DD really wants to go see a certain panto that's been advertised in the nearby city recently. It's all sold out pretty much for Dec (or only crappy seats left), but there's great seats (front row!) left for a few days in Jan. I thought it would be nice to take dd on her 6th birthday, (which falls during the first week of Jan) and was about to buy us some front row seats.
Her bedtime is normally 8pm. But the show starts at 7.30pm. Runs until 9.30pm. The next train home is 10pm. It won't get to our own town until 10.25pm. Then to get home is a 20 minute walk (or a 10-15 min wait on a taxi; they won't let you book in advance from a train station in case of train delays etc). So we won't get home until around 11pm.
Then the time she's washed and changed, she likely won't get to sleep until 11.30pm. She then has to get up at 8am for school.
Should i just leave it, or is it okay to do as a one-off? i know she'd really love the show. But i'd feel terrible keeping her up that late. She'd likely be yawning the whole next day at school.
