I usually put the top on her and she puts her arms through. Sometimes it's faster if I help her along </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2334174 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:19:57 +0000 Golden 2334174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 3 and dresses herself. Usually in a dress or booty shorts, so we go through the cycle a few times before we agree on something appropriate for the weather/activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2334166 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:14:06 +0000 pregnantbee 2334166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 3.5 LO can almost fully dress himself - shirt, underwear, pants, hoodie, sometimes socks, shoes. I don't really understand, though, because sometimes he'll pretend like he doesn't know how to do it and then asks me to do it for him. Socks are still the hardest, and he doesn't do buttons (we barely ever dress him in anything that needs to be buttoned). Zippers are hit or miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2334162 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:11:25 +0000 kodybear 2334162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my almost 3 year old is dressing herself. not by my choice! it takes so much longer to get dressed but she insists on doing everything herself. The only thing she needs help with is taking off shirts. but other than that she does it herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2334152 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:00:46 +0000 PinkElephant 2334152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.25 year old can do her socks, underwear, pants, and certain shoes. If I get her shirt/dress over her head, she can manage the arms herself.</p> <p>Note that I said CAN. That doesn't always mean she WILL :), so I tend to give her a little extra help when we are in a hurry to get out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2334150 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:58:20 +0000 erinpye 2334150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 year old does, unless we're in a hurry. 20 month old tries :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333793 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:45:20 +0000 autumnlove 2333793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo 1 dresses herself and LO 2 can put on undies, dresses and pants but she gets tripped up by shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333792 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:45:16 +0000 Ree723 2333792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd1 (nearly 3.5) - nope. Refuses full stop 'mummy help please' or 'mummy do it'. I know I should force her to start doing it herself but most of the time we're in a hurry and I just don't have time for the battle.</p> <p>DD2 on the other hand, at just 20 months old, dresses herself nearly independently. She can put her pants, socks, and shoes on without help (correct feet 95% of the time) and only needs minimal help with guiding her hands to the arm holes once she's pulled her shirt over her head. She needs help with buttoning and getting a zipper started, but can put her jacket on and fasten it up besides that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333787 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:43:49 +0000 KT326 2333787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He knows how and can do it but I usually help him because it's faster. He is 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333772 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:35:57 +0000 Alivoo01 2333772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and can take off his pants, but can't pull them up over his diaper, especially in the back. If I hold the shirt for him, he'll know how to put his arms through, but he doesn't know how to put it over his head. He knows how to take off his shirt, but it always get stuck on his head so I have to help him there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333751 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:22:15 +0000 lamariniere 2333751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4.75 yo can dress himself but he is extremely slow about it and I usually help to speed up the process. </p> <p>My 23 mo loves to try and always insists on putting things on, but she can't do it all by herself yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333740 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:16:43 +0000 jmarionsmith 2333740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he has 4 pair of superhero pjs he likes to cycle through about 20 times a day and I refuse to constantly dress/undress him so he had to learn to do it on his own.</p> <p>It's also nice with 2 that I can throw his clothes on his bed and by the time I'm done dressing his baby sister he's dressed too. He can't do socks and shoes yet, though.</p> <p>edit: he's 3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333737 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:14:46 +0000 .twist. 2333737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L is 2.5 and can partially dress himself but struggles with other parts (getting his shirt over his head or getting the legs of his pants off). He hasn't really had much of an interest, but I like to try to help him do it himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333732 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:11:51 +0000 Mamaof2 2333732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 4.5 and within the last few months she refuses to let me dress her at all - I cant even be in the same room.....</p> <p>@kiddosc: ditto - I always prefer to do it because its faster :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333718 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:05:34 +0000 kiddosc 2333718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 3 and can dress himself. DH usually gets him ready in the morning and helps him dress himself. If I get him ready, I usually dress him because I don't have the patience to let him do it himself :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-dressing-himherself#post-2333714 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:04:13 +0000 mediagirl 2333714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is 3 and I still dress her. We don't have any other kids in the house and don't plan to so I may just be coddling her a little bit but I love that I still get her dressed every morning. :) She could, if she had to, but I really like doing it. </p>
