New Year's Eve Plans for A
Hate to post and run but I would like to get your ideas about this...
Should we or shouldn't we take A-man to a restaurant with other friends and their kids (closest one in age would be almost 3)? They do a countdown at 10pm for the kids.
Considering A-ma's bedtime is uasually anywhere between 5:30 and 7:00.
I'll be back in a few hours to chat! Happy New Year's Eve!
Oh, and who votes that I get a new siggy pic?

Re: New Year's Eve Plans for A
Honestly, I would probably leave A with someone if you could. I know there is a 10 pm count down, but still, he might be tired at that time and a little cranky. This way you don't have an un-happy baby. But you would know better, how does he do when kept up late? Can he sleep somewhere if needed?
New siggy!!!
lol, yes, time for a new siggy!!
If you have the option of a sitter, I'd say do that. 10pm is a long way from his usual bedtime and you'd probably have a cranky baby on your hands. But on the flip side, its just for 1 night, would he do ok if there were people around to keep him entertained enough not to get cranky?
It depends on how he usually does when up past his bedtime. I know C is happy as can be when he is surrounded by a bunch of people and noise even if it is past his bedtime. But if we are home alone, then he gets cranky by 5:30 and is ready for bed. We learned this this holiday season being out for Christmas Eve and a holiday party. I thought he was going to be totally cranky but he was Mr. Social. So if A tends to be ok if there is a lot going on around him, I say take him!
This.
NYE at child/ family centered event means lots of other parents in your shoes. You'll get a pass should he be less than co-operative.
One other tip, bring his sippy/ bottle and a favorite snack from home. I found that Lil Miss did way better in situations like this when she had something familiar to get her started.
Hope you have lots of fun!
