I don’t know where he unearthed this pair of binoculars from but he was no doubt very smittened with it.
For the past few days, he was using it to watch his favourite television programs and obviously found the amplified version of his fave cartoon characters rather amusing.
Then this morning when he wanted to go for a walk, he decided to bring it along and used it to check out birds, aeroplanes, insects on the ground and even buildings around.
I didn’t realised that a useless pair of binoculars was so much fun to a kid. But I have to say I really enjoyed myself just watching him going around looking at everything innocently through those lenses.
And through his untainted sight, I realised one more thing. That there are really quite a lot of things around me that I’ve not bothered with. I only look but I do not really see.
I’m like you. I see quite alot of what’s going on, but I have no opinion about it. Whatever, I think. And I don’t mean it in a nasty way– more in a what is, is way.
ally: I think we get caught up with our own lives we just don’t take notice of what’s around us so intensely.

Er… I used to lug my mini binoculars around when I was younger. It’s very fun to see ppl upclose from afar… like sneaking on them!
DR: I hope you didn’t use the bino to look into bedrooms…hahaha…

in some ways being a mom is like being a child again. Seeing the world through they eyes of a child…marvelling in the smallest things. Alix has been asking for a pair of binocs.And now that you tell me that Gavin really likes using it, I’ll get her one.
carrie: Ya, get her one. She’ll have some fun with it!

I own two of those binoculars for birding. I had seen beautiful and colorful birds. It was so interesting and fun to do. Now, my brothers use the binoculars not to watch birds but to look at beautiful women in bikini on the beach. Silly boys!
Belle: Haha…boys will be boys…
