i put my 21 month old daughter to bed today at 12:15 cause she was acting tired and she usually has a sleep around this time. it is now 1:40 and she is not asleep! she has been throwing her blanket, pillow, dummy, cuddle toy off the bed. standing up on bed, playing, talking to herself, drinking her water, calling out etc, this whole time. i have been in there probably about 10-15 times! she hasnt been crying during this, she seems quite happy.

what should i do now? presume she wasnt tired and get her out of bed to play in lounge room til she is sleepy? but then it will be too late in the day to have a sleep and she will be up all night if she sleeps past 3:30!

or should i keep her in her room until she falls asleep? what if that is another hour! i feel b ad for cooping her up in her bed for so long (though she seems happy enough).

plus she will be getting hungry soon!

i'm confused as to what to do with her!
