Adventures in Room Sharing

About a month ago, when Ronin started climbing out of his crib, we decided it was time to move him to Reid's room on the bottom bunk and for Reid to move up to his top bunk.  The transition went surprisingly well.  The boys seem to be bonding more, as they both prefer to snuggle (or "nuggle" as Ronin says) on the same bunk and we're provided with endless entertainment on our video monitor.  On the first night we watched as they played and played and played.  I asked Colby if we should go in and... I don't know... do something.  He said no, just let them play, reminding me that this experience was part of the reason we chose for them to share a room. We found that eventually, Reid would have enough and go up to his bunk to go to sleep.  It's pretty funny to watch, but don't just take my word for it.

(That's Ronin's head you see in the video below.  Reid's in front of him, behind the bed rail.)

There is the occasional hitch where they bug each other to tears or play through nap time, but when we turned the monitor on a couple hours after bed time tonight and found Ronin's bed empty, we tried not to panic.  We ran upstairs not knowing what we'd find.  When we got up there, Ronin's bed was empty, sure enough.  Reid was asleep in his top bunk and Ronin was nowhere to be found.  We checked the Star Wars tent, where we found him asleep once, but it was empty.  We checked his old room, in case he's gotten homesick of his crib.  Nothing.  How do you lose a kid in your own house??  Back into the big boy room...  A clue.

 And he didn't even wake up when we scooped him back into bed.
