wow, you're still coherent. I'm impressed.  

Don't worry about Montessori for a couple of years - like you, I am not convinced that it's wholly applicable to infants. All you really need for infant care is kindness.  

For kids after the age of 3 or 4 though, I'm a fervent supporter of Montessori. Both my children are in a Montessori school, luckily it's a charter school so fees are manageable.  

I know you'll get tired of people telling you this, but really, even in the fog of sleep deprivation, these times with your new beautiful fraction of life are some of the most rewarding in existence..
