- Vincent (6 year old with PDD) winds the cooking timer, to the dismay of
big brother Brent (11 year old and autistic). Closer on the table is a
Lego creation by Vincent and the Fisher Price toy camera that he followed
Michael Bryant (the photographer) around with most of the evening.

- Brent LOVES to be spun around on his rear-end. He leans back a little
and has me (or whomever else will cooperate) apply the motion. Brent's
recently lost tooth is evident in this shot. I like the way my wife has
decorated the room, too.

- Here's Brent getting VERY excited during bath time. He can do a fair job
of washing most of himself, but still relies on cues for doing most of it.
By this time, the stress of having an unfamiliar person with us all evening
was showing. What may look like bubbles coming out of the bath is actually
WATER. The floor and I got soaked that night.

- Just about my favorite part of the day lies just between the end of
Brent's bath, and the beginning of helping him dry off. He's a little more
physically affectionate these days, but until recently, just about the only
affection Brent displayed was during this event of the day. It's a
tradition that he initiates, last between 30 seconds and 10 minutes... and
I LOVE it.
