Wow, I am amazed how Biruk has been picking up his English. So today my babysitter put the kids on the school bus. They get picked up by bus. They are enrolled in a pre-school that is free, mainly for disadvantaged children. Mind you most of the kids are foster children.
My babysitter inquires about the other boy that hasn't been on the bus lately. Bus driver says "well he was in foster care but now he moved back with his dad. He continues "He was in foster care just like Amira and Biruk are in foster care. Biruk looks at him and says: Those are his words verbatim: I not foster care. I live here with my mommy and daddy. Amira lives here too. I from Ethiopia and my mommy picked me up from ET.
Wow, go Biruk, I was so proud of him when Kari told me the story. Gosh, I "hate" when people assume. I loves how my son sticks up for himself and his sister. On the downfall, Amira had an accident on the bus. Once again, Biruk told the bus driver "Amira needs to go to bathroom" busdriver said, she has to wait till she is home. The bus ride is an hour and Amira goes to the bathroom like a pregnant woman. Poor princess, she was so humiliated.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Biruk!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of him. Tell him good job for me. Also, I am so sad for Amira, tell her i am sorry and that it is not that big of a deal.
Love,

You tell him, little man! Poor little Amira.
That is so cute!!
You have two wonderful little ones! I hope Amira isn't too traumatized and I hope the bus driver had fun cleaning up the pee!
What a terrible thing to do to a little kid.
That is just the sweetest thing and I am sure he did it with no disrespect, just setting the bus driver straight. That reminds me of when he made sure Amira got her stickers back from all of the kids at the orphanage pulling on them. He s definately a leader/protector.
GO BIRUK :)
Too cute.
On the other side poor princess :(
You sounds great Andrea .
Oh and for the record Ava is NOT spoiled :) haha well maybe a little
Oh I adore your little guy! Tell him WAY TO GO!!! And tell beautiful Miss Amira that we all have accidents sometimes or another. :0) Amy
That's awesome, yay Biruk :)
Zeni remembers the same kids as Biruk and Amira...plus Zerihun and (but she calls him another name that starts with A--I can't remember what it is though!) and Samrawit.
She still LOVES seeing Amira and Biruk on your blog!
