getting ready for school

so j. and i have switched our schedule around a bit so that i drop ella off at school and he picks her up.  i was really having a hard time getting to work early enough to leave by 11:20 am to pick her up from school, and j. was disliking having to get himself and elenora ready in the morning to get to school on time, so this works better for everyone.  now elenora arrives on time (the teachers remarked "elenora, you're here early today!" and i said "that's because it's mommy dropping her off" and they all laughed a knowing laugh) with her hair brushed (j. would give her hair 15 brushes and then send her off no matter how many tangles were left).  god bless j. for being such an amazing daddy, but goodness she looks better now!

anyhow, here we are getting ella dressed and teeth brushed before school.
