There are 5, Milly. I have a hand in caring for all, but with baby brother born in 1973, I'm like second mom to him.

Between changing his diapers, bathing him, reading bedtime stories to him, and spending my babysitting money on him treating him to ice cream from the Dairy Queen and trips to the corner store for penny candy, he's spoiled like no other.

 

[Madge Bumstead]

Mom and I just got back from shopping and mom bought baby brother some new rubber pants!

Anyone else have baby siblings in diapers?

 

[Milly Robertson]

I can't remember.

Saving my money to buy a car.
