Oh Vicky...its so hard isn't it? I went through something similar with my son at 3. 2 was a breeze but 3 was a nightmare. He had night terrors which seem like he's awake but he's wasn't still asleep - just screaming. If she came down last night and settled in her car seat, its not the best option but might be worth allowing that for a bit so she catches up on her sleep and then you can bedtime routine back. Do you do the same thing each night - ie bath, bed, story, quiet time etc? My little boy was such a creature of habit that for a while I thought he had a touch of autism as any little change to his routine would set him off. I was lucky that he was only a nightmare at home - out of the house he was an angel so everyone thought I was being neurotic.
