Investigating the roof

Mike had said for a while he thought he would get up in the ceiling and check our roof and insulation before winter set in. To him, it was just another chore to do. To Jayden, it was an exciting opportunity to go somewhere he'd never been before. He kept bugging Mike "When are we going up in the roof", "Shall we go up in the roof today", "Today might be a good day to check the roof dad" and on it went. Finally this past weekend (when I was busy getting a few of my own chores done), he cleared out our wardrobe (where the ceiling hatch is located), got the ladder and up they went. Jayden was so excited.

It's funny how you can so easily forgot the childhood excitement of the unknown you used to have, until you see it in your kids, for often the most mundane of reasons, like checking the roof!

He thinks it wood be a good place to store things (I agree), or perhaps have a play hut (I do not agree)! He will however be allowed to go up again next time Mike does - if the novelty hasn't worn off by then.
