We try to keep M on a pretty tight sleep schedule so we know when she will be getting tired. If we're not paying attention, though, she will start rubbing her eyes and sucking her thumb. I always feel bad when it gets to that point and we haven't started bedtime yet!
How do your lo's show you they are tired?

rubbing eyes and general crankiness, clingy too.
I generally don't let him get to that point. I also make sure I start nap routine about 10 minutes before it's been 2 hours of being awake. Then he always goes down with no tears

She rubs her eyes especially her left eye, then she starts opening her mouth looking for a paci and yells out in frustration

olive yawns and rubs her eyes. charlie tells us he's tired but only if he's really tired. he'd rather play than sleep any day.

We are the same way, with LO on a strict schedule. If things go well, I will usually start to notice her slowing down, gazing into the distance, getting quieter, etc. If I see her rubbing her eyes or sucking her thumb, then she's in danger of becoming "overtired" so I try and quickly get her into her crib.
