DH"s brother played baseball at FSU and the ACC tourney was held at the Durham Bulls stadium. </p> <p>As for awake time, I think all the activity will keep her entertained. I'd also bring extra food and milk as well as some favorite toys. Sounds like a very fun night!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816967 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:53:59 +0000 winniebee 816967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say all the activitiy will keep her happy. T can really stretch his awake times when we are out and about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816960 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:51:55 +0000 littlebittyhouse 816960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a late afternoon/early evening nap usually helps and then the second wind happens and we're usually good for awhile. </p> <p>good plan about the PJs. i usually bring a bottle too because overtired usually means i need to nurse or feed to avoid complete meltdown status. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816949 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:47:12 +0000 regberadaisy 816949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, bring lots of snacks! As long as there are puffs &amp; melts all is right in M's world. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816945 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:46:01 +0000 heffalump 816945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo stays up easily if there is a lot going on around her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816943 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:45:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 816943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just usually go for it. Typically the entertainment and excitement will keep her up but then she crashes when we get in the car. </p> <p>Do be prepared for the possible melt down though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816941 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:44:34 +0000 Weagle 816941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we have to be out late, we attempt a late nap/afternoon catnap and we count on activity keeping her up. LO is very extroverted, so she tends to do really well being up past bedtime when there's a lot going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816932 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:36:22 +0000 regberadaisy 816932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She might! Also a later nap? Is that possible or is it a work day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-816926 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:33:59 +0000 Rubies 816926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your plan sounds like something I would do if I had to keep LO up! I would hope and count on LO falling asleep in the car but not at the event. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-keeping-a-lo-up-past-their-bedtime#post-814778 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:30:00 +0000 mediagirl 814778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are sticklers for M's bedtime but, something is coming up in June that we would like to go to as a family. My company is having an outing to the Durham Bulls. They get one of the air conditioned suites with food and beer and it's a really good time. The game starts at 5 and the stadium is about 40 minutes from home. M's bedtime is 7pm at the very latest. </p> <p>Any tips for how we should handle keeping her up a little later than normal? Should we expect she will stay up later anyways because of all of the activity going on around her? </p> <p>I plan on bringing her pj's and putting her into those before we leave so when she falls asleep in the car on the way home, we can just transfer her to her crib when we get home. </p>
