It appears mummy has Babykins pretty much where she wants him.

BOUND FOR BED

PART ONE

‘Come to mummy pet lamb. Why? Because it’s two o’clock, time for you to get ready for beddy-byes. Yes I know your usual bedtime on a Saturday is three o’clock but your sister wants you safely tucked up in bed so she can enjoy the rest of her party. Lets get you into your bedtime pyjamas. No you can’t go to your room to get changed, mummy always put you into your pyjamas downstairs. Don’t be silly; no one is looking at you. All the girls are dancing.

You looked very sweet in your frilly winceyette ruffled yoke pyjamas; turn around so mummy can undo the buttons. Since you have been such a good boy I think you should wear those pyjamas when we visit your ex girlfriend next week instead of the teddy bear winceyette one’s don’t you?

Oh dear, tears before bedtime again, you really are a cry-baby aren’t you. Shush, dry your eyes and hug teddy, that’s a clever boy.

Tell mummy what pair of pyjamas you want to wear. What’s that? The blue winceyette ones with the choo- choo trains? You know full well those are your big boys pyjamas.
Since you can’t be sensible mummy will choose for you. Yes I know you are nineteen years old but if you insist on behaving like a baby mummy will have to treat you like one.

Now let me see, yes, I think the pink super soft winceyette pyjamas with the lambs on your sister bought you will be just right. Pardon? Because even at fourteen years old your sister is far more mature than it seems you will ever be. That’s why she is permitted to choose your pyjamas, now stand still while I button you into your pyjama jacket. I don’t care if it is uncomfortable, the top button remains fastened and I will tie the neck ribbon into a gorgeous big pink bow to show off the pretty Peter-Pan collar.

There now, don’t you look sweet my pet lamb? Well I don’t care if you don’t like the frilly lacy cuffs; mummy likes them and that is all that matters. That’s right hold tightly on to teddy. No, I think we will leave the pretty pink ribbons the girls put into your hair. Of course they weren’t making fun of you they were just playing.

Now mummy wants you to lie down on your favourite pink baby blanket. Mummy has run out of Dry-Nites-Pyjama Pants so she will have to use these soft fluffy flannelette nappies and the pink plastic nursery pants, see the little teddy-bears, just like your teddy.

Naughty baby! Don’t ever throw teddy away like that again. You know what happens when you have baby tantrums don’t you. Over my knee you go for a nursery style spanking!

Mummy knows how to deal with naughty babies. It won’t be long until you are tightly tucked up in your bed.

Now repeat after me.

SPANK! I promise to be a good little nineteen-year-old baby. Louder, I want your sister and her friends to hear every word.

SPANK!  Baby is sorry for spoiling his sister’s birthday party. Stop crying, I have hardly touched you yet.

SPANK!   From now on I want to go to bed at one o’clock every weekend. Say it so we can all hear you.

SPANK! From now on, I want to wear my pink baby pyjamas and nappies all day. Certainly you can Babykins. Girls, you all heard the little baby.

SPANK!  I want to visit my ex girlfriend and her mummy wearing my bedtime pyjamas and take teddy with me and I want them both to spank me.

I think that can be arranged Babykins!  

Yes your bottom will be sore, but who is to blame for that? Yes well of course everyone wants to watch. Whose fault is that? Lift up your bottom, that’s it, does the cream feel soothing? Now for the nappies, there’s nothing like flannelette for softness is there baby? See, all that fuss for nothing; you love your soft nap-naps don’t you. Now for your pants. Nice tight elastic, no leaks for mummy to clean up.

Now stand still while I tuck your pyjama jacket into your baby pants. Yes I know that makes you look silly and babyish but mummy wanted the girls to get a good view of you in your nappies before you go to bed.

Now I want you to go and pick teddy up, tell him you are very sorry for throwing him away and give him a big kiss, that’s it, a big sloppy kiss. Tell teddy you love him in a big loud voice. Well-done pet lamb!

Girls, that was very unkind there was no need to laugh.

Babykins, you will now face the wall with hands on your head for five minutes and I will pin your dum-dum to your pyjamas so you can’t throw that away!

