    Usually if we have a toy delema, i ask DS to choose a toy that baby can play with, he thinks that is heaps of fun and will often give her his own toys or one of hers. He does get possesive though and has at the odd time tried to sit on her for fun!! I think the older ones are just learning what they can do with the new baby who is now suddenly moving and crawling and wanting to touch everything!!

    Sorry i am not much more help!!

    Have you tried putting DS in a playpen by himself with some toys. That way he can stay in the play room with DD but she will have trouble getting to him to hurt him.

    I agree with getting DD to choose some toys that are special to her and then creating a special place for her to put them, in a pretty decorated box, in her room etc. Then talk to her about the rest of the toys being for sharing.
