Cousin James Comes to Stay Jeff was a typical six-year-old enjoying summer vacation. He was lucky to be able to stay home in the summer. His cousin James had just turned five and lived about an hour away. Jeff was eating supper one day and heard his mother talking on the phone about someone coming to visit. He soon learned that his cousin James was going to spend a week with them while his parents went on a business trip. After she got off the phone his mother sat down and talked to him. " Jeff, your cousin Jimmy is coming next Sunday to visit for a week and I know you will enjoy it. We will just plan to take the week and do a lot of the fun things planned for the summer including the zoo and the big park downtown." After supper Jeff's mother called her sister back to finish gathering the details about Jimmy's care. It was then learned that he was still having occasional trouble in making it to the toilet and still wore diapers to bed and Pull-Ups some in the day. They had a long conversation catching up on the news and soon it was time for Jeff to get ready for bed and the call was ended. Jeff's mother entered the living room and called to Jeff, "time to get ready for bed." Jeff obediently got up and into the bathroom and was given a bath by his mother. After the bath, he put on his underwear and favorite Barney pajamas and went to bed after a short story. Sara, Jeff's mother, quietly went over the house thinking of things that needed to be done this week. She decided that Jimmy would sleep in the same bed as Jeff as he had a double bed. She also checked on the schedules and fees at some of the area attractions before she went to bed. Sara woke in the morning and got dressed as usual and then went to check on Jeff as he usually got up before 7:30 and it was after 8:00. She found him just getting up and he was crying. "What is the matter, Jeff"? Jeff then sat up pushing back the covers to expose a very wet bed and a wet six-year-old. "I wet my bed," came a sobbing reply. Sara helped Jeff to the bathroom where she undressed him and helped him to take a bath. She left him in the tub while she went and stripped the wet bed clothes and started the laundry. She then brought in a clean set of clothes for Jeff to put on. While Jeff ate breakfast, Sara mentioned the wet bed and said not to worry as it could happen and it wasn't a problem. Thursday went well for Jeff, playing in the back yard and watching TV. Later in the afternoon Sara told him they would be going to the store soon and suggested he go to the bathroom, something that had been done in quite some time. At the store Sara picked up some of the groceries that were needed including some of Jimmy's favorites. On the way home they were delayed in traffic and Sara noticed that Jeff was beginning to get antsy, and when asked about it he said that he needed to go pee. Traffic eased and they made it home just in time. While eating supper, Sara suggested to Jeff to skip any soda after supper and after the short story she made him get up and try to go to the bathroom again. Friday morning, Sara was relieved to find that Jeff was still dry and woke him to make sure that he didn't wet just before waking up. Friday afternoon Jeff was riding his bike up and down the street as normal and got a sudden urge to pee. He raced home just making it in time again. After seeing this, Sara suggested that he try and go sooner so as not to create a delay. Friday night was uneventful as they stayed at home and played games until bedtime. Saturday morning, Sara awoke to Jeff knocking on her door wearing wet pajamas again. They calmly went about the business of cleaning up and then Jeff sat down to watch cartoons. After about an hour Sara told Jeff it was time to go to the bathroom as she didn't want any accidents today. Saturday afternoon was spent at the neighborhood pool with Jeff playing with several of the neighborhood kids. After about an hour, Sara noticed Jeff with a strange look on his face and told him to come over. When asked the problem, Jeff said he had to pee real bad and that he already peed some and still had to go bad, so bad that as he walked over to the bathroom he wet his swimming trunks. Sara told him to go shower again to get the urine out of the trunks before he got back in the pool. On the way home, Sara told Jeff he ought to be more careful about his potty habits. Saturday evening was spent cleaning up toys and rooms before Jimmy arrived. Sunday morning and Jeff woke up wet again and this time was a little upset because his cousin might find out he wet the bed. Shortly after lunch, Jimmy