{Cougar of the Week}

About two weeks ago, Bailey was "Cougar of the Week" for her class.

We got a big cougar paw that we had to decorate with pictures and everything all about Bailey for her teacher to display in the classroom. Bailey got to take it to school and tell her class all about her. It was a lot of fun decorating and making the paw!

At the end of the week, she brought it back home (now on display in her room!).

Not only did she bring home her Cougar Paw that Friday, but she also brought home her FIRST report card, which happened to be PERFECT! All E's (exceptional), and she has passed off ALL of her Kindergarten benchmarks for the year! Such an accomplishment is no small feat, and must be celebrated! This past Wednesday we had "Special Bailey Day." She had breakfast with her two friends, Ty and Kolten, and their Kindergarten teachers (we bid on it at the Silent Auction at the Sock Hop). Then when she came home from school I had homemade sugar cookies with frosting (her favorite) for a snack, and then we went out to dinner with the Gift Certificate she got from her report card. Guh and Papa Leseberg sent Bailey this beautiful dress as a reward (she reminds me of Snow White in it!). And to top it all off after dinner, she got to meet her newest-two-day-old cousin, Jacob Stewart!

Welcome, Baby Jacob!
