Every time I turn around she's thrown off the shackles we in the civilized world would call "clothing". I blame the cheap Walmart shirts that are so comfy and slip on and off with ease. What I need are more dresses that button up the back and are impossible to get off without help but I have to sew those myself.

It's January in Colorado and though we're going to be a balmy 40 something degrees today, most of the time it's below freezing. Running around in her skivvies is NOT an option. :eek:

Okay, that's all.

:rolleyes: Oh, those are sweet memories for me. I had a nakie guy. Too sweet & a little funny to those with older kids. (Sorry;)) My Houdini found Oshkosh hard to escape.:D

If I were a toddler, that would probably be me! ;)

my daughter can't get off the long sleeve shirts with buttons on the back ;-)

Take a picture, it doesn't last long enough, lol. before you know it, you won't be able to pry the week old favorite shirt off of her to wash!

I can SO relate! Our youngest is forever stripping down, even pajamas and diaper in bed. We ended up taping down the diaper tabs with wide tape, and now that it is winter and she is sleeping in those footed fleece sleepers, pinning the zipper up with a diaper pin so she cannot undo it.

I can relate too. When my dd was little every time she got mad off the clothes would come! Funny now that she has out grown it, oh but how it used to torment me. :rolleyes:

lol. I had the same trouble with ds. Oshkosh worked for me I also used thick tights because he wouldn't keep his socks on and at that time we lived in an ancient house with wood heat and bare wood floors. I still can't keep shoes on them.:)

This thread is too funny. My Mom asked me today if my children ever wore clothes... LOL! DD (in the pic above) is currently running around wearing her underwear with her tennis shoes. DS#2 is doing a bit better with pants and a shirt.

What's funny, though, is that my Mom said she had the hardest time keeping me dressed as a toddler as well.

Overalls are also useful. Not only are they unable to undo the hooks but you can pick them up by the straps when necessary. I feel your pain, I have a stripper too.

I remember Naked Toddler on the Loose! Our dd once stripped in front of the pastor's wife. Luckily, she has three kids of her own, so it was old hat to her. ;)
If it's any consolation, I've never heard of a kid dying of frostbite from running around in a diaper (or less). Good luck!

My youngest still runs around in her underwear. She is 5 now, so we will see if this continues in the summer. She has sensory issues. One of those issues is heat. It drives her to distraction if she gets too hot, so off come the clothes. It used to bother me alot but now I just let her go to it. I figured if she was cold enough she would put on warmer clothes. I was right. It is -20 degrees Celsius here and she is wearing a sleeveless summer dress, but she is clothed.

So funny and so true!
