I wrote this Christmas caption with @prettymuchpottytrained, who is also the adorable little one pictured here. We hope you enjoy it and enjoy the holidays! This may also turn into its own story universe, so let us know if you want more!
Sunlight trickled into the room as the door inched open. The sleeping girl never stirred.
Mommy intended to wake her up from sleep slowly, but her momentary pause to take a quick picture gave their overly excited golden retriever an opening.
Instead of a tranquil picture of Kallie sleeping with her thumb in her mouth and a swollen diaper peeking out of her Christmas pajamas, Mommy captured the moment the puppy licked her face.
It wasnât the perfect picture Mommy had hoped forâthis was their first Christmas as a family since Kallie was regressed after allâbut it was authentic to their new life.
And, if she was honest, even more adorable than she had hoped.
âHehehehee, Kaya!â Kallie giggled, fighting off the overzealous puppyâs kissing onslaught.
âWell, good morning, little one,â Mommy cooed, âHow did my precious babygirl sleep, hmmm?â
âM-mooooorning, Mama,â Kallie yawned, wiping the sleep from her eyes.
Mommy scooped up her groggy little, who clung to her like a koala. Kallieâs diaper squished on Mommyâs forearm, yet Mommy still pulled back the waistband of her diaper.
âMamaaa!â Kallie whined.
Mommy expected that reaction, of course. Kallie always squirmed and fussed when her diaper was checked the first thing after she woke up.
Not that Kallie should be surprised. By now, waking up dry isnât even a consideration. And waking up to a clean diaper is more of a surprise than a messy diaper.
âNo poopies!â Mommy announces, carrying Kallie out of the room.
The smell of sizzling bacon and chocolate chip pancakes is unmistakable once they leave the bubble of baby powder and soiled diapers.
âPantiecakes!â Kallie squealed in delight. Mommy canât help but laugh at Kallieâs adorable name for pancakes.
Kallie was so excited about her âpantiecakes,â that she completely forgot it was Christmas morningâat least until she got upstairs.
There was no mistaking that it was Christmas up here.
As always, Nana and Gampaâs cabin was decked out for Christmas. Strings of Christmas lights wrapped the wooden walls as firewood crackled in the fireplace. And of course, the freshly cut Christmas tree with stacks of presents under it.
Though, unsurprisingly, Kallie only had eyes for the presents.
âPwesents!â Kallie shouted, bouncing in Mommyâs arms.
Her pure, innocent excitement drew everyoneâs attention to her, causing her to blush profusely.
âMerry Christmas, Peanut!â Daddy said from the kitchen,
She didnât have any time to answer before Nana was pinching her cheeks and gushing over how cute she was.
âBreakfast will be ready in 15,â Daddy announced, âI have her morning bottle ready. Do you mind, babe?â
âOh, no, you relax, dear,â Nana waved Mommy away. âThis is a job for Nana, isnât it, baby?â
Kalieâs cheeks continued to redden as she was placed in Nanaâs lap. The twenty-two-year-old never felt more babyish than when Nana doted on her.
Especially lying there in her pajamas that did little to hide how soggy her diaper was.
And Nana always fussed over her diaper.
By the time her bottle was empty, Kallie was lost in a milk haze, barely registering Daddyâs voice as Nana burped her.
âKallie? Do you wanna help Dada bring over the plates for breakfast?â
She answered with a loud burp.
âGood girl, get all the icky bubbles out of your tummy,â Nana encouraged as she gently patted Kallieâs back.
âC-coming, Dada!â Kallie shouted after one last burp.
âBe careful not to spill, baby,â Dada warned as Kallie grabbed two plates, âThose are for Nana and Gampa.â
After delivering the plates, Kallie turned around to get the remaining few.
âCome here, sweetie. Letâs get you in your high chair, okay?â
âB-buh!â
âNo butts,â Mommy laughed, picking Kallie up and depositing her into her highchair. Her little feet swayed nervously being the center of attention.
Gampa took Kallieâs plate and cut up her pancakes into bite-sized pieces while Nana made silly faces.
âDonât forget her bib, hun.â
âHow could I forget?â Daddy laughed, wrapping the bib around Kallie.
The bib is red with a picture of Santa, next to it says, âDrinks more milk than Santa!â
âCan you read what it says, Peanut?â Daddy asked.
