Aww, the difference between Alyssa and Kylie. I don't know if it's the age or personality...maybe a little of both.
Last week, Kylie was walking in some ground cover in a parking lot. I went over to get her out and saw a ton of bees buzzing around. So I said, "Come on Ky, you need to get out, there's bees in there." I got her out of there and as soon as I put her back on the ground she started saying, "Ouch! Foot! Ouch" and was walking on her heel. So I put her in her carseat and took her shoes off and brushed them off thinking she must have had something in her shoe that was bothering her. Alyssa and Trevor were like, "Did she get stung by a bee?" And I kept saying, "No, no" thinking she would be crying more/harder if she had. But the rest of the way home (about 3 minutes) she was complaining, not really crying, kinda whimpering, saying "Ouch! Bee! Ouch!" Mark was home when we got home and as soon as I got her out of her carseat she was running saying, "Daddy! Bee! Foot! Ouch!" Mark looked a little confused so I said, "She's saying she got stung by a bee, but she didn't." I grabbed her and sat on the couch and decided to look more carefully at her foot and low and behold, it was all swollen around a little red dot, where a bee had indeed, stung her.
Today, the kids were swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Campbell's house. Alyssa got out of the pool and walked over to me. All of a sudden she was like, "Ouch! I stepped on a rock!" Then she picked up her foot and saw a bee under it and SCREAMED HER HEAD OFF for a minute or so. Later, after she calmed down a bit, she was like, "I thought I had stepped on a rock, because Grandpa had told us to be careful of little rocks on the ground and that they hurt to step on, and I was like, yeah that did hurt, but it was really no big deal, and then I saw the bee and realized I had been stung by a bee! And then it hurt really bad!"
Kylie won the bravery award. :-)

Hahaha, that is a great story! I love that "it didn't hurt that bad" until she realized what it was. Apparently nobody told Kylie you're supposed to milk more sympathy when you get stung by a bee! :)
that is hysterical!! we would have exactly the same outcome in our family if that situation were to happen. little one handles it like a tropper, bigger one screams so loud you would think an amputation was taking place!
So funny! My kids are the exact same way.
hahahaha i can defentely see that happening
It always hurts more when you see it! Sounds like you've had your fill of bee encounters for the summer.
That's pretty funny Laura. I've still never been stung (knock on wood). Hopefully if I ever do, I can be as brave as little Ky Ky.
