My lo loves to push big dump trucks around the driveway. Does she have a grocery cart or stroller she can push? Thatnusually wears him out

Is she generally well rested during the day? Sometimes lo wont go to bed if he is overtired. Maybe bedtime is too late? Or she is going through a separation anxiety period?

If its none of those things, maybe try shortening her nap a bit? It seems like a totally reasonable length, but so e kids need less.

We have this http://m.samsclub.com/ip/my-first-trampoline-with-enclosure-88/prod2100624 and it's amazing. And we also run laps around the house. It's too hot to run outside right now, but running indoors works, too. Also, we totally stick him on the treadmill sometimes. Ha ha.

I don't have any advice to give but just wanted to say you are not alone! My DD (who will be 2 tomorrow!) is in a similar place-- up between 6:30-7:15 most days, takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon no problem (with a few recent exceptions) and then takes an hour or so to fall asleep at night (lately it's been mostly around 8:45-9:00). She is still in a crib so we fortunately don't have to sit with her (she just rolls around and talks to herself until she falls asleep). I have been making myself crazy the last month or two trying to figure out what was wrong but am really starting to think it's just a change in her rhythms. Someone also told us it may have to do with it being summer/staying lighter later and it's messing with her circadian rhythms. As long as you think she's getting enough sleep, try not to worry (easier said than done, I know)!

We're going through the exact same thing at the moment. E used to go to bed at 6pm most nights and STTN approx. 4/7 nights each week. But for the last week or so (13 months old), since she has been walking, she has refused to go down until 9pm and seems completely full of energy. It seems that nothing will tire her out!!! I might try some of the ideas here!! I have to say, though, that when we take her swimming that does make her really sleepy - but you don't go swimming at bedtime, do you?!