Her cheeks are as rosy red as the Santa on her bib. âD-dwinks moâ m-milk den SantaâŠâ
âWow, good job!â Nana gushed, âWhat a smart baby you two have!â
âShe loves to read,â Mommy said proudly, âIf only she had that same enthusiasm for potty training!â
âAwww, donât be too quick to make it past the diaper phase!â Nana responded sagely, âYouâll miss those moments one day.â
âWell, Iâll let you change her after those pancakes make it to her diaper, Mom,â Mommy retorted, smiling.
Daddy didnât give her any time to dwell on the idea, feeding her a piece of pancake. Chocolate smeared on her cheeks.
âYour Daddy tells me youâre itching to go sledding today, little one. Are you sure youâre ready?â Gampa asked Kallie.
âI donât know about that, Dad,â Mommy interjected.
âMhm! Mâa big girl! I cans do it, Mama!â
Gampa laughed at her bravery.
âDadaaaa,â Kallie whined, bouncing and kicking her legs after waiting too long in between bites.
âHow could I forget my little Kallieâs nummies?â Daddy answered.
âDonât forget to drink your juice,â Mommy said, putting a sippy cup on her tray.
Juice trickled down Kallieâs cheeks and into her bib.
âHave you been a good girl for Santa this year?â Nana asked.
âM..Mâfink sos! IâŠumm..been using ma manners aâŠan not squirmin and fussin during didi changes f-for m-mah teachers ah daycares!â
âWell,â Nana said conspiratorially, âThat must be why I saw so many presents under the tree!â
Kallie giggled as she took another bite of pancakes.
âThatâs my girl,â Daddy announced, ruffling her hair, âAll done!â
âThat must mean itâs time for presents!â Gampa added.
âYahhhh pwesents! Pwesents, pweeeease?â
Mommy shot him an angry look.
âOnce we clean up, honey. Not before,â Mommy commanded.
âH-hey!â Kallie squealed as Daddy checked her diaper.
âShe didnât poop yet, right, babe?â he asked Mommy.
âNot yet, but it shouldnât be too long.â
All Kallie could do is cover her face in embarrassment until Nana pulls them away and wipes her cheeks and hands of the chocolate.
âWhy donât you watch some tv while the adults clean up, hmm?â Daddy suggested.
âB-buhâŠpwesents!â
âOnce we clean up, I promise, kiddo.â
âKayâŠwanna watch Bluey! Pretty please?â
âBluey it is,â Mommy conceded, pulling her from the highchair and bringing her to the living room. âNow, can you be a good girl and watch quietly, or do I need to get your playpen?â
âNuh uh! Big girl, Mama!â
âOkay, I trust you, baby.â Before she left to clean with Nana, Mommy put on Bluey.
Once out of earshot, Nana worriedly turns to Mommy. âIâm worried about her. Is she backed up?â
âOh, sheâs fine. Sheâs been a little potty-shy lately. Let her think we're distracted and Iâm sure sheâll move things along.â
Nana nodded, but kept a watchful eye on the poor girl.
âTrust me, sheâs okay. You won't have to wait long.â
âI donât know, sheâs such a cutie. I hate thinking sheâs uncomfortable.â
Kallie glanced at the adults, who all seemed busy. She stood up, eyes fixed on the tv, whimpering as she unconsciously did a potty dance to the intro of Bluey.
âBingo!â she shouted.
She sang along while slyly looking for a comfortable place to poop. She spied the couch and slowly toddled over, trying to act innocent.
Daddy elbowed Mommy and Nana, knowing all of Kallieâs telltale signs sheâs about to fill her diaper.
âBluey!â
As the show started, Kallie slowly crept to her chosen spot on the back of the couch, pushing her tummy against it and squatting down a bit.
âMmghh.â
Her big breakfast and last nightâs dinner erupted into the back of her diaper as she pushed. Her diaper strained under the weight of her mess, drooping dangerously low and pulling down her pajamas.
Everyone watched her little show, doing their best not to ruin the adorable moment unfolding on the couch.
At the silly girl who thinks sheâs not obviously messing her diaper.
âMmmggghhhh.â
A loud toot betrayed her, forcing her to blush. She wiggled her butt, still pooping, pretending to be invested in Bluey.
âA..allâŠmghffâŠd-done,â she whispered to herself.
After one final grunt, she takes a deep breath and relaxes, giggling. She immediately went back to watching her show, dancing and bouncing on the couch.
Unable to help herselfâand struggling to stay composed in the face of something so adorableâNana sat next to Kallie, smiling.
