When my younger sister was a toddler, she wouldn't talk at all. She spoke "gibberish", but refused to talk to anyone until she was given a smokey bear stuffed doll for her second birthday. Her eyes lit up and "Mokey Bear" broke the ice. After that doll came into her life, she didn't stop talking. Today she owns her own advertising company and teaches college....Thanks Mokey.
