Naptime tips desperately needed!

[gravy_train]

I just wanted to post another update to my napping situation in case any other providers turn to this thread for advice or help with naptime woes.
I am very, very happy to say that I have been sticking with a very strict naptime routine since my original post. Our naptime is at exactly the same time everyday, I sing the same 'naptime' song, read the same books and put the kids to bed in the same order every naptime. Today they have all been sleeping for 1.5hours. DCG just woke up - I can hear her chatting, and I will go in when she gets louder (which she will, she is my 'screamer') and gently remind her to 'shhh' for her friends, close the door and leave her until nap/quiet time is up!
The trick with my DS is to put him in his crib and I just sit in the chair until he falls asleep. I don't engage him in any way - I don't talk to him, look at him, nothing - I just sit in the room. When I first did it it took him about 25 minutes to fall asleep. Now it takes him less than 5 minutes!
When i originally posted I was really struggling with how to cope with the constant screaming/crying and not getting a break. Today, I am so happy to report that during my break I was able to email some friends, enjoy a cup of tea, do a load of laundry and tidy up the lunch dishes all with a quiet, relaxed ambiance because everyone was sleeping! YAY!!!