and his parents arrived. Upon arrival Jimmy was taken to the bathroom by his mother. Jeff noticed the new package of Pull-ups that his uncle brought in along with the other luggage. Part 2 Jimmy's parents stayed for about an hour and visited until it was time for them to leave for the airport. The boys had already gotten out many of Jeff's toys and were having a wonderful time. Jimmy's mom told Sara that he wore a Pull-Up for the trip and he still had it on but he usually wore underpants in the house and on short trips. She also mentioned that Jimmy loved the pool and was beginning to learn to swim. Jimmy told his parents goodbye without any fuss and went right back to playing. After about an hour, Sara went to check on the boys and suggested to Jimmy to use the bathroom. She followed in to see if he needed help and found he was still dry and suggested that he try to go as they were going outside to play. She asked Jeff if he needed to go, but he said he just went. They went outside to the park down the street and they had a blast in the playground with swings and slides and places to climb. Around four o'clock Sara told them it was time to go home. On the way home she noticed Jeff was starting to get the look and she asked him what was the matter. He said that he needed to go to the bathroom real bad. Sara asked him why he didn't go at the park but he didn't know. As they rounded the corner Sara heard a noise and noticed Jeff had stopped walking and was holding himself and crying. She told him to keep moving and as she grabbed his hand she smelled that he had pooped his pants. She told him to try and hold it if he could but as they got to the door he started to pee and poop some more. Sara marched both boys upstairs and checked Jimmy first and since he was wet, changed his Pull-up to underpants for the evening. Then she carefully removed Jeff's clothes and gave him bath to clean him up. She then told him that he had better be more careful in the daytime or else they would have to have to have a talk. Part 3 As it neared bedtime, Sara told Jimmy to come upstairs and she would give him a bath and get him ready for bed. While she let him get upstairs, Sara looked into the suitcase for Jimmy's PJ's and found a diaper as well. Jimmy got undressed and into the tub without complaint. After his bath Sara told him to try and go potty as it was bedtime. She then diapered him and took him into Jeff's room and put him to bed. Sara then went downstairs and told Jeff to go get in the tub before bed. After a bit, Sara went up to bring Jeff his PJ's from the laundry. She first stopped and got a diaper for Jeff as well. Sara walked into the bathroom and helped Jeff finish up his bath. As he was drying off, Jeff noticed the diaper on the vanity and asked what is that for. Sara explained that since Jimmy was sleeping in the same bed it would be a mess if Jeff were to wet tonight. Jeff protested for a while but finally was forced into the diaper. Sara made a note that the diaper fit real well and commented that this could be a more permanent solution. Jeff got into bed with a sleeping Jimmy and quickly fell asleep as well. Monday morning came, bringing a stormy day, causing Sara to delay plans for a trip to the zoo. Around 8:00 she woke the boys and got them up checking the diapers for leaks. She asked the boys if they needed to go potty but both denied at this time. Sara also noticed that both boys had wet during the night. The boys sat down to a breakfast of oatmeal, toast and juice. While they ate, Jeff decided that he needed to pee and asked Sara to help him. She told him to hurry up and finish eating and then she would help him dress. Jeff tried to hold it but ended up releasing a big morning pee into his diaper which surprisingly held it all. Part 4 After breakfast Sara took the boys into the bathroom where she had clothes waiting for them. She told Jeff to get undressed while she helped Jimmy out of his pajamas. She asked Jeff if he still had to go and he said he had wet while at the table. So she took Jimmy's diaper off and used the baby wipes to clean him up and then helped him into a pair of Barney underpants. She then helped him into the clothes for the day and set him to brush his teeth. She then told Jeff to take off his diaper and handed him a wipe to clean up with and told him to get dressed and brush his teeth when finished. Jeff wanted to have his mother wipe him but she refused. The morning was spent watching TV and talking about the things they would do this week. Around ten o'clock, Sara told the boys it would be a good idea to take a