softbreeze, omg I could have taken your 2 posts and put my name on them! It seems we are nearly in identical situations! I work from home and her dad is away from home during the days (and some evenings) so her and i just do everything together and she normally just sleeps when she sleeps (on errands, at home, out to lunch or dinner, etc.) In fact she is awesome at restaurants as we've taken her everywhere with us since day 1. I've got a weird evening schedule too that is really important and I often take my dd with me. We sometimes don't get home until after 8 or even 9. I am trying to rearrange that, but it's tough. She did so well with everything up until about a couple of weeks ago (about the 6 month point) and now I KNOW she is overtired. The resisting sleep, not napping much and waking all night seems to be classic signs of it. Did the CIO that one night fix your situation? Let me know how it went. I think I can do it if I check on her every 5 minutes, but really what freaked me out is reading this no cry sleep book and it made CIO sound barbaric. Just the way the author put it it sounded awful (even though I know almost every friend of mine has done it and their kids are fine!!!)....
