My 3 have been doing this every night for a couple of weeks now. So far every night I have been trooping out there with my headlight and getting them into bed!

You might find that if you move them, mum moves them back :)
I think the 'cushion' under the shelf sounds a good'un.
I've not had kits but I do have 4 monsters!
