Thanks so much for the advice/help/tips ladies. I forget how clicked on these kids of ours are. Tonight we did the same routine but when we finished reading her books we told her we would be back in 15 minutes and that was the end of reading time and it would be time to go to sleep. You could have knocked me down with a feather because she put her books down and settled in. Mind you it was still 9pm by the time the dramas finished but hopefully we'll be able to slowly bring her back to an earlier bedtime.
I have also told her that if she doesn't go to sleep she would be allowed to have her lamp anymore.
Fingers crossed it keeps improving because I really really don't want to cut out her daytime sleep. She is so tired around lunch time and asks for her sleep - plus I LOVE IT!!
