A Bee in your Bonnet!

Believe it or not, Sophia Claire had a bee in her bonnet today!! Well, close enough! It was a bee in her stroller! We were strolling along in Cameron Park enjoying the nice fall weather, when Sophia began to scream in pain. I ran around to see her anguished face and noticed her red cheek-something had obviously stung her. I then glanced to the right and there it was--a great big bumble bee! I grabbed her up out of the seat and put some cold water on it, then called Grandaddy (also a doctor) for advice. She was already calming down by that point and it was all over. She's such a resilient little thing. Now, what was a very puffy swollen cheek just has a slight indication of the incident. She's sound asleep in her bed now....sweet dreams, baby Sophia.
