hows that sound?” I said getting down to his level.

“Ok, I just don’t want to sit in the baby stroller” He said

Maggie had no problems, she was tired and this allowed her to not have to walk around.   Right about lunch time, Riley came to me.

“Umm, I need you” Was all he said

“OK, grab your bag” I said as I grabbed mine and his too.  We found a companion bathroom that had a big change table.  I hoisted him up and laid him down.  I made quick work of his sodden and partly soiled diaper, cleaned him up and re-diapered him.  I then told him to wait outside with his brother as I needed to take care of myself.

After changing myself I went outside and we had another one who needed the potty.  I sent her into the companion bathroom and stayed outside the stall until she was done.  We washed our hands again and continued to meet the rest of the family for lunch.

“Riley did you need changed, Maggie do you need to go to the bathroom?” Maria said when she met us.

“Nope Jason got me taken care of and Maggie too” Riley said.

“Just asking, I gotta take David to get changed, be right back” Maria said

“So you kids having fun?” Carl asked, which they all said they were having fun, but the younger ones were getting tired

“So the stroller was no big deal for Maggie?” Carl asked.

“Nope, she was more than happy, Riley thought we got a double for him, that was all they had left” I said to which got Carl laughing.

“What you didn’t want to ride in the stroller?” He said to Riley

“No”

Soon enough David and Maria came back and we went to sit down for lunch.  I glanced over at David and sure enough I see the top of the pacifier clip on his onsie.  I thought we told him to keep it hidden.

This kids must have been starving as the twins and Maggie just scarfed down their chicken tenders and were ready for dessert, while the grown ups were taking their time with their hamburgers and chicken sandwiches.  Dessert came and everybody finished and we left.

It was decided to go to a show to let the food digest, it was a dark theatre so I couldn’t really see when it happened, but when the lights came up David had his pacifier clearly planted in his mouth, he got up and just let it drop to the end of the ribbon and walked out.  One of his older brothers said something but Maria quickly let them know to leave him alone “He can do whatever he wants, we will still love him just the same”

It seems the whole pacifier thing was already discussed between Maria and Carl and they did not seem to have an issue with it, or at least it seemed.

We took Riley and Maggie and headed off to an unvisited part of the park and did some more attractions, by now we are all the way at the back of the park and we needed to start meandering our way to the front for the fireworks and to go home. 

It was at this point that Riley had just pretty much given up on walking around. 

“I’m tired, can we just sit.” He whined

I mean yeah I was tired too, I had walked like 5 miles today in the hot sun.  If I was a tad smaller Max would be pushing me. “Sorry buddy, I wish we could.  Why don’t you hop in and go along for the ride”

“But, I don’t want…” He said trailing off as Max picked him up and placed him in the seat and buckled him in.

“Just deal with it, and let it go.  We’ve seen other kids your size in the strollers all day.” Max said

He wasn’t happy then, but we breezed through the park and he enjoyed that he did not have to walk all that way.

We got to the front and found Michael and Josh, but it was a few minutes before Carl and Maria and David showed up.  They too had used the idea and were pushing a sleepy David in the stroller.  David was quietly sucking on his pacifier.  We watched the fireworks and then headed back to the vacation house where Riley grabbed an overnight bag to stay with us.

We drove back to the RV park. Since this was Riley’s time, we asked what he wanted to do?

“I dunno, watch a movie, play xbox, I need changed though badly” He said

“Yeah me too” I chimed in

“Well then how about we do this. Riley you are first up getting changed, then you can take your shower, maybe try to use the toilet if you need to.  I’ll get Jason changed and then when you are done I’ll take mine a little later once the water has time to re-heat.” Max said

I had already turned the water heater on when we came in, so it would be warmed up.

Max directed him to the bedroom and to the spare bed and I opened the bathroom door, which blocks the ‘hallway’ back to the bedroom, in addition to the accordion door on the bedroom.  I heard the accordion door open and the bathroom door close and max came out. “Flush by stepping GENTLY on the foot pedal, don’t flush anything but TP in there.  The water tank is small, so get in, get wet, soap up and rinse off, you can stop the water with the switch on the shower head.”

“Ok” Riley said.

“Ok, your turn, lets get you changed and in your jammies” Max said.

I quickly went into the bedroom and got changed and got my jammies on and we both headed to the kitchen while we waited for Riley to get done in the bathroom.

“So should we present the same drink options as last night? I asked

“You mean the sippy cups and bottles? Max asked to which I nodded yes.

“You know that he won’t choose a bottle, probably won’t even do a sippy cup” Max said

“We’ll see then” I said

Just then I heard the shower stop and I went to the bedroom to get it ready for him.  He exited the bathroom and into the bedroom, surprised to see me.

“Are you all dried off?  If so then hop on up and we can get you ready.”  I said

He climbed up on the bed and laid down, and I quickly had him re-diapered and was grabbing his clean onsie and motioned for his hands and then put it over his head and worked it down his torso by rolling him back and forth.  I then snapped it up in between his legs before helping him sit back up.

“Now are you sure you don’t want to sleep in the crib tonight?  You can if you want to” I said, knowing that this would be too much for him

“Uh No, but where will I sleep?” He asked

“Well you can take the sofa, it pulls out or you can just sleep on it the way it is now.” I said as I looked through his bag. “Uh your mom didn’t pack any PJ bottoms for you.  You ok in just your onsie or do you want to see if I have something that will fit?”

“I’m ok in this if you all are.” He said

“That’s usually all I wear around here.  Let’s go get something to drink.”

We walked to the kitchen where Max had been popping popcorn and had 2 bottles set out and filled up, no sippy cups.  Riley saw this and just said “Nope not happening”

“Aww you look like a whittle baby anyways, don’t you want your ba ba?  Fine then a sippy cup then” Max said

“Can I get a regular glass?” Riley asked

“Nope!, How about a glass with a straw” Max said

“Deal!”

“Oh well more for me” I said as I grabbed one of the bottles from the counter.  Max poured Riley a glass of punch and handed it to him.  Max then motioned for us to sit. He grabbed the popcorn and the other baby bottle and winked at me.

Max headed to the bedroom and then headed to the bathroom and took a quick shower.  When he returned he brought the popcorn over, and also grabbed the pizza rolls that I had put in the microwave for us all.

Max clicked off the lights overhead and sat down between us like he had done the night before, and I leaned into him and drank my bottle. The movie started and Riley made it about 30 minutes into it when he started dozing off.  Max gently pulled him over to him so he was practically laying on him. He waited a few more minutes before motioning me to hand him the extra bottle.  He waited a little more and then gently put the nipple up to Riley’s lips, and like instinct kicked in, he opened his mouth and started sucking on the awaiting nipple.

I was amazed that he was able to do that with the greatest of ease.  Soon enough he finished the bottle.  What max did next was freaking amazing.  He pulled from his pocket another frosted plastic box, which I knew what was in that.  He popped it open and ever so carefully clipped the ribbon to the top of Riley’s onsie and popped the pacifier in his mouth.

He then motioned for me to get up, then he slid over and laid the sleeping boy down on the sofa, covered him up and we went to bed, but not before he snapped a photo for evidence.

Tomorrow we were not doing any of the parks to give everybody a chance to rest up a bit.  We were probably going to downtown Disney or City walk at Universal a little later in the day.  The plan was to meander over to the vacation house around 10 am and do a brunch then do something quick and fun, the kids wanted to go to a water park, but I don’t think it was warm enough.

The next morning I woke up and patiently waited for Max to wake up and let me out, which he woke up  after me being up 30 minutes.  We both slipped out to the living room to find that Riley was still asleep, pacifier still in his mouth too.  We quietly (as quiet as we could) made coffee and sat at the dinette, glancing over now and then at the sleeping pre-teen.  Eventually he started to stir, and finally woke up and realized he had something in his mouth and spit it out.

“Eeeww gross, Jason is this yours?, sick” He said.

“Nope, it’s yours, it’s stuck to your shirt, so it is yours” Max said. “Don’t worry it was new and clean before it went in your mouth”

“You let Jason do that to me?” Riley asked

“No your brother did that to you, I was on the other end of the couch.  He fed you a bottle too, come here watch the security camera video.”  I said

Riley came crinkling over and looked at the video file from the security DVR.

“Erase that, I was sleeping and you did that to me.  I can’t believe you” He whined.

“Ok chill out, I was going to put you in the crib, but Jason wanted to sleep in his own bed.” Max said

“Do you want something to drink first, or your diaper changed first” I asked, trying to change the subject.  “We got OJ, Milk, or make chocolate milk”

“Chocolate milk, and I’m hungry.  Cereal is good with me” He said as he went into the kitchen as I joined him and got him a bowl, the cereal and then grabbed the milk and chocolate syrup.  I made myself the same.

As we sat there I could tell that Riley was hatching a plan, he was moaning and groaning.  While Max was in the bathroom, I whispered to Riley “Want to get him back?”

“Yes, how?” He asked

“Well I can tell you got something cooking, I am going to get in and get a shower.  I know you don’t like to do that, but I can also tell you he’s not keen on cleaning up a big mess either.”  I said with a smirk on my face.

He got that same smirk and shortly after he walked out of the bathroom, I hopped in the bedroom, got my stuff for a shower and got in there.  I glanced out to see Riley push out the mess into his diaper and then go sit back down.  As I start the shower I hear “well you can just wait till I’m done eating”

When I got done I could hear them in the bedroom, so I made sure to dry off really well (slow), and even used the potty myself (sorry still don’t like messing when I can help it).  I got my business done and then went to the bedroom to find Max just finishing up.

“You told him to do that too didn’t you” He said

“Nooo I would never tell somebody to make a mess for you to clean up, I know you don’t care to do that” I said with such sweetness in my voice

“Sure….  Well just wait until I get you home tonight.” He said

We all were ready and out the door by 11:00 am.  We headed over to the vacation house where everybody else was waiting.  It was decided that we would go out to a buffet for brunch and then hit up CityWalk and some other tourist traps. Mainly the idea was to just take it easy, do a bit of shopping and relax.

“So we are thinking tomorrow doing Disney studios, then doing our Christmas down here, then on the 26th Universal and the Harry Potter park the final days. Rest on the 28th and head home on the 29th or 30th” Carl said, laying out the next several days.

“We didn’t get the kids much this year to open on Christmas, this trip was their big present, then they got some others at home, mostly small stuff to open here.” Maria said

“What are you two doing after we head home?” Carl asked

“Eh maybe hang out a couple days, then we are going to fly home and see my folks, we’ll park the RV at a cheaper RV park, then fly back and probably head along the gulf coast , New Orleans before Mardi gras, through Texas, probably hang at the gulf coast for a bit and then meet up with some other nomads in Arizona if they’re still there. Just basically try to stay warm ya know” I said

We ended up all going to a Movie that night, then Disney Studios the next day.  Then Christmas Day we all hung out.

Carl and Maria got a nice dinner from a local place delivered and we feasted on that. 

Michael got a new bedroom, moving into Max’s old room, there would still be a spare bed for Max though.  Josh kept his room, but Riley was now moving in there, which he was cool with, as he knew that in a year, Michael would move out, josh would move up and he would have that room to himself. 

The biggest thing is that David for once has his own room, and it was truly going to be his style. His mom and dad had agreed to let him have his bed with rails on it, like my RV crib, but he had to have them off when he had friends over, so just at night.  He got some cloth diapers and plastic pants, all this was just photos that his parents presented in envelopes.

They got yearly pool passes for the next summer. Maggie got a new bike, the boys got computer games, clothes they needed, etc.  They all understood that their big present was this trip.

Max and I talked about where our plans were taking us in the upcoming months, when it warmed up we were planning on driving across Canada, maybe up to Alaska, and such.

That night back at the RV with just ourself, we talked about maybe inviting the twins to go on a trip with us, not too far away, nothing like to Florida or out of the country, maybe to a state over, or one of the state parks.

That Thursday, December 8th we packed up the stuff we would need and loaded up the RV.  Friday night we turned back the thermostat in the house, turned off the stuff that did not need to be on and then went to bed in the RV that night.

I like to get on the road very early so to avoid the traffic.  A good start at no later than 6 am allows you to get 2 hours at least before pulling off for a few hours.  I had set my alarm for 5 am, and when I woke up Max was just waking too.  We made quick work of getting everything ready to move and were on the road by 5:30.  As we pulled out Max told me to go back to bed, as I was still in my PJs.  I did as I was told and the only thing that woke me up was that the RV stopped.  Max had been driving for 3 hours and rush hour was getting thick.

I looked at my watch and it was 9 am and we were close to Lexington Kentucky.  Bless his heart he made it through Cincinnati in rush hour traffic, in a 30 foot RV, towing a car, and was getting close to another metro area.  Gold star for Max

“Holy Shit, you made it through that traffic” I said

“Yeah I just got lucky, got in a lane and stayed in it hoping we wouldn’t have to change lanes or get too lost if we had to exit.” He said

We had pulled off at a Walmart parking lot, I got into a fresh diaper as this one was well past it’s usefulness.  Max then decided to get a nap for a few hours.  I got up and checked my social media, YouTube, blog comments, and email.  Of course the cat had to be fed before he starved to death.  I got a bite to eat as well, there was some coffee left in the thermos from the pot we made this morning, so I finished it off.

