GOTTA GET A GUND!
I bought as many of these as I was allowed at Christmas because as they used to advertise (and maybe still do), you've GOTTA GET A GUND! My son is autistic and when he was small, no toy whatsoever could entertain him but rather a spec of dust could. It was so frustrating because we didn't know he was autistic but definitely knew something (back then it was 1 in 100,000 that you'd have a child with autism, now it's 1 in 50!). In any case, a young officer and his wife are in this fancy toy store one day and dad puts this Gund Polar Bear (looked a lot like this guy) in front of our son's face and suddenly our baby started laughing and giggling and reaching for it. We knew we had to buy it but the price tag was quite high for this young couple--but of course we did. I'd never forgotten that moment--the very first &#34;toy&#34; he loved (there were very few after that but were a few more). Not sure where that fellow landed after all those moves but now he's part of our family again all dressed up in some red. I'm sure there's a grandchild in my future someday that may give all of us another round of loving laughter and giggling but perhaps without the autism but no matter--this fellow brings joy. He's so soft and adorable!
