Any other toddlers fighting bedtime?

Ryan will be 2 next month and for the past few weeks, he absolutely will not go to sleep for me. He cries and we battle until DH gets home from work, which is usually 8:30 - 9:00. After DH sings him one song, he will finally sleep. Well, DH is not going to be home until much later tonight, and I am at my wit's end.

Any advice?

I am!! We just took Jordana's pacifier away. Now she wants me to sit with her while she sleeps, and she is awake, but not crying, for a whlie.

Thanks for the responses. Ryan throws his pacifier and his little doggie blanket out of the crib, and then screams for them. He's been fighting me since 8:00.