Have you calmed down now? I should hope so. Step into your pyjama bottoms quickly now, that’s a good Babykins; yes I know they are too big for you that’s why mummy will pull them up nice and high. Well maybe you do look a little foolish but I am a sure no-one minds  except you and your opinion doesn’t count in this household does it Babykins? Never mind about the ribbons sewn on to your pyjama trousers, they are for mummy to know and Babykins to find out.

Can I trust you not to undo the buttons on your pyjamas once you are tucked up in beddy-byes?

I don’t think you are being truthful sweet pea so mummy is going to fasten your handie-pandies into these lovely soft lambs wool mittens that your sister made for you. Isn’t she clever?

Say thank you to your sister, a big hug and a kiss I think, good Babykins. The pink wool matches your cheeks perfectly.

You are right, with those mittens on your brother will have no choice but to remain firmly buttoned into his babyish pink pyjamas no matter how uncomfortable they become. Oh dear!

Right hands by your sides’ pet lamb, that’s it, hold still while your sister and I tie your wrists to your pyjamas, yes, you see now what the ribbons are for. Perfect!

I am sick and tired of putting you to bed only to find you scampering around in your pyjamas after you should be fast asleep. From now on you will be confined to bed once you are put there and stay there until your sister or I say so!

Now pet lamb, time to give your sister her birthday present. No, I know you aren’t allowed to have any money, but your sister asked if she could give you your bedtime spanking as your present to her. Over you go.

Tears again! It can hardly hurt Babykins, after all you are wearing thick flannelette nappies, plastic baby pants and winceyette pyjamas.

No dear, I don’t think your friends can have a turn at spanking your brother, I think it is time our nineteen-year-old baby was put to beddy-byes.

Say night-night to the girl’s Babykins, good boy. Mummy will bring teddy. Careful now, if you fall over mummy will make you crawl upstairs like the little baby you are. I know it's hard to balance with your handie-pandies tied to your jim-jams but do your best. That’s it, into your bedroom. Yes I know it is very dark in here, all the better to help you sleep my pet lamb.

Yes I am afraid mummy does have to tie your dum-dum in place otherwise you just spit it out. Too late for promises I am afraid, now open wide, hold still while I tie the ribbon behind your head, that's it. There, just suck gently on your dum-dum and you will soon get used to it. Mummy will make you all nice and cosy.

See the lovely warm sheets mummy has put on your bed for you? Now mummy just has to give Babykins a little push and he topples straight into his cosy bed, oops a daisy!

Mummy will tuck you in good and tight and snugly. Babykins won’t be getting out of beddy-byes in a hurry from now on will he? Undoing the buttons on your jimmy-jams is out of the question now isn’t it my sweet. Is the lacy collar beginning to chafe already, well that top button will stay fastened no matter what. And I suppose you are feeling quite warm thanks to your pyjamas and the brushed cotton sheets, not to mention your lovely thick flannelette nappied botty. Well just wait until I put this extra warm eiderdown on you bed. There, that will help keep the chill out.

Now, shall I tuck teddy in beside you? You don't want teddy? Well mummy thinks teddy will be sad to find Babykins doesn't love teddy anymore so mummy will just put teddy beside you in any case.

What’s that pet lamb? Mummy can’t make out what her big nineteen-year-old baby is trying to say. Ha-ha, so you don't want to be mummy's baby anymore? That's a shame because mummy can't imagine you not being her Babykins. Mummy thinks you will be her Babykins for a very long time yet. Now, you just gurgle away babyishly while mummy sits with you until you fall fast asleep. Can you hear the girls outside playing and laughing in the warm sun while you are tucked up in bed  in your babyish pyjamas? You can, good. Pet lamb you will always be my Babykins, your life will consist of permanent early bedtimes and wearing sweet baby jim-jams.

Now Babykins must go to sleepy-byes now and perhaps later he can have a warm bottle of milk later and some yummy rice pudding. I am sure your sister wouldn’t mind bringing her friends up to watch as she spoon feeds you Then it will be straight back to bye-byes for you until morning. 

