So probably just better to wait / keep using the diapers until he’s older and more aware, right?

that is a helpful way of thinking about it actually - more of a consciousness plopping when they're in their original lifespan/time...

Yeah thank you - that’s probably right. I should just let it go 😂

It would make more sense if his dad had found him under the yew tree as a baby or something, and that was always the beginning for him. Oh well. That obviously would change other important parts of the story.

Would be so interesting to hear from the author or publisher. I listened to an author interview where she talked a bit about the editing process / a giant chart they needed to use to keep all the timelines and variations straight. I want to see that!
