A Bee Story

Poor Princess! Yesterday was a traumatic day for her. She went out with Daddy to the garden where he was picking tomatoes and she was picking sunflower seeds. Unfortunately a bumblebee was also interested in the sunflowers. It stung poor M on her little fingers, twice on two fingers, twice on another finger on her other hand. Her immediate reaction was to put her hurt fingers in her mouth but when she did that the bee went with it! So now M's screaming with a bee on her tongue stinging inside her mouth and around her lips and Daddy's yelling for help and it was all very awful. We brought her inside and administered Benedryl, Motrin and lots of Band-Aids and kisses and hugs. Poor little thing. And the saddest part was that she had to miss her very first day of preschool the next morning because she was feverish and tired. Hopefully that will be our last encounter with bees.