My we have had a lot of tears today, I really should get you to bed earlier. I think a one o’clock bedtime would be more appropriate from now on and no day clothes. I will keep you dressed in nappies and pyjamas permanently from now on Babykins. Your sister can help by baby-sitting you and perhaps you’re ex girlfriend will help.

Hush now don’t get upset. You will soon get used to your new bedtime and pyjama routine and you can look forward to being mummy’s pyjama clad Babykins for a long time to come! Now, off to sleepy-byes like a good Babykins.

PART TWO

Is my Pet lamb awake? Of course you are. Look who’s here to see you? Yes it’s Melanie your old girlfriend! How sweet, mummy loves to hear you gurgling away from behind your dummy. Let me just undo these bedclothes.

No need to be shy, let mummy untie your dummy so you can say hello to Melanie. There now isn’t this nice, give Melanie a kiss pet lamb.

If you don’t give Melanie a kiss right now I will put you into your pushchair and get Melanie to take you into town dressed just as you are. That’s better.

Aren’t you pleased to see Melanie pet lamb? Teddy isn’t crying so why are you?

Well I expect he is shy Melanie, for some reason he gets upset when people see him in his pretty pink baby jim-jams

His pyjamas? Yes they are warm and cosy; although I don’t think Babykins likes them very much do you sweet pea? Still, he will just have to get used to them. I’ve decided to keep him permanently in pyjamas and nappies, so much easier to cope with his baby tantrums. I can just pop him into bed when he has a tantrum.

Yes that’s right, a nappy, didn’t I tell you?

There, see. Yes, flannelette sheets cut into nappy sized squares; he loves being put into his lovely soft nappies, don’t you pet lamb?

No need to blush pet lamb, Melanie knows what a big baby you are.

What? Oh the mittens and the hand restraints, yes well I was so tired of him getting out of beddy-byes without permission that I devised this method to keep him tucked into bed.

Why thank you Melanie, I thought it was a good idea too! Now I know my pet lamb will stay safely tucked into beddybyes until we untie him. Isn’t that right Babykins? Yes it is, coochie coo!

Ha-ha don't you like mummy tickling under your chin?  Do you know, I think the excitement of seeing you has made Babykins wet his nappy? Let me see.

Naughty baby! Now mummy is very cross and will have to punish you. Hold still while I remove your pyjama bottoms, that’s it. Thank you Melanie, just pull the bows and his hands will be free, now, out you come onto the changing table.
Of course you can Melanie, I don’t mind at all if you change our pet lamb. Oh for goodness sake not more crying, see what a baby he is Melanie.
No, leave his mittens on, give me his pyjama bottoms, mummy’s always having to wash your jim-jams aren’t I pet lamb? What a naughty baby.
That’s right, clean him thoroughly Melanie; no it doesn’t matter if it hurts. Baby must be taught a lesson. Hush now pet lamb, Melanie must learn if she is going to baby-sit you. Never mind shaking your head, mummy knows what’s best for her little Babykins.

Lie still! Or mummy will fetch the hairbrush, is that what you want? I thought not.
Clean nappies are behind you Melanie. Yes, nice and tight. Here let me pin them, no don’t worry, the tighter the better.
Yes those plastic pants are fine. No, it’s quite easy to buy such babyish prints in his size.
Tell Melanie how much you love to go shopping with mummy for your baby pants Babykins.

Ha-Ha. Yes that’s a good Babykins; yes that’s right, lots and lots. Clean pyjamas? In that bottom drawer, yes that one. No you can choose any pair you like; his sister has altered most of them.
Oh how sweet, the yellow teddy bears pyjamas. He does look ever so babyish wearing those pyjamas. Yes they are lovely and soft aren’t they?
Babykins look at the lovely jim-jams Melanie has chosen for you, say thank you to her.

Pardon? Babykins! How rude. I am going to have to punish you for that outburst you naughty baby.
Over you go, no point in struggling, you know mummy is far stronger than her little nineteen-year-old baby.

Spank! Tell Melanie you’re a vewy sowwy Babykins, yes in your best baby voice. Say it!

