Dealing with overexcited toddler tonight --- up hours past bedtime (now almost 1 am)

Any advice????

She had lots of excitement today playing with cousin....during this visit she has been going to sleep later & later but tonight takes cake.

Some of the tricks I use on rare nights like at home can't work because I'm staying with family....

At home I do things like take her for ride in car

Or listen to Hispanic lullabyes

Any ideas?

We just got up to play for a few minutes...I figured after 2+ hours of trying to get her to sleep it couldn't hurt.

Im in the same boat

I think let her play, change of scenery, get a drink, I finally came out here to the living room with my three year old niece because she would not fall asleep in my daughters room. A very boring video game my 11 year old is playing finally put her to sleep. Along with me patting her. Now I think my 5 year old nephew might be right behind her. I was ready to crash 1.5 hrs ago.

Good luck.
