I can't figure out Drew's aversion to clothes. He hates getting dressed, and tries to get away with as few clothing items as possible. Generally, he walks around throughout the day without his shirt and rarely sleeps with a shirt on.
Drew is learning to dress himself (hence all the backward outfits). He wants to control the whole process from selection of the clothing to putting it on.
When he selects a shirt, it has to be short sleeves. When we go out, he rolls up his jacket and coat sleeves, no matter how cold it is outside. He tries to wear shorts as often as possible, too. Pants are too constricting, apparently. Heaven forbid any cloth touch his skin!
Oh, and his selection rarely includes underwear. TMI? Sorry.

Kids are so weird about clothes, very funny though.
That's so funny... we think we can control at least what our kids wear... my sister struggles with my 3 year old niece too, but she just always wants to wear pink dresses or shirts with kitties on them.
Ashlyn thinks everytime we have soup, cold cereal or anything messy, she needs to strip down to her diaper. Forget the bib and just get naked is what she likes.
I love how they try to exercise their will how ever possible! Clothes is a fun one. Cyprus keeps removing her pants. She just would rather not wear them! Ok, whatever. Your kids are soooo cute. We need to hang out some day.
Since Drew is so sensitive in general, maybe he is sensitive to textures. Do you think it's the feel of the cloth against his skin?