She does her best to ignore the smell of Kallieâs very dirty diaper.
âEnjoying your show, baby? Your Mama says this is your favorite! Can you tell me about it?â
Kallie tried to inch away from Nana to stay undetected, but is pulled into her lap.
Fighting to stay innocent, she nods excitedly. âMhm! Dats Bluey! An an dats Bingo!â
Nana let Kallie ramble on about her favorite show, telling her about her favorite episodes, and who all the characters are.
âThose are her Mama and Dada! Buh theyâre not as cool as mines! My Mama and Dada are the bestest!â
âAwww, thank you, peanut!â Daddy said as he headed downstairs to grab her diaper supplies.
Kallieâs rambling immediately slowed as Daddy came back upstairs with her diaper bag and set up the changing station right next to the Christmas tree.
âUhhâŠummmâŠkeepy uppy is my favorite,â Kallie mumbled distractedly.
âOhh, thatâs exciting,â Nana responded, looking past Kalie.
Kallie feels the back of her diaper pulled back, turning to find Mommy smiling at her.
âUhh ohhh, does Mama have a stinky baby, hmm? Are you my stinky baby? Yes, you are! Mamaâs little stinkerpants!â
Nana sensed her embarrassment and pinched her cheeks before pulling Kallie into a hug.
âDonât be embarrassed, sweetpea! Nana knows youâre just a baby and couldnât help it!â
âWell, either way, time to get that tushie clean,â Mommy laughed, carrying you to the changing pad.
Nana followed Mommy, but Gampa grabbed his coffee and headed to the patio. âYou girls have fun.â
Mommy knelt between Kallieâs legs and pulled off her pajama pants as Nana sat down next to her.
âKaya, no!â Mommy chided the dog who shoved her nose into her diaper.
Kallie wiggles in shame, eyes welling with tears. âNuuu, donâ wan ch-changies!â
As Mommy prepares the wipes, Kallie kicks and fusses, forcing her to grab her ankles.
âSuch a squirmy baby this morning, arenât you? Someone must be excited to play in the snow with Kaya after presents!â
Mommy knew she said the magic words as Kallie stopped fussing.
Kallie looked out the window at the falling snow and then down to the presents next to her.
âP-pwesants an-and swedding!â
âThatâs right, honey,â Mommy cooed as she ripped the tabs of her diaper and used the front to wipe as much poop from her tush as possible. âOnce you're clean, you can open presents!â
Between the promise of presents and sledding, Kallie barely fussed as her legs were thrust into the air and Mommy wiped her bum clean of poopâa slow process given the extent of her mess.
Kallie still wasnât used to being changed so openly, like she was a genuine baby. Especially when there were people other than Mommy and Daddy.
Though she couldnât deny she loved the attention from Mommy and Nana.
After what Kallie was sure was three hours, Mommy finally taped on her diaper and slid up her pajamas.
âThere, all done, Ladybug! That wasnât so bad, was it? Thank you for not being a squirmy wormy baby!â Mommy praised, before blowing a big raspberry on Peanutâs tummy.
âHehehe Mama!! Ticklesss!â
Nana grabbed the stinky, rolled up diaper and threw it away.
âDo I spy a clean Peanut?â Daddy boomed coming inside with Gampa. âIs it time for presents?â
âYayayaya! Pwesents Dada!!â
Daddy suddenly looked serious. âWell, sweetie, can you do something very important for us?â
âMhm!â
âI knew I could trust you! Youâre going to be Santa and choose the next present for everyone to open? Can you do that?â
âYeah, Dada!â
âGood girl! Weâre all counting on you!â
Everyone took their seats on the couch next to the Christmas tree. Kallie was shaking with eager excitement.
âWhoâs first, cutie?â
Kallie waddled to the tree, her diaper crinkling merrily with every step. When she bent down to choose a present, three inches of diaper poked out, causing Nana to gush about how cute she was.
âThis one, Dada!â she decided, running to Gampa with a gift.
By the time she gave everyone but herself a gift, she was buzzing. Wrapping paper was strewn over the floor.
âTime for one of yours, honey!â Daddy said, âGrab one and come sit on my lap.â
âOkay, Dada!!â
Kallie grabbed the biggest one she could find. âThis one from Nana and Gampa!!â
Daddy helped Peanut bring it over, putting the present at his feet for Kallie to open. She didnât need any encouragement, ripping it open without any hesitation.
