"Herbert"

You may have heard that we have some sort of animal scampering across our roof (inside) every morning, faithfully at 6:00 am. It sounds like he’s the size of Harry Potter, our cat. I'm not sure what kind of animal he is (or how to extract him) but I have named him Herbert.

Recently Elijah has begun squealing with delight after I put him down for a nap and close the door. The other day he sang, played, and squealed for one whole hour before falling asleep. What does he do in there? I have no idea.

Today the thought occurred to me: Elijah loves animals. What if Herbert sneaks in his room to visit him every time he is alone for a nap? What if they are secretly playing together and Elijah is so delighted by his presence?

Any thoughts on what sort of animal Herbert might be?

Lizard/gecko. Do you have those down there? I just remember the tropical places I've been and how those things are EVERYWHERE!