I waited until about 10:30 before I hopped in the drivers seat and continued driving.  About 12:30 or 1:00 I decided to pull into a truck stop and refuel, and about that time Max woke up and we decided to go over to the Cracker Barrel for breakfast/lunch. I put on my light jacket as it had been getting cold and crinkled my ass into the restaurant.

I hadn’t given any thought to where we were, I had just pulled off the interstate and got gas.  We were in Corbin KY, where we had stopped at the Cracker Barrel on the way home a couple of weeks ago.

We were seated and our server had yet to come over to get our drinks, and we were talking.

“So basically the plan is straight down I-75 to Florida, then down A1A to Key West.  We can either keep trucking along today for as many hours as you want to drive, but we don’t have to be in Key West until Friday at the earliest.” I said

“Sorry was kind of pre-occupied checking messages, my mom was texting me.” He said

“What about?” I  asked

“I’ll tell ya later” was all he said

Just then our server walked up to us and remembered who we were.  “Well hello there again, coming back through the area?  What can I get you to drink?”

“I’ll take a sweet tea” Max said as he was fumbling in the diaper bag for something.

“Sweet tea here too” I said hoping she would leave before max found what he was looking for… Nope!

“Can you put his in this?” He asked as he set the large sippy cup on the table.

“Sure thing, did you need some crayons sweetie?” She asked

“No thank you” I replied

As she walked away Max just smiled and giggled at the perturbed look on my face about him getting the sippy cup out.

“So what plan did you want to do, drive on through until about 4pm and find another campground to stay at, if any are open, or one of us sleep and the other drive like we did this morning?” I asked

“Let’s see how it goes, as cold as it is getting, I bet the campgrounds are probably closed for the year, the KOA here is and I am checking some others south along the route.” Max said

By this time our drinks had been brought, we ordered lunch and further discussed plans.  Our server made sure we were well hydrated as we sat there.

We finished our meal and paid the bill and got back on the road and drove another 3 hours and then stopped to rest.  Max said he could drive a few more hours to get on down the road. 

“So back at the restaurant, what was your mom wanting?” I asked

“Oh not much just seeing where we were.  Telling me about the shopping trip and how their weekend was.  I guess Riley really gave her a hard time about his punishment over that weekend we were up there.  She threatened to extend it and send him to school in diapers, but didn’t.  She did say she got like 4 onesies at that place in Ft. Wayne though, they are useful for undershirts.”

“I see.  I know that morning in the RV he was giving her grief.” I said

“Yeah, I guess she warmed his ass up that night.  She said that David was pretty much ok with the punishment and even asked if he could use the tape on diapers at night instead of the pullups.”

That was all there was to that subject,  I had called a KOA and they were booked that night, so we continued on.  Max drove a few more hours, we switched and then I drove some more till about 6:00 PM when the sun started to go down.  So much for so only driving 200 miles, we did 500 miles.  We stopped at a truck stop and parked out a bit and went to bed for the night.  The next morning we got back on the road at 10 am after eating breakfast and switched off in 3 hours, then drove 3 more, and then stopped to eat, sure enough we made it to Florida. We drove a bit further and were ready to stop for the night.

We were 3 days ahead of schedule, so we found the first campground that looked decent and pulled in.  We needed to re-charge the batteries in the RV and in us. Get some fresh water and dump the tanks too.  We used up a decent amount of propane on the furnace on the way down trying to keep warm, and I’m certain we chewed through more gas than needed by having to run the generator.  Oh well we’re where it’s warm!

We stayed 2 nights in Lake City Florida before moving down past Orlando to the Cocoa Beach area.  We saw I Dream of Jeannie Lane, got on A1A and headed south, stopping for the night in Palm Beach at a small RV park, then heading further south until we got to Homestead.  It was at this point we decided to split the car off and drive it separate to the RV park in key west.

From there we walked to the local bars and restaurants.  We had planned to stay for 1 week before heading back up to the Orlando area.  We got in some great sights, sunrises, sunsets, cruise ships, Max fished and caught a few fish, which I told him he can clean and cook.  Best of all we just relaxed on the beach because we had nowhere else to go.  

We had a reservation at the Fort Wilderness resort a day before Max’s parents and family would arrive, so we just had to find a place or two to stop for the night on the trip back up to the Orlando area.

On our next to last night in Key West, I checked in with my folks, as did Max.  He was on the phone for almost 30 minutes with his mom too.  When he finished he said “Oh boy, David and Riley are driving my mom crazy”

“What are they doing?” I asked

“So Riley got into a fight at school on Friday afternoon.  Four days before Christmas break starts.  He cussed out a teacher.  So he got suspended for the 3 days before break, and then in school suspension that final day, but mom elected to not send him.” Max said

“He didn’t care, he thought he could just stay home and play video games… WRONG!  Mom had him do chores, and since you know he did them half assed and then gave her lip, she rolled back his age by 10 years.” He said

“Huh? Didn’t he just get off punishment like 2 weeks or so ago.  What is up with him?”

“Yeah, I mean that weekend we were up there he was on punishment, then less than 3 weeks later, gets in trouble at school right before Christmas break.  So mom said she put him back in diapers, no TV, no games, bed right after dinner, no friends over not that he would have anyways. He’s really mad at her.”

“He thought dad would overrule her and he was sadly disappointed, when he announced it was a unified front.  That he had been acting like a toddler in the terrible 2’s.  Dad said it would not be fair to the rest of them if he cancelled the vacation, nor would it be fair to make Riley stay home with my extended family, not that anybody would want to deal with him for that almost 2 weeks.”

“Mom also seems to think that David is getting a little too comfortable in diapers, as she thinks he is wetting more now than before, and had no problem staying in them.” He said

“So she has one who she’s forcing to wear diapers and one she’s trying to get out of them” I said with a amused look.

“I guess so, when you put it like that” He said

They were set to leave on a Saturday and arrive Sunday afternoon or so.  On Wednesday morning my phone rang and it was Max’s mom.

“Hey Maria, getting all packed up for your trip?” I said

“Yes, I have Maggie packed, I gave a list to Mike and Josh, what I am calling about is David and Riley.  Can you guys do us a favor?” She said

“I’ll be happy to see what we can do.  What’s up?” I asked

“I need to place an order for more diapers for those two, but they aren’t gonna arrive until after we’ve already left.  I should have did earlier in the week, but then I did not know that I might have the need for that many, but it appears that I will be.  So any ideas?” Maria asked

“Well I know near our campground there is a fedex office about 15 minutes away, because I have used it before, let me look their address up.” I said as I checked on my iPad to get the address and make sure that it was the right place.  “I’d call the place you are ordering from and the fed ex place so they are expecting the package.  Where are you ordering from?

“Probably from this place in Illinois, cause we usually get them overnight, but I just don’t want to think I will get them and not have them that Friday with Christmas coming up and all.” She said

“Yeah I use them too.” I said.  “So Riley still being a problem?”

“Not anymore.  I think he had finally resigned to the fact that until they go back to school and possibly longer, if he acts up again, that he is going to be wearing diapers.  Then David I almost have to tell him he has to change.  I think he’d be content to wear them all the time.  I’ll be honest with you….  They seem to behave better, no bickering, no fighting, no pranking either, when they are diapered.  By the way that place in Ft. Wayne you put me on has been nice.”

“You have to do what you have to do, and if it works it works” I said

“I just hope I am not causing damage to them at their age.” She lamented

“I don’t know what to tell you, I know that from a very young age, I remember wearing a diaper to bed, it was probably 13 when I think my bedwetting started to taper off, but then by that point I was so used to wearing them that I kept it up for a few more years before I quit just so I could go on a class trip.  But as soon as I was thrown out of the house when I came out gay, I shortly after started buying diapers again and wearing.  So I’m probably not the best person to ask about that stuff, but I do know that there could be worse things that he could be interested in” I said

“Hey I best get off here and get more packing done. Bye honey and take care, we will call or text when we are on the road.”

“Bye Maria” I said as I disconnected the call.

“Who was that?” Max asked as he entered the RV after his morning walk.

“Your mom, she wanted to know how to ship diapers down here, I guess both of them are going to be in diapers, well Riley is still on punishment, which she did not factor in, so she wanted to order and have them shipped down to the FedEx store.” I said

“Really?” He said

“Yes, she said it may be until they go back from winter break, That’s 2 weeks from now.  She’s worried that David is liking the diapers too much and possibly trying to wear more often, and worried that she may cause damage to Riley by punishing him with the diapers, but she also said that they are better behaved.  I told her it was way beyond my expertise.”

“Well they are leaving early Saturday morning, so yeah she probably doesn’t have time to wait for an order.” He said.  “They should be down here Sunday afternoon if nothing goes wrong”

Early Saturday morning, I get a text message as does max from Max’s parents that they were pulling out of the driveway and on their way.  Another one a few hours later saying that they were stopping off in Kentucky and switching drivers after breakfast.

A little after noon Maria called and said that they were close to Tennessee and that Michael had just switched out to drive with Carl, Max’s dad riding shotgun.  They were planning to drive till they got to Atlanta and then stop.

She called back about 6:00PM and said that they had made it to a little city right before Atlanta and were stopping for the night.  The plan was to start out early in the morning and to arrive before afternoon.  She said she got an alert that their package should be delivered already.   

I told her that her package came and was at the FedEx Store and I would go tomorrow morning and get them, as I had placed an order myself, and it arrived later that day as well.

We both got to bed early that night, as we knew the next day was going to be very busy.  We both woke up at 10:00 am to a text that his mom sent at 6 am, saying that they got on the road at 4:30 am, kids all sleeping except Michael, who was navigating.

We both go some breakfast and then were out the door to get some last minute things picked up.  His parents had a vacation rental, so it has a full kitchen, so his mom had asked us to get some groceries for her.

We grabbed the packages from the FedEx Store.  She had ordered 2 cases of diapers, along with the 2 cases I ordered too.  I ended up having to unpack all the bags and pack them into the backseat and trunk of the Fiat.  She had ordered a case of the plain white ones but also a case of printed ones too.  That was interesting.

We got the groceries that Maria had asked for and headed over to their vacation rental, which we had the door code for.  By now it was close to noon and Maria had called and said that the GPS said they were about 15 minutes away.  We told her we were already there waiting for them.

Soon enough we see their large Chevy van pulling up the street.  They backed the van into the driveway and Carl hopped out of the passenger side and Michael was in the driver’s seat.  Next Maria and josh, then Maggie and then the twins. 

Upon hopping out I could tell that both of the twins were in diapers under their track pants. From the smell, one of them needed a change.

“Come on Riley, David , let’s go get you two changed” She said as she ushered them into the house and to the bedroom where all the diapers were. 

We helped Carl and Michael unload the luggage and bring it in the house, while Josh kept an eye on Maggie.

“So how was the trip?” Max asked his dad

“Pretty good, we made good time, with 2 of them in diapers, that is 2 that aren’t needing to use the bathroom all the time. It also helped that Michael was able to help drive too, we made better time.” Carl said as we sat on the sofa drinking a bottle of water.

Maria must have gotten David changed as he exited the room in just his onsie and a diaper.  I could see that he had one of the printed diapers on.  He came over and hugged Max and then came over and sat down next to me and hugged me.  I gave him a pat on his crinkly butt and he blushed.

“What, it’s not like it’s any secret.” I said

“Mom had me wear a diaper on the way down Incase I had an accident” He said

“That’s a good idea. So why are you wearing one now?” I asked

He started to blush but couldn’t say the reason why. I leaned in and whispered in his ear “It’s perfectly fine if you want to wear them, I wear all the time too”

“Riley hates wearing them, but mom says he has to wear them until he quits acting like a butthole” David said quietly, kinda grinning at his brother’s predicament.  “Mom said I can wear on vacation if I wanted to”

“And it is perfectly fine if you do too, just be happy” Carl said

Just then the bedroom door opened and Maria walked out with a shopping bag and dropped it in the trash, soon followed by Riley, who was dressed the same as David.  Maria washed her hands before joining us in the living room area. Riley washed his hands, and Maria directed David to do the same.

“So have all the suitcases been brought in?, the coolers, and food?” She inquired

“Yes Mom, all suitcases brought in, I got mine unpacked, Josh’s is in our room, and Maggies is in her room.  David and Riley’s I left over there as I wasn’t sure where to put them” Michael said.

“Riley, David grab your suitcases and take them into your room and unpack them.” Maria said

“Ours is in our room.  Josh took Maggie to the playground” Carl said

“I think we are going to stick around here for the afternoon, we’ve been up and on the road since 4:00 am and I’m tired of being in the van and ready to relax.” Maria said to which Michael and his dad concurred.

“Did you want to order some food, or cook out?” Max asked

“Pizza!” came the response of both Riley and David

By this time Josh and Maggie had returned and concurred

“You 4 would eat Pizza morning noon and night if we let you” Carl said. “I could go for some wings, or Pasta”

“Hey remember that place we went to when we were here a few months ago?  Reggio’s.”  Max said

“Yeah, let me check their menu” I said as I got up to grab my iPad. I studied their menu and passed it around and they really had it all.

We ordered 3 large pizzas, a supreme and a pepperoni, mushroom, sausage and extra cheese, like 20 wings, Pasta and meat sauce, garlic bread and 2 large salads.  I offered to pay.  We had 30 minutes before we had to go get it, which meant it was a perfect time for another diaper change.

