*giggles* Thank you! I got into the idea that the child of two stuffed toys might have to be assembled, and then there needed to be a transition into personhood. I'm glad it felt right.

(On reflection, I suppose what they had in mind might start working its way in very early, with the kid watching parts of his own assembly with interest, but that... might have to be a different sort of story, at least if I were writing it.)
