Adventures of Baby Drew

I have been an ABDL all my life. I am open about wearing and love being babied by others. 2002 or 2003 can't remember at moment I was working for Sears and injured my back so I had to wear diapers off and on anyways due to partial bladder incontinence. I had just finished my PhD in Divinty (non accredited seminary) even though I previously have a BA in Pastoral Counseling and am licensed and ordained as a minister. I have worked in Social Services as a case manager, Social Worker, and counseling attributed to bypassing the MSW route and went through the Pastoral route. However, due to returning to school for Theatre and Film Studies as I was beginning to work in film I had to take the University of Utah's General Education requirements which I wasn't able to test out of, especially since I toyed with idea of getting my MSW; So I had to take Sociology and Psychology 101 again, which was fine, however I would have fun in my Sociology Class and dared to be different and for my project do one which was unique. I for whatever reason am not ashamed of being babied and diapered it has afforded my unique experiences in my life growing up, as it was something that i embraced, treated as normal, and interactions I had were different than others because it served as identity verses fetish, and wasn't anyway an act of aggression toward others or children. Friends treated it normal and open even among family. It also allowed me to see that people only have problems with things when one tries to hide things or are uncomfortable in their own skin, and that uncomfort makes others react the same way especially if you are unable to articulate why. I had three negative experiences during the course of the project but nothing huge. Overall successful, I did get to explain short explanation if people pushed that it was a Sociology experiment. Received an A on the assignment. The end, it allowed me to talk and educate on what is the ABDL umbrella, how it wasn't anyway related to pedophilia, and the differences between infantilism (which I fall under)and the spectrum including the fetish side. Below is the Journal for the assignment, will post paper if and when I find it. Adventures of Baby Drew Part 1 8-25-07 The Adventures is a series of days in the life of Baby Drew a freshman at the University of Utah who is doing Sociology project of experiencing and evaluating reactions of people by doing something that is not considered the norm in Salt Lake County Society. This will be a record on the places and the people he comes in contact with armed with just a diaper, t-shirt, pacifier and bottle. Some days he may have a friend taking pictures other days he may be alone.

Walmart

Baby Drew went to Walmart to purchase a few thinks to use for his project, wearing only white tennis shoes as well as a diaper with Elmo tape, a blue shirt and bottle. He goes into Wal-Mart to buy some pacifiers a transformer shirt and a blankie with the thought that they would not let him in. The reactions he got were ok; some laughed to themselves, others laughed out loud, some turned their heads away to try avoid looking, while others looked with a disgusted face. While standing in line some asked if they could take pictures on their cell phones and as he came up to cashier she could not keep from laughing and just laughed uncontrollably.

Valley Fair Mall

After Wal-Mart Baby Drew went to the Valley Fair Mall, as he arrived and started walking to the food court he received comments like that F’in sick, hell that s gross man. Baby Drew then proceeded through the food court and bought some lunch, the girl at the counter about 19 or 20 years old thought Baby Drew was sexy. By this time unlike Wal-Mart he had on the transformer shirt, and was carrying his blankie. Again you had people just stare and others whispering comments to each other. Again people were coming up taking pictures. Baby Drew bought some lotion form Bath and Body Works. He then proceeded into another store where a girl called security with out saying anything to him because she was offended that a guy was in a diaper. Security ushered Baby Drew out of the Mall because they said you had to be fully clothed.

South Towne Mall

Baby Drew after being escorted out of Valley Fair Mall went to South Towne Mall there he found the people to be very favorable. Baby Drew was again in his new transformer shirt, of course diaper and had his blankie, pacifier, and bottle. He had people laugh, think it was cute, wanted pictures of Baby Drew and them, think it was some kind of initiation, ask if it was a school project and all. Baby Drew had opportunities to explain that this was a sociology assignment to those who asked. Baby Drew also went to the toy store and looked at games and a teddy bear. He also went shopping bought some shoes at payless where the cashier pretended not to notice. Bought a pink shirt at Express where the cashier thought it was great and that he needed to go to college to have assignments like this. And Baby Drew did not get kicked out.

Maverick

After Baby Drew Left for his joyous adventure he stopped at Maverick to get some more juice and to get gas. Baby Drew even pumped the gas. Baby Drew got weird lucks while in line to pay however one person said he was crazy.

Gateway Shopping Center

Next Baby Drew continued onto the Gateway Mall to do some more shopping here he was greeted with smile and perplexed looks. Baby Drew walked up to the Train Depot where he was stopped by a security guard and asked what was going on while he called for another security guard. Here they had a discussion if it was appropriated for baby Drew to be wearing just a diaper in public finally they agreed that Baby Drew was clothed so it was ok. So Baby Drew then went to Barnes and Nobles and tried reading some children’s books while the store employees looked on wondering what’s going on and why is a guy in a diaper until one asked and we told her it was for sociology class. Many people took pictures with their phones, while others wanted to pose with baby drew. Others made comments how brave Baby Drew was and that he had balls, while others though laughed, thought it was great and others gave disgusting looks. The head security asked us to leave after being there for almost an hour until I came back wearing pants. At least he did not escort us out. I think it was because a friend was taking pictures.

Smiths

Finally last stop was Smiths, Baby Drew needed to get some Pepsi. He had a bunch of people look and laugh, no one made any rude comment and the cashier said this was nothing compared to what she has seen.

Home

After being gone for 5 hours 5pm to 10pm Baby Drew is tired. Baby Drew goes home and climbs into bed with his blankie and falls asleep.

My thoughts and feelings of the day. I definitely received a wide variety of expressions and emotions. I received both negative and positive comments. However it is interesting I got kicked out of the Valley Fair Mall and asked to leave from the Gateway mall and not Wal-mart I was thinking if anything I would not be allowed into wal-mart. It was very interesting to see the diverse reactions from different age groups with the teenagers and college age students majority positive, a lot of laughing, a lot of pictures taken, and comments being made. Did have a couple of negative comments. With the older crowds they either were laughing or pretending I wasn’t there some had disgusted looks on their face but majority smiled. It was a diverse reaction from different malls and stores it would be interesting to see the reactions of people in other social aspects such as theatres, school, restraints, the bus, and trax, and many others. So the Adventures of Baby Drew to be continued.

University of Utah 8-27-07

Today Baby Drew adventures to the University of Utah to his Monday Classes. On His way to school he rode the bus and the reactions were priceless. Baby Drew pretended nothing was out of the ordinary however the bus driver had a shocked look on his face will others laughed and one woman thought she was going to piss her pants. Baby Drew was asked why he was dressed this way and he stated that it was for a Sociology Class to observe and evaluate peoples reactions of doing something out of the social norm of society.

While waiting for trax not to many showed any notice of Baby Drew accept the drivers passing by just staring. On the Trax heading up to the U on lady asked if she was suppose to tickle Baby Drew because of the Elmo on his diaper. Baby Drew said I hope not.

Baby Drew hears people making comments to one another around school before he heads to class like he is probably making a statement (hmmmm. what statement could could Baby Drew make, diapers are cool, or that the world is safer as a child. lol please.) Maybe its a dare or an initiation of some kind are other comments make as well as it probably for a class, beside that they comment on how crazy baby drew is, how cute he is
