Toddler Bettime Question?
I have my son on a strict schedual. He’s in bed by 7:45 (asleep by 8pm) I start at 7. Give him a bath, a massage (Brush teeth) and then bedtime stories. He’s up no later then 8am (Usually wakes on his own between 7am and 8am)
Tonight, My family is giong to the state fair, and I really want to go. I’m taking my son with me. The fair is over about 11pm, and we will be home by midnight. What do i do? Do I not go? I really want to go and I dont have a baby sitter nore do i want to make my 2 1/3 (almost 3) year old sad, he wants to go.
When I get home should i just do the bedtime routine like I normally do? (But it will be close to 1am for him to be in bed) Or just Put him in bed? There also counting on me because My friend is going to let them in for free (he works the booth at the main entrance) So there depending on me.
How should I work around this? Would one night of keeping him up late ruin his whole schedual?
Thank you (Please no rude answers I never keep him out late, this is a first!)
Thank each and everyone of you for the answers. I can’t really pick a "best" because all of them were very helpful.
It’s the next day, we took him. He was alittle cranky (crying) but around 9:30pm he passed out. We left at 11:30 and he didn’t wake up, we put him straight to bed and he slept till 9:30am (it was a good night sleep, we were both wiped out)
Everything went great. Thank you all so much 
Take a buggy with you, because he’s probably going to fall asleep at about 8:30. lol
One night of no bath or teeth brushing isn’t going to do any harm. He’ll probably be grumpy tomorrow, but he’ll quickly get back to his normal routine.

one night off schedule want hurt, get back on it right after. Give him a sponge bath. by the time you get home he will be asleep any way.

my wife does the exact thing with our daughter, so if we want to go out late, my daughter would fall asleep in the car on the way home so we just put her to bed sleeping already.She is 2 1/2

One night won’t mess with his schedule. When you get home, keep the routine to a minimum. Change him, brush his teeth, and then put him down.
You didn’t say how old your son is, but if he’s still young enough to be in a stroller, he may just fall asleep at the fair. What you could do is put him in his jammies before the fair so that if he does fall asleep, you only need to transfer him from the car to his bed.
Good luck, and have fun!

this is a treat let the kid stay out a little late
you can leave early like 8 so that you will be home by 9 and cut the routine a bit short, you can not give him a bath, just read him a story and brush his teeth, he will be in bed my 9:20. Give him a break. he’ll have fun and so will you
this is the best compromise i think
hope i helped

If you want to take him to the fair then do so. He’s at the age where several things will capture his attention. Make sure you take the stroller for the ease of not having to chase after him and because he will fall asleep before you are finished. Most likely he will be sleeping when you arrive home. Plan ahead and dress him in something comfortable to sleep in like sweats. When you get home, just take his shoes off & put him into bed. No need to wake a sleeping child for routines that can be quickly accomplished the next morning.
Hope that you have lots of fun! My girls both love the fair!

No, one night of keeping him up late will not ruin his scedule. I know how you feel because I used to feel the same. It was my partner who talked me out of this. We had a dinner to go to (a close family members birthday party and we had no sitter). ANd i was fretting too but my partner told me "schedules are great but you can not let it rule your life. You still need to live and have some fun and one late night is not going to kill our daughter" so I listened to him and went. Mean while fretting the whole time that my daughter would be all over tired and hard to handle. I was suprised by how well she behaved. She had a blast. ANd I got her home and put her straight to bed. No stories or anything just straight to bed, and at this point she was soooo tired that she went straight to sleep without a fuss. Even without the routine. I think its actually good practise. Routines are awsome, but your child shouldnt have to be completly addicted to them. Its ok for your child to learn to just go to sleep on the odd night when things didnt go according to schedule.
My advice is to go early so you can leave early. People will understand if you leave around 10 rather then 11. Take the pram and blankies for your child to have a nap in if he gets tired. Try and get him to have a decent nap that day but dont fret if he dosnt. And if you need to settle him with routine when you get home, just do the very last bit of it like brush his teeth and read him one bed time story first (taking about ten minutes rather then an hour). He will probably be so tired he will go to sleep ok. If not, dont worry its only one night of his life. He will probably just nap really well the next day and then be sweet. It is easy to get them back in routine again. Good luck
EDIT: I love the idea about dressing him in comfy clothes he can sleep in. That way if he falls asleep on the car ride home you can just carry him to bed. That is what I would do. Good luck and have fun.

I suggest that you take him but bring a stroller / pram with you because he will probably fall asleep. It’s skip the routine and just put him to bed when you get home because you don’t want to interrupt his sleeping regime.
