Avdi and E drove to IL to pick up Y at camp, while I stayed with S (and K).  S was on his best behavior, not one tantrum, and he even volunteered to do some chores, and helped me out.  Y arrived, and it’s been peaceful and pleasant all afternoon, while A worked.  I baked challah, prepared dinner, and cleaned up around the house.  We all seem to be getting along so far, and everyone seems to be respecting A’s work boundaries.  I like to think my presence plays a small part.
