Ageplay in World of Warcraft

Daddy: “So we discussed maybe never mentioning it in the blog, but the fact is, one of us is a World of Warcraft addict.. and she’s not male. Just a hint. Incorporating it is strange in a way, because it’s not a ‘little’ environment — my baby gets practice being responsible for a guild and making decisions. It can have something of a daddy/girl dynamic when we play together, though.”

Princess: “Except I’m taller.”

Daddy: “No baby, that’s just an optical illusion. When we’re on the phone and playing, especially if I’m the one who knows where things are and what we’re supposed to be doing –”

Princess: “And I’m the one who gets lost..”

Daddy: “– it’s not hard for it to feel that way. And when you’re whining, like about falling gem prices.”

Princess: “Ugh, I hate that! It’s really bad. Why would someone sell something for 14% of its value? But I never whine. Well, I whine about you not playing enough.”

Daddy: “Another way I’m still Daddy in the game is that in groups, when something is wrong or awkward, you expect me to say or do something — if I’m there, you don’t speak up.”

Princess: “And I get mad when you don’t think to.”

Daddy: “I found this site with a hilarious comic imagining a diapered guild, ‘World of Wetcraft‘. It could use some diapered girls, not just guys in wet leather pants, but you should read it!  I read that MMOs tend to have more liberal sexuality.”

Princess: “Well, that’s because nerds and geeks are kinkier. That’s a good thing. “

Daddy: “Yeah, but except for incredibly lame sex chat in the Trade channel, it seems pretty discreet. Oh, remember that time you called the wrong guy daddy?”

Princess: “No! Don’t remember! Please don’t remember! Well, I called him Daddy, and then I didn’t realize and called him Daddy again, and then I messaged him saying I called the wrong person Daddy. His reply was ‘LMAO’. I hope I never meet that person again. It was horrible, horrible! I’m glad I don’t know his name..”

Daddy: “I’m sure he thought it was.. uh.. completely innocent, sweetheart.”

Little girl knockout bedtime stories: please share your routine!

Many people have visited since we began this weblog over the weekend, and we’ve even been linked to once. Thanks very much!

I wanted to share with other Daddies (and Mommies, if any stop by) my surefire bedtime story combo. Reading these three stories in this order knocks my little girl out every time. If you have time to comment, please share your bedtime routines: we would love to read them, and so would others who pass through!

Before starting, anything physical should be done: her hair doesn’t need any fixing, teeth are brushed, and she’s in a clean diaper and pj’s.

We start with a pretty long one, “Amelia Bedelia” by Peggy Parish.  Still, it challenges young minds to understand homophones as the maid manages to misinterpret her every instruction. My little girl sometimes explains them to me as I read the story to her, and having this more involved, “thinking” story with lots of action is a good way to spend some time interacting and get rid of the last of her energy. So, interruptions will be more frequent in this one, and that’s ok! As I said, it’s long, and listening to the whole thing wears a little girl out!  Be advised, you will have to say “Amelia Bedelia” about 10,000 times, but the repetition is probably subtly soothing, so stick with it: don’t skip anything. Get any snacks or drinks out of the way during this story!

Turn down the lights and get more comfortable now, because by the time you get to Goodnight Moon, you’re more than halfway there. The story is .. well, there is no story. There’s nothing to understand or interpret — you just say goodnight to everything in the room. There’s no action or plot whatsoever. Even in the room, virtually everything is still, so you’re not going to have any little fingers pointing at the pictures asking questions — not unless you started with this one by mistake (bad idea, go do Amelia Bedelia first). You might have to explain what a “bowl of mush” is once or twice, but it’s not important; none of it is. The fact that there’s nothing to connect within the story probably helps you settle into a steady rhythm in reading it. The book doesn’t rhyme, but has it has a definite cadence, and you’ll find yourself reading it slowly and quietly, with frequent pauses. I find she’s very nearly asleep at the end of this one, and is only awake enough to request the final story.

She asks for “Ten Little Toes”, because those are the first words of this one. And this one, “Ten, Nine, Eight”, is extremely cunning: not only does it have the same type of sounds as Goodnight Moon (repetitive, slow, with slight rhyme), the whole book is a countdown! It counts things as a little girl gets ready for bed. That’s pretty brilliant, I think. I’m not sure my baby has ever even heard the end, despite how incredibly short the book is: she’s usually out by “3″.  Because it’s so short, I wouldn’t try to do it second: this one has to be third, to finish her off.

I know you’re not new at this, but this sequence of stories really works, so make sure your little one is in the right position before you begin this one, so that if you’re going to get up, you have a way to do it without moving them and waking them up.

Does anyone reading this also use these stories, or do you have your own sequence, or bedtime routine you rely on? Please tell everyone in a comment, and sleep tight.

And the winner is…

Just a short post about what my favorite diapers are.  If there’s anyone here who has not tried Bambinos then get some right now!  They are thick, kinda plastic-like (but breathes), and they don’t look medical at ALL.  I find that the only negative thng is that I can’t really wear them out (cause of how obvious they’d be) – but thats really not a negative, since i WANT them to be all thick and stuff.  For going out, or even for days when you want to feel like a big girl I highly reccomend Goodnites!  They are gel-diapers, so they get all squishy, but you dont feel wet or uncomfortable in them.  Sometimes wearing those, you forget you have a diaper at all.  Another new type of big girl pullup is Underjams – they are just like goodnites (but prettier) and even more comfy (and they hold more too.. so less leaks).

