How Bayla got her candy heart, or parallels with Raggedy Ann


You may not realize that Bayla is a lot like Raggedy Ann. Raggedy spreads good cheer to all she meets, just like Bayla. What's more, when Raggedy falls in a bucket of paint, the painter's mother cleans her up and re-stuffs her. While she is open, a candy heart with the words "I Love You" is inserted, and she is stitched up, good as new. As any dolly aficionado knows, Raggedy has a heart with the motto stamped on her chest, right over the candy. Bayla needed a new heart, and had this holey thing flapping around in her body. The painter's mother is actually Dr. Mavroudis, who did the hard work. Her "new" heart is complete, very sweet, and she is stitched up, good as new. The scar is her mark of love--that we love her, and always will.
