[quote=Anonymous]I would put out small foods, like donut holes, mini muffins, mini bagels, fruit, then have an activity and serve an early lunch around 11:15-11:30. If you have low-carb parents, you can make or buy appetizer fritattas and cut into small bite-size portions, maybe hard boiled or deviled eggs. For many, 10am is mid-morning between breakfast and lunch, so light breakfasty snacks following by the lunch after activity will probably work our right. [quote] I've NEVER heard of a kids Bday party that early. Just plan wrong and I'm sure the majority of the people going aren't happy about the time either. [/quote] NP here. Did you read the age of the child? 4 years old. Most kids that age are in preschool. The vast majority of the kids that we know are from double-income families and the kids have been in daycare, then preschool for most of their lives. They are in bed by 7:30, 8:00 or 8:30 and are up by 7am at the latest. We take turns and usually we each get to sleep in one day each weekend (unless the schedule is full) and so one parent is up by 7:30 at the latest. Most parents don't get to sleep in again regularly until the kids hit the pre-teen years and start to sleep later or can take care of themselves in the morning without parental intervention. But at age 4, you can't leave kids unattended in the morning to sleep in.[/quote]
