Yesterday we were playing outside in the backyard and Logan went over to his water table to put his boat in and start playing. I looked over and didn't see anything in the water so I let him do his thing. (I try to always check for bugs before he starts playing) Well, a few minutes later he came over to me and was rubbing his fingers against his thumb on his left hand. I thought it was just because his hand was wet but I looked over at the water table and saw a giant wasp! WHAT!?
I jumped up and looked at Logan's thumb and it was red, swollen and had a little red mark on the inside. I felt TERRIBLE. He didn't even cry!!! I called the doctor to see what they recommended. The nurse said to see if he would hold something cold and give him Benadryl if he seemed irritated. Lucky I had a smoothie snack that I had left in the freezer accidentally, so I gave it to L and he held it for about 20 minutes. After that the swelling went down and he didn't seem bothered at all. I can't believe he didn't cry! Such a tough guy. Now, ask me about a diaper change... and that's a different story! ;)
