I love babies (I started out my business with my own 4 month old and 2 9 month olds) but when the vast majority of my group is getting older, a baby doesn't always make sense in terms of activities and such. My youngest will be 18 months in September so I'm thinking thats not exactly a baby anymore. I could manage it . .. . . but why manage when I could have a two year old from the get go? . . . who starts earlier at that.

I'll have to wait for the playdates to get a better idea. It's nice to have options but the final decision can be tedious.
