Apparently I am having a sympathy pregnancy with you, given the amount of weight I've put on recently.
If Peanut's attention span is anything like my child's was, it's not worth it to invest in a high-priced toy (or doctor's set), as they will lose interest within weeks. If I were to do it over again, it's likely I wouldn't even have toys. Just pots, pans, shoeboxes and laundry baskets.

Greg has a sympathetic pregnancy too! Sorry about that... :)
Peanut doesn't see commercials aimed at children yet. However, its almost like half the shows he watches ARE commercials for the toys based on the show. Stupid Thomas! When we get cable this will change. He will Want things. Nay, he will Need things!
Here I thought keeping commercials away from him would keep silly ideas away from him (like "ice cream" or "peanut butter sandwich"). But no. The "ice cream" and "peanut butter sandwich" concepts are right there in the shows!
