Not really complaining, just wondered if this was normal! My nearly 2-year-old goes to bed around 7.30 (can be way earlier or later) but we can see on the video monitor he lies awake for at least an hour, sometimes two hours or more, before finally going to sleep!
He does put up a fuss about going to bed usually but once calm he just chills out. He's had various levels of refusing bed over the past 6 months but is pretty chilled now. Recently he's started singing to himself as well.
I know we're lucky and if we didn't have the monitor we'd just assume he'd gone straight to sleep, but I feel a bit mean leaving him all alone, although he doesn't seem to mind.
He naps during the day for 1.5-3 hours and wakes around 7.30am (can be way earlier or later) so no worries about the amount of sleep he gets.
