My daughter goes down easy for naps so she'd be long asleep by the time the last one is asleep if I put her down first. I can think about changing the routine completely to put her down first. I don't think it's quite as easy as it sounds since she wakes the latest of the group since she is on-site and one little guy has to go down early as I wake him at 10am or he'd sleep until 11am and then not go down at the same time as the others in the afternoon. I will give it some thought and see how it'll work.

I am hoping it is short term as she was fine the first 2months with my coming and going. I wore her on my back yesterday and this morning and it is working. nothing like carrying around 50pounds of kids, up and down stairs!! The kids all find it amusing that they can touch her and talk to her while we do diapers and nap routines so it's working so far.
It is a difficult thing to get things sorted out, hopefully you find something that works. In a few months I think you will find it easier to deal with the needs of your child as she gets more mobile and capable and understands more. Good luck!
