But that's usually only when we're traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35765 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 10:21:14 +0000 Rosie Girl 35765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do. But he is almost 4, so that is a little different! I've always been a little flexible though, and have never had a problem pushing them around a little, like within an hour when he was little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35739 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 09:17:14 +0000 Rubies 35739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is still so young. I can move her naps around a bit but bedtime? Forget it. I'm strict with her bed time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35736 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 08:58:29 +0000 chopsuey 35736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. If we're out of state for events then yes. Usually I won't commit to anything that's past 6pm (when we start LO's bedtime routine). When my parents were here for thanksgiving I let my LO stay up a little past her bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35727 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 07:45:32 +0000 heffalump 35727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, but my lo is still very young. If we do want to go out a tiny bit later, we'll just have her sleep in her stroller. If we're smart, we bring her night time diaper and pjs and then she won't even have to wake up when we put her to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35724 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:46:16 +0000 SAHM0811 35724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're laid-back about it. Our DD is pretty resilient when it comes to sleep. She adjusts fairly easily to time changes, late bedtimes, etc... She's always been a bit of a night owl compared to her peers.... She takes after my hubby and I! It works for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35722 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:24:18 +0000 Andrea 35722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a stickler. I am willing to move around her nap but have never done so for her bedtime. She goes to bed before 7 so I can't push her bedtime very far back for night time events as I'm sure she'll just be too exhausted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35689 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:12:04 +0000 Boogs 35689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do let him push back bedtime occasionally, but it's not too often. Plus, he has a later bedtime of around 9:30ish, so we dont often have a reason to be out much later than that. He's also so used to having his bath and going to bed by a certain time that he doesn't really even enjoy himself if he's staying up late. We will be out for New Years, so I hope that goes well at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-take-your-lo-out-to-evening-events-do-you-keep-them-up-past-their-bedtime#post-35688 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:05:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 35688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always been pretty strict with Charlie's schedule. He's usually asleep by 7:30 every night. As he gets older, he can stay awake an extra hour or two without getting too tired. </p> <p>I went to a Christmas party tonight, but didn't bring Charlie since it went on past his bedtime. All of my friends' kids have bedtimes that are much later than Charlie's, and they all brought their kids. </p> <p>But am I too much of a stickler? Do you let your LO miss naps and bedtime when attending events? </p>
