Carla I laughed when I read your post. My Emma is a bit bigger than your daughter but she is moving into the naked phase. I am learning to pick my battles. If we are home and nothing is going on and she wants to have no clothes on for me there is no harm so I let her run naked. Funny story my niece who went through this phase at 3. My husband took her bowling one night for an Uncle/Niece night out. She spent most of her young life being raised by us and adores her Uncle Matt. Anyways he was driving her home to her house and she started fussing. Matt asked what was wrong and she said she was stuck. He turned the light on and she had taken her pants off and she was trying to get her shirt off but because of the car seat etc she was stuck in her shirt over her head with her arms caught. My husband nearly had a heart attack thinking my sister was going to think terrible things of him. Well he pulled over got her redressed and when he dropped her off my sister asked Rayne why her shirt was on inside out and backwards. Matt explained and Rayne looked at her mommy and said "I was just tired of wearing clothes mommy but Uncle Matt maaaaddddeee me wear them. I don't like him tonight." My sister said she could hardly hold it together. Hang in there this too shall pass but for us when Emma wakes up if she has somehow managed to sleep all night without getting out of her jammies we let her take them off until after breakfast as well as after dinner before bath time. This has decreased the streaking that was occuring when we were fighting it. Clothes can be restricting for little ones so maybe altering her wardrobe to find less restrictive clothes. Onsies are great as well as simple cotton dresses.
