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.

Watch Out For That Tree
Porter’s been watching a lot of George of the Jungle lately. So it was no surprise that he wanted to swing through the air and crash into trees at O.T. After all, it’s looks like fun when George does it.
George, George, George of the Jungle.
Lives a life that’s free.
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Watch out for that … tree!
Crayoning
No story here, just a cute picture — in my opinion — of Alice practicing her craft.

The Handmade Bracelet
A couple of weeks ago at Porter’s Occupational Therapy session, during his sit-down work, he made a beaded bracelet for Sarah. He was very excited to give it to her and he also wrapped up as a present for her and couldn’t wait to give it to Mommy.
“Mommy! I have a present for you!”
“Open it. Open it!”
“Look, Mommy, I made you a bracelet.”
Sarah tries on her new bracelet, made by Porter.
It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Super Porter!
Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? A plane? A frog?!?
“Not bird or plane or even frog. It’s just little ole me — Super Porter!”
Learning to fly.
Learning to turn while flying.
“Hey, this flying stuff is great!”
But with great power comes great responsibility.
“I’m so fast you’re puny camera can’t catch me.“
