We have a little night owl as well. 9pm is Sam's usual bed time, 8pm is the earliest he's ever gone down for the night. He sleeps until around 7am and wakes happy... He also still has two day sleeps most days at 16 months old. Today is looking like only one day sleep - but that one day sleep was three and a half hours () plus a little 15 minute catnap in the car this afternoon.

If it works for your family, then stick with it. I look at families that insist on a 7pm bed time... and occasionally think that would be nice - but I also notice those families often complaining that the kids are wanting to start the day at 5am - not for me, thank you!
