I am more worried about him sleeping an hour on the way home (right around his bedtime) and then not wanting to go down when we get home. Perhaps we'll leave early if the game is heavily favoring one team or another. Go Seahawks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1393038 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 02:19:11 +0000 Kimberlybee 1393038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to a Super Bowl party tomorrow and also bringing LO. I am usually the DD so we just leave early when we need to. She sleeps really well in her big girl car seat so I usually settle her in first, drive to a Starbucks drive through or around the neighborhood and come back to get DH to give him extra time with the friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1393019 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 01:34:38 +0000 shopaholic 1393019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having people come over to our house - that's the easiest! Especially bc I could care less about the game, but love having friends over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392953 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 23:22:14 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1392953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're having the party at our house so we can just put the kids down whenever we need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392873 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:42:44 +0000 betsyboop 1392873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is going solo to a party our kidless friends are throwing. It starts at 4:30 so while I technically could go with LO for a couple of hours, I'd have to drive home, which means no drinking. I'm using it as an opportunity to have a nice, quiet night to myself catching up on magazines and garbage TV! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392861 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:34:42 +0000 mrsjyw 1392861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're havig friends over! So easy for us! All the sbowl actvity will be in our basement so ill put ds down at his normal 7/730 bedtime!</p> <p>We have friends bringing young toddlers who I'm sure will wing it (they live nearby) or will leave early! We also have friends w three boys school aged-2 that will likely stay all game! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392858 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:32:29 +0000 dolphin 1392858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're stopping by our friends party but leaving early. I ain't messing with DDs bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392448 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 16:14:45 +0000 mrsbookworm 1392448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to have the party at our house just so we could do something :wink: That way we'll put him to be as per the usual, and get to hang out with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392408 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 15:43:35 +0000 yerpie110 1392408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to a party at a friend's place to watch and bringing LO. Luckily, they live about 5 minutes away, so when it's her bedtime around 8pm, I'll leave with her. I'll put her down and finish the game at home. DH will stay and then come home after the game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392385 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 15:13:08 +0000 cyan 1392385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I guess that's the one nice thing about crap sleep... At least I'm not messing anything up, her sleep has been so bad anyway. That's what I'm telling myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392337 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:41:12 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1392337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take a pack and play and put them to bed there then transfer to car and then bed.:) that's our plan anyway! We do this often and never have an issue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392309 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:24:07 +0000 Running Elley 1392309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to our BFF couple's house, a little over an hour away. Hopefully DS will nap on the way there and we'll just posh bedtime back (probably leave around 8ish). DD is flexible. They're 16 months and 10 weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392308 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:24:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1392308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyan: let me know how it goes. I'd be fine with putting her in a pack and play for a nap, but I'm afraid of doing it for bedtime then waking her up and putting her back to sleep at home. Her sleep is already pretty crappy right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392307 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:23:31 +0000 rattles 1392307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought DD last year when she was 8 weeks. She was still tiny enough to fall asleep in my arms or on my chest, so I excused myself to a bedroom and nursed her to sleep and then came back down to the party with her in my arms. I kind of miss that stage in retrospect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392284 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:07:12 +0000 Dandelion 1392284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is usually in bed by 730 on a school night, so DH will go watch with his parents while I stay home with the kid. If DS didn't have school the next day, we'd all go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392280 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:05:08 +0000 autumnlove 1392280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are hosting a party but we would have no issues with going to a friend's house and skipping nap time/bed times. My LOs are a little older though..2 yrs and 9 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392277 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 14:01:27 +0000 blackbird 1392277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hanging out at home while DH does super bowl with some friends. I'm not into it, anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392269 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 13:57:38 +0000 Weagle 1392269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to a friend's house and we'll let her stay up a bit later than normal. Last year we just put her down at their house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392266 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 13:53:52 +0000 cyan 1392266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are *planning* to go to a party at our good friends' house half an hour away. LO's bedtime is 6:30 or 7:00, so the plan is to do her evening routine at home, hope she gets sleepy on the drive, then put her down in a pack 'n' play in a spare room once we get to our destination. I honestly have no idea how this will actually play out, we have never tried before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392198 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 13:15:35 +0000 jetsa 1392198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having a party. Baby can sleep in his bed when it's time. Otherwise we'd take him and laying him on a bed until we were ready to leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392183 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 13:06:49 +0000 swedishfish 1392183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hanging at home with R and the dog. DH will be working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392176 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 13:01:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 1392176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: That sounds pretty perfect. I'd love to go over early then leave at the first quarter or something, getting her home close enough to bedtime, and then I can watch the half time show. But DH really doesn't want to leave part way through, which I guess I get? If we had two cars I'd just leave early but we just have the one. Oh well. I'll take a cute picture with her little football and call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392168 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 12:57:04 +0000 Bookish 1392168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're bringing ours to a party. The host is starting it early, at 3, so we'll head over at 4, stay til 6, then head home and hopefully get to watch the second half. We've never been invited to a super bowl party before, so we didn't want to pass on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392105 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 11:54:54 +0000 meganmp 1392105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're bringing them. We have friends that live about an hour away, and they have a party every year. Last year, they were little enough that they slept anywhere. This year, they go to bed around 8, and we're going to chance it, even though it's right in the middle of nap time. We'll put them down at our friend's house, and hope for the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392100 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 11:48:23 +0000 Pepper 1392100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We passed on our invite too. LO goes to bed around 7:30-8:00 and we don't care enough about the game to find a sitter. Now if our home team was in it, we would find someone to watch him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392094 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 11:44:01 +0000 bisous 1392094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We passed on the Super Bowl party we were invited to. Although our friends live 45 mins away, so it's a bit different. I don't want to miss S's bedtime on a Sunday night so I think we will just invite my parents over and keep it a little quieter than normal Super Bowl festivities! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/super-bowl-plans-with-young-babies#post-1392085 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 11:38:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 1392085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are your plans for the Super Bowl, and how are you handling it with a Lo with an early bed time? </p> <p>The game starts at 6 on the east coast, C goes to sleep between 7 and 8. Our friends that are having people over live 20-30 minutes away and we only have one car. While we could push it on her bedtime for an hour maybe beyond that we will have met down city. </p> <p>So most likely Dh is going to go watch with his friends while I stay home with the baby. Whomp whomp. I don't care about the game so much but I'm sad to miss getting together with friends. But I'm sad about missing an idealized version, not the reality of dealing with an overtired baby in an unfamiliar place. :( </p>
