the art of getting a toddler to sleep

We moved Harper into Dylan's room and Dylan got a toddler bed and we finally got our room back. Harper's taking better naps in the crib and tonight is the first night of our experiment.  Although I'm not sure how Harper is going to fall asleep with the light on since Dylan insists on keeping it on.  I sleep better now since I've had kids because the window of opportunity is short and you have to take advantage of the time you have.  I also don't like to go to bed at a normal hour.  My creativeness starts to flow when it gets late.  But that flow will take a toll when I have to get up with Dylan at 5:30 am as she did this morning.
And at this point of the night, (See above) I'm ready to just chill.  If the kids are down by 8, we can watch a film.  If the kids are down by 8:30, we can watch a show.  If the kids are down by 9, my wife is done.  And I have the night to myself.  In solitude.