“Uh excuse me, I uh have to take care of something” I said

“Use the boy’s room, there is a changing pad on the one bed, powder and wipes are there too.” Maria said

“Go on in there buddy, I’ll be right in” Max said as he ran out to the car to get the diaper bag.  This would be the first time that Max had changed me in the presence of his parents.

I walked into the room and found the one bed that had a changing pad laid out on it.  I waited for Max to come in as he said he would.   He came in and I laid down as he removed my shortalls and unsnapped my onesie.

“So what do you think about your mom allowing David to wear all the time?” I asked

“Well if it makes him happy then so be it.  It makes you happy, and you make me happy too” Max said

Halfway through getting changed, David came into the room “Ooopps Sorry!” He said as he quickly left.

“All done” Max said as he patted the front of my diaper and had me lift up as he snapped me back up.  “Ok go wash your hands” he said as I passed by and he smacked my diaper butt.

We went out and I washed my hands and said I would go get the food

“Can I come with you?” David asked

“It’s up to your parents?” I said

“It’s fine, but you gotta put pants on before you can leave the house” Carl said

He ran back to the bedroom and quickly emerged with a pair of light shorts on.  “Ok, I’m ready”

We went to the car and headed out of the resort and to the local shopping center to get the pizza.

“Thank you for letting me come, it’s not often I can do anything without having half the village with me. I never get any alone time.  I also wanted to come with you, because I think you understand me better” He said. “You know I like wearing them, and I know you like them too.  I’m not so much into being a baby like you are, but I like wearing them.”

“My diapers were the one thing that I had that none of the others did, then when we got punished a few weeks back, it was like I had my moms attention directed at me and just me when she was changing me.” He said. “How old were you when you started knowing you liked diapers?” He asked.

“I was probably your age when I had noticed that I really didn’t mind wearing diapers anymore.  I started to wake up dry every now and then and that became more, so I would wet them as soon as I woke up.  I was probably 16 when I found something else that I wanted more than diapers, and that is probably the only reason I stopped bedwetting, or making my parents think I was bedwetting.  I mean I would wear them every now and then at night, but as soon as I moved out of their house I started wearing more and more until it was every night.” I said

“I don’t wake up dry much.  Lately since I went back to these type diapers I have been waking up wet more and more. I think my brain knows I am in a diaper and just lets it go” He said

“Maybe so, well we’re here, lets get the food and then we can get to eating, I’m starved” I said

We went in, paid and carried all the food out and put it in the backseat of the Fiat and we headed back to their vacation rental.

“Do you think my mom is being mean making Riley wear diapers as a punishment?” He asked

“Buddy that is not my call to make.” I said, which it wasn’t.  While I did not think that a parent should force a child that does not need to wear diapers to wear and use them, again it is not my place to be sticking my nose in it.

“He hates it, and cries about it, but then again he has been really bad lately, fighting, and mouthing off to mom, dad and the teachers at school. He got mad at mom the other day and threw something at her, that’s all I know”

“Well sometimes people just don’t know how to express their feelings, and it comes out as anger instead.  The best thing you can do is be there for your brother” I said

“So does Max always change your diapers?” He asked “Sorry I walked in on you two earlier”

“Most often, yes he does.  Max and I role play.  I am his toddler and he is my daddy, to put it in the simplest of terms.  He makes sure I don’t get into trouble and helps me be a good little boy” I said

“I really like your clothes, you look like a little kid, but do you always dress that way?”

“Most of the time, others I am just in a plain colored onesie and shorts like you.” I said

“So is it obvious that I have a diaper on under these?” He asked

“I would know you had a diaper on, but many others would not, most people aren’t staring at your crotch, and even if they do notice…. They are too polite to say anything, and it’s not like you’re ever going to see them again.  You have to be comfortable in your own body and clothing” I said

“I really don’t care here if people know, but where we live and at school; I don’t want people there to find out I wear diapers” He said

“I can totally understand, kids in school are just brutal.  It was hard enough to be the nerdy kid, I sure the heck didn’t need to be the gay nerdy diaper wearing bedwetter” I said

We arrived back at the house and brought the food into the house and set it on the counter.  Maria had already set the table, and I see 3 sippy cups on the table, I figured they were for the younger kids. 

We all gather and get sat down, and it became clear that the sippy cups were for David, Riley and myself. Maggie had a covered glass with a straw.  You know, I didn’t care, it’s who I am.

After we ate dinner, Maggie, David, Riley and Josh went to the playground, and Michael went to his bedroom to play on his laptop.  We headed out to the patio and talked for a bit.

“So, tomorrow, what time and where did we want to meet at?” Max asked

“Well what time can we get into the park?” Carl asked

“The parking gates open at 7 am, the gates to the park open for pass holders at 8, and regular ticket holders at 9.  So if you want we can swing by around 8:30 and all go in together.  Is that too early?” I asked

“No, I figure they will be chomping at the bit to get there in the morning” Maria Said

“So mom are you planning on keeping them both in diapers the entire trip?” Max asked bluntly breaking the ice.

“Well nobody is forcing David to wear them, he just wanted to to support Riley, I think.  But Riley is going to be wearing them the entire trip.  I just don’t know what is up with him, he fights in schools, is disrespectful to the teachers, he was disrespectful to me, he threw a can at me.  He just seems frustrated all the time” She said

“Ahh teenage hormones.  Max was a pain too, not to this extent though” Carl said

“I don’t want to tell you what to do, but maybe you need to find out what the attitude change is coming from.  David and I talked on the trip to get the food, he’s wearing because he wants to.  Said it was one of the few things that is ‘his’ is his diapers. He also said that Riley is really upset about the punishment. Like I said, not telling you what to do, just relaying what I was told”

“Thank you, maybe we do need to look at it a bit different, We are going to try to separate each kid and spend several hours with each just to themselves. So they get some one on one time with us” Carl said

“Sounds good, let us know if you need some help. We can take 1 or 2” Max said

“Ya think tomorrow you could take Maggie and David?” Maria asked

“Sure!. Josh and Michael probably don’t want to ride the kiddie rides with her, so we can take them and switch off on rides and do fun stuff they’ll enjoy” Max said

“The twins got their first cell phones, just flip phones, and Maggie got a tracker watch, a gizmo I think they called it.  They are not to be playing on them, they are for contacting us and you two.  All the numbers they need are in there, and they are blocked from calling or texting anybody else” Carl said

From the patio I could see the kids on the playground, they had been joined by some other kids as well.  I could tell that Riley had sort of stooped down but wasn’t doing anything.  Then another kid said “Eeeww did you just poop” to which Riley got all red faced and looked like he might have been crying.

“Maria, you’re gonna have a poopy butt incoming, and he isn’t happy either” I said, warning her of the impending emotional meltdown of a pre-teen.  I then see David get up in that kids face and yell “leave him alone, he can’t help it! You shouldn’t make fun of people who are different”

By then Josh had looked up from his phone and was taking care of the situation as well.  The bully kid just went to another part of the playground.  Riley had made it to the patio and the first thing he did was scream “I HATE YOU!!, I hate this” as tears flowed down his face.

“I know it’s rough, and Mommy’s sorry sweetie” She said as she pulled him in close and hugged him tight.  “Let’s get you changed and then you and me need to talk”. She with some effort actually picked him up and he wrapped his legs around her waist.  Did he just snap into a regressive mood?

It was about 30 minutes and they both returned, Riley obviously had been crying as had Maria.  “We had a talk and while Riley is still on punishment, and has to wear diapers, He does not have to mess them, and will say if he needs to go to the bathroom.  We also are going to spend the whole day with him tomorrow like we had planned.” She said

“Did you want to go back over there and play, or just go inside?” Maria asked

“Can I use your iPad, please?” He asked

“Well you are grounded from electronics, so sorry” She said, obviously disappointing him. 

“I just wanted to read my book” He said

“Could I Interject, you can set the iPad so he cannot leave that app” I said

“OH you can?  Well then maybe you can use my iPad”

I showed her how to setup guided access and then she handed the iPad to Riley and he went inside. 

“That was all it took to make him happy, seriously” Carl said

“Sometimes it is the little things in life” I said

I had went in to get a refill on my drink and he was laying on his stomach on the floor reading the kindle book on the iPad. “Hey buddy, how ya doing?” I said as I sat down on the floor.

“OK, just reading my book, Chronicles of Narnia.” He said

“Nice book, hope you enjoy it.  Are you excited for tomorrow?” I asked

“Yeah and it’s great!  Mom and dad are gonna spend time with me and the others are on their own.” He said

“Well David and Maggie are going with us, and Michael and Josh are going on their own.  Then I’m guessing we will switch around the next day” I said. “It was a little emotional for you a bit ago wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, I had to mess my diaper, which I really really hate doing, and then that kid made fun of me, and that really upset me. I just wanted to punch him, but I knew i’d just be in more trouble.  I hate that I get so mad and frustrated, it just boils over and I do dumb stuff.” He said

“Well your mom and dad love you a lot, and would never do anything that would hurt you or put you in danger or humiliate you.  That kid, after this week you won’t ever see him again, so pay no mind to him.” I said hoping to cheer him up.  “News flash, nobody likes pooping their diapers! Nobody I know at least”

“Michael said you did.  He said you like being a poopy diaper baby” Riley said

“I have no clue where he gets his information, I do not like to mess, and I certainly do not like being messy.  Do I mess my diaper?  I have in the past when the situation warranted it.”

“What do you mean by warranted?” He asked

“Well sometimes the situation happens, and it is an accident or no other choice.  If I wasn’t diapered, it could have been an accident in my underwear.  Now honestly, yes I do like wearing diapers and using them, and I may have messed when I was in the privacy of my home, by myself.  I would not say I enjoy it, it happens though.”

“I’d still be upset that I messed myself.”  He said

“Well the times it has happened in public I wasn’t all that happy either, but I owned up that it had happened and took action to remedy the situation and got changed.  When you get frustrated you need to let somebody know or leave the situation before it gets to the point that you act out.  It’s not good to hide your feelings or leave it bottled up inside.” I said

Just then the patio door opened up and Max and David came in, I could smell what brought them inside. They headed into the bedroom and emerged a few minutes later.

“Feel better now David?” To which he nodded his head.

It was getting to be about 8:00 and the sun was setting and it was time for bed for all. Maggie was the first to get ready, the twins already were changed so they just slept in their onesies, Josh and Michael can get themselves ready at their own pace.  I hugged Maggie to have a good nights sleep, along with the twins, which I both patted on the crinkly backside.

We drove back to the RV, fed the kitty, got changed and went to bed.  The next morning we were up, fed, showered, changed, and packed up to head over to the vacation home.  We both had our magic bands on, backpack for each of us, mine had more stuff.

We got there early and the twins were just getting changed into fresh diapers, and everybody had a bag except Maggie, who we just combined anything she needed with David’s stuff.  Maria came out with 2 pink pull-ups and said they were just in case along with some shorts.

“OK, before we go over there, I need everybody to see that you have the following in your bag.  Sunscreen, hat, charging cord for your phone, battery pack, emergency contact info, spare clothes shirt, pants and underwear.  You are to stay with who you are paired with – this mainly applies to David and Maggie.  Don’t run off!  Everybody have their water bottles/sippy cups?” Carl and Maria called out to everybody in the living room.

We said David could ride with us, and we would get Maggie when we got to the park, since she still required a booster seat.  It was about a 15 minute drive to the entrance of the parking lot.  Then finding a place to park, walk to the tram stop and then to the gate.  We get to the gate, scan our magic bands, and then onto security.  This is where Riley got a little nervous.

“What’s wrong?” I asked

“They’re gonna see my diapers in my bag” He said

“Andddd, the issue is? They are going to see all sorts of things in people’s bags” I said

They got to David’s bag and pulled out a couple plain white diapers and then some baby print ones, the pink pullups, wipes and powder, then they put it all back in an said ‘have a magical day’

They did Riley’s bag next and he was relieved when it was done.  “Ok, that wasn’t too bad.”

He stood there as they did my bag next, full of printed diapers, stuffers and stuff. “See no big deal” I said

They all stood in front of the big clock and I took photos and then we were off.  We set a time to meet up for lunch and we were off.  First stop, getting something to drink. There’s no reason to be parched here.  Soon we were riding the first rides of the day and getting fast passes for others.  We would do a ride for Maggie and then one for David.  If it was too scary or Maggie could not ride it, then either Max or myself would wait for them or go look in the shops.

“Jason, I gotta go to the bathroom” Maggie said

“Ok well let’s go find one then.” I said as I sent Max a text.  We found a bathroom and I waited outside watching the door like a hawk.  Finally she came back out.  “Did you wash your hands?”

The look she gave me told me everything, and I sent her back in to wash them.  When she came back I squeezed some hand sanitizer into her hands.

Max met up with us outside the bathroom.  At this point we had been in the park for about 4 hours and we had been hydrating a lot as it was warm. 

“So how are you holding up?” Max asked me, which I knew what he meant.

“I could use for one, but how are we gonna do it?” I said

“There’s a family bathroom, I can see if it has a stall like the one did at the airport” Max said

“Hey I need a diaper change, I’m super wet and messy now” David said

We found the family restroom, and there was a line.  We just waited till it was our turn and went in.  “Ok David needs changed more urgently, then you.  So you stay with her, and I’ll take care of David, then David can watch her.” Max said

“Sounds like a plan” I said as David and Max went into the stall, and then David came out, and I went in to get changed.

