I hear you on that Nicole! Maddie was a terrible sleeper. She still, at 5 years old, will rarely sleep the entire night in her own bed. My DH wakes up insanely early for work (like, between 2am and 4am) so, I think sometimes she does wake up from that but, she is generally in bed w/ me from about 3 or 4 until it's time to wake up.

Lily, on the other hand, is a fantastic sleeper and always has been. She goes down around 7 and doesn't require anything special. Just her blankie, her elmo and her nuk. I used to rock/nurse for a few min but, she started fighting me and just prefers to be put in her crib straight away. She will sleep until at least 6am or whenever I have to wake up her (6:30 on school days). On the weekends, she will not usually sleep later than 7 (if she sleeps in at all). She goes down for a nap around Noon and will sleep for about 2 hours. We do use a humidifier that makes a "white noise" so, I think that helps especially when DH wakes up for work. He is not the quietest person in the world! The early mornings stink but, the early bed time makes it worth it!
