Can you LO's dress themselves? To what extent? - Page 3

Charlie can get completely naked within 5 minutes of getting in the house

As for getting dressed, he can put his jacket on but can't do it up and he can put his hat, mits, socks and sweaters/cardigans on quite well now but it does take him a while of fiddling around - he gets there in the end though

She can completely undress. She can get tops over her head but struggles getting her arms in the right holes. She can get her legs into leggings and pull them up but often ends up with both legs in one. She has no chance with dresses

Aliyah will pull the top off her head lol.
All she does atm is hold her legs out for me if she sees jeans etc or arms out for cardigans iykwim?

My 22 month old can completely dress herself, including socks and shoes. On the other hand, my son couldn't fully dress himself until 3 and socks and shoes were closer to 4.

Kelana can take her socks off. LOL...she helps put her clothes on...will lift up each leg for her pants etc. Puts her arms in her coat. Will get her shoes and sit down at the front door with them.

no, she can't dress or undress yet. She can only take her socks off. She tried taking her cardigan off once but then couldn't do it, got frustrated and shouted 'STUCK!! HELP!'

His childminder taught him how to put his coat on - it's amazing. He puts it down on the floor and stands above the hood, puts his arms in then flips it over his back! I don't expect he'll do that forever but it's a good start!

As I read you post, I remembered doing this as a kid!! I think I'll teach my LO to do this.

My LO can pull her pants up and down to use the toilet. But she can't dress herself. SHe put a tutu on the other day. So, I guess she's learning.

Lachlan can take off, say, his socks and his jacket/warm top but can't take his pants off and doesn't pull them down (not that I've taught him anyway, but I suppose I should).

He puts on hats and tries to put his shoes on, but that's not too tricky.