Spank! Say, I love my teddy bears pyjamas. Louder!

Spank! Ask Melanie to put you into your jim-jams

Spank! Ask mummy to take you out in your nappies and pyjamas, no whispering, let Melanie hear.

Spank! Promise to be mummy’s Babykins forever and ever. Clever boy

Spank! Ask Melanie if she will baby sit for a naughty Babykins. That means you!

See, baby is all upset again for no good reason; Melanie, dress him in his pyjama jacket, quickly now.
Yes, that’s right; button it all the way up. You see how much calmer baby is becoming? His cosy babyish pyjamas help soothe him.
Now for the bottoms, ease his legs through then you can pull them straight up. No, he will lift his bottom for you. That’s it; see how he has almost stopped crying. There now, Babykins is all cosy-wosy in his lovely soft jim-jams isn’t he?

Yes you’re right; it is the softness of them that soothes him and calms him down.
Now, are his mittens still secure? Good. Tie his wrists to the sides of his pyjama bottoms, now we can pop him back into beddy-byes.

Oh yes! It’s back into bed for you Babykins.
Melanie would you go down and tell his sister her baby brother is ready for some din-dins now, thank you.

What a lovely girl she is, I am sure she will make an excellent babysitter for you.

Yes she will be allowed to spank you. Yes and put you to bed. Yes it will be early; you know you are not allowed to stay up late. Yes, weekend’s bedtimes are one o’clock. Why all the questions? You feel silly being babysat by Melanie. Babykins you know I don’t care if you are embarrassed because Melanie changed your nappies and put you into your teddy bear pyjamas.

Nineteen or not I have already told you that it’s pyjamas all day every day for you.

Because you are better behaved when you are wearing your jim-jams that’s why. Well I am sorry but mummy has decided.

Off course I meant it when I said I would take you out in your pushchair. Mummy doesn’t make idle threats does she? No that’s right.

What could be nicer than a trip to the park with your sister and Melanie where you can feed the quack-quacks from your pushchair?

Well you will have your blankies over your knees, yes the ones with the bunnies on, but I suppose everyone will be able to see you are wearing baby pyjamas.

I know! You could wear your pink bunny rabbit pyjamas, that would be fun wouldn’t it?

Don’t shake your head at mummy Babykins. You know how much that annoys me.  
Ah girls, come in. Your brother is getting excited about a trip to the park; he wants to go and feed the ducks.
Tomorrow? I suppose we could go then as long as it’s dry. Tomorrow it is then.

Oh dear baby is getting too agitated, who wants to feed him his din-dins so we can put him back down to sleep?
Melanie, ok. Then he can snuggle down for a good long sleep while the rest of you continue with your party.
Your sister will fasten your bib on. Yes you must wear a bib or you will make a mess on your clean pyjamas. Mummy doesn’t want to have to spank you and change your pyjamas again does she? No she doesn’t.
That’s it Melanie, put the bowl right up to his chin. Come along Babykins, yum-yum, you know you love rice pudding. Here comes the choo- choo train, Open wide for Melanie.
Good baby, eat it all up now. It doesn’t matter if it’s cold, do you want a smacked bottom again? I thought not, now eat up!

There, all gone. Clever Babykins. Take his bib off now, just wipe his face clean with it Melanie, yes it is just like having a real baby, although this ones nineteen!

Right snuggle down, yes you can. Clever baby. Tuck the blankets in nice and tight Melanie, don’t forget to tuck teddy in as well. Excellent. Where is his dum-dum?

There, yes he needs his dummy to help him fall asleep. Now, just lie there and think about your trip to the park. Mummy is going to iron your pink bunny rabbit pyjamas right now so you can wear them to the park tomorrow. You will look cute, I bet everyone will  want to look at you. Ha-ha, you probably didn't want to hear that did you Babykins?

Why Babykins, your face looks like the frightened little bunny rabbits on your jim-jams. Ha-ha!

Girls, stop giggling and say night-night to  our nineteen year old baby. See you in the morning Babykins, sweet dreams!