And the winner is… Underjams!!!! .. and also Bambinos!  Underjams are the best for comfort, practicality, and they let me be daddy’s girl even in public without making too much of a show of it.  Bambinos are asome in their baby-ness, and is perfect for when daddy wants to “change” me while i lie down and lift up my legs, and they truly make me his baby.  Anyone else agree? Disagree? Any suggestions?

Potty Training Tips!

When you do ageplay, all kind of things are grist for power exchange. It’s fun to read real parenting tips. “Real” works best for us, so I’m happy to have found a little potty training article while checking for diapers in the news. Often the tone set is the thing, I think: a certain matter-of-factness to molding the little person in the picture.

Power-play is a huge part of our ageplay relationship, so creating complete dependence on diapers for my little girl is going to be a long and fun process for both of us, but the point here is that I know I’ll eventually have a reason to re-train her! She won’t want to go back, at that point, but then, that’s the beauty of it being my choice.

We may be planning a trip with family, or maybe she’ll be going back to work full-time. Introducing her to the potty chair and progressing through the training routine will keep us just as close — and her under control — as diapering. Right, princess?

In reading this article, I can see myself pushing her from 24/7 diapers into pull-ups and potty, then to training pants and potty, until she graduates — almost.  She’s going to love putting up a fight and losing, and every success and failure will invite more love and discipline. The article:

My three year old is finally potty trained. It seems like it was a long road. She started experimenting with the potty at about a year old. Sitting on the potty for fun and experimenting with it in our routine were both part our system. We never forced it but wanted to make it easy and something she wanted to do. She had periods of success that never seemed to make it to the next level and stay there. Until, that is, we stopped using paper pull-up diapers.

An easy thing to do to hurry success is to eliminate pants of any kind. This works only around the house, but can really give potty training a boost. It works because no one likes to feel pee pee going down their legs. So that stops quickly. And calls for “potty” start coming quickly.

For going out in public, one easy thing to do that allows little ones to feel their pee without making a big mess is to use cotton undies with homemade cotton inserts. These inserts are really cheap and easy to make. You can simply cut up old blankets into strips and sew the edges down with a machine. I used flannel swaddling blankets. You can also use old burp cloth without sewing, just folded to make a strip. If you don’t have any of these, a folded wash cloth can also work. Make sure it is really soft though.

There are cloth pull-ups on the market you can buy, but they’re pretty expensive and I found just using the homemade cloth pull-ups that I mentioned above to be much easier and just as good, if not better.

Isn’t that a nice idea? (From Examiner.com)

Daddy

Not me: I have a beard

Soon I will post pictures of some daddy/girl beef ribs, but before I start cooking I should introduce myself.

I’m daddy to a sweet, funny, and sometimes (almost never!) bossy little girl. We’ve talked a few times about what got us started looking for each other. I’d never been in a daddy/girl relationship before, and I can’t remember what gave me the idea, but somehow I knew I wanted a happy, excitable, talkative girl to take on trips and take care of. It shows how new I was at it that I hadn’t even thought about diapers!

These days I’m trying to get ahead in my career, so I can provide for my baby well and give her a lot of security. I’ll be very pleased if we can end up in a home in the suburbs and see some important spots in Europe in the next couple years.

She’s already written about our interest in history. We like Roman and British history a lot.. I think my baby has every book there is about Elizabeth and Henry VIII (I’m into more recent periods). I’m glad that getting a degree in it had some point: I get to teach my little girl to be a little historian and learn things she’d have never known she’d be interested in! Now she knows much, much more than I do about Tudor England.

It can be tough, since emotions run so high in it, but I love the closeness and dependence of the D/lg dynamic. I don’t think of myself as dominant, just in charge of my princess. Nothing makes me happier than telling her what to do and hearing her answer “Yes, daddy.” It motivates me to take the best care of her that I can. In this blog, I look forward to playing with my little girl, writing about our ideas and relationship issues, and meeting others with our interests.

Be good, baby!

Princess Revealed

Since this is a new blog, both daddy and I will make a post sort of introducing ourselves, then we’ll get in to all the fun parts of the AB lifestyle, and the rewards and challenges it brings us.

I am an adult little girl (sometimes more baby), and although we’re not living together yet, I’m very very close to daddy, and we are getting everything set up for me tomake the move and come live with him. My daddy and I have been together for a long time, and we are a naturally dominant/submissive couple.  Of course I speak up all the time, and we have fights like everyone else, but the base of our relationship is that he takes care of me, and I look to him for answers and guidance. I love the softer submission of being controlled by being cared for and adored – I mean what girl wouldn’t love that?

Besides the natural things like coloring and princesses, I also love history.  Daddy is a historian of sorts, and he got me to love it early on, and now I can have a big girl conversation with him about Cicero, Henry vii etc anytime .  We have had bedtime stories including “goodnight moon” and “the 12 ceasars” by Suetonius, but both make me feel like his little girl, and it helps me to feel like his little girl no matter what things are like around us.

Enough about me – now I want to hear what daddy has to say about himself and why he’s such an awsome daddy.
