The Lady Bug

We decided that today we were going to go for a drive to see all the pretty trees, stop by a park to eat our lunch, and then go to Six Flags for awhile. Well I went out to clean up the van a little before we left, and Olivia came out with me. After a few minutes she decided to go back inside with Daddy. All of a sudden she started screaming. She runs over to me, and I picked her up to see what the problem was. When I looked at her face, there it was, a lady bug in her nose. I tried to get her to blow air out of her nose, but she didn't understand what I was talking about. Instead she rubbed at her nose. Well I thought that the lady bug had gotten out and flew away, but I think when she rubbed it she just pushed him the rest of the way in there. When we were getting in the van to leave she started screaming and holding her face, then her throat. We called the hospital to see if we should bring her in. They contacted our doctors office, and they said that if it was hurting her to bring her in so they could get it out. By the time we got the call back we had gotten her mind off of it, and she had stopped screaming. We decided that it must have gone the rest of the way down, and didn't take her. She was fine until we went to try to put her to bed. I think she was overtired and just scared from the whole thing. We laid on the sofa with her until she fell asleep, then put her in her bed. This was definitely an interesting day. I feel so sorry for her because she is so scared now. Hopefully the bugs will all die soon, and she will have forgotten about it by spring.

Poor Olivia. Who knew Lady bugs were attack bugs?