Part Three

Babykins I wish you would stop fidgeting. Sit still while mummy feeds you your breakfast. What do you mean you don’t like stewed prunes and custard?

Yes I know your sister and I are having bacon and eggs but that is grown up food. Ha-Ha. Of course you aren’t a grown up too.. How could you be? Sitting in your high chair wearing only a nappy, pink plastic baby pants and a toweling bib.

Well nineteen doesn’t mean grown up for you! Now come along just two more spoonfuls. Good Babykins, mummy will just wipe your face clean with your bib and we will get you ready for your outing. No, I already told you mummy wasn’t joking. We are going to meet Melanie and her mummy in the park then we are going to their house for din-dins. By then you will be ready for your nap.

Stop squirming Babykins, you can’t get out of your highchair no matter how you struggle. Now lets get you ready. Yes of course you are going to wear your pink bunny rabbit pyjamas; mummy has ironed them especially for today. Lisa, stop calling your brother a cry baby and pass me his jim-jams. Upsa-daisy Babykins, out you come.

Hold still while mummy buttons your pyjama jacket up, there, feel how soft your jim-jams are against your skin, they will keep you nice and cosy won’t they my precious?

Stop fussing with the sleeves Babykins. Yes I know they are too long, I made them like that so you could grow into them. Maybe other nineteen year old's don't have to wear silly pyjamas as you put it  but their mummy’s don’t have a nineteen year old who behaves like a baby and needs to be spanked for misbehaviour! Now be quiet while mummy puts you into your pyjama bottoms or you will be going over my knee!

That’s it, left leg first, come along you have been put into jim-jams often enough to know how to behave. Try the other foot now Babykins. At last. You are a naughty Babykins. Mummy was just about to spank you for being silly.

Hands off! Mummy will pull them up. What a lucky baby you are being allowed to wear such pretty jim-jams. Yes mummy will tuck the jacket inside the waistband of the pyjama bottoms. Why? Because mummy likes you to look ever so sweet and babyish that’s why. I think mummy deserves a hug and a thank you for making her little Babykins look so smart in his pink bunny rabbit winceyette pyjamas.

That wasn’t a very enthusiastic hug was it?  If you don't start being more affectionate to mummy she might think about returning Babykins to his nursery full time again. Do you want to go back into nappies and spend the day being pushed around in your pram? I thought not.  Now thank me for letting you  wear those gorgeous jimmy-jams in your sweetest, lisping girly voice, come along. Yes that was much better, you had better keep that up or else. Now then let's get you ready for your outing.

Lisa, have you got baby’s pushchair ready?
Good girl. See how well behaved and sensible your sister. Why can’t you be like that? I beg your pardon Babykins. Because she doesn’t act like a baby, that’s why she doesn’t have a bed time or have to wear babyish pyjamas and take lots of naps. Well if you think you look silly you only have yourself to blame but we think you look really sweet in your bunny rabbit jim-jams.

Now, in you get and I will put you into your slippers and mittens. Oh yes you are wearing them Babykins; I am not having you catch a chill. These lovely slippers will keep your tootsies cosy and warm. Yes they do look like the bunnies on your pyjamas, mummy knows how to make Babykins look his best.

Now for your handie-pandies, yes more bunnies. Your sister embroidered them just for today.

Babykins!

Apologise at once. That’s it; a big kiss for your younger sister, you should be ashamed of yourself after all her hard work to make you those lovely mittens.

There, Babykins hands and feet will be lovely and toasty warm.

No Lisa there is no need to strap him in. Somehow I don’t think your brother will be running away dressed in his lovely pink bunny rabbit jim-jams with his matching mittens and slippers. Just tuck his blanket around him, that’s it.

No, teddy isn’t coming with us today; I thought Mr Flopsy would be better since Melanie’s mummy gave him to you. Besides Mr Flopsy will complete your bunny theme; yes Mr Flopsy has to come with us so none of your tantrums.

Now, mummy will pull up the plastic cover, so if you sit quietly no one will take any notice of you sitting in your pushchair. All any one will see is a sweet Babykins out with mummy and his big sister. All ready?

