[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most 3 year olds don’t nap. [/quote]

Never heard of a daycare that does not have naptime for 3 year olds.[/quote]

Maybe at daycare as they are forced to, but kids not in daycare don’t usually nap at 3 or stop shortly thereafter. [/quote]

Lots of kids not in daycare nap at 3.  My kids were in half day preschool, and most of their friends napped.

Mine too, but after lunch until about 2. If my 3 year old slept until 4pm there's no way they would have gone to bed at a decent hour. 2-4 seems late for a nap at that age which is why a 2-4pm party time is appropriate. Come late if the nap runs a bit late or just pass.[/quote]

I don’t think anyone’s suggesting 3yos are napping 2-4.  I think people are suggesting that a lot of them are napping 1-3 or at least 1-2, and unless the party of for your next door neighbour that would make attendance pretty hard.  Especially since I’d assume the invitees to a birthday party for a kid turning 3 are at least half 2yos.  But tbf no time is going to work for all — morning and you’ll miss the non-morning people who struggle to get out of the house before 11 (yes I know people like this even with little kids); over lunch and the kids arrive hangry and the cleanup and prep will be terrible; afternoon and you’ll hit someone’s nap time; evening and you’ll miss the kids who’ve dropped their nap.  I’m guessing this is a family where 2 is a consistently good time for their kid.  It’sa terrible time for mine so I’d probably pass.  :-P[/quote]