break from TV and suggested a bathroom trip. She knew Jeff usually had a BM around this time and wanted to make sure he made it. Jeff had decided they would be going to play Chutes and Ladders so he put off the BM he felt coming as he didn't want to take the time. As they started the game Sara asked Jeff if he pooped since he wasn't gone very long and he said he didn't have to yet. She also asked Jimmy if he had and he said he usually goes right after lunch. The game went well for a while and Jeff's urge to poop became stronger as well. Jimmy slowly built a lead but fell down a chute to get way behind and Jeff jumped with excitement. As he jumped, Jeff felt the urge so strong he peed just a bit so he ran to the bathroom. Sara saw him dive into the bathroom and followed to check on him. She arrived as he pulled down his pants and noticed a small wet spot on the front of his underwear. Sara was upset at this because she had just suggested going potty. She told Jeff that if this continued there would be consequences to his actions. Lunchtime came and both boys ate a hot dog and some chips. After lunch Sara sent the boys to the bathroom to try and go before they went back to playing. Later in the afternoon, the sun came out and the boys went outside to the back yard and played on the swings. When it was nearly suppertime, the boys came in and Sara saw that Jimmy had wet his pants. He said he didn't know he had to go. Sara told him that he should let her know when he has an accident so he won't sit in wet clothes and get a rash. Sara took him upstairs and cleaned him up and the boys sat down to supper of spaghetti. After supper, they all sat down to watch a movie and midway through, Sara smelled a BM so she asked who had an accident. Jeff was glad that it wasn't him this time as he was sure he would have gotten spanked. Since it was nearly bedtime, Sara gave Jimmy his bath and diapered him and sent him to bed and then did likewise with Jeff. She made a note to herself that she needed to get a package of diapers to make up for what Jeff was wearing. Since Jeff had swimming lessons on Tuesday mornings she decided they would stay and go swimming after his lesson so she looked through Jimmy's clothes for a swimsuit and found it with two swim diapers below it. Sara began to wonder if Jeff would need one as well. Part 5 Tuesday morning Sara woke at 8:00 to the phone, It was the swimming pool, the pump house had been hit by lightning during the storm Monday and burned up the pump. There would be no swimming until repairs could be made. Sara got up and went to start breakfast. She decided that they would go to the zoo today since the pool was closed. Around 8:30 she got the boys up and found that Jimmy's diaper had leaked. Jeff's pj's were slightly wet from the leak as well. Jeff had managed to stay dry all night so Sara took him to the bathroom first and let him pee. She then re-taped the diaper on and sent him to eat in just the diaper. Then Jimmy came in and was changed and given a wipe down with a wet one. Jimmy was then sent out in a diaper as well. Sara served the boys a breakfast of waffles and bacon. After breakfast she sent the boys to watch TV while she cleaned the kitchen. They both lay down on the floor and Sara decided it would be a cute picture so she snuck up and took one of the boys in just their diapers. Sara told them about the plans for the zoo instead of the pool and then went to check the times for the day. When she came back, she smelled a poop and looked at the boys. Jimmy had pooped in his diaper and it was obvious. She took the boys into the bathroom and filled the tub and took Jimmy's diaper off and cleaned him up and set him in the tub. Jeff told his mom to hurry to get his off as he had to pee but as he laid down he said it was too late. As he finished and his diaper was removed, it was discovered that he had pooped a little bit as well. Jeff was placed on the toilet to finish pooping while Jimmy got a bath. After both boys were dry, Sara took them into the bedroom and helped them dress. She had Jimmy wear a Pull-up and then helped him into his clothes and sent him to watch TV. She asked Jeff if he intended to have accidents all the time and he said he liked being treated like a younger kid some of the time. Sara offered him a pull-up but he refused saying that someone might see him at the zoo. Sara packed a bag with changing supplies for the boys. She put in two changes of clothes for each boy, six Pull- ups and six diapers. She started to get Jeff a pair of underpants but decided to add a couple extra pull-ups instead.
