I agree. Don't get discouraged yet. It takes our's several days even after they've only been on vacation for a week. And after the weekend, Mondays are usually not very easy nap times. They'll get into a routine soon enough. Our's also sleep in an open room with no way of seperating most of them. I've found that the ones who have the hardest time laying still and going to sleep do better when their cot is next to a wall. We also rub their backs until they all go to sleep. This takes a while sometimes, but it usually works for us because at least after they've ALL gone to sleep, no matter how long it took, it gives us time to clean up and take a little break before they start waking up. Lately, we have 8-12, but are allowed up to 16, so somedays go better than others.
