Baby's first bee sting
Anya's had quite a week so far. First she had her first pavement head
smack, going forehead first into the parking lot. And then today she was stung by a bee...inside the house! I don't know how the bee got in, but it must have been stunned by the cat and left for dead when Anya decided to pick it up. I gave her an ice pack and when I saw her finger start to turn even more into a sausage I gave her a small dose of benadryl. She actually reacted really well, only crying briefly after the sting. She cried for longer and harder today when I wouldn't let her rip up my book! So I'm glad to know she doesn't seem to be allergic and now I know what to expect the next time. Here she is just a few minutes after the sting, enjoying her sunglasses.

It's been the week of accidents. My daughter burned her finger (not badly, but it's still red a few days later) on a stainless steel pot that wasn't completely cooled. I was holding her and she usually doesn't lunge for the stove, but she did this time for some reason, and that's when it happened.
Anyhow, poor little sausage finger!
