stung!

The Young Prince had his first bee sting this morning while at preschool.

And with a bang!

Details are sketchy as nobody saw the culprit, but he was stung twice, probably by a wasp or a yellowjacket. I can still see the sting marks on his arm.

When I got to his classroom to pick him up at noon and the teachers told me, I asked him to show me. He looked at me and said, "Yes, Mommy, but it's all over now, ok?"

Well, okay then!

There was also no air conditioning in La Princesita's classroom today...nor in any of the classrooms of the same corridor of her elementary school. So they had their little Parents' Program today in the music room instead (giving each of us a carnation at the end of the show!) and then were excused for the day.

No A/C is a big deal today as we are under a Heat Advisory until Tuesday night, with heat indices to reach up to 110ºF (that is over 43ºC). Code Red air quality, so busses are free to ride. It's nasty...and it's not even August.

The other big news...my telenovela, Yo amo a Juan Querendón, is about to end (sob). I have drooled over Eduardo Santamarina now for a year and I will be in mourning come Monday June 23.

So the good:

1. Learning the Young Prince does not appear to be allergic to bees. Good to know.

2. Getting an impromptu "Girl's Date" with La Princesita thanks to no air conditioning.

3. I'd like to design an advanced/conversation course around this telenovela, however, so I guess I'm ready for it to end so that I'll just have to buy the disc set when it comes out!