“OK everybody wash hands and we’re done” I said and then we walked out, got more drinks and then headed to meet up for lunch.

“How’s it going, David do you need changed?” Maria asked

“No Max changed me before we came over here” David said

As we were waiting I noticed Riley fidgeting, he started getting a read face.

“Mom I need to go to the bathroom” he said almost doubling over

“Ok, give me a few and I’ll find a family bathroom and take you there” She said

“Ugh!! I can’t wait” He almost cried

I leaned in and asked “gotta go #2 huh?”

To which he nodded yes.

“I can take him” I said, to which Maria was thankful

As we were walking to the restroom, he all of the sudden stopped and got this worried look on his face.  I leaned down and could see it in his face.

“Lost the battle huh?” To which he started tearing up.  “Let’s get you changed then”

We entered the bathroom and I found the handicapped stall because I knew it would have a special needs changing table.  I had him sit on the table and then raised it up to the height I needed before sliding his shorts off, unsnapping his onesie and exposing the sodden and soiled diaper.  I hung the backpack from a nearby hook and got what I needed; fresh diaper, wipes, powder, gloves, rash cream.  I set my needed supplies on the table, got the gloves on and began my work.

The smell of a dirty diaper wasn’t appealing, but I could do it without choking or gagging.  I quickly had him cleaned up, another diaper powdered on the backside and slid under him, before opening the diaper rash cream and putting it on his backside.  I know it must have been embarrassing having somebody put rash cream on your most sensitive parts, but he was getting broke out.  I finished by powdering him in the front before bringing the diaper up and taping it shut.

“There that wasn’t so bad was it?” I asked hoping he wasn’t too embarrassed

“No, and thank you for doing that.  I had tried to hold it and just couldn’t” He said

“Don’t ever try to hold it to put off being changed, either just use the diaper or get changed. Holding it too long robs you of joy of what you were doing.” I said as I snapped up his onesie before lowering the table and helping him up.  I then handed him his diaper to walk out and throw in the trash, which mortified him

“Hey it’s not mine, you used it, you own it” I said

“What if….”he about said

“Somebody sees, oh well they see you throw something away.”  I said as he quickly darted out of the stall and threw the diaper in the trash before washing his hands.

As we walked back to the rest of the group at the restaurant, Riley asked me “So how did you become so brave about being in diapers.  I am just scared somebody will say something or notice”

“Besides jerks, most people are too polite to say anything.  Most people think that you need to wear a diaper, in my case they have no clue that people actually wear diapers without a need.  They just assume if you are in a diaper that you need it.  People are too consumed with their every day life to notice anybody else unless it smacks them in the face, like the smell of a dirty diaper.  If you make it seem like a big deal, others will notice and it becomes a deal” I said

“Oh Ok” he said

By the time we made it back to the restaurant, everybody was seated and drinks were coming around.  I just knew when I got back there would be a sippy cup coming, sure enough 1 sippy cup, 3 cups with straws and everybody else got big boy glasses.  I drank my juice like a champ from that sippy cup though.

We ended up kinda sticking together for a bit, we saw a show, did some photos, then split off and did some more rides before meeting back up for dinner. 

The next morning Max and I talked about where to next, and when in terms of travel.

“Well Florida or Southern Texas is about the only place that is warm right now.  Or could fly again, maybe Hawaii or Mexico too.” I said.

“Well we just need to be able to get back home for Christmas, my folks don’t want me to miss that” Max said

“What if we drive somewhere and the weather is too bad to make it back home?” I said, trying to think everything out.  “We only got maybe 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas, it will take at least 3 to 4 days to get back. We can’t go back through Gatlinburg, the road over the mountain is closed.”

“Any objections to just waiting until after Christmas?” Max asked. “Then we can leave and not have to be home for anything.”

He had a good point there.  We talked about how far after Christmas we wanted to wait, if there were other things around here we wanted to do as well. Maybe zoo lights or other Christmas-y things

Just after 5:00 pm Max’s phone rang. It was his parents.

“Yeah we got home about noon Monday morning, yeah in bed like he knows he should be.  I don’t see that being a problem, I’m sure we can do that. I’ll ask him.   Uh huh, sounds fun, are you sure you want to do that?  They will love it, yes he will certainly too.  Can you be away for that long? I see, well yeah he can handle it.  I’ll see if he wants to do that or not and let you know, but it probably will be a yes.  Bye, love you too.” Was all I heard on the conversation

“Well, I think we may have our answer of where too next.” Max said

I was intrigued to say the least as he proposed the plans.  The plan was that his parents were going to drive down to Florida a few days prior to Christmas, and they would celebrate Christmas at Disney.  Then spend about 5 days at the parks before driving back home.  They also wanted us to come up there for Dinner one night the next week if possible.

“Us?” I asked

“Yes US” He said “both of us.”

“So what about your brothers and sister, I thought they were not going to tell them?”  I said

“Well I guess my brother Michael overheard my parents talking and let it slip that I had a ‘special friend’, and my parents had to explain that I was not working in the forest, that I help my special friend on his travels, shooting videos, taking photos and driving around a big RV, and take care of him like a babysitter.”

“So they know I am a toddler and wear diapers and stuff?”  I asked, not believing the turn of events.  After all Max said his parents were ultra conservative.

“Yeah I guess my mom had to sit each of them down and explain it to them, obviously she did not tell my 5 year old sister everything, but she confirmed what Michael, who is 18 heard and told Josh who is 15, and my 11 year old brothers that you wear diapers and choose to be like a little kid when you want to. So the cat is out of the bag there” He said

“So dinner with your folks Friday night, and Saturday with my folks and then you want to hit the road say by the end of next week?” I asked

“Yeah sounds like a plan, we can try to weave our way down and avoid the mountains if possible, so no Smokies, and no West Virginia, just straight down 75 should be good.” He said

“Hey, let’s check out the RV and see how the new beds look before we start planning on taking off.” I said, as I wanted to be sure everything that was on my list was taken care of before we started heading out.

I grabbed the keys to the RV and went outside and unlocked it.  The RV shop had a checklist of what all was done and a paid invoice.

• Change oil
• Sanitize water tank
• Fill propane
• Install new bed bases
• Grease slides
• Service generator
• New bedroom door

I checked my charging panel and the batteries were all charged up, propane was full, freshwater full, holding tanks empty too. I then opened the new bedroom divider/door that I had installed and was in for another surprise.  The bed that was to be mine (I guess) had crib rails all around it.

“There you go, your own mobile nursery” Max said smiling. “I may have called and changed the build order for the new beds”

“Thank you, I love it!! It’s what I’ve wanted for years!”

“I could tell that you tried something with your bed at the house.  I’m guessing you never had the skill or the money to get something as good as this?”

“No, money or skill.” I said

“Well with money you don’t need skill” He replied.  He was right

That Saturday afternoon we got ready and drove to his parent’s house, in the RV, after all we were only doing dinner and I really didn’t want to be driving back home that night, not knowing how late we would be.  We parked at the grocery store and drove the Fiat to his parents house where his mom had made a nice dinner for everybody.  I had made sure to dress as grown up as I could, even though I was still diapered.

“So Jason, Max tells me you travel around in that RV and make videos, and that is how you make money?” His dad said

“Yeah, that and some investments I have that pay an awesome return” I said, which I wasn’t lying about, the investments I made have paid back and then some.

“What do you have stock in diapers?” Max’s brother Riley snuck into the conversation, trying to be a smartass

“Yeah actually, one of them is Proctor and Gamble, so I have stock in Pampers, among other things” I said to get a laugh from his parents, but not the intended reaction he had hoped for, so he went for broke.

“Mom said you wear diapers and …..” He said before his mom shot him a look that said ‘SHUT UP NOW!’ and that was the end of that conversation too

After dinner I thanked his mother and father for having us, and they sent the kids off to the basement to play.  So now it was just Max, myself and his mom and dad at the table.

“So, we got this trip here in a few weeks coming up, and Max said you two were also thinking about meeting us there.  You driving down when we are?” He asked

“No, I think we will probably head down end of next week, take our time driving.  We tend to only to a maximum of 200-300 miles a day, it is a lot of work to drive that much, plus we like to stop and see the sites and also avoid traffic” I said

“We’re staying at a condo that has 4 bedrooms, had a buddy who had a timeshare and I bought out this year’s vacation time from him.  Dang Disney is expensive.”

“It can be, I have a pass that covers all the parks nationwide, but the best is the park hopper tickets.  I also have one for universal studios too, because that is 3 parks.  You and the kids will have fun no matter what you do.  Some tips though, bring comfortable shoes, if you need to get new shoes for the trip, get them now and break them in.  Water bottles for everybody, even this time of year it is going to be warm. Wear sunscreen, nothing ruins the fun like sunburn. Go early and stay late.  You can always find places to sit, shows to see where you can just sit, and more.” I told them.

“We’re going to head down to probably Key West for a week, soak up some rays, warm up from the trip that we had to Iceland and then by the time you all get into the area we will have worked our way back up to Orlando.” I said

“So before I spill the beans, do the younger ones know about the vacation?” Max asked

“Not yet, we’re gonna tell them tomorrow morning, skip church and your mom is wanting to go over to Ft. Wayne to the mall and get some clothes for vacation”

“OK You kids, time to get ready for bed, get up here and start getting ready so you can say goodnight before your brother has to leave” His mom yelled through the open basement door.

“Max I will get Maggie ready, can you make sure Riley and David get ready, remember what we talked about.” She said

“Sure mom, we’ll see how that all goes” He said as he followed Riley and David to their room, and she took Maggie to her room.

Riley and David were supposedly twins, but not identical ones.  Max said they were almost 11 but they looked more like 8 years old by their size.

“So you really dress like a toddler most of the time?” Max’s dad asked

“Most of the time, it’s not like I run around in just a t-shirt and diaper, I usually just have a printed onsie on and overalls or shortalls or shorts on. Along with sandals or light up shoes.  I try to gauge if it is safe to be dressed like that or not, ya know safety and all” I said

“I can’t pretend to understand what you do or what Max sees in it but if it makes you both happy and you’re not hurting yourself or anybody else, who cares! You seem like a well put together young man, and I know Max has a head on his shoulders too, just be safe out there” He said

“No problem, I make our safety a top priority, I’d rather skip someplace or dress grownup than to get into a situation.  I also carry in the RV and I am guessing Max will be as well, judging by what is in the safe at my house.” I said

“Yeah that was one of his graduation presents.  Never know when you will need that” He said

At this point Max’s mom returned with Maggie, and Michael and  Josh, the 18 and 15 year old followed, Max came out followed by Riley and David.  Both looked like they had been crying, then I looked down and could tell that under their PJ’s they looked like they were diapered.

“This sucks” Riley said

“Whatever” David retorted

“That’s what ya get, both of you” Max said. “Lemme explain.  See David sometimes wets the bed, Riley does not.  So Riley thought it would be funny and poured water on David to make it look like he wet himself, and the next night David put Riley’s hand in warm water and made him pee himself.”

“Now we normally just have David wear those pull up things, but since they both decided to make extra work, they are grounded for the weekend and punished with wearing actual tape on diapers.  If they keep acting up I’ll send them back to school on Tuesday in diapers.” His mom jumped in.

“Oh OK then” I said

“NO WAY” they both yelled in unison. Terrified at what Junior High would be like in diapers.

“I figure a weekend of having to be in diapers should pretty much fix them.  Now say goodnight and good bye to Max and Jason and then bedtime for you all, we’re going shopping tomorrow and have a surprise tomorrow too, so I want not a peep out of anybody”. His mom said as the two boys said goodbye and goodnight, along with Maggie, Josh and Michael.

“I hope that don’t backfire on you, to be honest.  That’s how I got into diapers, I was a bedwetter until I was their age and then just continued enough to keep the diapers, and now look at me” I said

“I guess there could be worse things kids could get into” His mom said, obviously she meant to say something like ‘I sure the hell hope not’ but probably didn’t want to say anything that might apply to me.

We soon after left and headed back to where the RV was parked.  I spent the first of oh so many nights in my new crib on the road. I awoke around 9:30 am to Max waking up and firing up the generator so he could start the coffee maker. I laid there for a moment and then sat up in my crib.  The side rails were just barely above my head as I was sitting there.  I soon realized, I was being ignored

“Daddy……. Daddy” I softly said

“I’m coming buddy, I’m coming” He said as he shuffled into the bedroom.

Now I could have very easily unlatched the rail and got out, I just didn’t.  I was put there for a reason and that is where I was supposed to stay until I was released.

“Did you sleep good last night?” He asked

“Um hum” I said, already popping my binky back in my mouth. 

“Let’s get some breakfast, then get you changed” He said

All of the sudden there was a knock at the side of the RV. I glanced at the TV and it was Max’s dad.  I ran to the back and put on my track pants and came back out to greet him.

“Good morning” we both said

“Hope I didn’t wake you, I brought you a half-dozen donuts from the store.” He said

“No, we were up, just starting the coffee, wanna cup?”

“Sure, let’s see this fancy RV” He said

“So how did Riley and David do with their grounding?” Max asked

“Not good, Riley didn’t think your mom was serious. He must have thought she would forget.  He got up this morning wanting to get in the bathroom.  Michael told them that your mother said they were in diapers. Your mother said that he was really upset about it, but yet she carried through.  Last night was a wet night for David, so it was not a problem for him.  They both were unhappy about having to wear them today when they go shopping” He said

“Well hopefully this teaches them a lesson” Max said

I just kept my mouth shut as I sat there in my soggy diaper.

