Mom Confessions
My DD started putting forth a good effort around the time that she was two. She was very independent and would insist on doing it by herself.
My DS is 2 and 5 mos and is just beginning to assert his independence and try it himself. Moreso than getting dressed, he wants to undress. DD was the opposite and wanted to dress herself before she attempted to learn to undress herself.
I'm just looking for an average age range and of the child attempted to dress or undress him/herself first.

she was putting on shoes before getting dressed. She started to undress herself and partially dress herself at around 2 1/2 but by 3 and even now at 3 1/2 she can undress and dress pretty much on her own. she has a hard time sometimes with the tops but it depends on the top. she is very independant and hardly wants me to help her.

DS is 3.5 and he is just now starting to want to. He can undress himself with no problems but he has not quite mastered dressing himself.
He can put a shirt on but not pants, he can sort of put socks on, he can put shoes on. He can put his coat on but still has trouble pulling his underwear and pants up.
