a portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2016

Jimmy: Posing on the tennis court.

The reason Jimmy stopped going to school when he did was because Michael had some leave saved up, so Daddy is taking a staycation, I'm still at work, and Jimmy is at home with Daddy. Or on the tennis court, playing with tennis balls, and posing for Daddy.

Ok, so Jimmy might have just been taking a rest, soaking up the sun as Michael took this photo, because...

Unfortunately, Jimmy was a little unwell the week Michael took this photo of our boy. We're not sure that it was hand-foot-&-mouth disease, but he had a fair few of the symptoms. He was mostly fine and bouncing around, but he had a fever and cough and runny nose and what might have been a tiny blister in his mouth. And HFMD was at his school the week before. Anyway... He's well and truly back to full health.
