A Work of Art

Well, it finally happened. Tate received his first bee sting. He was playing outside on the swing set with his cousin when he came running in the house screaming and grabbing at his ear and rubbing his cheek. Through the tears we figured out that he was stung by a bee. Or possibly two. Tate is convinced that there were two bees, one that got his cheek and one that got him in the ear. His ears starting getting swollen and he was itching his nose like crazy. I was worried that he might be allergic to bee stings. With all of his other allergies, I was was somewhat worried about another allergy to worry about. So, we quickly gave him some Benadryl, had the Epi-pen ready and soon enough Tate calmed down.

In all the craziness, I forgot to take a picture to document the whole even. Well, I actually wouldn't have taken a picture. But, the next day Tate was telling his Grandma about the bee sting and told her that he would draw her a picture so she could see what happened. He then asked me to get him some paper and some crayons so he could document the even. This is what he came up with.
I love this picture. It is the first picture that he has actually drawn that looks like something. I was quite impressed and a little bit proud of our artist. I of course had to take a picture of the picture so I could send it to his dad at work. At least we know have something to document the bee sting, which is still being talked about on a regular basis.
