Sonny loves nature because it’s the one place he can scream at full volume, dig a hole for no reason, and chase frogs like it’s his full-time job. Every new terrain he visits he says, “Let’s move here.” He thinks trees are his personal jungle gym, and clouds are just God’s doodles. Indoors, he’s a feral animal. Outdoors, he’s a National Geographic episode in flip-flops. Nature isn’t just fun for him, it’s his entire personality.
Sonny’s favorite animal changes faster than a playlist on a road trip. Today it’s a horse, majestic, freeing, and they let him live out his cowboy fantasy. A minute from now, a dog, because loyalty, fun annd cuddles are all solid priorities. Next minute a snake because they’re awesome, mind their own business annd can freak out adults. Basically, he’s into animals that either adore him, restore him, or could potentially be illegal in a school backpack.
His favorite activity? Anything that could cause a minor injury and a great story. Riding a dirt bike to the creek through the pastures, climbing trees that definitely weren’t designed for climbing, catching animals that would prefer not to be caught, and pretending to teach wilderness survival even though he still needs help zipping his jacket. Basically, he’s living his best life in a Discovery Channel blooper reel.
