Ouch!  I know I'm usually in bed by 10 so that would get me cranked up.  DD is only 14mos BUT she was getting on a path of going to bed later and later - 9, 930, 10...and she was still napping 3x a day, 40mins to 3hrs each!...

Since this thread is from July, how are things going?  We have a 14mo DD who is quite the tomboy already and I suspect will be more likely to play cops and robbers than with dolls (I was certainly that way as a child), but we are...
