68. Free! (It was a beautiful day in south Wales with temperatures reaching 15°C. So we headed down to the barrage with Mr. TBaM's bike and the tag-along. The Boy absolutely loves cycling with daddy, and he is honestly screaming in glee in this photograph.)
69. Warning (I should have realised when he didn't want to play in the garden that something wasn't quite right with him. A headache all day in school and plenty of sobbing after school meant a rough night and buying a new bottle of calpol.)
70. Ill (The Boy was off school today with a trip to the doctor on the cards; third bout of ear infections this Winter, with tonsillitis added in for 'good' measure. I've not seen him so ill for a long time.)
71. Swish (We managed to do some craft after school using one of the silk painting kitsfollow that we'd bought from Baked By Me. A bargain at £2.00 from £8.99!)
72. 40.5 (Dreadful day and night. Horrendous. I was called out of school early because my mum was so worried about The Boy's temperature, and then that night he spiked at 40.5°C with a fever. It took a full two hours, both nurofen and calpol, a cold flannel, no duvet in the cover, and a fan on full pelt, to get his temperature under 39°C, and for him to manage to attempt sleep. At 2.30am he ended up in our room with me holding him all night for him to be able to sleep.)
73. On The Mend (The Boy was definitely beginning to feel better after the dreadfulness of the night before, we even managed to attempt some craft in the afternoon which resulted in a cheeky look for his lordship.)
74. Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer Do! (The first daisy of the year picked for mummy, I came home from the park that a school-friend's birthday party was held in with a pocket full of them. So pleased to see my little man out and about with a little colour in his cheeks.)

