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.

Wonder Pets

Categories: News, Humor — J @ 10:59 am

When I was in Seattle this week, I got to see a lot of shows that John and Henry liked but I hadn’t seen before. So this morning, I was searching our cable’s On Demand for some of those shows to see if Porter might like them, too. One in particular was a huge hit with him: The Wonder Pets. The Wonder Pets consist of three animals who live in a pre-school and when the phone — a tin can actually — rings, it’s usually an animal in trouble. When that happens, the Wonder Pets spring into action to save them. The show is done as a musical opera or operetta style where most of the dialogue is sung. It’s pretty funny and Porter is clearly smitten. There are only two episodes he’s seen, one about rescuing a dolphin in Hawaii and the other rescuing a chimp in space! But we’ve seen them about half a dozen times so far this morning.

Turtle Tuck, Linny the Guinea-Pig and Ming-Ming Duckling.
And yes, you read that right. The turtle’s name is Tuck!
I may have to change his icon.
