Celebrating 2008, The Year of Invisible Posts — It’s Not Your Eyes
Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

Back at the Ranch
After a few quick errands, we were back at the house and happily chowing down on chicken dinosaurs. Even Alice seemed happy to be home again.
Back home, the kids play in the living room.
O.T. Wednesday
Occupational Therapy has now been moved to Wednesdays and for the second week in a row, I almost forgot about the switch. I guess it’s getting hard to change my routines now, too. Anyway, we had another tantrum as we arrived at O.T., but once it subsided Porter had a good session working on alternate transitions to try to ameliorate his increase in tantrums and meltdowns.
Porter prepares to do his sit down work after mastering this week’s obstacle course.
The Blue Pool
While I was off drinking Belgian beers - um, I mean working - the kids were at their grandparents’ house. Grandma got out the blue wading pool and put it out on the new deck for a day in the sun.
Alice working on her poses, as she lounges in the pool.
Waving at the sun.
While Porter spent much os his time flying a styrofoam plane.
And with the giant rubber duckie.

Eventually Porter crashed on Grandpa, where he rested quietly for quite some time but never actually fell asleep.
