A fragile peace

Slowly, ever so slowly, Owen has begun to deal with the continued presence of his sister. Perhaps it's because after months of lobbying he has realized that Sue and I are pretty resolute on this one: the baby stays.
Why, only yesterday he gave Abby a checkup with his little pretend doctor's kit.
And even more surprising, he did not, upon finishing the checkup, announce that Abby was beyond curing and would have to be put down.
