She looks so innocent, doesn't she? Don't be fooled. Especially if you are an insect. Yesterday, we came home from a playdate and Gabby quickly began busying herself near her table as I put things away. I noticed her crawling around under her table - I assumed she had dropped a crayon or something. But then she came over to me saying "uh, oh" holding out her hand and saying "pa" (which in Gabby language means "poubelle"/garbage). She often finds tiny crumbs on the floor and wants to throw them into the garbage, so I still did not think anything of this, but since she was persistently pointing under the table, I decided I would help her find whatever tiny piece of trash was disturbing her organized mind.What I came to find was none other than a suffering bee - a hornet no less - right where she had been focusing her attention on the ground. I quickly checked her for any signs of a sting, but she appeared unharmed. I have no idea where this wasp came from, but I can only assume that our invincible daughter discovered it and decided it was garbage, pinching it to near death in her attempts to pick it up. (See crime scene in photo above.) While I am certainly glad that she did not get stung, it also worries me to have such fearless child. Perhaps I have made the bees in her book seem too happy and fun....

That is funny. This picture is so cute and I love her shoes!
I can completely picture Gabby doing this. I also love her shoe and headband.
Whoa! I'd like to wait until she's a little older before we find out if she's allergic to bee venom. Close call. [Hmm -- Wondering if I should buy that cute book about a bee that becomes friends with a little boy...]
