Nofia,
Go with the doll. I'm a firm believer that boys need dolls as well.
It helps them to learn to be good dads. We got my daughter a baby doll for
Christmas and my son (2 yrs) one as well. He loves his doll more than she
loves hers. He gently hugs it, kisses it, and pats it on the back. We need
to train our sons to be good dads and this is a great way. BTW, he also got
a "he-man" truck and plays with it as much as the doll. When he is with the
truck he is loud and rough; when he's with the doll he is quiet and gentle.
I believe we can teach our sons to be "real men" by allowing them the
opportunity to learn how to nurture.
