NOTE: Sorry about the abrupt ending to part 1.
Josh woke up a little more when I rolled him over on his back. I noticed right off that the bottom of his T-Shirt was wet. "Not a good sign my boy." I said lifting the shirt up and pulling it off of him. I tossed it toward the hamper hoping it would hit.
Josh knew what was meant by my comment. I knew that Josh was capable of staying perfectly dry overnight, all he had to do was make sure he did not drink anything the hour before he went to bed, took his medication that helped him in that area and remembered to go to the bathroom before going to bed. When Josh first came to stay with me the accidents happened on a nightly occurrence. This was because Josh had never been to a doctor for his incontinence problem. When I took him the doctor put him on the regime I mentioned earlier and told me that it would help, and it did. However, when Josh failed to remember any one component he ended up the next morning with wet underwear, T-Shirt and often wet bed. Thus, the necessity of the diaper.
When I put Josh in the diaper I made a deal with him. If he managed to go one week without having a wet diaper in the morning I would no longer make him wear them but if he didn't then it would go for another week before he could try again. This helped but he still would have lapses. So, I raised the stakes on him. I told him the original deal was in place but if he did wet the diaper he would get a whipping with the strap every time. So Josh knew what I meant.
After removing Josh's shirt I untaped his diaper and found it quite soaked with urine. I went to the bathroom and got some baby wipes. I returned and removed the diaper from under his buttocks. I took a baby wipe and cleaned his groin. Then I turned him over on his stomach and cleaned off his buttocks. Then I threw the diaper away and I lifted Josh from the bed. I carried him to the bathroom and sat him on the toilet.
When he was done I took him back to his bedroom and cleaned him off and then I put him in his underwear for the day and a pair of shorts. I helped him put his shoes and socks on and then found him a shirt. I handed him his crutches. By this time Shawn was hollering for me. A good indication that he was awake.
To get to Shawn's room I had to go through the kitchen. David was seated at the table which he had already set for breakfast. "Thanks David." About this time Cody emerged from his bedroom and I quickly scooped him up in my arms hugging him and kissing him. "Morning Dad." was the only reaction I could get out of him. "Good Morning Cody." I said setting him back down on the floor. I continued on towards Shawn's room.
When I opened the door Shawn said, "too late." I raised my eyebrows because I was not sure what Shawn meant by this statement. "What?" I asked. "I was hoping to make it to the bathroom quicker." He said. I pulled back the covers and found he had also wet his diaper. I had the same arrangement with him. I took the diaper off and took him to his bathroom and then got him dressed. By the time I finished all the other kids were assembled at the table. "Take your seat Shawn." He obeyed me.
I made the first pancake and that always went to the oldest boy. Then Josh got his and Shawn and Cody. Then I sat down to eat one. This was how things worked in this house and the boys knew it. "Ok boys I have a proposal. Should the whipping ceremony be before supper tonight or just before bed as it always is?"
The whipping ceremony was something I came up with shortly after David came and I just added each boy to it as they arrived. Very simply, I did not want to have to strip an offender naked and give them a whipping every time the committed an offense worthy of it. That just wasn't practical. So I instituted the whipping ceremony.
Each night right before bed the boys would assemble in the living room, still fully clothed and starting with the oldest David I would read the day's offenses and then prescribe the punishment. When I had gotten through all four boys I would call David forward and remove his clothes. Then he would go into whatever position necessary, for a regular spanking over my knee, for a whipping with the strap over the back of a chair, and would have the punishment carried out. Each boy would have this happen until all had been punished.
There was much discussion between the boys about the benefits and drawbacks of when to have the ceremony. All knew that it WOULD happen one time or another. Finally, I called for a vote. I did not have a vote but in the case of a tie, there were four boys, I would break all ties. This would be one of those votes. David and Josh wanted to have the whipping ceremony before supper. Shawn and Cody wanted it before bed as it always was. From a practical standpoint that was better because there was no time after the spankings for any of them to commit any other offense.
If I held the ceremony before supper, which I did on rare occasions, each boy ran the risk of getting their whipping and then committing some other offense for which the penalty would be a spanking in private right before bed.
"Ok boys seeing as it is a tie vote I will break the tie. I vote for before supper because I want to go out to a movie tonight and I don't want to be home late because tomorrow is church. So the whipping ceremony will take place at Five PM in the living room. As you are all aware, any offenses committed afterwards will be punished by a private spanking in your bedroom before bed. Is that clear?" I said this last part looking at each boy. They all nodded their blonde little heads and I said, "good. Don't be late."
We finished breakfast and I cleared the dishes with David's help. He really was a good boy most of the time. "So what are we going to do before the movie Dad." He asked me. "Well David I think I will give Josh and Shawn their bath's, then help each of you with your homework, and then maybe we'll go outside and play basketball or touch football or something. Shawn can keep score."
"Will we play in the backyard or frontyard Dad?" David asked. This was important because the backyard was secluded and fenced in. The front yard was wide open and I had three neighbors on that side of the house. When we played in the front yard all the boys were fully clothed or maybe had their shirts off. When we played in the backyard often times the boys were naked.
I believed that it was perfectly ok for my boys to be naked. However, I knew that if the public were aware of it I could be in big trouble. So I never allowed the boys to be naked in the front yard. "We'll probably play in the backyard tonight David."
Inside the house the boys were also often found naked. At any time it was each boy's choice of whether he should wear clothes or be naked while at home or in the backyard.
After we finished clearing the table I went and got Josh ready to take a bath. All the clothes I just spent time putting him in had to come back off and I carried him naked into the bathroom. I set him down on the floor while I ran the water, when the tub was full I picked him up and put him in.
