When I woke up I was in my room. (Which was finished by Adam and Angela previous that week) I smelt something funky. I must have pooped in my diaper while I was sleeping. I felt my bottom, and sure enough, it was saggy and mushy. The front was also yellow with pee. I was still in my tank top and just a diaper. I went down the stairs only to see that Angela wasn’t there. I started to get worried, but decided to check everywhere before I started panicking. She wasn’t on the front porch, the car was there, she wasn’t in the back and she wasn’t in the bathroom or laundryroom. I decided to go check upstairs and she wasn’t in that bathroom, I looked in her bedroom and she was fast-asleep. I crawled into bed with her, put my thumb back into my mouth and waited until she got up.
“Lacey, when did you wake up? What time is it?” She asked.
“It’s 6:04pm and I woke up about an hour ago.” I anwsered her.
“Did you go pooper-dooper in your diaper?” She asked me with a playful smile.
“Maybe.” I stated. “But I feel yucky, so can you please change me?” I asked.
“Of course hunny.” She anwsered.
We went to the downstairs bathroom and I lay down on the floor. She took my messy diaper off and started to wipe me.
“My, my, you are messy little one.”
After about a whole container of wipes were gone I was finally clean. She didn’t put a new diaper on me but started running the water into the bathtub. While I was sitting on the floor I felt the urge to go pee, and to my horror, realized that I already started on the tile floor. I bolted up and sat myself on the toilet.
“I’m sorry!” I said to Angela.
“Oh no worries. It’s just a little spot, nothing a wet cloth won’t clean.” She said to me, trying to make me feel better, as there was more than just a ‘little’ spot.
She went to grab a rag and I sat on the toilet. She came back in and turned the bath water off.
“Okay” she said, “Hop in!”
I got in and started making a mustache with the bubbles. She finished cleaning up my mess and then looked under a sink and grabbed a bagful of unopened toys. She started opening them and put them all in the bathtub. They were bath toys. Little boats, floating fish, ducks that make quacking sounds.
“Where did you get these? And the baby bottle?” I asked her. “Do you have a little sister or something?”
“Actually…” She started. “You are the only young person in the family, everyone is grown up. I have all this stuff because we planned on adopting a toddler or baby, so we pretty much have everything. Toys, playpen, bottles, soothers, everything a baby needs.” She finished. “But, when we saw you we would rather have you live with us than another child, because you are just too cute!” She said grabbing my nose.
I giggled and started playing with the toys.
“Stop playing and wash up or I’m going to have to do it for youuuu!” She said leaving the bathroom. I saw her put the garbage in the garbage and then return back to me.
“Okay. You leave me no choice!” She grabbed a washcloth puppet with a frog on it.
“Mr. Froggy needs to clean Lacey all up!” She said in a deep voice.
I couldn’t stop laughing. “Your so silly!” I said to her.
She washed me this way, and I let her. When it came time for my hair she put soap in it and put a cloth over my eyes, started emptying the tub, and ran the water over my hair. After I was all clean she wrapped me in a towel and led me to my room.
“Hmm, what to wear to bed…” She said.
“My footy sleepers! And a diaper!” I said to her.
“Okay perfect.” She went to my drawer and grabbed out my pink footed sleeper and when to the bathroom to grab a diaper. She put some baby-powder on my skin and pulled the diaper up, she taped it snuggly and helped me step into my sleeper. She zipped up the leg and front and she brushed my hair.
“When do you go back to school?” I asked her.
“Actually, not for another eight months. Because I adopted, I get to go on maternity leave.”
“Oh that’s cool.” I said
“Yeah, it means I get to spend more time with you.” She anwsered.
“When you do go back, are you, are you going to tell everyone? About me I mean?” I asked her, worried.
“Of course not! Your my daughter, I would never do that!” She said to me and after kissed me on the forehead.
