a good idea is to put on a movie that the three year old likes, and play with the baby and put him to sleep in the same room while you still interact with the three year old. its a tough job, but its possible to do. good luck!

You have two babies and a 3 year old to watch. It would be a good idea to put the babies in a play pen on on the floor on a big blanket where you can keep an eye on them. It's a good possibility that they will sleep through the entire evening, please make sure that they have been fed before they come over so that you are not trying to feed both at the same time while minding the 3 year old also. My sister has twins and when they were very little they were on the same feeding schedule.
It would be a good idea to ask if a friend could come over to help you to give you moral support and keep the children entertained. Short story books are good for the 3 year old with lots of pictures. Some kids at this age have a certain few books that they like to have read over and over again. My dad got so tired of reading Dr. Seuss books to us when we were kids that he started to read them backwards. The 3 year old may really enjoy the concept.
Whatever you do, relax, allow some flexibility in whatever you plan to occupy them and enjoy the evening.

this is what i would do. first get a friend to help you. it will be really hard if you dont. i babysit a 3 year old & they need attetion. the 6 month olds you can probably blop them down. brig a fun disney or something movie that the 3 yr old will be interested in. it should keep him occupied. you can put the 6 month olds down for a nap or for bed while you watch the movie with the 3yr old. good luck :)

if its just a short time then the 3 yr old can watch cartoons or a disney movie while u deal with the 6 month olds. i was a little confused by your wording because its 6 month old not 6 month year old since a 6 month old isnt even a yr old yet

i could have the mothers and fathers furnish groceries for his or her son. It shouldn't cost you to feed their toddler. instead of feeding him 2 or thrice make the foodstuff smaller and greater unfolded. Like oatmeal packet for breakfast if he's hungry an hour later provide him the determination of say an apple or an orange, lunch a sandwich snack carrot sticks or celery sticks, etc etc. At your place have healthful selections for him to make. you're turning out to be the mothers and fathers furnish a bag of apples and carrots for at your place. Or which ever snack you all settle on on. do no longer enable him to have extreme sugar snacks or cereals on an identical time as on your care. additionally if he is going to be ingesting while he gets domicile i does no longer feed him the two, till your loved ones is ingesting on an identical time as he's there. ingesting in front of him does no longer be a reliable part of do. till now you your self enforce a weight loss plan of the toddler be certain you already know precisely what the healthcare expert has reported to do. you ought to ask that the mothers and fathers set him up with a dietitian so which you already know what he could and should no longer be ingesting.

Good luck! Be glad its just for one night. I had this situation at my in home daycare and it is going to be alot of work. But having a friend or sibling to help would be a good idea. If not, make sure you ask them to bring a playpen or portacrib and if you need help, let the adults know. (I dont know how old you are)

i am not sure exactly wgat you mean, but if you are talking about a 6 month old and a 3 year old, have the three year old help out with the 6 month old. depending on if they are siblings, it will make the 3 year old feel important if you ask him or her what the 6 month old likes to do. my three year old loves babies and helping out with tasks around the house or what ever, she just like to feel important and help out. Just tell the three year old what a big help he is amd how you couldn't do it with out him.