âAhhhh, itsa Bluey play house!!! An an an look it has Bluey and Bingo! Thank you Nana and Gampa!â Kallie shouted as she ran over to give them hugs.
âYouâre very welcome, dear,â Nana answered, patting her cheek. Gampa looked just as surprised as Kallie to discover what the present was.
Suddenly, Kallie looked like she remembered something. âOh oh, Mama and Dada!! MâŠI made you this at daycare an anâŠitâs cause youâre the bestest Mama and Dada ever!â
She bent down and grabbed a poorly wrapped package, holding it as if it were her masterpiece. She brought it to Daddy for them to open.
âMy gosh, Peanut!â Daddy gushed, âYou got us something?â
âM-mhm! Open it!â
Mommy carefully unwrapped the present, trying to fight back tears. When they opened the box they found a Christmas ornament.
âBabyâŠthis isâŠwellâŠâ Mommy could no longer fight back tears, âThis is the best gift ever!â
She held up the ornament for Nana and Gampa to see. It was a beautiful red ball with a drawing of Mommy, Daddy, and Kallie.
On the other side of the drawing, Kallie had written âBabyâs First Christmas, 2025.â
A collective âawwwwâ rang out as Mommy and Daddy wrapped their babygirl in a bear hug.
âWe love you, little one,â Mommy crackled through tears, âMore than youâll ever know.â
âIâŠI love you too, Mama. And Dada!â
The moment was only broken when Daddy couldnât control himself anymore and walked to his bedroom to âgrab something specialâ for Kallie.
She was confused as she still had more than a few presents to open.
Mommy gave him the âslow downâ look, but it was obvious Daddy couldnât wait any longer.
When he got back, there was only a small, neatly wrapped box in his hand. He scooped up Kallie and put her in his lap.
âThis is from Mama and me, sweetie. I couldnât wait anymore after I opened your amazing gift. Anyway, here you go.â
Kallie took the box from Daddy, holding it like it was a precious gem. She ripped the wrapping paper and found only a black box.
âOpen it, silly,â Daddy said to her confused look.
When she did, she saw some weird bracelet. It took a second to realize what it is.
âI-is thisâŠa-a Magic band, Dada?â she asked.
âWhy donât you keep opening it, baby?â Daddy prompted.
She did.
Kallie found a hand drawn ticket from Daddy that said âGood for one week at Disney World with Mommy and Daddy.â
Underneath it was a paper wrapped around a keycard that said âKallieâs key to the Beach Club Resort.â
Under the keycard were a few random tickets, such as: one âGood for ONE Get Out Of A Nap Freeâ card; two âGood for ONE big girl drink at Epcotâ cards; and three âGood for ONE Snack of Your Choiceâ cards; and finally, one âGood for ONE Disney Stuffie of Your Choiceâ card.
Kallie slowly put it all together, her eyes full of tears. She looked at Daddy. And then Mommy.
âW-weâre g-going to D-Disneyw-world?!â
âThatâs right, baby! We leave in two weeks!â
Kallie squealed in utter delight, practically tackling Daddy as she leaned to hug both him and Mommy.
It was another ten minutes before she calmed down enough to start handing out more presents. Of course, more than a few of the presents were Disney related to tease the idea of Disney before the grand reveal.
But it didnât matter.
Not when they watched their little one fully regress in pure, unfiltered joy. By the time she opened her last present, she barely resembled the twenty-two year old girl she was.
She was their little.
An hour later, Kallie was lying on the carpet next to her Bluey playset, fast asleep, still holding her Bluey figurine in her hand. Her binky still bobbed slowly.
Daddy and Mommy watched her sleep for a few minutes, soaking it all in. Eventually, Daddy put down his whiskey and carefully picked her up and brought her downstairs for a nap.
All anyone could talk about for the next hour she was asleep was how adorable their little Kallie wasâand how perfect their first Christmas was going.
Mommy tried to talk Daddy out of taking her sledding after she woke up. But eventually gave in. Besides, the thick, poofy snowsuit they got was far too adorable to not use.
And the hill behind the cabin wasnât too dangerous. She may be their little, but she was big enough to be safe. And itâs not like Daddy and Gampa wouldnât be right there with her.
But until she woke up, they were content to prepare dinner and watch football, checking on her every so often in the baby monitor.
Tonightâs bedtime diaper pick is a barebum! Theyâre one of the very first diapers I was ever changed into by someone else so I always think of that time when I wear one of these đ
