So, here are the instructions.

1. Push the play button in the square screen below.

2. Watch me.

3. Love me.

4. Have some play-doh cake.

5. Go buy me a cool toy.

Love,

Buchela.

Addis's Gravatar Buchila sounds so sweet hearing him talking to you in Amharic. Yemi you are a good example to all Ethiopians, keep up the good work.

Nancy's Gravatar That is fabulous! It is nice to see him live and animated. He is so, so cute Yemi. Love that you speak to him in Amharic and that he is learning it.

Gifti's Gravatar Happy Birthday to GrandMa again, and still in aww from the cuteness of this vidio :-).

Mimi... greetings my fellow NGS alum! Indeed I am a product of NGS... partly ofcourse as I went somewhere else for high school. Wasn't it a trip to have gone to that school? Lots of memories.....

Yemi my hats off to you for managing to teach Buchela Amharic when you are the only one who speaks it around him most of the time. Don't you have a cousin who also lives near you? If so, I hope she helps out in speaking to him in Amharic. And when Dinbit is old enough, Buchela will learn even more when he teaches his little sister how to speak in Amharic.

Just curious... has Buchela figured out that his Mom and Dad speak different languages to him? Does he respond in English to his Dad and in Amharic to you? Wouldn't it be awsome if Buchela manages to speak fluent English, Amharic, and Manderin (Chinese) by the time he is a little bit older? Tall order indeed, but it sounds to me that you are one dedicated mother who might just make that happen.....

Happy communications to you all..... in any language!

Mariye's Gravatar Was laughing out loud seeing Buchela devour his cake. He's so sweet...

Happy birthday Grandma.

mesi's Gravatar ohh he is so sweet!

hen's Gravatar Your son is just too cute... oh I could just eat him up. More videos of buchie speaking Amharic, please....
# Posted By hen | 8/31/08 4:28 PM
Yemi's Gravatar Oromay! Lol. He will soon quote you a fair price:)

Mimi, yes that is my voice on the video.

Gifiti, there are two people who speak in Amharic to him, my cousin and I.

95% of the time, I speak in Amharic to him. But sometimes, when we are all together with his father, I slip in a little English here and there for the sake of family communication.

He knows his father doesn't speak Amharic so he speaks to him in English mostly and speaks to me in Amharic mostly.

Nowadays, he is starting to mix in some Chinese also.

Meheret's Gravatar I have been away for a while but this is the first thing I saw and just had to say that it is the cutest thing ever. I love his Amharic, can I borrow him r a while?
