A Great Surprise ---------------- We live on the edge of town and have several acres with many trees. There are other tracts the same size all along the same side of the road. Our neighbor's house is about 1/4 mile from our house and his is a tool shed between the two. Through the trees I can see the tool shed and on this side is a work bench attached to the building. There is a bench inside also but this one is used when equipment is dirty or oily. One day while I was looking at deer that were feeding on the edge of our property I could see the tool shed and there was movement on the work bench. I could see that Cory, the neighbors 10 year old son, was up on the bench. The binoculars I was using weren't powerful enough to make out detail so I got my spotting scope, which is 60 power. When I used this I could see Cory putting on a disposable diaper. In their family were the parents and Cory's brother, age 2 1/2. Cory obviously had taken one of his brother's diapers. He played around out there in the diaper for some time and then all of a sudden he took off the diaper and hid it in tall grass. He then took off for the house where his mother was standing on the porch. She must have called him to do some chores. On several occasions I watched him put on a diaper. It was always shortly after his dad left for work. I decided to plant myself close to the shed behind a large tree. It was common for us to walk to each other's houses to visit. One day I made sure I was there early enough so he wouldn't know I was there. Before long here came Cory and he was up on the bench in no time. I waited until he had the diaper on and was down from the bench before I stepped out from behind the tree. He saw me and turned white. He couldn't run because all he had on was a diaper. I am old enough to be his grandfather. Since all his grandparents are dead he has adopted me in this role. I put my arm around him and gave him a hug and told him I put on diapers when I was his age. The color came back to his face and I assured him I would keep his secret. He gave me a hug and I sat down and held him on my lap. The diaper was a little small for him and I told him I would get diapers for him. I knew he had not been wetting the bed at night because he had stayed over at our house several times. We talked for some time about diapers and I told him the next time he stayed over I would have diapers in the room for him to wear at night. He then asked if he could stay over soon. Naturally I said yes and his mother was always happy to have this bundle of energy away at times. I got some string from the shed and got measurement of his waist , hips, belt to belt through the crotch and legs. From this I could order plastic pants and cloth diapers to fit him. I told him I would make disposable diapers up for him. His mother called him, so off came the diaper and he put on his clothes. I told him I would dispose of the diaper. About a week later his little brother was sick and was hospitalized so we offered to take Cory. That way his father could work and she could be at the hospital as often as she wanted. I had received the cloth diapers and plastic pants by this time because I had ordered them the same day I caught him in the diaper and I had them shipped next day air. I didn't want to miss an opportunity to diaper him. Also I had made up disposable diapers from small Attends and Drypers which were hot glued to the Attend after removing the waterproof backing. I had instructed Cory to bring some long shirts like the kids wear that come down below the diaper area. This way I could keep him in diapers during the day and at night. My wife has arthritis and can't climb the stairs to the guest bedroom that is upstairs, so at night I would put Cory to bed in a cloth diaper and plastic pants. I had ordered several types of the flat diapers from Angel Fluff and some were the extra heavy kind. When I picked up Cory he had a large suitcase and had followed my instructions. Upon arriving at our house we took his things upstairs and put them in dresser drawers. I opened the drawers that I had put the diapers in, and did his eyes ever light up. I asked him if he wanted to get one on now and his response was a hug. He was wearing a long shirt so I had him take off his pants and briefs. I put a disposable diaper-- the I had made-- on the bed and he crawled up and laid down on it. I fastened the diaper and then put a pair of plastic pants over the diaper. When he stood and looked in the mirror his face was all smiles. I put his pants over the diaper, and with the long shirt you couldn't tell he had on a diaper. That day I had things to do around the place and he was with me at all times. Naturally I had diaper around for changes, which he needed often because I had him drink a large amount of water. This is a help in more than one way because the urine doesn't smell nearly as much and they get changed often which helps prevent diaper rash. He was very helpful to me and so thankful he could wear diapers all the time. That night at supper he really ate and told my wife how good a cook she was. We really had a happy boy with us. After watching Walker Texas Ranger and some other programs it was time for him to go to bed. When I mentioned bed to him he immediately got up and went to the stairs. I followed him up and he took off his clothes. I then removed the diaper and with baby wipes cleaned him up. I put the cloth diapers on the bed and he positioned himself on the thick diaper. I double pinned the diaper on and then put the plastic pants on him. He really liked them and said this was the first time that he has had cloth diapers on. I sat on the bed and held him for a little while I rubbed his back. He then got under the covers and I had a surprise for him. I put a baby bottle in his mouth and he immediately began to drink from it. I leaned over to kiss him and he took the bottle out and gave me hug so tight he almost choked me. Then the bottle was back in his mouth and I turned out the light. The next morning I went to his room just as his eyes opened. I sat on the bed and leaned over and gave him a kiss which resulted in another of his hugs. I pulled down the covers and was his diaper ever wet, but no leaks, also the bottle was empty. The diaper was removed and he went to take a shower. After he had had his shower he got up on the bed and I put a disposable diaper on him plus the vinyl pant. He got dressed and we went to the kitchen. As we were eating my wife got a call from an old friend from out of state. Her friend had lost her husband a couple of months earlier and she asked my wife to come and spent a couple of week with her. Naturally my wife agreed and we made plane reservations for her to go the next day. This would leave Cory and I there alone. The next day we took my wife to the plane and then went to Cory's house to ask his mother if he could stay over with me while my wife was away. His mother agreed because she thought I would be lonesome alone. Then I told here I would like to take Cory to the coast so we could swim in the surf and she thought it would be a good idea. The next morning I surprised Cory by walking into his room with my night diaper still in place. He had not known that I had to wear them at night. I explained that I have been having problems from a medical condition that made it necessary for me to wear them also, and that I would also wear them during the day to keep him company. This delighted him. After showers and getting our diapers on we packed our things and headed for the car. We packed plenty of diapers and all other things necessary for keeping us well diapered. We then headed south for the coast. We stayed at a place that was close to the water and was a distance from other lodgings. That made it possible for us to go on the beach with just diapers on. We also would swim in our diapers. We had a great two days there and then headed home. Cory would have stayed longer if he could but he also wanted to get back so he could wear cloth diapers again. He really fell in love with those cloth diapers. The rest of the two weeks went by too fast and then it was time to pick up my wife on her return and also take Cory back to his home.
