Thinking ahead to Christmas. DS2 will be almost 18 months old then and he loves dogs. He also loves our toy baby: he will feed the baby with the bottle accessory, walk him around in the stroller and cover him with a blanket. I was thinking of getting him a My Little Live Pets puppy and removing any small accessories. But I wonder if an interactive pet will be appropriate for a young toddler or if I would be better off getting him a dog plushie with a bowl, basket, etc.? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
