Bedtime has become this great dramatic ordeal the last few weeks. Bath, then pajamas (which itself is an ordeal of nudity, negiotiation, and making sure the correct pajamas are chosen). Most nights she is in bed by 9pm (although I would prefer 8:30) and not really asleep until 10. Naps are only 1 1/2 to 2 hours long, early or mid afternoon. She likes to hop into our bed then hops out and asks for stories. We read in her room, change a diaper and get settled into bed. Sometimes there is crying, sometimes not. Lights out. Then every 5-10 minutes there is a
plea for something. Tonight began with complete disrobing, followed by request for milk, and the finale was diaper of smelly, smelly poo pellets, which mommy (who thought she was crying wolf) stuck her nose into and got a big Freaking whiff of. There has been poo the last THREE NIGHTS!!!

We're dealing with a dramatic bedtime ordeal on our end as well, for about a month or so now.
It's one excuse after another, my tummy hurts, gotta go pee pee, and so on. She's going to bed around 9 or so at the latest (but, like you, I'd like it to be 8:30 at the latest and sometimes we make that time) and then staying up until 10 or 11 some nights. And--she has completely given up daytime naps here at home so :(
I wish there was some magic elixir or pill to get bedtime back on track but I guess it's just the age--this too shall pass. Hang in there!
