Potty Training Problems

Chapter Three

This still felt so weird Tommy thought as he lay on top of the changing table ready to have his soaked nappy changed. Leo looked on without an ounce of judgement, as this was just a mundane occurrence for him.

Efficiently, his aunt stripped his shorts off, quickly untaping his nappy and wiping his groin with a cold wipe, causing him to shiver ever so slightly. She slipped a new nappy straight underneath and taped it up securely before pulling his shorts back up over the thick nappy. Grabbing underneath his armpits, she plopped him down on his bed, where he shifted around on his bottom, listening to the crinkle of his new nappy, whilst enjoying the dry, warm feeling. Before long she was done with Leo's nappy as well.

"Actually boys, why don't we get into our pjs instead" she said excitedly, causing Leo to jump around. From Leo's wardrobe she pulled out two sets of matching red car pyjamas. With an expert hand, she quickly guided both boys out of there day clothes, until they were both stood there in nothing but there nappies, then putting the pyjamas onto the two boys.

"I've just ordered" his uncle called from downstairs, "come down and pick a film." Leo glanced at Tommy, and they both began to run off downstairs, as Tommy trailed behind, his more big boy manner holding him back from running down the stairs.

They both sat on the floor, with there legs sprawled out in front of them while Tommys aunt flicked through films, before eventually they settled on cars, just like there pyjamas. Tommy kept glancing at Leo, trying to copy his mannerisms and act in a similar way.

His aunt looked on, seeing nothing but two toddlers sitting on the floor, there eyes transfixed on the TV screen. Uncle Mike walked in with a tray of a tray of food, placing it on a table before wrapping bibs around the boys necks. Instinctively, Tommy flinched as his Uncle wrapped the bib around, but as he shifted, he remembered the thick nappy around his waist and he realised that this was the least of his worries. Accepting this, he greedily tucked into the food in front of him on a small Paw Patrol plate. Seeing that Leo was using a combination of a fork and his hand to scoop plain noodles into his mouth, not bothering to wait to finish chewing before going for another bite.

Tommy followed suit, ending up with noodles dangling from his chin collecting up his bib. Eventually once he finished, he moved on and began picking bits out of his bib, before his Aunt walked over with a wipe, quickly wiping his face down before removing him bib and plate. Without warning, his uncle poked a finger down the front of his nappy "Good boy," he glowed before moving onto Leo who was also dry. "I reckon you two are almost ready for potty training!"

As they lay down on the floor watching the film, Tommy began to shuffle uncomfortably on the floor, pressure building in his bladder. The last time had been easy he thought he hadn't really had to try but rather Leo had pushed it out of him. He tried to let go, he tried to bear down on it but nothing was helping. Eventually, he was handed a sippy cup, which he drunk greedily. Without much effort, he managed to let go, making a conscious effort not to try and go. The warm squidgy nappy feeling very different as he lay on his front.

As the film drew on, Leo had fallen asleep, so he followed suit, assuming that for any toddler 'his age' this was a very long day.

Before long, he felt a hand gently cradle his head, ah his Uncle picked him up off the floor. He looked up sleepily, his eyes barely open before he buried his head into his uncles warm shoulder. "Looks like we have to get you changed baby" Mike said, as he held Tommys soggy bottom whilst carrying him up the stairs.

He opened his eyes, expecting to be in Leo's room, but finding himself in the large bathroom, with Leo playing in the bathtub, soap suds causing him to have a crazy hairstyle causing Tommy to giggle uncontrollably as he was put on the floor. Still to Tommys surprise, his trousers were yanked down. his t shirt pulled off and then his saggy nappy torn off and thrown in the bin. Tommys cheeks shone red with embarrassment, although he felt he was doing a good job of pretending to be a toddler, he still felt embarrassed when he was naked in front of others, whereas Leo seemed completely comfortable.

Uncle Mike grabbed him under the armpits, not allowing him to use his hands to cover his private parts, before plopping him down in the bathtub. His Aunt quickly got to work washing his hair with some baby shampoo and a cup of water. She massaged the shampoo in and gently ran her fingers through his short boyish hair while Leo and Tommy guided toy boats around the bathtub.

Before long, both Tommy and Leo were pulled out of the bathtub, "are you ok to get them ready for bed Mike?" His aunt asked. Yes he nodded. Mike stood them both up outside of the bathtub, shaking with the cold before he wrapped them in two fluffy white towels, and placing the two boys on either hip. Whilst he carried them, Leo played, reaching out with his feet, to which Tommy responded playfully.

As he placed the two boys down onto Leos bed he talked "so Tommy, tomorrow we'll go and get you a brand new bed ok? And we can make a full day of it. But for tonight you two are going to have to share ok?" The boys nodded, as Uncle Mike grabbed the two pairs of pyjamas up from the floor, before getting a some nappies from under the table, and some baby powder. With an experienced hand, he made quick work of taping up the two boys, making sure to dress them in there just pyjama T-shirts, not wanting them to overheat overnight in the warm climate. Tommy tugged at his T-shirt uncomfortably, stretching it to cover his nappy.

Leo leapt into bed, sucking his dummy, and clutching two different teddies to his chest. "Go on Tommy, you join him." Uncomfortably, Tommy followed him into his toddler, Lightning McQueen inspired bed. Feeling his nappy crinkle as he sat down and lifted his legs into bed. There was enough room, but it was definitely a new experience being in such close proximity to his cousin.

Uncle Mike leant over, kissing Leo on the forehead as he sleepily looked back, before ruffling Tommys hair. "Night night boys."
