16 month old still awake?

I have a 16th month old daughter going on 5 lol! She loves to play ball, and everything else. Its 1:46am right now. I got home from work at 11:30. I was saying something to mom in the other room and my daughter woke up. We do this every night. If I leave the house and she goes to sleep. And I come home she wakes up. I'm not talking loud or anything. She just wakes up and cries until I come see her. If we try and play it off like I'm not there she knows better. Is there anyway to stop this now, so I can start getting to bed at a decent hour? We wake up between 8-10 depending upon how late it was we I finally got her down for the night!

Answer:
its funny that u say that because i have a 2 1/2 year old still awake right now too, but the best thing that i can think of is just regularity in naps and bedtime.try to get them to bed at the same time everyday (believe me it doesnt always work). My wife is at work right now and usually doesnt get home until 3 in the morning its 12 pst right now, and our boys stay asleep during the night because i make sure that when its bedtime its bedtime. they dont get to stay up and play or anything like that but like my 2 1/2 year old right now he is sick but he is laying on the couch.he doesnt get to get up or anything he has to lay there and go to sleep.just be stern with them when they are young and bedtime means bedtime
how ever watch you baby while you is at work have them to set a time schedule for her so when you come home she will be sleep and you can go to bed i know cause i been there with my son
DEAR I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT PUT HER IN THE BED WITH YOU UNTIL SHE GOES TO SLEEP AND I MEAN SHE IS SOUND TO SLEEP REALLY GOOD OK AND TE PLAYING YOU 2 TAKE A BUBBLE BABY TOGETHER DRESS HER AND YOU AND SAY NIGHTIE NIGHT TIME IT IS BED TIME COME GET IN THE BED WITH YOUR BLANKET AND DOLLY OK I HOPE THIS HELP YOU OUT OK TAKE CARE WITH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY'S HAPPY NEW YEAR
She's craving your love and attention and obviously, she can sense when your due to arrive home. I know that 11:30 is late and you've worked hard for the night. But you really do need to go into her room and spend a little bit of time with her.at least until she goes off to sleep for the night. Start reading to her.. You also have the choice of letting her sleep with you. That works sometimes. I'm a granny and help out with my grandbaby. But she's old enough to know that I'm not the momma.or the dadda.and sometimes that's all she wants. Think about it.. It may seem cumbersome. But it really is about her wanting and needing her parents love. Good luck to you & the little one..
I find that if my baby cousin cant get to bed I take her a nice warm bath, give her a bottle of milk and put her to sleep with me, then I transfer her to her bed. It always works for me, you should try it.
I think i might have an answer for this
1 Try to follow a regular routine in the lead-up to bed,then put them down at a constant bedtime, you might have trouble settling the child down ,try putting a later bedtime and each night move it foward a few minutes keep doing that until a acceptable bedtime is reached. DOnt play, fight chase stir or run near bedtime, bath,talk,tuck up,cuddle,and read a soothing story. when it is time to go say goodnight and leave as u mean it do not rise to any requests. if they reappear u have to be firm dont feel guilty about being tough, you put them back at once no questions accepted they know your are in charge

2Very Gentle Approach(this could keep u up for hours)
Sit until they sleep sit quietly in the room either reasing to yourself or just relaxing all you are offering is ur presence not entertainment, if they lie quietly u stay the moment they question or climb out the approach hasnt worked and u must leave descively

i can give u tough approach
i read this out of a book cos i was bored im only 11
