obviously they wouldnt be unsupervised but can a normal phycially able 3yr old climb in and out of a bath unaided?

My dd was about 20 months when I discovered that she could. I went out the bathroom to get her pyjamas and when I got back she was sitting in the bath fully clothed with jacket on and looking very puzzled as if she knew something was wrong but could not work out what.

DD is 3.10 and has been climbing in and out of the bath for a good 12months. She does attempt to dress herself but struggles. No problems in stripping off though, why do they have to streak round the house starkers when you have visitors?

Ohh and she can wipe but tends not too - very lazy little girl me thinks.

Good luck with the rest of the form misdee.

Hope christmas isn't to stressful for you.

ds1 will be 3 in a couple of weeks:

bath - has the agility but is too short!
dressing - has been completely dressing himself every morning since about 2 1/2
wiping bum - he wishes he could. He has tried, but ends up just smearing his back with poo! Never even thought to wipe his penis!

oh, and good luck with the form.
