Erickson's stages

A young child awakes one morning and decides to pick out her own clothing. She is excited at the prospect of doing this independently without her mother's help. She chooses her favorite plaid pants, one red sock, one purple sock and a turtleneck sweater (even though it is August). When she proudly comes downstairs to show her mother, her mother scowls at her. Her mother insists that they go back upstairs immediately so that the mother can pick out a more suitable outfit. In which of Erickson's stages might the young child be?
