the best thing about keeping her in diapers is that there are so many ways to casually embarrass her:
“Honey, do you need to be changed, or are you still good? Just want to make sure you’re comfy, okay?”
"You’re waddling a bit, sweetie. Let me check if you’re wet. No need to act shy, it’s just us.”
"Oh, let’s not worry about finding a bathroom today, okay? Just relax, and we’ll take care of you later.”
“It’s a long car ride, so I think it’s best we make sure you’re extra protected today.”
“Nobody’s gonna notice. I mean... Daddy can hear you crinkle when you walk, but I’m *sure* nobody else can tell."
"It's not obvious. They'll just think your butt looks cute. They're not gonna guess that you're still in diapers at your age."
“Let’s get ready to go. Can you bring your daytime bag in the car for Daddy?”
“Yes, honey, we do need to pack your changing pad this time. There probably isn’t gonna be a family restroom with a changing table big enough for you...”
"Make sure to tell me if you feel wet down there, sweetheart. Otherwise, I’m gonna have to pull you aside in front of your friends, and you’re not gonna like that.”
“She’s been having a lot of issues lately… yes, all the time now. We’re just trying to make sure she’s comfortable.”
“Honey, come here… you’re looking a little squirmy. Is there something you need to tell me?"
“Do you have a quiet room somewhere where I could take care of her? We’ll just be a minute.”
“Oh - do you think I could borrow some wet wipes? We just ran out.”
"Sweetheart, could you come with me to your friend Katie's bedroom for a minute? I just need your help with something real quick."
“Oh baby... you’re soaked! Why didn’t you tell me? Did you know you had an accident?”
“Do you want to be a big girl for Daddy? You do? Good girl. You need to stop fussing and hold still so we can get you changed.”
“Yes, I know you don’t want to smell like baby powder in front of your friends. But we don’t want you to get a rash...”
"It’s so much easier now that you don’t have to worry about the bathroom, isn’t it?"
"I had to explain to the hotel staff why we needed the mattress protector. They were super understanding, though…”
“It’s okay... No one expects you to stay dry at night, sweetie. You haven’t had a dry morning in months.”
“Let’s put a towel down under you for the movie… just in case."
“Can I borrow her for a minute?”
“Let’s get your shirt tucked in back there. You were sticking out of your pants a little bit.”
"Maybe we should try a onesie for you when we get back home, huh? We could button you up, so you don't keep accidentally... showing off. Would you like that?"
"Hold still please. I need to check your diaper. It’s gonna be a lot quicker if you stop squirming.”
“Now. Come here. We need to get you ready for nighttime. I don't want any arguments.”
"Aww, you want to try to use the potty tomorrow? How about we try that another day? We’re not ready for potty training with you right now."
"You looked so cute today when you tried to act like a big girl.”
