DD doesnt' go down for the night until we go to bed cos she just doesn't want to sleep properly unless we're in the room at night - she will wake up and not resettle again. so she now has a nap when we're eating dinner most nights, and wakes to spend another hour or so with us, then goes to bed around 9.30-10.30 depending on the night. if i tried to get her to go to bed for the night at 7, i would have more trouble during the night with wake ups...
