2 year old that seems to have her days and nights mixed up.

My 2 year old seems to have her days and nights mixed up.  Is that possible?
I have told her doctor that she has a hard time sleeping at night and she told me I was spoiling her.
I am lost I have no idea what to do.  
Let's see it is almost 2:30 in the morning and she is playing with her keyboard and dancing.  What is wrong with that picture.  Even though it is quite cute.  But I rather it be 2:30 in the afternoon.
I have tried almost everything.
Let's see typical day.  Wake up at 11 a.m., eat, play, help her sister do her schoolwork (we homeschool), if it is nice go outside and play, eat, play, bath, well this brings about 8 p.m. and have you noticed no nap.  She will not take a nap until about 10 p.m.   I can't keep her awake.  Then back up at midnight.  She plays some more until about 3.  
What do I do?

O.k.  I just read this through and I am kidding myself if that is my typical day.  That typical day is the one that I would love to have.  :)  Sorry about that.   But, I need some sleep.  I am not sure what a typical day of ours would look like.  Other than crazy.

It is now almost 2 p.m. My daughter is still asleep.  I just woke up about 30 minutes ago.    
I need to go wake her but, it is so nice and quiet.
She didn't go down until 5:30 a.m.

It may hurt for a few days But even if she goes down at 5:30 in the morning wake her up at say 8 or 9....until you can reset her schedule.  Then try at say 12-1 to have her take a nap--it may work  Also don't let her take a nap for say longer than two hours, soshe will feel tired at a normal bedtime of say 8:30 or 9:00---I don't know what else to tell you, than I hope that you can find a solution.

We have tried that and she still stays in this schedule.  My husband has woke her up at 9 a.m. and kept her out most of the day, she would take an early nap, then go down at 10 p.m.  and she would wake up at midnight and won't go back down until about 3 a.m.
We tried that for about a week and I am sorry to say that we (mom and dad) needed our sleep.  But, I think I am going to try it again.

I talked to the nurse yesterday and she gave me the same advice.  That means a zombie  mommy for awhile.

i have the same problem!!! Lets see my pass hours where she was up  went to sleep at 10pm work up at 230am fell back to sleep at 6am was back up at 8am day before yesterday fell asleep at 1pm and slept until 12am and here it is 430 and shes still up im going to make her an appointment and try and get them to run some test on her (mind you we are military and her daddy is away which could be some of the problem) but does this often

At 2 years old I wouldn't worry about that too much. My daughter did that when she was 2. Now that she's 3 her sleeping schedule is a lot better. I think what helped her get on a better schedule is that she is now potty trained. She wakes up to pee in the morning and doesn't go back to sleep. We also don't let her take a nap past 5pm. Do everything you can to keep her awake. Give her candy, a bath, or a walk.

My two year has been like that for a while. But recently shes started going to sleep at a better time. now between 9 and 10 usually. I would prefer earlier than that but its still a big improvement.

Maybe if you take away her toys at night so she cant play that will help. Also i would have a set time in th evening and after that time she cant have anything to drink except water.
