Andrew and I have been working on getting dressed. Andrew gets dressed in the morning after breakfast. I've been trying to encourage Andrew to choose his own outfits. He just doesn't seem to care which pants or shirts that wears. Now socks...socks are a different issue. Andrew has to pick out his socks. This means that sometimes his socks don't match at all. I am surprised how often the socks actually do match.
Andrew has also started to be able to do simple dressing tasks such as pulling up his pants, taking off his shirt or jacket, or taking off his socks. A few days ago Andrew attempted to do something he's never done before. He tried to put on a T-Shirt by himself. The following pictures document his efforts.
 |
| Which hole do I want? |
 |
| One arm in! |
 |
| Two arms in! |
 |
| Head...almost in. |
 |
| Maybe it's a hat? |
 |
| I don't think this is working. |
Once Andrew reached the point where the shirt covered his face he stopped trying. He loves to have blankets, shirts, or other cloth items cover his head and then walk around. So he spent the next 10 minutes walking around the house with the shirt over his face.
We did eventually put the shirt all the way on.
