So we'll be out until at least 10:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734558 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:03:19 +0000 Grace 1734558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: I always forget that it gets dark early farther south. Here, fireworks don't start until 10 at the earliest. It's just not dark enough before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734556 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:02:40 +0000 birdofafeather 1734556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're gonna bring her pjs and a carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734502 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:25:35 +0000 autumnlove 1734502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wing it but we might do an early bath before we head out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734499 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:24:34 +0000 Bookish 1734499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're gonna wing it, if we go. We'll keep her up and bring her carrier and stroller, so that if she wants to fall asleep, she can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734438 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 13:56:17 +0000 Pancakes 1734438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ustechie: if he falls asleep around 9, then I would think most fireworks shows wouldn't last too long past 9:30, so maybe that wouldn't be a huge deal, if you don't have to drive too far. LO loved seeing them last year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734376 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 13:35:41 +0000 ustechie 1734376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: he usually falls asleep around 9. He usually does well with little changes in routine, but he's never stayed up late on purpose. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734312 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 13:09:29 +0000 Weagle 1734312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're just going to do it however it works. LO (2) is flexible, so that makes it easy. Mostly, we would rather just go all out with the out of whack schedule than stress ourselves trying to adjust it all perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734292 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 13:00:31 +0000 Pancakes 1734292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO turned 2 last March (2013) and since we went into the city for fireworks, we just let her stay up. Thankfully she had gotten a great/late nap that afternoon which helped, but she was fine. If your child doesn't do as well with changes in routine, I would probably just skip fireworks all together. What time does he usually go to bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-adjust-bedtime-routine-for-fireworks#post-1734252 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:47:03 +0000 ustechie 1734252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you that are taking your LOs to see fireworks, how are you changing/adjusting their bedtime routine? We usually have dinner, bath, brush teeth/floss, books, bed. I'm wondering how we should change it up so it's not too messed up. Our son turned 2 in March and isn't a great sleeper to begin with! </p>
