Shirt, underwear, pants, socks and shoes.  &#8220;I did it all by my big girl self.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p \/>When in a hyped up, overexcited mood, she still has a tendency to refuse to help get herself dress, squirming around and &#8216;playing&#8217; instead of cooperating with dressings.  Mommy is overheard using many threats:  no princess videos, etc..  However, Austen seems to be, for the most part, over the fighting and kicking stage when getting dressed.  Of course, all bets are off if she&#8217;s overly tired; in which case she&#8217;ll fight you over ANYTHING because her rebellious, independent side goes haywire.<\/p>\n<p \/>Mommy and Dada love the way Austen appreciates her own appearance now &#8212; not in a vain sense but in a &#8220;I want to do it&#8221; sense.  Just yesterday she checked out her new hat the mirror at a coffee shop and seemed quite taken.  The striped, pink hat became &#8220;goat ears.&#8221;  For Halloween, Austen was thrilled with her princess, flower fairy and chicken outfits.  Looking at herself in the mirror inspired her to keep the outfit on, even when it wasn&#8217;t 100% comfy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austen can dress herself head to toe and is very proud of herself when she does so.
