Hi everyone. Just wanted to brag my son undressed himself last night and he also dressed himself this morning. YEA!!!!! I was so proud. My older son came to see what all the fuss was this morning and when I told him he joined in. We are so proud. Is seems like we have been working on that forever. Brayden has always been that way ever since he was a baby. We would work on it forever and then just out of the blue he would do it. YEA! Sorry just needed to share!

Brayden is 2 1/2 well he will be 3 in April. Now we have to keep practicing. But still YEA!

This is great news! My 3.5 year old still will not undress/dress himself. ALthough, I did see him take his socks off all by himself the other night.

This is a big event in an obpi child's life... enjoy it.

I am sure that most parents here know that the injured arm goes into shirts, jackets etc first and comes out last.
I just thought I would remind everyone because there are so many new folks.

I have a friend who hurt her shoulder and was struggling to put on her jacket she was hurting herself.
She was really annoying me because she could not figure it out... LOL...
I had to show her how put on her Bra, coat etc.
To me it was such a simple logical easy thing to do.
We ended up giggling because she said she would never have thought to put the injured shoulder in first or to shampoo her head using one hand... LOL...
She was hurting herself trying to preform the simple life functions that OBPI manage one handed and/or via creative compensation skills... LOL..
