Welcome to Yorkie Talk!! So glad you found this site -- it's a great place to learn about Yorkies and everyone is so, so helpful and friendly!
I wouldn't discourage your 2 year old from playing with the pup, especially if it's on the larger size. Yes, you should be careful but not overly vigilant... Yorkies can take care of themselves!!
I grew up around Yorkies and we owned 2 (traditional sized Yorkies - one was 4.5 pounds, one was 6). My uncle (R.I.P.) bred and showed them . I think it's very important to introduce them to kids when they're really young, It'll make all the difference as the dogs grow up.
Also, remember that Yorkies are terriers. Terriers LOVE to play and they are pretty hearty little folk! I think that we get so wrapped up in their size that we forget that these little babies can hang with the best of them!!! A healthy Yorkie can outrun you and me both and they're definitely not as fragile as we think!
Best of luck!
