I think I may try the car nap but in the opposite way. We may go out somewhere in the morning, go to a museum or something, then leave around 11:30 and hope she falls asleep in the car and transfer her to the crib. If she doesn't fall asleep, I'll just make her naptime early anyways and hope it works..... (she does transfer well) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1900413 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 11:14:27 +0000 dolphin 1900413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just hope DD naps on the way there. When I was planning DD's party I had a choice between Saturday and Sunday and the first thing DH said was, "But there is football on Sunday!!!". Haha. So ya, we booked for Saturday morning instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1900396 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 11:01:15 +0000 Mamaof2 1900396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will she sleep in the car? If yes leave at 12:45 and let her sleep until party start time at 2 - that way she gets some sort of nap instead of cutting it out all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1900394 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 10:58:53 +0000 Freckles 1900394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same problem...luckily it was a 45 minute drive. She had a 30 minute nap on the way there, and we moved her bedtime earlier that night to make up for it.</p> <p>How long is the drive over there? Has she ever skipped a nap before? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899955 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 02:17:50 +0000 lamariniere 1899955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip the nap or, put her down at 11 and wake her up at 1? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899577 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:59:36 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1899577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably skip her nap, or cut out a little early and maybe let her take a short catnap in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899564 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:45:48 +0000 autumnlove 1899564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip or put her down earlier and cut it short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899525 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:16:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1899525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would skip nap or do a car/stroller nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899509 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:02:38 +0000 birdofafeather 1899509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would try to put her down early. even if it's just quiet time in the crib, that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899429 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:04:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 1899429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just skip the nap, or put her down earlier (around noon) and go to the party a little late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899410 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:45:53 +0000 photojane 1899410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try for the early nap, but we'd most likely end up with a no nap day (pro: early bedtime!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899405 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:43:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1899405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip nap and hope for a car nap after the party, this is pretty standard for us when things like this come up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899392 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 13:36:22 +0000 Andrea 1899392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skip the nap or do a short car nap. My kids sleep really well at night so I wouldn't sweat missing a nap once in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899308 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:55:49 +0000 looch 1899308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip the nap, when I would try to move my son's nap it would fail spectacularly. Maybe keep the morning activities really chill? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899303 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:52:48 +0000 Adira 1899303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try to put her down early and just wake her up! She'll get over the lack of sleep when she's at the party! And then maybe early bedtime to make up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899302 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:51:43 +0000 mrsjyw 1899302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would do an earlier nap, and make it to the party a lil past two! He typically naps 12-2 sometimes later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899301 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:51:01 +0000 Smurfette 1899301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip nap, or put her down at 12 and wake her up early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899298 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:49:47 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1899298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: My LO is 2 and we would likely skip nap. It seems that all of our parties these days are on a Saturday or Sunday at 2pm...right smack dab in the middle of his nap! He'll skip naps every other day these days, so it's not a huge deal, but I can certainly see why it would be for others! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899293 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:45:49 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1899293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Lucky for my husband, I don't care about football! But I will make him go sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899280 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:41:15 +0000 mediagirl 1899280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: hahaha. My husband will happily stay home but.....I want to stay home and watch football.... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899270 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:38:36 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1899270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens all the time for us. Knowing Liam, he wouldn't fall asleep early enough and I would probably just skip his nap that day, but we have done it many times before and he is usually fine. And if it's on an NFL Sunday, my husband will beg me to go alone, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-birthday-party-invite#post-1899262 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:36:23 +0000 mediagirl 1899262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo (2) was invited to a birthday party that will run from 2pm to 4:30pm on a Sunday. My lo typically naps from 1-4 (or later), she's a sleep-a-holic.</p> <p>I would really like her to go to this party because she is "friends" with the little girl who's turning 3 and I'm friends with her mom. So, what would you do in this situation? Try for the early nap and wake her early no matter what?</p> <p>Side note: Who the heck plans a birthday party on sacred NFL day?!??!?! </p>
