Otherwise known as Ella the Great

It's the quiet ones you gotta watch. Ella is good about 95% of the time. She spends 3% involved in the fray, and 2% throwing a huge fit about being unjustly asked to help out around the house. It worries me a little that her progress reports from school all have very nice things to say, and very few things to improve. Maybe it makes me a pessimist, but I am less worried about Jilly because I know what she is likely to do that will get her in trouble. I am afraid that this sweet wholesome little girl will do something that will completely shock and horrify. That is a joke, she really is a good little girl, who has a big heart, and does the right thing most of the time. Good thing too, because mom only has so much ability to keep an eye on things, and there are a few others taking up the slack.
