Asher still can't say bottom

I guess the problem with introducing the concept of potty training to a toddler is that they learn a whole new vocabulary, all of which evoke a response when yelled at random times.

In addition to finding, discussing and saying poo, Asher loves to get to the bottom of things. Literally.

Lighthouse Tour

Wednesday we visited the Vlaming Head Lighthouse. The lighthouse is open for tours to commemorate lighthouse's 100th anniversary, it isn't usually open.

A concrete tower 12.2m high on an elevation of 73.2m above sea level, completed in 1912. It contains a Chance Bros dioptric light illuminated with vapourised kerosene as its fuel. As the light was decommissioned in 1967 before many of the lights were changed to electric and later to solar power, the Vlamingh Light was in the fortunate position of being the only Lighthouse in Australia to still be powered in its traditional way.There is no other lighthouse in Australia which has been restored with the capacity to run a kerosene burning light.

This photo is from a few months ago when Grandma came for a visit. That is the lighthouse we visited in the background. Now, for photos from the tour...

 The stairs leading up to the top.

 The last set of steps before you whack your head on a well-placed metal bar.

 Me, steps.

Camera!

Asher is fascinated by our cameras. They flash, they make noises, and they have pictures.

We have two cameras, a basic and sturdy underwater camera, and a better camera with a flip-up flash and a zoom.

I've let Asher push the button to take photos a few times before. The day I took this video he wanted to try it for himself!!
