    Dd1 from about 3, dd2 before she was 2! Dd2 is very stubborn and I have now had to take her shopping to get her clothes because if sh takes objection to something she won't even try it on - ever!

    My boytwin doesn't care what he wears but he gets no choice but to choose his own clothes, I have enough to do without picking outfits for him lol! All my kids have been expected to find clothes and dress themselves since about 3, and apart from boytwin they have all relished this task. Especially girltwin and DS2 who have very distinct senses of style.

    DD certainly doesn't dress herself, but there have been recent occasions where a favourite Tshirt has been left out from the day before and if it is not put on her the next day she cracks it! She is currently very reluctant to wear jacket tops (she takes them off) as she wants to see the Tshirt underneath. As a result she has arrived at childcare numerous times in just a Tshirt and pants even though its cold as she won't keep her hoodies on.

    Lol, seems like boys are a tad easier in that department! My DS who is 31 months, does not care at all what I dress him in but when I say bring your top/pants/shoes it's cute to watch him bring clothes and shoes that totally don't match at all, so mummy goes back and picks what she likes, lol.

    Tee heee - based on what you've said definitely glad he doesn't care so I don't have to have any additional battles ona day care morning but glad to see he isn't the only one who doesn't give a rats! Funny how different the little munchkins can be!

    Nai my dd is the same as your dd2. I seriously don't buy her clothes unless she is the and agrees that she will wear it as she is so stubborn when it comes to clothes. She started choosing her own outfit just before she was 2!
