67. We headed to the beach to blow the cobwebs away and picked up my nephew on the way. I love seeing The Boy and his cousin racing around on the beach.
68. I presented The Boy with an engineering challenge after school and I love the look on his face here, the set of his jaw, the chubby double chin and the four eyebrows in concentration.
69. Mondays and Tuesdays are mummy-guilt time as The Boy has to come up to my classroom after school while I do my work, and it makes me feel horrendous. This is him running off some steam on the playground.
70. Reading his weekly newspaper, 'First News'.
71. A dreadful night for The Boy, he has a horrendous sore throat and cough; it sounds like he has bronchitis. Unsurprisingly he was off school today, and when we went upstairs at one point, I found him lying in his bed reading a book, until it got all too much for him!
72. Again The Boy was off school, and we managed to have a game of Boxes, my favourite childhood game.
73. Rubbish day again; The Boy even begged not to go to circus skills! He's spent all day with absolutely no energy and so very tired.

The silhouette shot of the boys on the beach is delightful. There is so much fun and energy
Sarah MumofThree World says
Sorry to hear he's been poorly and hope he feels better today. Love the photo of The Boy with his cousin.
You shouldn't feel guilty about him being with you after school a couple of days a week. At least he's with you, I'm sure many parents would prefer that to their child being in after-school club or with a childminder.
Jo @sitstillmonkeys says
The beach shot of the boy and his cousin is awesome! bless him, poor boy. I hope he is better soon xx
TheBoyAndMe says

Steph @MisplacedBrit says
Beautiful beach shot!
How's he feeling now poor guy? I love the angle of the book shot but that's a horrible reason to be home.
Have a great weekend π
Helen C says
I love the beach shot with their silhouettes against the sun and the reading/sleeping one is great! Hope he's feeling better soon.

Oh bless him, hope he's feeling better soon. Adore that first shot, just stunning.
jenny paulin says
Oh dear the poor boy – he does not have much luck with his illnesses does he?
I adore the first photo what a great shot and I also love his concentraton face.
You shouldn't feel bad about him coming up to you after school twice a week, it gives him a chance to explore the grounds and have them all to himself and at least he is with you xx
TheBoyAndMe says
Actually this is the first Winter I've managed to keep the dreaded ear infections at bay! None so far. Last Winter/Spring he had 5 ear infections, slapped cheek, scarlet fever (twice), and gastroenteritis (twice). This Winter he's had a few sniffles and one sickness.
Angela says
Oh bless him, there's a lot going round at the moment isn't there. Hope he's feeling better soon.

Adore the beach shot – I am so jealous that you live so close to the coast.
Charlotte says
Those are all great photos, especially the first one, but oh gosh, I do hope your boy gets well soon, poor thing.
Verily Victoria Vocalises says
He really has been under the weather this week, bless him. I hope he feels better now. I love that beach shot π
Elaine Livingstone says
poor Boy, not having a great time illness wise.
I dont think hanging around at school will do him much harm, he can always have some of his own stuff to do with him.
We play boxes with pen and paper, never seen it as an actual game.
His concentration picture is brilliant.
Kate Fever says
Sorry to hear The Boy isn't feeling too well at the moment, there are some horrible bugs going around that just seem to linger! I used to love Boxes too π
life as our little family says
Oh bless him, you can really see in those last two pictures just how drained he is. I love the beach shot, as ever stunning capture. I chuckled a little bit at the book on his head shot until I read why #365 x
Kim Carberry says
Lovely photos!
I hope The Boys is feeling better now π
Munchies and Munchkins says
Love these photos of the boy.. I spotted him briefly at Blog Conf and it felt like I'd spotted someone famous as I'm so used to seeing his adorable face on here. I don't often find time to comment but I do love your pics. Hope you and sis/family are doing ok.xx
Stephanie says
Ah I hope he feels better this week, hate seeing them poorly. Your beach picture is great!
