I only have a two year old boy, but his schedule is:
5:00a-7:00a wake up and play in his crib (he wakes up at different times almost every day, but we don't get him out until later)
7:00 get up and get dressed
8:00 breakfast
8:30-12:00 play time and Sesame street/Elmo DVD
12:00-12:30 Lunch
12:30-2:30 naptime
2:30-6:00 play time, no TV
sometimes he gets a snack at about 3:00 if he's hungry
6:00 dinner
6:30 bath, jammies, and stories
7:00 brush teeth and bed time
At about three months we were able to get our son on a schedule. If you don't have one yet for your youngest, you might want to think about trying to create something. If there is a time when your two youngest are asleep and your oldes is home, try helping her with homework then.
You also might want to check out the Supernanny website (Dr. Phil crew: If that's on a different network, sorry, it's still a good show ;p).
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the advice. I have a 14month old daughter who is on a schedule as well. But don't forget to bend a little with it to give them some variation so they don't get bored. Some weeks I will take her on an outing and it might mean that she has to have a nap at a different time.
