Name: Tiffany S. (on behalf of son)
Ages: 13 (son/brother)
Current Age: 34 (mother) 11 (daughter)

My name is Bethany Stevens and I am 11 years old. I am writing this 
with help from my Mom and using her email. I have one brother who is 
13. His name is Timmy. Timmy always wets the bed. He still wears 
Huggies diapers to bed. I am a lot bigger than he is, even though I am 
younger. I am also more mature. So I am really the big sister. A lot of 
times I change him at night and in the morning. I also help him get 
dressed. He is more like a little boy than a teenager. He still sucks 
his thumb a lot. He sleeps with a paci. He gets scared easy and I have 
to look out for him a lot. He still misbehaves a lot and needs timeouts 
or spankings. Mom normally does that but she says I am now big enough 
to do it. I have only spanked Timmy twice for being bad. I do not like 
to do it because he was crying afterwards. I do like being the big 
sister. It is fun to change his diapers. I like seeing his butt in 
diapers. I also like to see him in soggy diapers in the morning. It's 
cute and funny. Mom and I pick his clothes fore him. He wears 
Teletubbies undies during the day al ot. He also has some onesies and 
footie pajamas for winter that look cute. Sometimes I make him wear 
diapers at day if we are going to the mall or in the car. Mom lets me 
decide if Timmy needs diapers. Sometimes it is a pain. When we go out, 
Timmy needs to be on a child strap that goes on his wrist.

*******************************

This is Tiffany, mother to both Bethany and Timothy. Timmy is a 
wonderful 13 year old boy who was born prematurely and also has ADHD. 
He has light brown hair and hazel eyes. He has always been extremely 
small for his age and been physically, developmentally slow, although 
he is of normal intelligence. He is now 4'5" and weighs a little over 
60 pounds. At last check with the pediatrician, he is about the normal 
size of an 8 or 9 year old. He has not gotten anywhere near starting 
puberty yet. Bethany is Timmy's half sister. She is 11 and has darker 
hair and eyes. She is the exact opposite of Timmy. She is very big for 
her size and is about 5'1" [and a half, she says] and is about 110 
pounds. She is already shopping in the Juniors section and is wearing a 
bra.

I've decided to let Timmy go at his own pace. He has always been more 
comfortable being the little brother to Bethany and still acts very 
immaturely. Not in a bad way, it's just how he is. Because of his high 
needs, he is home schooled. I know other 13 year olds would tease him 
endlessly. His best friends are 3 boys in the neighborhood - one is 7 
and the other two are 6. They are closer in size and temperament to him 
and they accept him. He is basically a 7 year old in everything but age 
and vocabulary - I normally tell babysitters that he is 7 to make 
everything easier, especially since they are normally about his age or 
sometimes even younger. He was trained for #2 when he was about 4 or 5. 
He didn't get out of daytime diapers until he was 9, though. He still 
wets heavily at night and during naps. I keep him in Huggies Supreme 
size 6 with a diaper doubler inside. I was very sad when all the diaper 
makers stopped using plastic. At night he sleeps in just a diaper. His 
mattress is protected with a vinyl sheet. He still likes Sesame Street 
and has that as the theme in his room. Since he rolls around a lot, I 
still keep the guardrails up at night. I still keep the changing table 
in his room to store diapers, wipes and powder, although he is a little 
too big to go on it. He needs a lot of supervision and I encourage 
Bethany to be more active in taking care of him. Since it is 
summertime, I let her take care of most daily stuff. On a typical day, 
she changes him out of a wet diaper in the morning and gives him a 
bath. She then dresses him for the day. He is in size 8 or 10 slim for 
most stuff, so he still fits into the little boys cartoon undies. We 
like to get him Rugrats, Barney, Blues Clues and Teletubbies underwear, 
although they are hard to find now. She will normally put him down for 
an early afternoon nap after lunch, which means he needs to be diapered 
again. He sucks his thumb a lot during the day but at night or naptimes 
we opt for a pacifier instead. He has an earlier bedtime than Bethany, 
so she changes him into a nighttime diaper and puts him to bed, too. 
What else? Well, I do believe in spanking for discipline. Bethany is 
now too old and too mature for spankings, but Timmy still needs them. 
I've told Bethany that she can spank, too if he gets out of hand. We do 
not use diapers for discipline.

Here is a story from last week, which captures how great Bethany is and 
how cute it is to see her taking care of Timmy. Both of them were 
swimming in the pool out back with two of Bethany's best friends. I had 
told her to keep extra watch of Timmy since he is not a good swimmer, 
even though he had his water wings on. She was dressed in a sun yellow 
bikini and looked just like a young lady. Her friends are not quite as 
big, but were also dressed in typical 'tween fashion. I remember 
thinking how she has grown up so fast. Timmy was in his water wings and 
a Little Swimmer pant (the water sometimes makes him pee). He looked 
just like a little boy next to the three girls. (Incidentally, her two 
best friends, Nicole and Keisha, know about Timmy's accidents and are 
very mature about it). When I looked out awhile later, Timmy was lying 
on a deck chair asleep, his thumb in his mouth. Bethany was still 
splashing with the girls and keeping an eye on him. I saw her get out 
of the pool, go by Timmy and put her hand down the front of his Little 
Swimmer. She then quickly dried off a little and wrapped her towel 
around her. Wordlessly, she came into the house, and walked upstairs. A 
minute later she walked past me outside with two Huggies diapers in 
hand. She took off the swim diaper at the side seams, rolled it up and 
put it aside. She then took hold of Timmy's ankles and raised his legs 
and little bottom up and slid the Huggies diaper under him. She let his 
legs down and expertly taped the diaper closed. He slept through the 
entire change. She then went back to playing in the pool. About an hour 
later, I saw her and her friends getting changed near the pool. She 
went over to Timmy and gently nudged him. I could tell it was not easy, 
but she managed to pick him up toddler-style, with his legs around her 
hips and one of his arms around her neck. The other arm still had the 
thumb in his mouth! Nicole held the door open and Keisha came through 
last with the rolled up Little Swimmer and the remaining Huggies 
diaper. I looked at Timmy's cute little bottom supported by Bethany's 
arms. His diaper was sopping wet. Bethany told her friends that Timmy 
was very wet and needed to be changed. She woke him up and had him lie 
down. She told him that she wanted him to wear his diapers for the 
afternoon so they could all play and not have to take a lot of potty 
breaks for him. He nodded his head. She changed him into another 
diapers with the girls helping out. I don't know if they had seen him 
being changed before but it did not bother me. Timmy is not modest and 
he has not started developing at all yet. He actually looks more like a 
2 year old down there so I didn't worry about the girls' reaction. She 
put a short t-shirt on him and his socks and sneakers and then the four 
of them went outside to play. He did not seem to mind playing outside 
in just a diaper and t-shirt, so I did not stop them. She checked his 
diaper a few times and they had a fun afternoon playing together.
