Is this likely to cause an argument?

I am getting DD a wheelie bug for christmas (she will be almost 1 ) My DS (3.4)loves things like that and from an earlier post it seems like most 3 year olds still love them. anyway will it cause upset if she gets one and not him (he has asked for a farm) or will it be no problem as he will be able to use it too.

thanks, i know it sounds silly, but i don't want to cause any upset.

Nah - he is the Big Brother - it is is right and duty to share his little sisters toys. In effect, he actually gets two for the price of one

He will play with it. My 11-year old still sits on her sisters

Thanks P!!! just what i thought, but suddenly started to worry about it!! great! I havent bought anything yet that is for her (present wise) as she has DS's old toys, but she is not old enough yet to even know its for her anyway i suppose.

Tinker - Only registered the second part of your post: 'My 11 year old still sits on her sisters' it made me lol thanks

ginseng - Im sure it will be fine although he will probably play with it more than she does! but as she is only nearly 1 I dont think she will mind
