But as Mama explains in today's video, the strength of the antibiotics he is on is taking its toll and making him very tired so she has cut short his school day.
Francis, who is being treated for the serious bone infection osteomyelitis, didn't want to stay at home when the other kids were going to school, and had been doing full days but Mama Sue thought they were too much and he is, for now, on mornings only.
Mama gives a full update in her video filmed with a smiley Francis at her side.
He really does love his Mama, just like she loves him!
