Both our girls go upstairs at the same time (around 7-7.30pm) and then spend a ridiculously long time spinning out the pyjama-ing and tooth-brushing stages, and then (if DH isn't home) I do stories/feeding for Shannon and then stories for Jade and it's usually 9pm before I leave Jade listening to a relaxation cd and playing or reading. She's usually asleep by 10pm but not always ... but still up early, and I read some reviews on Amazon.com of the book "sleepless in America" which leads me to believe she may be sleep-deprived and in need of a better earlier sleep time. So haven't got much further with it than that but planning on doing something about it! Am contemplating the same issue (sleep).

This often rolls around to about 8, and then I go and tell them to turn the light off sometime around 8.30 (school night) or 9 otherwise. They usually go to sleep fairly quickly after that. we’ve a similar routine to the beans, except the expected time for them to be having stories is 7.30.

SB's general bedtime is 8, with a story or two in bed. She reads and then listens to story CD's until she goes to sleep. She can sit reading until way late - so do ask her to stop if she's still at it too long , as otherwise she gets tired the next day The grownups in this house are rubbish at sensible sleeping, so I wouldn’t expect the kids to be any good left to their own devices.
