Have you seen this thing on CNN.com?

It's about a transgendered seven year-old.

From my perspective (that is, the perspective of a caretaker of five year-olds whose parents are shocked at bumped knees and paper cuts), the real intrest here is the parents.  I mean, way to go to parents who take their childrens' seriously stated needs and desires seriously.  Way to go to parents making a real effort to be flexible for the benefit of their kid.  Way to go, in short, for understanding that a first-grader is a person too.

It's 9pm.  I'm knackered.  Tomorrow is the last day of my first week with the Kindergarten Crocodiles.  I'd forgotten how labor-intensive it all is.
Nighty Nightmares, everyone.