Up and down hey?! Temperature spikes are awful and he looks so poorly in bed 🙁 Love the first pic though – how happy can one little chap look?! 🙂
TheBoyAndMe says
He was beside himself with glee cycling with daddy, I can't believe the contrast to later in the week.
Karen says
Glad the boy is on the mend. He definitely looks much happier in the last two photos x
TheBoyAndMe says
I spoke too soon as our 365 this week will show.
ClearlyBex says
Poor The Boy…. I dread my kids being poorly, fortunately of which *touches wood* they are not! Neither kid has ever had ear infection as yet, worst has been the chicken pox. I hope he's fighting fit again soon. Loving the photo from the bike ride though!
TheBoyAndMe says
Ear infections are dreadful, people don't think that they're very serious and of course they're not, but they are so dreadfully painful. We've had another horrendous week, hoping better health is on its way soon.
Kate @ Family Fever says
Poor little boy – what a shame. Glad to hear he is on the mend, and lovely to see the smiley pics at the end 🙂
TheBoyAndMe says
I spoke too soon, he wasn't better. I'm hoping this will be the week we see an improvement.
Welshmumof3boys says
I'm so glad the boys better. Love his cheeky smile 🙂 x
Jo Laybourn says
Oh no! Horrible when they are ill and their temperatures rises so high! He looked so happy on that bike ride too! x
TheBoyAndMe says
I know, can you believe the contrast in the week?
Ruth (geekmummy) says
Glad to see The Boy looking cheerier in the later pictures, poor thing looks so poorly when his temperature was so high.
TheBoyAndMe says
He really was, I've not seen him so poorly in a very long time.
Emmys Mummy says
Poor love – I hate it when they are that poorly. Hoping his is feeling better now and can et back on his bike again soon
TheBoyAndMe says
We've had another rubbish week, I'm looking forward to fresh air and no germs!
Charly Dove says
Gosh that's a seriously scary temperature. He looks so poorly too The Boy too, I do hope he's feeling better now. Those last two photos are just priceless!
TheBoyAndMe says
It was horrendous, I was very close to phoning NHS Direct or an ambulance if I couldn't get it down. We've had another rubbish week but hoping for an improvement soon.
Sarah MumofThree World says
He looks so poorly! It's really scary when they get like that. Love all his happy pictures though.
Emma T says
That first photo is magic. It's horrible when children are ill and so wiped out. Hopefully he's now back to full strength.
TheBoyAndMe says
Nope another dreadful week, I figure it can't get much worse to be honest.
Emma T says
Oh no. Horrible when things hit them so hard
over40andamumofone says
Stunning photos, remember my brother and continual ENT issues when we were kids – not fun
TheBoyAndMe says
I can't wait until his ear infections leave him alone, he's plagued so badly.
Emma @ Tales of a Greenwood says
I am so glad the boy is on the mend, so awful to see him so ill, funny how they bounce back so quickly. S picked me my first daisy of the year today as well, such a sweet picture
TheBoyAndMe says
He bounced back up and then hit even lower again! Looking forward to more daisy moments soon, rather than calpol and nurofen.
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
So sorry The Boy has been so poorly, it's awful when they're ill 🙁 That first photo on the bike is lovely, such a wonderful expression. And the last one with the daisy is beautiful x
TheBoyAndMe says
Thanks, it's been quite heartbreaking. I'm hopeful that his health is back on the way up again now after another dodgy week.
NotMyYearOff says
Poor boy. Hope he's a lot better now. I love that first pic on the bike. So much joy on his face 🙂
TheBoyAndMe says
He really was having the time of his life.
Jaime Oliver says
awww the boy did look very poorly on that photo, i do hope is 100% again now honey? x
TheBoyAndMe says
Definitely not, another horrendous week! Really hoping he gets better soon.
Michelle Twin Mum says
Fabulous the colour has returned, yes it is awful when they are properly poorly. mich x
TheBoyAndMe says
I spoke too soon Mich, another rubbish week healthwise.
jenny paulin says
I am so pleased that the boy is much better now. it is just the worse thing when they are so poorly like that 🙁
I love the bike photo – his face is a picture! I also love how he has framed his face in Fridays photo and today's holding the daisy is very sweet x
Rollercoaster Mum says
Sounds like a rough week but glad to hear the Boy is on the mend again now- the good thing is they seem to grow out of these illnesses. I love that first picture – he does look sooo happy and I am intrigued by the silk painting.
Susan says
The poor darling does look really ill. How hideous for both of you. Good to see him so much better by week's end
Kriss MacDonald says
There's nothing worse that worrying about one's little one when they have a high fever. You can see from the expressions on the face how he's been up and down but luckily finally on the mend.
Elaine Livingstone says
Nice to see the happy craft photo, a relief for you after the night before. Your mum must have been worried to call you out of work, glad he is on the mend. He does seem to enjoy the tag a long, lets hope it gives him an appetite for a bike as an adult.
Kirsty - Hijacked By Twins says
Arrr hope he's feeling better now. It's awful having a poorly one. I love seeing all the sunny outdoor pictures everyone is sharing #project365 x
Honey says
Beautiful photos! x
The Reading Residence says
Poor the Boy. Sounds like he had a rough week, poor thing. Hope he's brighter now x
chantelle hazelden says
Glad he is on the mend, a fab set of pics even when he was poorly x
Menai says
So glad he is feeling better – that cheeky look when crafting must have been a huge relief. We always try to avoid A&E too. I tried for more outdoor pictures this week as I always love yours – thanks for the inspiration!
Actually Mummy... says
Poor boy 🙁
I do love his blanket though – did you make it?
MumLee says
Hope boy is back to good health… Beautiful smile he has got!

Sorry to hear the boy has been poorly, we have had it here too this week.
I really want his blanket – it's gorgeous and that cheeky smile is infectious!
Cathy Glynn says
The boy has so many gorgeous facial expressions, I love the one on the bike x
Vicky says
Ear infections seem to be everywhere at the moment, really horrendous. Glad he's on the mend – love that crochet blanket, too!
Fivegoblogging says
I am so pleased to see the boy smiling by the end of the week. That fever was quite something! Love the tag along photo – that is a picture of excitement!

Mummy of Two says
Oh dear he really does look poorly in the sleeping picture. So glad to see he is feeling better and I hope he is getting back to his old self now (P.S loving the new look blog!)
OneDad3Girls says
I hope he's starting to feel better and hope you are fighting fit.
He has such a beautiful smile on the tag along bike.
TheBoyAndMe says
He really was enjoying himself a great deal, hope he's recovered soon enough so he can go on it again.
