The Emmazon

Despite having ADHD, our daughter, Emma Kate, age 6, has a very healthy self esteem.

She lives in an emmacentric world, which is kind of fun to be a part of. Becuase she has no verbal filter or inhibitions, life is full of energy and logical conclusions that are surprisingly valid, yet sometimes absurd.

Our latest challenge is to convince her that Large South American Rain forest is not named in her honor. She is is telling everyone we are going to the Emmazon. In an effort to show her that it was the Amazon, not Emmazon, I googled 'Amazon'....which of course produced a bazillion web pages, none of which had anything to do with rain forests, just books.

Not waiting for a second google search, she jumped off my lap to declare victory and tell her sisters that they, indeed, are going to visit her private rain forest, the Emmazon.
