Do they go to bed easily?

She almost 3 (end of July) and sleep has just gotten better again after another illness. Goes to bed around 7:30, some stalling and craziness or whining, but once she settles goes to sleep pretty easily and sleeps through the night until at 6:30 (her clock lights up at 7:20 but lately she's been waking up before and saying she has to go potty.). She naps most days though that can be more of a challenge.

She is 2.5 and getting to sleep is the pits. Dad is traveling more and she is acting out because of it. She also wants me to lay with her but I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I just can't do that anymore. I feel like a terrible mom, but it's so uncomfortable.

Ugh my 3 year has pretty much just always been a sucky sleeper. He goes down at 8:30ish. He wants someone to stay with him until he's asleep and we are working on that. He's also been waking at night- sometimes to pee, sometimes because of a nightmare.

18 months. Sleeps roughly 730-630 with a 2 hour nap, sometimes 2.5, sometimes a little less than 2. Honestly some days I don't hear him until 7 am but I have my fan on at night so....maybe he's actually awake at 6?! He still has a pacifier and typically goes to sleep without a peep, though the last week he's been crying a lot at bedtime and wanting to be rocked!?
Our 4 year old sleeps roughly 8-630. No nap, like ever. Sometimes he will sleep until 7/730. Sometimes he is up at 6. He needs more sleep. He wants us to lay with him sometimes we do sometimes we don't.

I am glad that some can commiserate. Lately my 3-almost-4 year old has been so hard to get down at night! He doesn't nap during the day and wakes up around 7. By the time it's 7:30--I just want him to go to sleep!
In fact, I am drinking wine right now while he roams around in the playroom.
I don't care if he is up and playing and quiet, but I know he has to be SO exhausted! I've tried moving up bedtime, moving down bedtime, being firm, etc, etc...nothing is working so I'm just ignoring it! Last night was ridiculous though, he was up until almost 10pm!

My 2 year old is driving me a little nuts this week. Bedtime is still okay (knock wood), she goes down at 8 and *usually* goes right to sleep or just rolls around for 20 min then sleeps.. but sat and sun night she cried when we set her down. Only for a few min but it broke my heart. Also she napped 1 of 5 days at daycare last week?! fought nap sunday (but nap won) and didn't nap today. I feel like she is trying to drop her only nap but she JUST turned two and dear god... i'm not ready lol

@Mae: we had major nap issues when my son turned two that lasted a month ish. Now he's napping longer then ever at 27 months.
My son goes to bed lately around 830 after some chatting and sometimes weird requests for us to go in for something. He gets up early (6ish) but has been napping so long. Like 1-330 and we have to wake him! He has never been a good napper so it's weird. I should try getting him up earlier from nap and down earlier for night but I'm enjoying the long nap too much to wake him sooner.

DS is 21 months. His bedtime is 730pm and we get him at 730am. I would say most nights lately he's bashing around in his crib kicking his footboard and making a racket for 30 minutes to an hour before going to sleep. He has been waking up super early (4-5am) but thankfully going back to sleep on his own lately. Naptime is at 12:30pm, unless he's tired early, and on a good day he will nap 2.5 hours. Usually he's napping 90 minutes to 2 hours, but we don't get him until 2.5 hours have elapsed. Daycare just gets him when he wakes up, however.
I think once he turns 2, we may have to push his bedtime to 8pm and push his nap to 1pm, as I think that's what the rest time/nap time for his preschool is going to be in the fall. But I LOVEEEEEE our 730-730 schedule. Sigh.

My 21 month old DD goes to bed with a bit of stalling asking for more books. Her bed time is around 7:30, but we've been a bit more loose letting it slip to 8 or 8:30 if we're busy or she's had a late nap. She naps around 1.5 -2 hours.

DD1 is 3.5. Bedtime is at 9. It use to be much earlier but she kept fighting it and stalling. On weekdays I wake her up around 7:30 so I can get to work. On weekends she sometimes sleeps in until 8:30. She takes a 2 hour nap.

My son is 17months. He naps pretty consistently for 2.5 hours. We nurse to sleep for nap and he usually wakes up halfway through the nap, and I have to nurse back to sleep.
I night weaned him about 2 months ago and it's honestly never "took" all the way. I rock him to sleep for 30 min or less around 8pm and then he'll wake around 4-5 and nurse on and off until 730. I should buckle down and move that time back but I never have had the motivation. I sometimes have to rock him back to sleep but won't nurse him until 4am.

DS is 3 and goes to bed at 7:30. He's usually asleep within half an hour. These days he sleeps good and through the night(knock on wood). But really he has never really been a great sleeper. He is up 5:30-6 and takes a 2is hour nap. He is starting to fight it at home but goes down easy at daycare.