“Well let me give the 5-cent tour.” I said as I showed him the RV, which really isn’t that much.  When we got to the back, I just flung open the bedroom door, let him have a quick look and then shut it.

“So I’m assuming Max is the one who sleeps in the crib then.” He said with a smirk on his face.

“Yes or else he’d get out and leave me at night” I said

“Well it’s getting busy, so I best get in there and work.  Drive safe, stay in touch, and be a good boy Jason ” He said as he reached the door and exited.

We weren’t alone for long when this white van pulled up right in front of the RV and parked.  UGH! I hate when somebody parks in front of the RV, especially when I have a car on the back.  Max could see my frustration and that I was about to go out there and ask them to move when he said. “Just my mom and sibs”

Knock knock Ding Dong. Came as his mom knocked and then one of the twins hit the doorbell

“Come in” I said as I opened the door to see Max’s mom, and brothers and sister.  I could tell the twins were pre-occupied with keeping their shirts pulled down. They all came in, which trust me 7 people in the RV is crowded house. Michael and Josh decided to go into the store instead, so we were a little less crowded in there.

“So how’s it going, what brings you to our humble abode?” I asked

“Nothing much, just thought we would stop by before heading to the mall in Ft Wayne and before you all headed out”

“We’re going to Disney World” Maggie said

“I heard!  You’re gonna have so much fun there.  Max and I are going to meet you guys there too, doesn’t that sound fun?” I said, getting down to her level.

By now Riley and David were sitting on the sofa bored. I was noticing that my diaper was nearing capacity and excused myself to the bedroom to change.  It was strange, I had not changed my own diaper often for the past month or so.

I came back out and threw my soggy diaper in the trash can, which was really my expensive diaper pail I used to have at home.

“Feel better?” Was all Max’s mom said. 

“Yeah, sorry I could not wait any longer” I said as I washed my hands. By now the twins were engrossed in their Nintendo switch.  I had noticed that Riley’s shirt had ridden up and his diaper was peeking above the waistband of his pants.

“Ya know if you’re going to keep them in diapers much you should invest in some onesies, then they don’t have to worry about their diapers showing above their jeans.”  When I said that Riley quickly realized I had seen his diaper, and quickly pulled his shirt down.

“I know a place in Ft. Wayne that has diapers and such for people like me, they have stock of onesies too.” I said directed to his mom

“Guys if you are constantly checking to see if your diaper is showing and pulling your shirt down, people will notice you more.” I said directed to the twins, Maggie was oblivious as she was playing with the cat, which he just loved the attention.

“I better not get laughed at because of this” Riley said, looking at David

“You started it by pouring water on me when I slept” David said

“You made me pee my bed” Riley said

“You both made extra work for me!!” Their mother said, “and still extra work!  We talked about you two growing up now that you’re almost 12, but maybe you are no more than 2 again, you sure do act like it!”

About then Riley started to look uncomfortable and started to fidget.  He was just about to say something when his mom noticed.

“You might as well get used to using it, because you’re in them till Tuesday morning or when I say your punishment is over.” She said

“But MOM, I gotta poop” he whined

“Oh well, too bad, best to do it here and you can get changed, than when we’re driving or at the mall and have to wait to be changed.” She said.  I made a mental note not to mess with her.

I leaned close to Riley and whispered “If you sit on your heels it will be easier”.  His eyes said it all ‘I don’t want to’

We continued talking about the upcoming vacation for them and the fun stuff at Disney and the things they were going to do. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and see Riley’s face go red and heard a grunt.

“Eeeww gross Riley, did you actually poop yourself” David said

“Shut up, I couldn’t hold it” he said tears beginning to form.

“It’s ok, I’ll get you changed.  David go get my backpack from the van please.  Can I use your bedroom guys?”  She asked

“Sure, there’s supplies in there and a changing mat on the bed” Max said

David came back with a nondescript backpack like I use for a diaper bag, and she ushered Riley to the back.  As she slid open the accordion door that separates the bedroom from the kitchen area she just said “Oh My!” And shut the door.

Max and I both looked at each other and giggled.

Soon enough the sound of ripping diaper tapes was heard, then some words followed by two sharp ‘snaps’ and some stifled crying.  About 4 minutes later Riley emerged from the bedroom and stomped over to the sofa and sat down.  Followed by Max’s mom carrying a rolled up diaper.

“How do I work this thing?” She asked talking about the diaper pail.  To which I informed her to just lift the lid and stuff it down into it, and with a snap of the door it was done. 

In the meantime David had decided that he too better get a poop out before they left, although he was a silent but deadly pooper.  He gladly and happily went with his mom to the bedroom, got changed without incident and came back out smiling.

“All better?” I asked

“Yep, and you got a cool bedroom and bed Jason” David said

“Yeah a freaking freak baby bedroom” Riley quipped, to which Maria, Max’s mom shot him a death ray stare.

“Since I left two smelly diapers in your trash the least we can do is offer to throw your trash out in the dumpster” Maria said

To which I obliged and prepared to remove the bag.  I have what amounts to a giant diaper genie, it is made by a company called Jannibel, and it is technically called an adult diaper disposal.  Basically the liner is a continuous trashbag liner.  So I opened the door, grabbed the knotted end and pulled the bag out, cut and tied it and tied a new knot in what was left in the diaper pail and we were ready for more trash.

“Well isn’t that unique” Maria said

“Yeah it is kinda handy, it basically makes custom sized trash bags.  For big stuff I just lift up on the area with the flaps and can put bigger stuff in there, but you’d be amazed what fits through the round hole in the top” I said

She handed the bag of trash to Riley and told him to put it in the trash dumpster next to the store.  As they were walking out Maria said “Nice bedroom. Take care and be good”

“Well that was an interesting morning, let’s go before it get’s more interesting.” Max said

I agreed, I grabbed the checklist, got the car hooked up, made sure all compartments were closed and locked, jacks up, slides in, and we were on our way, it was about noon at this point.  We had two hours before we would make it back to my house, and then we both wanted to get cleaned up before meeting my parents.

We got back to my house and I hopped in the shower, then got a quick shave to keep that boyish look all around.  Re-diapered and dressed while Max was getting cleaned up.  I had a nice onsie with Dinosaurs, pair of elastic waist jeans and my white sneakers.

“Well don’t you just look cute” Max said

“Yes I do” I said and rightly so.  In case I never mentioned it, I am what you would call short.  I am maybe 5 foot 4 inches at best.  Max is like 6 foot 3.  So there is almost a foot difference.  I almost need pedal extenders on the RV to drive it.  He almost needs to sit in the backseat of the Fiat to drive it, So even dressed as an adult I still look like a 16 year old, dressed as I was right there, an overgrown 10year old.

“Are you ready to go little boy.  Got your diaper bag packed?” Max asked

“Yep and yep” I replied

“Let me check your bag” He said as he looked through the bag and then took it into my bedroom and came back proclaiming it all packed up.

We drove to my parents house and walked right in, I could smell right away what my mom was cooking, something Italian. I could smell the meat sauce, so it was either spaghetti, lasagna or stuffed shells.

My mom turned around and about laughed at my appearance.  “Well aren’t you just precious.  You must be Max, Jason has told us so much about you.”

“Thank you, and this is what you get when you let him dress himself, I had nothing to do with it” He said

“We have lasagna, garlic bread and salad” She said

“Yummy.  Where’s dad?” I asked

“Right here, was just working on a project in my wood shop.” Dad said

“Oh what you working on?” I asked

“Oh just some things for customers at the craft fair, spice racks and shit” He said. “Let’s eat”

I helped set the table and brought the salad fixings to the table.  Mom had us all sit down while she brought the lasagna over to the table and set it down before going back to the kitchen and grabbed something else.  “Here we go” she said as she stood behind me and put a bib on me.

“This is embarrassing when you do it” I said

“Cool, I forgot to get his out of the diaper bag” Max said

“Well we don’t want to get anything on them nice clothes, do we” She said

We all ate dinner, made some small talk about heading down to Florida.  I invited my parents to join us, just fly down for Christmas.  Mom and Dad said they would think about it, and if not, maybe we could do something for New Years Eve or when we get back. I was kind of bummed out that they were not jumping at the chance to fly to Florida for the holidays but it was ok.  We agreed that we would definitely do something as soon as we got back home.

That night Max got me ready for bed as we talked about my parents not wanting to join us, and maybe it just wasn’t a good time for them.  Max and I talked about the future, what we want to do, where to head to next, where we see ourselves in the relationship going.  Pretty much everything was up in the air at this point.  We were going to try to leave next Saturday morning and head south, taking our time, hoping for  no 400 mile days, more like 200, maybe 250 miles in a day.

We started packing for our trip to Iceland, getting camera gear packed back up in the hard sided cases.  Tuesday I called the RV place and we went to see the progress on the bedroom.  They had gotten the old bed base out, had moved the water tank and were building the new bases.  I had the new mattresses shipped directly there, because why waste the time getting them at my house, the having to load them into the RV.  I got the Fiat to my mechanic for it’s maintenance and checked on the status of the package I shipped to our hotel in Iceland. 

Tuesday night we had all the bags in the living room ready to go, along with all our papers.  We got to bed early as we had a 7 AM flight.  I remember going to bed, but the next thing I remember was getting woke up and out of bed.  I was barely awake when I sat down at the table and got a bowl of cereal put in front of me and a cup of coffee.  I glanced at my watch and it was 3:00 AM.

“Ugh! it is too early for this” I whined

“I know buddy but we have to load the car, drive to the airport, get checked in and get through security. Then you can take a nap while we wait, and fly.  I groggily ate my cereal, drank my coffee, and then used the potty to move my bowels before being re-diapered.  I was then dressed and then we loaded the cobalt up, as it had more room.  Locked up the house, set the alarm and Max drove us to the airport.

We got the car checked into the parking lot, loaded all the luggage onto the shuttle, checked the luggage at the curb, then the fun began.

Somebody dressed me in a onesie with metal snaps, so not only did I set off the body scanner and metal detector, but I got searched too.  I had to go behind this partition and take my pj bottoms off, and strip to just my onesie; the TSA agent raised his eyebrows when I ended up with my pants around my ankles and in just a diaper.  He then used the hand held wand to see that it was just the snaps in my onesie and I was allowed to get re-dressed.

“You!!, I’m gonna get you!!” I said with pointed fingers at Max, who just laughed at my predicament.

“But it was so funny” He said

We found our gate and had an hour to spare before the plane arrived. Max had found a place that had drinks and snacks, so he went and got something to eat and bring with us.  He came back with a bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice as well.  He reached into my backpack and pulled my sipper cup out and mixed the water and apple juice together, and I sat there like a good boy and drank my drink; when I wasn’t trying to get back to sleep.

We heard the boarding call for our flight to JFK and grabbed our stuff.  A gate agent walked up to us and said “Those with handicapped or small children can go ahead and board, so you two can go ahead and get situated on board.”

I was kind of taken aback, but Max just went along with it, grabbed my sippy cup and put it in the pocket on my backpack and took my hand as we boarded the plane. We found a seat and max got our carry-ons in the bin while I got comfy in my seat and got my iPad out.

The flight was pretty uneventful, I used my iPad and headphones to play games and watch some videos, falling asleep part way through the flight.

We were probably 20 minutes prior to landing when I woke up and noticed that my diaper was very soggy.  I must have over did it on liquids.  “I need changed when we get off the plane” I whispered to Max. 

“Ok buddy, daddy will get you taken care of when we land” he said

Probably about 5 minutes before landing I felt the rumble in my stomach.  Now I REALLY did not want to do that, I held out until we landed, and then we got stuck on the taxiway waiting for other planes to get cleared for the gate.

Max could see I was in distress, and I’m pretty sure he knew why too.  “I’ll take care of it no matter what”

I held it in until we got to the gate but as I stood up it slipped out and all inside the back of my diaper.  I was so embarrassed, but Max was just comforting telling me ‘it’s ok, that’s why you have one on’

As we walked out of the plane others noticed the smell starting to waft from me. One lady said “smells like somebody needs a change” as she passed me.

We asked a gate agent where the bathrooms were, and she pointed to a family bathroom.  Max took my hand as we walked towards the family bathroom, dragging our luggage in tow.  He opened the door and we walked in. 

This place was amazing, it had a large lobby type room, and then two private rooms that were for families.  Inside the smaller room was a large changing table, big enough for a big adult, so plenty sturdy for my small 5’4 145lbs frame.  Max made very quick work of getting me undressed and stripping the filthy diaper off and cleaning me up.  Before he rediapered me, I was made to sit on the potty for 5 minutes to see if I still needed to poop more, which I didn’t.  He then had me hop back on the table before he  re-diapered me thickly. 

He told me to sit on the edge of the table while he went potty and then we washed our hands before exiting the stall to see several other parents waiting to get in there.  Some with actual babies, toddlers, and a few with older normal looking kids.

We walked out and found our next gate.  We had a 3 hour layover before a 6 hour flight.  With nothing else to do I popped my earbuds in and put on some calming music, blew up my neck pillow and used my coat as a cover and fell asleep. 

Probably 30 minutes before the flight I was jostled awake by Max who said I needed to go to the bathroom before the flight.  He grabbed my diaper bag and left the luggage sitting there where a mom and her two kids were seated and said they would watch them while we were gone.  I was changed into a thick diaper with stuffer, since my other one was quite sodden, and it was going to be a long flight.

