HoneyBee- my DD is 20 months and really seems to be overwhelmed easily. Have you tried giving a dose of Brauer's Calm before bed? I have found the nights I give it to DD she is asleep in 20 mins compared to up to an hour. I also make sure the tele is off and only lights we really need to see are on. we put lamps on rather then overhead lights. I really hop that helps. It's frustrating when you don't get time with your partner.
