First Sting

We had our first sting on either of the children today. It was traumatic for all of us! Andrew was on the deck and playing by the rail. Mom was down in the lawn. Andrew hit just the right spot and out came some wasps from their home. Andrew took a direct hit to the forehead. As the screaming began, I pushed him away from the nest and onto his bottom. Since our deck has no stairs, I had to run around the house, inside, and then out to get him. Needless to say, he was not happy with that wasp or with is mommy!

Ice and a baking soda paste seemed to relieve the pain.

It's now two weeks later and the site of the crime, our deck, is now under construction. The railing came down last weekend and steps will be added.
