Yeah, you can wait until he's 4!
We just came out of that phase and it was tough for a while, especially since ds really needed a lot of help as well. I never "made' her do things but always helped if she wanted it. She still often wants me to dress her, which she has been capable of doing herself since she was 2.
Try playing games, like races. One thing I did was say, "You can't put your shoes on yourself, can you? If you do that I will be so shocked I will fall on my bum!!!"
Of course she knows its a game and loves it. Works almost every time!