We got back to the gate right as the plane pulled up and disembarked it’s current passengers. Again we were told we could get on with the handicapped and children.  Found a seat and I drank some more juice from my sippy cup before getting my iPad out again.  I was awake long enough to hear the safety instructions and then I was dozing off again.  I awoke a couple times, and found Max asleep as well.  On the third time Max was up and typing away on his iPad and quietly conversing to the person across the aisle.

“Yeah, just like a toddler, he is so precious.  Oh hey buddy, did you have a nice nap?” Max said as he noticed me awake.

I shook my head yes and said hello.  We had about 45 minutes to land and we would be in Reykjavík Iceland.  Luckily I was only wet, and no urge to poop this flight.  Once we landed, Max got our carry-ons out of the overhead bin, and we headed to baggage claim.  I had wanted to get a diaper change prior to customs, but there are no bathrooms until after. To keep people from ditching contraband.

As we walked through customs, of course I got flagged with the obvious bulge in my pants.  They asked what it was, and I told them it was an adult diaper, and I needed to change after the flight.  We got pulled into a back screening room, where they searched my bags and had me remove my pants and onsie to see that it was in fact a diaper.  They were nice enough to point me to a bathroom and advised I could change, and that the room was under CCTV monitoring, so if I was concealing anything they would see.  I went in alone and changed into a plain white diaper that I had in my diaper bag and left the other one in there.

A big burly Icelandic border patrol agent came up to me when we exited and said he was the supervisor “I apologize that they made you do that in there.  There is no sense in that, so sorry”.

We cleared customs and got the address out for the hotel and tour company that we were with, they were waiting for us to take us to the hotel.  By now it was going on 8:00 at night, the weather was great for viewing the northern lights.  We rushed to the hotel, got a quick bite to eat, and were back in the lobby at 10:45 PM to head out to see the northern lights.  We travelled for about 45 minutes out of the city where there was no light pollution, but boy was it cold.  I had my camera case along with my tripod.  I found a good spot, setup the tripod, got the camera out and setup.  They had a little shack with a wood stove that we could warm up in, and I ran in there a few times when Max would come out and get me.  We were out there for about 4 hours and as we got back to the hotel the sun was about to come up in an hour. 

The front desk welcomed us back with hot cocoa and warm sandwiches.  We trudged up to our room, I got my MacBook out and on the WiFi and started uploading the photos to my storage.  Then it was a quick diaper change and I was out.

The next day we basically slept in until about 1:00 PM before venturing down to the lobby and out onto the street.  We got some local food from a local place and it was fish and very very good.  Then we just had to go to the Icelandic phallological  museum, it’s a penis museum. We ended up just walking around and looking at the shops and such, rode the local mass transit and shopped some more.

We went out again to another place to view the northern lights again, this time I setup and did a time lapse for the 3 hours we were out there, I set the camera up to do it and stayed in the warmth of the shack unless I had to change a battery out.

On the 5^th evening we again packed up and headed back to the airport. Max had thickly diapered me up for the flight and I was attired in a printed onesie and my light track pants for the flight.  We landed at JFK at 6:00 AM, just in time to get my diaper changed, and check in for a flight back to Ohio.

We were back in ohio on Monday by 10:00 AM and back home by Noon. I did the driving home, and as we pulled into the driveway the RV was back and powered up next to the garage.  We both drug our luggage into the house and crashed.  I think we woke up around 7 PM and decided to just get pizza and wings delivered.  I was so tired from all the traveling that I did not even care that I answered the door in nothing but a onesie and a diaper.  We ate and then worked a bit on the blog and photos & video and then went back to bed. 

My mom came over the next morning to feed the cat, forgetting that we were home (or maybe she was just being nosy), and brought some home made banana bread for us.

“Did you have a nice time?”

“We did and thank you for coming to feed Zorro and for the bread” I said

“Where too next? And when?” She asked

“Probably some place warm!” Max said

“Yeah probably in a week or two, and yes somewhere warm. Still discussing the specifics.” I said

Wednesday morning we went into town and grabbed my Cobalt from the mechanic and paid them for the work they did, it had a clean bill of health. Found out that my mechanic was waiting for the needed parts for doing the oil change and transmission service on the fiat, since it required special filters and such.  He should get it in next Tuesday.

I tossed the keys for the Cobalt to Max, as he was going to drive it to his parents that evening.  We both stopped at the grocery store and got some groceries, gassed both vehicles up and headed back to the house to unload the groceries.

Before he left he changed my diaper, and as he walked out the door he kissed me goodbye.  He had a 90 minute drive to his house.

As he pulled up to his parent’s house his mom was surprised to say the least.

“What are you doing home?  I didn’t think you could get off this soon, and who’s car is that?” She asked

“Surprise, I was able to make it home.  The car belongs to a friend, he let me borrow it for the weekend” Max said

“Nice little car” she said. “So how’s your work been”

“Uh, good, was glad I could get back home after starting this soon” He said, trying to make up how his non-existent job is going

“Your dad’s still at the store, closing at 7:00 tonight.  Did you have any laundry that needs done?” His mom asked

“Nope, got it all done before I came” He said

Just then his dad’s pickup truck lumbered into the driveway and he soon came in.

“How’s it going son, who’s car is that?” His dad said

“Going good, and the car is my friend’s car” He said, wondering where his siblings were.  “Where’s everybody else at?”

“Your brothers and sister went to the church to youth group, they are setting up for the community Thanksgiving tomorrow.  They should be home soon” His mom said

Max sat down in the family room and started texting back and forth with me.  He said he was thinking about coming clean, and telling them about me, but wasn’t sure.

Just then his brothers and sister arrived from church.  His brother Michael, who was 6 years younger than him was driving.  His 4 siblings ranged from 5 to 18 years old.

They all sat down for dinner, which was meatloaf.  Then it went downhill when his little brother Riley got ahold of Max’s phone and looked through the photos and saw a selfie of Max and I and of all the places that we had been. Of course the photos just happened to have a few of me in baby clothes.

“Give me that” Max said as he grabbed the phone

“Who’s that weird kid in your photos?” Riley asked

“A friend of mine” Max said

“That one photo it looks like he had a diaper on. Why does he dress so weird?” Riley said

“He just does, quit snooping in my phone” Max snapped.

After dinner when the little kids were sent off to bed and the older 2 went to their rooms, it was just Max and his mom and dad.

“So, what is up,  you about ripped Riley’s head off earlier.  You run off and start a job right after getting done with a vacation and haven’t talked about this job either, so what gives” Max’s dad said

“Ok, I have not been truthful.  While on the cruise I met somebody and have been spending time with him.” Max said

“Him, Him!  Are you saying that you are gay?” His mom said

“I don’t know.  It is complicated. I’ll try to explain the best I can” Max said as he unlocked his iPad.

“This is Jason, he is basically a giant toddler.  He’s 25, but mostly lives as if he is a 3 or 4 year old, who pretends to be an adult.” Max said as he showed his mom and dad Jason’s photos and some short video clips.

“Ok, yeah that is weird” His dad said

“On the cruise the first night he came to dinner dressed like this. I seriously thought he was mentally handicapped or some sick freak, but he is neither.  He’s just a big kid and he is fun to be with.“ Max said 

“What is he one of those people who wear diapers and sleep in cribs?  I saw them on the discovery channel, very weird people.” His mom said

“Yep, and I guess that makes me his daddy” Max said getting agitated.

“You have student loans to pay for, and don’t think I am going to be sending money to you while you gallivant around with him” Max’s dad said

“No problem, he takes care of that.  He has more than enough income for us both to be able to travel around.  I was worried about that too.  To be honest he agreed to pay my student loans for as long as we’re traveling together, plus 6 months, and I will always have a way back home anytime I wish to leave or just want to come home.” Max said

“So what is it he does for money? Is it legal?” His mom asked

“He came into money, and he is a travel blogger, he has a YouTube channel that brings in money.  He has invested money and is making good returns off of it too” He said. “We spent several days on the cruise together, and a week texting, and then the next two weeks in Florida, before taking off and heading up this way.  Next week we are going to Iceland to shoot the northern lights and tour.”

“Don’t ask me what it is, but I just love being his daddy.  When I was with Susan, she got me into playing the daddy role, she liked to wear diapers and have me baby her too” He said. 

“Really? She always seemed to be such a normal girl” His Mom said

“Mom, there’s no such thing as normal, everybody has something that somebody else finds strange.  Jason is just that kid that never wanted to grow up, and now he doesn’t have to grow up” Max said

“So not that it is my business,  but you two aren’t having sex, you are just changing diapers and helping him film his blog and drive?” His mom said

“Yep pretty much so.  We were currently sleeping in the same bed, but that was just because the bed in the back was more comfy than sleeping on the sofa.  He is getting the bedroom switched so it has twin beds next week.  I’m not attracted to guys or girls, I’m just not wanting to be alone.”

“Ok, is there more?” His dad asked

“Now Jason is gay, or so he says.  He has never seen me as more than a daddy, and I see him no more than my little boy.  I care for him and want nothing wrong to ever happen to him.  He said he was just tired of being alone on the road.  He travelled to some very remote places, where it would not be safe if you cannot protect yourself.”

They talked for a couple more hours about Max and Jason being together, and it was agreed that the story remains that Max is working doing forestry work around the country. This was so as not to have to explain topics to his younger siblings at this time, but Max did say that at some point they must tell them the truth.

Max had told his parents that he was going to Iceland next week and would be back again for Christmas.

My Wednesday night was pretty much mundane too.  Mom made some casserole of sorts, it was good and she sent me home with the recipe. 

We talked a bit about Max, and what our relationship really was and where it was going and more importantly where we were going physically next week.

Thursday was Thanksgiving and we both celebrated with our respective families, Max with his parents and brothers and sister.  My parents and I went to my Aunt’s house, she always hosted thanksgiving

It was the first time in many years since I had been there, since the feeling always was that I was not welcome, ya know my dad throwing me out and all.  Not to mention, I was usually working since nobody else wanted to work it.

It had started to get cold so I wore a pair of jeans, onsie, sweatshirt overtop my diaper.  I packed my diaper bag with a couple changes in them and set out to go into town.   At my aunts I quickly found that I was way too hot in the sweatshirt, and took it off leaving me in a onesie with baby prints on it, which raised a few heads.  I also was still at the little kids table too, I mean after all, it is who I am.

I sat down and was just about ready to eat when my mom came up behind me and snapped a bib around my neck.  I got this for you, I saw it online and it was just you.

So here I was trying to be a grown up, and my mom just put me back into toddler role.  In the end it was good, because I got the bib dirty.  When dinner was done I took it off and put it in my diaper bag and would take it home and add to my growing collection.

Nobody really said anything about the bib, the clothes or anything.  They were more interested in my travels. I ended up sitting down and showing off all my photos that I had not already put on my blog and in videos.  I had to excuse myself at one point to go to the bathroom.  My mom noticed and directed me to the guest bedroom and offered to change me, which I mean who am I to turn down a free change at this point. I came out holding the printed diaper and put it in the kitchen trash can.

“All better?” My aunt asked

“Yeah” Was all I said

“What are you and Max doing tomorrow?” My mom asked

“Dunno” Was my only reply “it depends on when he gets back home, it might be tomorrow”

“You boys are always welcome to join us for dinner Friday night” She said

“We’ll see” I said as I gathered my stuff up and headed out.

When I got home Max was not there.  This seriously was the first time in over a month that I was alone, it felt weird.  I got myself ready for bed and sound asleep.  Only to awake the next morning to an empty house.  I got up and took a shower and changed and worked on the computer at the kitchen table, by noon I was growing tired and bored, so I went in my room to take a nap. I was awoken when I heard the beep of the alarm signaling the back door opening, soon my bedroom door cracked open as Max checked on his sleeping little one.

The rest of the weekend was kind of a bore, Max came back about 2:00 PM Friday, I knew that he would not be back till sometime that late Thursday  night or Friday morning.  He had gotten some of his stuff from his parent’s house. Including his handgun and some ammo, his MacBook, warm winter clothes, passport and legal documents, pocket knife, and other stuff that he wanted.  He also brought some groceries, after all when your folks own the grocery store you might as well hit it up.

We switched drivers and we pushed thru to my place and arrived around 5:00 PM. I backed the RV in, and searched for my keys to unlock the garage and turn the power on out there, called my assistant and my landlord to let them know I had arrived back and would probably be entering the house, so they were aware that the alarm system would be disarmed.

We hopped out, disconnected the car and then parked it over in front of the garage door, I got inside the side door to the garage and flicked the lights on and made my way to the breaker panel and turned on the breakers for the RV outlets and then backed the RV into it’s spot.

I got the electric hooked up and then we headed up to the house.  I unlocked the back door and quickly made my way to the alarm panel to disarm it.  I had turned almost every breaker off when I left, the fridge was empty, cleaned out and the door propped open.  Really the only electric I had left on was to the alarm, the HVAC, cameras and internet.  I had shut off all the appliances like stove, dryer, washer, refrigerator and more.  I flicked them on one by one, as the house came back to life with beeps and clicks.  I checked that the water ran, and toilet would flush.

