Bella self settles and still does when she goes to bed! I have just decided to not force her to go to bed and if its 10pm then thats how it has to be at this stage - she just plays and walks around all the furniture and things like that. If we try and force her then she gets upset and I dont want that.

We have thrown her into bed with us in the middle of the night of late and she goes traight back to sleep so once she is asleep I will put her back in the cot - she sometimes sleeps with us all the rest of the night but she HOGS the bed!!

Bella sleeps very well during the day (2 x 2hr sleeps some days) so I may drop a day sleep to help with her night sleeping.

I think that at these ages that they are so aware of whats going on that they dont want to miss out!!
