How to get a lie in - and dance at a wedding

My kids don't do lie ins. They are usually awake by about 6.30am - we get the occasional 7am. I usually put them to bed by 7pm and the odd late night doesn't make much difference to their wake up time. It doesn't really bother me - I'm a lark, not an owl.

But every now and again a late morning is appreciated. And it turns out that if I keep them up until midnight - then I get a lie in.

We went to a wedding over the weekend. I was worried about what to do with the kids once they got tired but they resolved the issue themselves.

At around 10pm, Theo climbed into his pushchair on the edge of a roaring dancefloor and went to sleep. And Freyja just danced and danced and danced until we all went home at midnight.
