Emmy has learned to "dress" herself.

Posted by jenegie On 11:43 PM

Living in the world of "special needs" we quickly learn about the various milestones.  We are constantly surveying the skills that our kids are learning or need to learn.  When a skill is mastered we breath a sigh of relief and move on to the next thing.  

One of the skills to accomplish is getting dressed.

It requires a lot of fine and gross motor abilities and because these are Emmy's weakest areas, I haven't thought much about the idea of self-dressing.  

Until this week.  

I had several days off, so I was naturally been doing laundry.  CLEAN laundry was everywhere.  Emmy was having fun.  Pulling various pieces of clothing out of piles of unfolded and stacks of folded clothes.  Somewhere in the midst of the heaps of laundry that she was playing with, she decided to start "dressing" herself.

Ok, no laughing...she is feeling very proud of herself.  She diligently finds our underwear and drapes them around her neck.   The whole process is is hilarious.  Did I mention that the underwear are clean?  She has even started doing this with her own underwear.  She will happily walk around the house, doing her business, with my panties draped like a scarf.  

Should I be worried?
