We received the bear today and it is so perfect for Rylee.
I showed it to my husband and he ended up pulling it out of the box for Rylee to show it to her.
She kept hugging it & staring at it - and kept jingling the bell.
It was so cute. I took a bunch of photos and will email you one...............
I just held it and played the song and it brought back all the memories
of me sleeping with my bear to that song each night.
I'm so excited I found a cute bear with this song.
You were the only person I found in the entire world with this option.........
and I searched for a very long time on-line...............
I cannot thank you enough for this...............
