[quote=Anonymous]I have a 5 yr gap between my middle and youngest too. It is has many challenges and benefits but logistics of a baby/toddler schedule and naps and the schedule of older kids is my biggest problem too. Start consolidating to two longer naps. This is about the natural time for that anyhow. Older child stays in after school care until baby wakes up. I wouldn't sign older child up for any activity that starts before 4:30. This is what I did for the first 2 yrs. My older kids got out of school at 3 but went to after school care (which was usually outdoor playground time, which they love) until about 3:45-4. From there I would take all three kids to whatever activity they had and baby was much happier. This year youngest is almost three and naps are shorter so I am usually able to pick big kids up on time. [/quote]
