I'm the frazzled single mom of three great kids -- one of whom happens to be transgender. All three are adopted from Guatemala. To ensure constant chaos, we have two dogs and three cats. We've moved 4 times in 10 years, and are hoping that the roots will take this time. Our life is uncommon, and our day-to-day journey is filled with craziness that only seems to happen to us. My friends say I should write a book, but this mama is too tired!

Caley and the wig
Cole has chosen a female name -- Caley. It's pronounced like Kay-lee. The turning point for him to want a "girl name" was on Saturday when I bought him a wig. He had some girl clothes, but was hesitant to wear them outside of the house. He has a buzz cut that does not look at all girlish. He asked for a wig, so we went out and bought him one. Stopping here to say OMG -- do you have any idea how much wigs cost? Hoo-boy. So we got a fairly decent looking one for just under $200. As soon as we got it, he put it on and will not take it off -- he now feels okay to wear his girl clothes outside. He wanted to go get girl shoes immediately. So now the picture is complete -- girl clothes, girl hair, girl shoes and girl name. He couldn't be happier. I'm still a little dazed by the whole thing. The great thing has been that the people I have told have been really supportive. I'll post some pix when my internet service is back up.
