About Us

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.

T-Ball Season Begins

Categories: Photos, Porter, Movies — J @ 1:43 pm

At O.T. yesterday, Porter was insistent that he be able to play baseball. Last year, his therapist, Theresa, got a tee ball set specifically for Porter. Apparently, it was time. It’s been sitting in the corner for months and week after week Porter has effectively ignored it … until this week, when it was all he could talk about. Baseball season is defintely upon us.

Hitting for the bleachers.

Here’s a Quicktime movie Porter’s tee ball swing, which as you can see still needs some work. You can either download the movie to your desktop or just click on the link to play it in your web browser (assuming your web browser has the quicktime plug-in installed).
