When a child's vocabulary is larger than their comprehension....

Phoebe has always (well at least since she has been talking) been good at repeating words after all of us and saying the word accurately too. However, she clearly does not understand what the heck she is saying. I know we already mentioned this in a previous post, but just to refresh....

BJ had been going to the bathroom, he wanted Phoebe to leave, so he asked her to leave because he needed privacy. After repeating himself and Phoebe seeming confused she finally said to him, "But I can't FIND privacy."

Well Phoebe is at it again! I love sunflower seeds, and the girls have discovered they like eating them too. There was one night when Phoebe should have been in bed and I was eating some. She came over to me and I quickly hid them. She asked what I was eating and I told her, "None of your business." We went through this a few times of her asking me what I was eating and me repeating myself of it not being her business. She eventually asked me (because she never discovered it was seeds) if she could have some of my "business." I laughed and tucked her back in bed and that was that. We revisited "business" today. BJ had just bought a bag of soy nuts and the girls were eating them as fast as they could. Phoebe then asked for more of "Daddy's business." I almost died laughing! She let me know "Daddy's business is yummy."

We will definitely have to clear this matter up with Phoebe. We can't have her walking around calling food "business", can we?!

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
