Dear Jimmy,
They arrived quickly!
Ordered Saturday. Arrived Sunday morning.
You were so happy. You could hardly wait to open the box.
But you did wait for us to open the box with you.
You were so happy with your night vision goggles.
So happy, you took it to the park.
You had it with you while you climbed that massive park castle.
Did you need it to be bashed about?
Did you need to attract all that attention from the other curious children struggling with FOMO?
But you did listen to me.
We kept the goggles in the car while you played.
You just played.
I remember when I struggled with that too.
You charged the batteries and you took the goggles out at night to find the animals.
You searched all around the bush of our home away from home.
You marvelled at how much you could see.
You didn't find any creatures.
And we went back inside.
We spent another 5min on the deck.
Sam was on the screen playing a game. Happy.
So happy, you went to join the screen time.
I kept waiting on the deck and kept searching with the goggles.
Jimmy! Jimmy!
Did you see the wallaby hopping about?
Jimmy! Jimmy!
Did you see it looking back this way?
Jimmy! Jimmy!
Don't you want to see this?
Jimmy?
The dangers are less outside like we thought.
It seems to me there are dangers - more... inside.
"Adventure's out there!"

to be continued...
