My daughter will be 3 in about 2 months. No matter what I do, I cannot get her to fall asleep before 9:30pm. We do a nice wind down and i turn the lights out for bed at 8. She constantly gets out of her bed. I think she finally starts to stay in her bed around 9 or 9:15 and falls asleep 9:30. She wakes around 7 or 7:30. She goes down for nap somewhere between 12:30 and 1:30 depending on the day. I thought maybe she was ready to wean the nap, so we're actually down to a 20 min nap. When I wake her, shes in a good mood and it seems to be all she needs to get through the day. However, cutting her nap short has not changed her 9:30 bedtime! I think the only difference is occasionally when I used to let her nap as long as she wanted, she would actually wake up in a terrible mood, screaming! And she is not ready to skip the nap completely yet...i tried yesterday and she passed out on the floor at 5pm.
What do I do? I feel like 9:30 is crazy late....or is it not?! Should I just let her go to bed at 9:30?! I feel like I waste a lot of time getting her back in bed for an hour and a half every night. But id sure prefer if she just went to sleep at 8! Lol
