Mosquitos and Bees

So the other day we (Mama, Daddy, Grandpa D, Grandma C, and I) were outside and I was playing on my climber while Mama, Daddy, and Grandpa D were putting together a storage shed. I really love to play on it... open the door, close the door, open the door... convince someone to put me on the slide... Well, then the nasty mosquitoes decided it was time to come out. Sadly, one of them decided to bite me right under my eye (any closer, and she'd probably have got my eye!?!). No big deal, right... I'd just have a bite that would itch and itch and itch... except this time I got a great big giant welt! It made my eye swell up! Just take a look...


Mama took this on the good day when it wasn't so swollen. The next day it was swollen so much I could hardly peek out. So, Daddy called the doctor and was told to give me benadryl and keep an eye on the eye (haha!). I had a few doses of benadryl and my eye got better. I hope I never get a black eye cause that was no fun looking out of one little google (as Grandma R calls eyes).

Well, because of my reaction to the mosquitoes this time, Grandpa D said I should watch out for bees. I was watching for them, but I'm not even sure what a "B" looks like! But, Mama was holding me outside one morning and this cute little black and yellow bug landed on my hand. Granted... I thought it was cute till I closed my hand around it and it stung me on the palm! OUCH!! So, I now know what a bee looks like. Grandpa D got the stinger out and Mama put some baking soda on it and held me till I felt better. Luckily, I didn't seem to have a reaction to the bee sting and from now on I think I'll just stay away from them!