“Ok it is going to take time for the fridge to get cold, the water to get hot and, for it to get warmer in here as I turned up the heat some.  I was thinking about staying in the RV tonight and then getting stuff back in here tomorrow morning” I said as I walked through the house to be sure stuff was as it was left. I took the time to text mom to let her know we just arrived in the area.  To which she insisted we do breakfast in the morning.

“Sounds like a plan, let’s get you changed and then we can find something to eat” Max replied

We ended up going into town about 10 miles away and getting Mexican food, which was good but not as good as the stuff in the southwest.  We made it back to the house about 10 pm and we both crashed.  I had set my alarm for 7:00 so that we could be ready for breakfast around 8:00.

“So what are we supposed to tell your folks about me?” Max asked.

“The truth, you’re daddy. They know about you” I said.  “The more important questions is what do you tell your folks”

“I’ve thought about that for the past week.  I just don’t know.  I mean I don’t think of myself as gay, or as your lover, even though I do love you to death don’t get me wrong.  I hate to use the term friend, because you are so much more to me than that, but would it be ok if I just call you a friend for now?” Max said

“That is fine, I know that this is hard, especially if your parents are anything like mine used to be.  Speaking of my parents we need to get ready to meet them” I said as I climbed out of bed.

“You going in the house? Or showering here?” Max asked

“Inside, I don’t have dump facilities here, so can’t fill up the tanks too much” I said as I grabbed my stuff from the bathroom and a change of clothes and diapers.

“Ok be there in a few. Just got to gather my stuff” Max said

I headed inside and into the nice warm house.  I stripped in the bathroom and warmed the hot shower up.  I think I must have taken one of the longest showers that I had had in months, since I did not have to worry about grey tank capacity, water hookups or the small hot water heater in the RV.  I heard max come into the back door and that he was walking around the bedroom.

When I was finished I dried off and stepped into the bedroom to find the changing mat, and an outfit already laid out and Max waiting for me.  “I figured you wanted to dress a little more grown up than you normally do since your folks and all” He said

“They know about me, hell I think everybody who’s ever seen my YouTube knows about me, but yeah, it never hurts to dress closer to my age” I said as I laid down and Max diapered me up.

Max then got a shower, he too taking his time to soak in the unlimited water before emerging and getting dressed.  We were ready to roll.  Feed the kitty before we leave and lock up.

Mom and Dad were already waiting for us at the local hole in the wall family restaurant when we arrived.

“So how long you boys home for?” My dad asked.

“Well until after Thanksgiving at least.  Gonna take a break from the hustle and bustle of traveling and get caught up on some stuff.” I said.

“I’m going up to my parents Wednesday, then probably back here on Saturday or Sunday and help Jason.  I know we were wanting to deep clean the RV and work on some interior projects before it gets too darn cold.”

We continued to make small talk back and forth, asked if I would be home for Christmas or not?  I said we probably will be, but not certain.  What time I should come over for thanksgiving. Etc..

We finished, I picked up the tab and headed out after hugs and kisses, and a pat on the bottom from my mom to me.

We got back at the house and got all the laundry into the house and started a load in the washer, then got my old Chevy cobalt out of the garage and made sure it ran.  I took it into town to my mechanic and dropped it off for a full going over, oil change etc… then back to the house, another load of laundry. Then start to clean the house and get the spare bedroom and my bedroom setup for us to stay for a few days.

Before we left Florida I had started the re-design the bedroom of the RV for the need of two separate beds.  There was a water tank under the bed now, and that would need to be moved, but it was something that could be done. The other bed would have storage under it which would make up for the loss of the bedside table on each side of the bed, and a shelf would be added above the beds.  It was tight with the slide in, but we would make it work.  So once I had everything out of the RV that we would need, I drove it to the RV shop where they would modify the bedroom by building the bases for the beds and moving the plumbing around for the water tank.

I also wanted to have the ability to move the bed bases back to being a King sized bed, if I needed to move it back in the future, I would just have to remove a set of bolts and the bed with the storage can be moved with very little issues.

The renovation on the bedroom was going to take the rest of this week and into the next week.  I had ordered new mattresses for the new beds and they should arrive next Monday.  In the mean time we brought the king sized mattress into the house, as I will put that in the guest room, as it needed a new bed.

Through the afternoon we both alternated between working on laundry, getting work caught up around the house, and planning our next trip.  With it being winter, we wanted to be able to stay in warm areas if possible.  I’ve drove around the country for the last 5 months, now with it getting cold, I’m not looking forward to winter and guess what, I don’t have to; that is if I don’t want to.

“So where do you want to go from here?” I asked Max

“Wherever the wind blows us I guess.” He replied

“What would you think about flying up to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, next weekend, just fly there for a week and then when we come back we go some place warm.

“Sounds fun, I’ll need to get my really cold gear that I had shipped home when I go home this weekend.  My passport is still valid for another two years, so that is good” Max said

I had James, my assistant start making the reservations for airfare, car,  hotel, tours.  As soon as I had a hotel name and address I had a case of diapers shipped to the hotel.

With all our laundry done, we packed it all back into the totes that we use for clothes.  Since we were going to be staying here for another week, or so, I decided we needed to get a little bit more groceries than what he had on hand.

After sitting for 2 weeks my fresh water in the tank was nasty and stagnant tasting, so I found an RV park where I could dump and refill at.  I only had a half tank of water, but it needed dumped and sanitized along with cleaning the other two tanks.  I found a RV park close to the cruise port that let me fill up my fresh water tank, dumped the bleach into it, ran the water a bit to get the pipes filled with the bleach water.  Next stop was the RV park I would stay at for a few days.

I stayed near Disney, but did not really need to stay AT Disney.

I had called Max the night before to see if he was still in the area and if he wanted to meet up or not? He had said he was in the area for 3 more days and did want to meet for dinner.  As soon as I got parked I pulled out my cell and phoned up Max

“Hey there little one” He said, putting me straight into little mode.  “Did you enjoy your cruise without adult supervision?”

“I’m a big boy and don’t need supervision.” I said, obviously that is not going to be believable.  “Did you want to meet up to go out to dinner, or want me to pick you up or something?”

“Sure, when would work for you?” Max asked

“Well I got my fresh water tank full of bleach water.  I just have to empty the tanks out, refil and flush 2 more times.  I can empty the tanks quick and do a fill up and flush, then I just have one left to do later.” I said.

We ended up doing that period between lunch and dinner and sat and talked for over 2 hours, then he came back to the RV park and we talked for several more hours. As I finished the final flush and refil. 

“You have to waste all that water?  You filled, flushed and refilled 3 times.” He said

“Yes, unless I want to drink nasty water, or water that tastes like bleach.  I actually put a cup of bleach into the sewer tank and filled it up and sloshed it on the way up.  The whole RV stunk like sewer when I picked it up.” I said

“Gross”

“Yeah it is.  So what ya been doing?” I asked.

“Well I went to universal studios for a couple days, tried to have some fun but it’s not fun alone.” He said

“Well when do you fly out home?” I asked

“Wednesday, so I got 2 more days here” He said

“Any plans?” I asked

“Nope, running low on funds, probably just stay at the hotel by the pool” He said

“Well we could hit up EPCOT tomorrow, or the magic kingdom, my treat” I said.

“I mean if you want to, I don’t want to mooch off you, or impose on your plans, hold you up or anything” He said

“It’s no problem, if I had wanted to be alone or not invite you I would not have asked and offered.  So, What you doing when you go back home, any prospective job offers?”  I asked, Really getting to why I wanted to see him again.

“Nope nothing new, probably go work for the fall and winter at the grocery store and then hope for something in the spring. Or possibly go back to Colorado and hope to find work in the national park or forrests” He said, kinda bummed out about the situation.

“I’m just throwing an idea out there, how would traveling around the country with a special little one and his kitty cat sound?” I said, just off the cuff

You could see his mind finally work out what I had just said and try to wrap his mind around it all.  “But I can’t afford that, I need to be working to pay my student loans back. I don’t have the money to be able to travel around as I please.”

“What if you actually could do just that, travel around as you please and not worry about the bills and never be alone in your travels?” I said

“I’m not as lucky as you are to be able to not worry about the bills.  Are you asking what I think you are asking?  But what about my student loans, or other money, I mean how would I pay my bills, you’re not wanting to pay my bills out of your money and I wouldn’t feel right doing that either” He rambled

“I have not been truly open and honest with you, and I want to be.  I am who I say I am, but the circumstances around how I can do all this is, I have not given you the whole picture.” I said, hoping he was not upset with me.

“What do you mean, you’ve been lying to me?” He said growing upset.

“I hate to be vague and do this but my lawyers say I have to for my own safety.  Can I trust you with my deepest secrets, stuff you can never reveal to anybody including your parents or mine?” I said being serious

“What is it that you are so secretive about?” He asked growing more annoyed.

“In February I bought a lotto ticket when the pot was like 225 mill.  I won the whole thing.  Took home 150 Mill.  Nobody but me, my lawyer and now you know, not even my parents though I think they have an idea or so, just not how much” I said

“Bull shit!!!” He said not believing a word of it

“Google 250 million mega millions winner.  It comes up as Jdapizzaguy LLC winning it.  J for Jason da pizza guy”

“Ok” He said as he looked up the search results, and I pulled out of my wallet the info I have showing I am who I am, like the Amex and other credit cards in the business my name.

“Holy Shit!!” He said

“Yeah” I said

“So you were serious about the whole coming with you thing?” He looked at me inquisitively

“I sure was. Now my lawyer says that I have to have you sign a NDA and there is an agreement of what I am offering” I said.  Basically my lawyer wanted me to have him sign the NDA before telling him about the winnings, as it is not wise that somebody knows that info, but I did it anyways. 

Basically the agreement was that I would pay his student loans as long as he was traveling with me, plus 6 months. He would get an amount of money for his own use each month that he can either use or save, all normal expenses on the road would be covered as well. If he wanted to leave at any time, he had a guarantee of return travel home. 

I told him that he could think about it.  If he had to go back home, I’d fly him back to where I was at when he was ready to join me.

“So what do you get out of this?” He asked

Good question there…. “Well I get somebody who I truly enjoy being with, somebody who seems to truly enjoys and accepts me for who I am.  We both get to travel and keep each other company.  I’m not looking for sex, like we both talked about on the cruise, just somebody to be with.  I know it is a big decision, and I respect that if you don’t want to do it, or want time to think about it, or never want to see me again.  All I ask is that you keep my secret secret.” I said

“You know, how about I think about it for the next few days, like what I would tell my folks that I am doing, they’d never understand the whole diaper and ABDL thing.  I’ll have to think about it.”  He said.

By now the afternoon had turned into evening and the sun was setting in the September sky. I had ordered in Pizza, as my food supply was really limited after being on a cruise for 2 weeks.  While waiting for the pizza, Max decided that I needed a diaper change.  When he got done changing my diaper he left me in just my onsie and we went back outside.  I was not normally this barely dressed, and to be honest was embarrassed when the pizza guy came and I was sitting in my lawn chair in just a onsie and diaper, sucking on my binky.

We ate and max tucked me into bed and left.  I dreamed about what life would be like with him with me.  I still had so many more places that I wanted to see before heading back home. I hoped Max could come with me.

I didn’t hear anything from him the next day, and it was late that night around midnight when I got a call.

“Hello” I said

“Hello little one, shouldn’t you be in bed?” He said in his daddy tone

“I would have been but somebody decided to call me” Smartly replying

“Let’s do this!” Was all he said

“Huh” I said not catching what he was offering

“I’m going to take you up on your offer, I have thought it through and I’m ready to give it a try.  Might need to get some things, seeing as I only packed for a vacation.” He said

“That’s fine we can go shopping, or have stuff shipped from home or wherever.  I got to go shopping at a walmart tomorrow, rations are getting slim.” I said

“I can drop my stuff off tomorrow and then we can turn in my rental and go over the details” he said “sorry for calling so late, was on the phone with my parents telling them about this.  My dad was not happy, my mom was worried too”

“What did you tell them?” Wondering if he let it slip what was really going on.

“I told them I was going to be traveling with a conservation group doing shit like planting trees and shit” He said, which sounded like a good cover story. “My dad was mad because I had said I was going to be home to work the holidays, my mom just worries about me all the time.”

It was then that it dawned on me, there is thanksgiving and christmas coming up, and he may want to get back home to his parents, and they likely wanted to see him too. 

“So tomorrow, come over whenever, and use the code for the door, well need to plan out what we want to do and go.  I love you but I am too tired to stay up longer” I said and we ended the call

The next morning I woke up and got some coffee brewing and I had scrambled some eggs that I got the day before, still in my night diaper I hear a car door shut and a knock at my side door.

“Come in” I said before the first knock, as I had seen who it was on the security cameras.

“Somebody is up early.  I came over so I could get you up and changed, but you’re already up.” Max Said

“Yeah I wake up early, go to bed early too.  That is usually the plan, sometimes I get up early to get a sunrise, or stay up late to do a overnight time lapse too.” I said

I gave him the tour of the RV, all the controls, and such, the rules of things like what can go down the sink, and the toilet and what needs trashed, about water usage and such.

“So just a question that I had not thought about, where will I sleep, do you want me to share the bed in the back with you?” He asked

“Well it is a king sized bed , but there is also the sofa that converts into a bed too.  I can also see if I can get the bedroom modified to have 2 twin beds if that would be better, but that won’t be unless we swing back to ohio, which leads me to a question for you.  With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, do you want to go home to see your family for those?” I asked

“I can share the bed with you, I just didn’t know if we wanted to get that much involved or not.  I too was wondering about the holidays, my folks asked if I was at least coming home for Christmas, I told them I didn’t know.”

