I aim for 8 each night, but when dh is home it's usually closer to 8:30. The very latest is 9. Asher falls asleep right away, but he doesn't nap during the day. Amelia usually takes a while (30-45 mins typically). She'll lay there and sing to herself, but she stays in bed.
I don't want the PB curse by typing it and then it changing, but both kids are in bed at 7:00 and fall asleep within 5 minutes.
Edit: my kids are both up by 6-6:15 (often 5:30) because they have to be out the door by 6:50. So any later for bedtime means they are monsters for DC.
This is us too. We get our kids up at 6:15 to leave the house at 6:45, so bedtime is 7:30. On bath nights they usually get their bath right after dinner so they can play for a few minutes (and Ingrid's hair can dry without having to blow dry). We do jammies, brush teeth, books, then in bed. It usually takes about 5-10 minutes and they're both asleep by 7:45 on a typical night.
I get M up at 615 also to get him to DC and he still doesn't go to bed until 9 and falls asleep later. I really want to pull the nap at DC, I'm sure he would go to bed earlier, but I know that's her time alone at DC. Ugh
junkytrunk, That sucks - I'm sorry Thankfully Ingrid has always been a great sleeper. Sometimes she's not tired yet at 7:30 so we let her stay up till closer to 8, and occasionally she'll jabber and sing in her bed until she falls asleep, but usually she's ready for bed come 7:30 and even tells us she wants to go to bed some nights. She got that from me. My parents said when I was little they would look up some nights and I wasn't there. They'd go look and sure enough, I had just taken myself to bed.

Potty, bath, etc. starts at 7 and we're usually reading bedtime books by 7:45ish. Lights out between 8 and 8:15, but it takes her 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. She talks to herself, plays with her stuffed toys, or looks at books (she has a little flashlight) in bed . . . You know, when she's not calling for me to bring her something/put socks on/discuss the plans for the next day.
