One of my yorkies is 2 1/2 lbs so they will be able to play together. Hopefully he will adjust and not be too spoiled!
SO CUTE! The book I reccomended advocated stuffed animals! also, make sure to inhibit nursing regularly, but using a stuff animal to push him off, so he associates it with his 'littermates' and not humans...anyway, good luck!