“Yeah I was thinking about going home for Thanksgiving for a few days, or a week.  By then it will have been almost 5 months since I have been back to my house.” I said

We unpacked his stuff into the RV, returned his rental car and then came back to the RV and plotted out our plans.  The goal was to be home that Monday before Thanksgiving, which allowed us to have some wiggle room before the holiday.  After figuring out our game plan, we made a shopping list of food and other items we would need and then took off in the Fiat to the local stores.  I had to pickup some stuff at the local FedEx store too, more diapees.

I had another 3 days booked at the campground, so we decided that tomorrow we would go back to disney, because you really cannot have too much time at disney.  It was magical as I was dressed up as my toddler self and did not need to act grown up at all, I even called Max ‘Daddy’ a few times.  We rode all the rides we could and stayed for the fireworks, though I was dog tired when we got back to the car, and max drove us back to the campground.  I woke up when we crossed over the speed bumps entering the campground and made it into the RV.  I wanted to start to download my photos and video like I normally do, but daddy had other plans.

“It’s your bedtime buddy, let’s get you changed and maybe you can come back out here and copy the files over, but then it is off to bed for you”, Max said as he directed me to the bedroom and grabbed the changing supplies and got me in my night diaper and a clean onsie.  I was allowed to load the SD cards from the cameras onto the hard drive and start the backup onto the cloud, but was sent to bed with a bottle.

Max slept on the sofa that night, which honestly is comfy, I slept on it many times while waiting for an upload to finish, or watching tv.

I woke up the next morning to Zorro meowing that he was about to die of starvation and felt the soggy crinkle of my diaper.  I found max on the sofa in just a t-shirt and some track pants.  I truly tried to be as quiet as I could, but I could only be so quiet.

I got the coffee pot started and fried myself an egg and left the skillet on the stove in case Max wanted some when he woke up.  I grabbed my MacBook and sat at the dinette and started to do my blog post and edit videos and photos.  It was probably an hour or so when Max finally awoke.

“Hey baby, did you sleep good?  I smell coffee, and you got breakfast too” He said

“Uh huh, but I’m soakee and need to poopy” I said in a little voice.

“Well you can go ahead and mess then baby, it’s ok, daddy will change you.” He said. 

I sure hope that messing was not going to be a normal thing, as I don’t like it, but maybe it won’t be that bad if I am not the one changing it.  I got up and sat on my heels and pushed the load out into my diaper.

“That’s daddy’s good baby. You tinky though.  Let’s get that butt changed” He said as he directed me back to the bedroom.  He changed me out of my soiled diaper, and directed me to get a shower and he would be waiting for me.

I went and got a shower and came back to the bedroom where a fresh diaper was waiting for me.  Max re-diapered me before sending me back to the computer so he could take a shower.  When he emerged he went into the bedroom and got dressed and came back to me working on today’s blog.

“So what ya want to do today? Little one?” He said

“Well I need to finish this blog and video, and then I dunno, wanna do wizarding world an universal?” I said, my face lighting up

“Sure buddy, let’s get a diaper bag packed for you and some snacks” He said as he grabbed my backpack that I used for a diaper bag and stocked it up with changing supplies and then put some snacks in a backpack that he carried.  We headed over to universal studios and spent the whole day immersed in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

Around 2:00 pm after we had been there a few hours, Max asked an employee where the family or handicapped bathroom was.  They directed us to it and Max ushered me into the bathroom and hoisted me up onto the very large changing table and began changing my diaper without me have even asked for it. 

“I could tell that you were going to be needing a fresh diaper soon, did you need to do #2 while we are here?” To which I shook my head that I did not.

“Ok,  but if you need to go from now until we get back to the RV it is going to be in your diaper” He said, which I understood.

We  finally ended up at City Walk for dinner before  heading back to the RV. I was allowed to stay up later as we both sat outside by the fire and under the stars.

“So tomorrow you want to stay here more or hit the road?” I asked

“I dunno, did you want to do more or not?” He said

“I’m cool either way” I replied

“Let’s decide in the morning, OK?”

“Sure thing, I’m almost done editing and uploading” I said

That night after he changed me and tucked me in, he climbed into the bed with me and snuggled up to me and patted my bottom and called me a crinkly baby.

The next morning we awoke and had breakfast.  Then we decided to head north.  I got out the packing up checklist and I ran through it with him.  We decided since we both can drive, to not hook up the fiat until we got out of Orlando.  I had bought 2-way radios when I got the RV anyways and now I could use them. 

We got everything loaded, dumped, and disconnected and were on the road by 11 am.  We drove for about 90 minutes and pulled over at a truck stop, where we coupled the car up and he hopped into the RV and we drove north towards Jacksonville.

I pulled into an abandoned parking lot and we stopped for a quick snack and Max tried his hand at driving and backing the RV with the car attached, when he felt he was comfortable enough he started out onto the roads, and I navigated.  We stuck to the less travelled roads and 4 lane highways until he got the hang of it.  While navigating I had found a free campsite near Tybee Island, GA.  We would stop here for the night or maybe two, as the sun was almost set.  Luckily we got a pull thru spot and could leave the car hooked up. 

I grabbed the handy dandy checklist and did the process for boondocking, and then we made dinner.  OK, Max did most of it, but I helped.  We had spaghetti with meat sauce.  I was just about to sit down to eat when max came up behind me and fastened a bib around my neck.  I forgot I even had a bib, he had found it in the towel drawer in the kitchen.

“Don’t want to get your nice clothes dirty Little one” He said as he snapped the bib in the back and then sat down to eat himself.

“About the only time I get spaghetti is when I go out to eat, I just never fix the right amount of pasta when I make it, and waste stuff.  I either make too much pasta, or not enough, and then since it is just me I end up throwing half of the sauce away and the extra pasta too” I said. “Usually I am just Chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, and pot pies in the oven”

It goes without saying that I was a messy eater and had sauce on the bib and some on my face too.  When max and I were finished he grabbed my plate and stacked it on top of his and came behind me and wiped my face with a wet paper towel and removed my bib before clearing the table.  Outside of being changed by him I had never felt so little.

We spent the night there, and then saw the sights the next morning and day before returning that evening for another overnight.  The next morning it was time to head out.  Hooked the car back up, ran through the checklist and headed up to myrtle beach where we stayed for a few days.

I had been monitoring the weather situation and decided that we needed to head towards our next stop.

We drove from Myrtle beach to Cherokee NC, it took both of us taking turns driving, as we were trying to beat the snow and ice.  Once we reached Cherokee NC, we stayed for a night at a local RV park and the next morning we uncoupled the car from the RV and Max followed in the fiat as we wound our way up the newfound gap road into the Great Smokey Mountain National park.  We passed Clingman’s dome, stopping at the newfound gap state line parking lot, and then back tracked in the fiat to Clingmans dome.  I had energy but about half way up I was ready to stop, but Max said “If we made it this far, we need to finish”

It was worth feeling like I was dying to see it.  The highest point in the smokies, I got some excellent photos and videos.  The walk back down was hard to keep myself from just running down but then my feet could not keep up and I almost fell on the trail.  Max turned into daddy mode “Maybe somebody needs a harness to keep them from running off”

Which caused me to blush as there were others around and he wasn’t quiet about it.  He pulled me over to one of the benches and took out a sippy cup and a bottle of water and filled the cup and handed it to me.  “We’re gonna rest for 10 minutes and then we can walk the rest of the way” He said

I just sat there and drank my sippy cup in my overalls while people walked by and smiled at me.  When we got to the bottom I wanted to go to the gift shop.  I got a magnet and a candy bar, which I promptly ate.

We got back to the car and Max said he had to use the bathroom and asked if I needed changed. 

“Not yet, but probably later” I said and he left to go to the bathroom.

I took the time to check my phone, but there was no cell service up here.  I waited patiently for Max to come back, then we headed back to the RV.  Once inside he directed me to the bedroom and checked my diaper and changed me.  We then continued the rest of the way through the Smoky Mountain National Park, going about 25 miles per hour the whole way.  Max followed in the Fiat, making it easier to handle the curves with just the RV and not a tow vehicle.

I was never so happy to get into a town and park the RV.  We had called a campground to reserve a spot for a few days and got all setup before the sun set.  That night we cooked some hamburgers on the grill and sat around the fire.  I had brought my MacBook out and finished uploading some photos and did my daily blog post.  I was out like a light probably 5 minutes after Max got me ready for bed.  I did not even remember him getting in the bed next to me.

The next morning I awoke to find the bed empty but the coffee pot going along with the smell of breakfast foods being cooked.  “Good morning sleepyhead.  Breakfast is almost ready, let me get finished and then we can get you changed” He said as I emerged from the bedroom with my soggy diaper in between my legs.

I noticed his iPad sitting on the table, and I opened my MacBook to check the overnight progress, which had completed.  Just about then I was directed back to the bedroom and changed before being told to wash my hands and then I could eat.

Again as I sat down a bib was put around my neck as the plate was put in front of me and then his as he sat down.  “So what you want to do today?” I asked as we munched on some bacon, eggs and cinnamon rolls.

“I dunno, wanna do Cades Cove, or go into Gatlinburg or maybe to the Island or somewhere. What you want to do?” He replied

“Today is your choice, you do so much for me and you should decide what we do every now and then” I said, “frankly anything in the area should be fun to do.”

We decided to go drive Cades Cove and then go to the island for dinner.  The next day we drove into Gatlinburg and spent the whole day there, going to the aquarium, riding the tram to the ski resort, walking to all the shops on the parkway.  By the time we were done that second day in Gatlinburg it was dark and I was sleepy.  We got back to the RV and I started the upload and crashed in the bed. I barely remember being changed and it was the morning. 

That morning it was cereal and milk, as we wanted to eat light since we had tickets to see a lunch show.  The comedy show was funny, and the food was great too.  After that we decided that with the weather going to change overnight that we needed to be heading towards home base. 

We got back to the RV around 2:00 PM and were heading north by 4:00, not the best time to start out trying to leave the area, but we managed to make it out of the area and into Kentucky by night fall.  We made it to Corbin Kentucky and stopped at a KOA for the night.  I hopped out, got the car detached and Max backed the RV into a spot, I grabbed the power cord and plugged in and we ventured into the night to get some food, just some fast food.

The next morning we were both up at 6 AM, I grabbed the power cord, we stopped and dumped our holding tanks, filled up on clean water and then I followed Max in the car to the travel stop (truck stop), filed up on fuel for both the car and RV.  We then pulled into the parking lot for Cracker Barrel and went inside.  It was then I realized that in our haste to get on the road, that I was still in my track pants and a printed onsie, and it was somewhat obvious that I was diapered, oh well!

The waitress came over to our table and did a double take at my attire.  “Well aren’t you just cute. Can I get you two something to drink?  Coffee, Chocolate Milk” She said, directing the chocolate milk line towards me.

“I’ll take a coffee, cream, Splenda, He’ll have chocolate milk please, and can you use this” Max said as he reached into his backpack and pulled out a large sippy cup of mine.

“Sure thing hon. We don’t want somebody spilling anything do we” She said as she turned to me.

“She probably thinks I’m mentally handicapped” I said to max, to basically explain why I am dressed like this and being treated this way.

“I’d peg your age by your size as 15, and the way you dress takes about 5 years off that, add in the diapers and yeah, you’re about right” Max said

She soon came back with my sippy cup and Max’s coffee, and had a paper placemat and some crayons.  “Would he like some crayons to color with?” She asked Max

“I’m sure he would, right buddy?” Max said trying to play along

“Thank you very much” I said, making sure she knew I could talk

“Are you ready to order?” She asked

I ordered for myself crepes with sweet cream and cherries,  Max got eggs and sausage and grits.  Thank God Max did not bring a bib, he probably should have through cause I got cherries on my onsie, but no spilled drink. 

When we were finished our waitress came back over again.  “Was your meals great? Did you need anything else for the road, more coffee or chocolate milk?”

“I’ll have a large coffee with cream and sugar and the same for him” I said

She looked at Max to be sure coffee was ok for me and he nodded, “He’s 25 after all”

“What?  I would have thought 12 maybe, and if you don’t mind me saying I thought at first that you might have been a little disabled too” She said hoping she did not overstep or insult.

“Nope 25, I just like to live my life as a toddler, this is my Daddy who takes care of me.”  I said, for the first time ever calling Max ‘daddy’

“I can tell you two have a very special bond” She said as she scooted away to get the coffees.  Max and I just kinda chuckled at the sight of messing with the normal people.

When she came back I paid the tab and gave her a nice large tip.  “Thank you for taking great care of us and not judging”

“Hon, you gots to be who you wanna be no matter what anybody else thinks” She said

We headed out the door, got the car connected and headed north, pulling off about 2.5 hours later outside ohio to stretch the legs and switch drivers.  We drove for another 2 hours and stopped off in a walmart parking lot. 

“So do you want to boondock tonight and then head towards your parents, or push through to my place tonight and I can drop you off in the morning, or what?” I asked

“You know what, let’s just push through to your place and spend the day tomorrow unpacking, doing laundry, cleaning and resting.  They aren’t expecting me really, so it will be a surprise anyways.” He said
