Deedee giggled in agreement and held out her hands again to be picked up. It was so much fun being a baby again and having Ronny as her Daddy. Deedee was thoroughly enjoying herself. Although she couldn’t speak, she was having no problems making her needs understood. Ron’s attentiveness made it easy. Deedee had gotten over her panic at being changed into a baby and was determined to make the best of a bad situation. She wasn’t sure when or if she would ever change back into an adult, but the opportunity to be nurtured and cherished like a real baby was too good to miss while she had the chance. She still had her adult mind and could understand what Ron was saying perfectly. She had decided that her transformation was her chance to take a complete vacation from adulthood. She didn’t have to do anything as a baby but enjoy herself. Ron would take care of everything.
Ron picked her up out of the crib and took her into the living room. He set her down in the playpen while he warmed up her bottle in the kitchen. Deedee idly sucked on her thumb and played with her toys until Ron returned with her nurser in hand. This time, instead of merely handing her the bottle, Ron took her out of the playpen and sat down on the sofa with Deedee on his lap. He settled her against his arm and slipped the nipple of the bottle into her mouth. Deedee took the bottle in both hands while she latched onto the bottle with her lips and began nursing immediately. Ron smiled at his charge and said conversationally, “Enjoy your bottle, Dee. I think I’ve discovered what turned you into a baby again. The lamp, Dee. It’s magic! All you have to do is rub salt into the crystal on the side of the lamp and make a wish. Do you remember what you said to me right after you were cleaning it?”
