Pyjama bottoms
One leg at a time sounds simple, but it means standing steady while your hand aims for a trouser leg dangling in mid air. The steps below break the task down, so the child knows where to sit, hold and pull.
Pyjama bottoms
Light blue pyjama trousers patterned with moons and stars and a drawstring waist.
About this visual support
Balance decides how pyjama bottoms go. The child has to stand still, lift one foot, aim for a trouser leg that swings, and hold the waistband open with both hands at the same time. If the balance wobbles, the order goes with it, and everything restarts from the floor.
That is why it pays to let the visual support start seated: sit on the edge of the bed, feed in one foot, then the other, stand up and pull. The sequence removes the balance demand entirely, and with the steps in pictures nobody has to read the child's face to work out where things stalled.
The elastic deserves a step of its own. Too tight and the waist itches all night, too loose and the bottoms slide down the moment the child turns over. Let the child slide one finger inside the waistband as a check before moving on, so the fit becomes something they can feel rather than something an adult decides. In the Routined app the evening change can sit as its own picture sequence.
