Butterfly Bit You!

Carson was outside playing until he came running inside crying and holding his finger. His tearful words told me that a "butterfly bit you" and wanted me to "kiss it right there." I kissed his finger and I asked, "a butterfly bit you?" He cried, YES!! I went outside to assess the situation. Carson pointed to the lavender bush full of bees and repeated, "butterfly." Ahh-haa! I took a look at his finger again. This time I noticed a little red dot and came to realize that he had been stung by a bee.

I have never been stung by a bee so I didn't really know what to do. I didn't see a stinger. His finger was just a little red with a red dot on it. There was no swelling and the redness eventually disappeared. He is going to be fine!
