BBJ, Here's a 180 on getting your D to bed without the drama. Our oldest wouldn't go to bed w/o a whole hour plus of pre-bedtime ritual then the whole crying in the crib bit. We went out for New Years Eve left him with the babysitter, we prepped her on how hard he was to get to sleep and just laughed to ourselves on how she was going to earn her money tonight. We came home expecting to her a horror story, she no he was fine I just put him in bed at bedtime and he went right to sleep. WTF!? We were dealing with marathon bedtimes for 15 months and she just puts him the crib and poof he goes to sleep. Well the gig was up on him after that, we just got him ready like normal and put him to bed at the same time. No problems after that. It took the baby-sitter to show us (the toddler whipserer). Worth a shot. Cheers
