I'm wondering if you try earlier, what might happen. I understand your dh's work and the late dinner, but I can't help wondering...
Is she getting enough (for her) opportunity for energy expending during the day?
Is she napping?
These can be factors in her nighttime habits.
You might check out Mary Sheedy Kurcinka's book, Sleepless in America. Has information on how much sleep each age range requires. Heard her speak on this subject in the spring, and it was fascinating hearing about the "window" that our children show us when they are ready for sleep, but we often miss it, and then it takes that much longer and more work to reach sleep.
I wouldn't worry about "habits." They (children) keep changing and moving on very naturally and inevitably
