Leah spent most of the day in the playpen, unable to do anything but watch TV, play on her phone, drink from her sippy cup, oh, and use her diaper. Rita's precautions did prove to be necessary, as the floor of the playpen got poop on it from yet another blowout.
But around dinner time, the new diapers arrived. Rita took Leah from the playpen and brought her to the bathroom to change into her new protection. Immediately, Leah noticed the difference. They were the thickest diapers she'd ever seen. Clearly overnight diapers for young babies with zero control. And yet, it fit Leah perfectly.
"Don't you look cute!" Rita commented once Leah was diapered. And only in a diaper.
Leah's legs were pushed awfully far apart. To the point that she was worried about her ability to move around. That fear was proven when Rita set Leah on the floor.
Leah tried to stand, but immediately fell onto her butt, any sensation from hitting the floor contained by her diaper. She could sort of stand if she was holding something, but otherwise, her legs were too far apart.
Leah had to crawl.
Her feeling that she was turning into a baby was not helped at all by her need to crawl to get anywhere. But at least Rita let her eat dinner regularly. Though Rita did warn if Leah wore clothes to dinner in the future, she'd make Leah wear a bib. Leah wanted to protest, but she did get spaghetti all over herself and need to be wiped down by Rita, so maybe her aunt was onto something.
After dinner, the diaper got its test. Leah was crawling on the couch, trying to get closer to an outlet to charge her phone, when she felt herself leaning back. Like she was squatting on all fours. A tiny fart came out, a warning of things to come.
Desperate to get it over with, Leah pushed with a loud grunt. Her bowels obeyed, emptying loudly and wetly into her diaper. Leah could feel the mostly liquid poop filling the diaper up, spreading everywhere, making her eyes water from the smell.
But her diaper didn't leak.
Leah was pooping for five minutes straight, and the couch below her stayed untouched. Rita was delighted.
"I know this is difficult for you to move in, but it actually holds in your mess. So at least for now, you're wearing it," she said as she changed Leah's stuffed diaper. Exhausted and a little dehydrated, all Leah could do was nod in agreement.