Well I can’t see what you have to cry about, I should have thought you would be excited to go and feed the quack-quacks with Melanie and her mummy. Now stop crying or mummy will make your bedtime even earlier. Goodness I know what they meant when they said nineteen was an awkward age for boys!

That’s better. Off we go.                                                                                                                                                                                              

Look Babykins there is Melanie and her mummy waiting for us. Let me just move the rain cover. It’s no good Babykins we can all see you. Say hello to Melanie’s mummy Babykins, don’t mumble, say hello to Aunty properly like a good boy. That’s better.

Yes they are adorable aren’t they?  I don’t think Babykins likes his bunny rabbit pyjamas too much but his mummy does and that’s the main thing. Isn’t that right my pet lamb. Cat got your tongue Babykins?

Now then, why don’t we get you out of your pushchair so you can feed the quack-quacks? Yes, people may well see you in your jim-jams but if you don’t get out of that pushchair this minute people will see mummy put you over her knee and you will still be wearing your pyjamas. I thought that would make you change your mind. Take your bag of breadcrumbs and walk to the edge. Careful now. Melanie, take his hand thank you. We don’t want Babykins falling in now do we?

Well they won’t come if you don’t call to them pet lamb. Why don’t you pretend you are a duck?

Quack-Quack. Louder Babykins. Here they come, throw the breadcrumbs Babykins. Clever boy.

His slippers? Yes they are cute aren’t they; yes Melanie gave me the idea, yes she understands Babykins needs so very well.
What's that? Yes a walk around the pond seems a splendid idea.

Did you enjoy feeding the ducks Babykins? No? I can’t imagine why not. There’s no pleasing you sometimes Babykins.

Come along and take mummy's hand, we are off for a stroll.

Don’t be so naughty. Yes you will walk, because mummy says so that’s why.  Right Babykins I warned you, over to that park bench.

Stop struggling; you are only drawing attention to yourself. You are lucky I am not taking down your jim-jams and nappy and giving you a bare bottom spanking.

Spank! Naughty Babykins will walk in the park in his bunny rabbit jim-jams if mummy says so!

Spank! Babykins does not answer mummy back!

Spank! Babykins will learn that mummy makes all his decisions even if he is nineteen!

Spank! Mummy is going to make an example of you once and for all!

Up you get onto the park bench. Yes stand up there. Stop crying and do as you are told. Yes, no doubt you do feel foolish standing up there in your bunny slippers and pyjamas but mummy hasn’t started yet. Stand still and listen, no don’t you dare get down.

Now Babykins you are going to perform the teapot song all the way through with all the actions. Never mind you won’t. You will, or I will send you to the nursery school for a whole week dressed in your jim-jams, oh believe me I would.

Come along the sooner you start the quicker you can get down.

One, two, three.

I’m a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle here is my spout  Hand on your hip Babykins
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out!      Lean over, arm like a spout Babykins

I’m a clever teapot, yes it’s true
Here’s an example of what I can do
I can change my handle to my spout  Switch arms Babykins
Just tip me over and pour me out.

Well done Babykins! You have never performed it better and luckily Melanie's mummy caught it all on her mobile so we can enjoy it all over again. Down you come and mummy will put your mittens back on. No you can’t go back into your pushchair, you need some exercise.

That’s it hold tight to mummy and Melanie and we will walk all the way back to their house. Oh very well, hold still while I button you into Lisa’s cardigan, although I can’t see the difference between pink winceyette bunny rabbit pyjamas and a pink lambs wool cardigan.

Here we are, in you go. Are you tired after your walk Babykins? Of course you are.

We have a surprise for you Babykins, Melanie is going to take you for a lovely warm bath and get you all ready for bye-byes. Oh yes she is. She will bathe you, dress you in some clean jim-jams and put you to bed. Yes that’s right you are going to spend the night here. What’s the matter Babykins? Don’t you want to spend time with your ex-girlfriend? Well you will have to get used to it Melanie is coming to live with us to be your full time nanny, what a lucky Babykins you are!
