When the baby gets a little older that 2 hours a day of free time might vanish and become zero hours a day or negative 2 hours a day.Just because you have 2 hours a day now with a new baby doesn't mean it will last.Terrible twos, etc...When kids get a little older they can have fun at Montessori School for a few hours a day--allowing you to free your schedule somewhat.Then there will be, tumbling, or sports, or other activities as they grow older that will take up their time, all you need to do is drop them off as they get older vs sit there with them while they do it.Just my 2 cents.

I was a collegiate athlete, and when I stopped playing baseball, I wanted something to obsess over like I did sports.
