The poor boy had a difficult night last... I brought him and Evie to junior high youth group at the building last night. At 730 it was definitely time for Evie to go to bed but Noah had had a good nap that day and not much time with daddy so I let him stay and one of the lady leaders would bring him home. At like 815 Terry called and said to get my nursing skills ready b/c Noah had been stung by a wasp =(. It was strange b/c he didn't cry at all while Terry was on the phone but he sure did when they got home. On his left forearm there was a little red, swollen bite. I cleaned it off, iced it, put cortisone and a band-aid on it and put the boy to bed.
What happened was Terry was taking the trash out the back door of the building and when he turned to come back in there were several wasps trying to attack him. He grabbed a stick and fought them off and got the door closed. When he came around front, Noah was crying in the arms of his Sunday night (high school youth group night) 8th grade babysitter, Kenzi. There must be a nest of some sort in the door or around there and one of the wasps came inside and stung Noah, who always sticks close to daddy. He cried and Kenzi being right there, helped him out. She said she thought he was more scared than hurt b/c the wasp was still on his arm twitching around and he of course didn't know what to do. So she swatted it off him and took him outside. Terry brought him right home and the lady leaders where nice enough to clean and lock up the building.
Today Noah remembers the whole thing but doesn't complain of pain. He says his band-aid is a watch. =)
