Lol awwww, how cute
DD1 can climb in and out of her cot with ease (she uses a port-a-cot) so now bedtimes are pretty sketchy... she is staying up later to eat dinner with DH and I too so the bath/bed routine has been interrupted (she has a bath at 5:30 when DH gets home from work).
We have a babygate at the door of her bedroom (was intended to stop the dog chewing DD's toys to shreds, now the dog lives outside) and she's learning that bedtime means just that - we do the whole cuddles and kisses goodnight, a story, then pop her in her cot and if she wants to get out of bed and play with her toys, that's fine, she eventually either climbs back into her cot or passes out on the floor with a pillow and blanket. Some nights when she's cranky she'll stand at the gate and yell for us to let her out, but I try to leave it as long as possible, going down the hallway a couple of times to remind her that it's time to go to sleep or she'll be tired and cranky in the morning.

We're working on it, but I definitely like having the babygate there to stop her running amok It might not work for much longer though - I woke up yesterday morning and she was climbing into bed with DH and I so she must have worked out a way to climb over it :/
