I've had that happen, but never for that length of time...my guess is that he is finding the enviornment a little overwhelming. I have one who is going to be 2 in March, only child, had been at gmas before here, he had a tough time and responded with biting.

I think I would try to engage him and one other child in play, an older child. I would ask the older one to be his buddy. Once he was good with the one child, with me actively engaged, I would slowly remove myself, so that he could play with JUST that one child, perhaps off in a corner.

Once that was working, I would add another child in hopes of de-sensetizing him. If that didn't work, I would try giving him a gated off corner with his own toys and perhaps his blanket so that he could feel safe, observe and get comfortable with whats going on.

If none of those options work, I would move him back to two naps so that he got a break from the action. Good luck!
